Broadcom is starting to amass funding to pay for chips for Anthropic. The reported funding target is $60B. This shifts Broadcom’s capital allocation toward supplying AI compute hardware to Anthropic.
Tech companies drove most of S&P 500 earnings growth in 2026 while AI-related capex shifted demand from software toward semiconductors, power, networking, and other hardware buildouts. About 76% of the S&P 500’s total earnings growth in 2026 came from tech as of late August. The result is continued GPU demand and capital ramping in compute and related infrastructure despite early-stage AI adoption metrics.
ARX Robotics signed an alliance with Ukraine’s Roboneers to jointly integrate their unmanned land warfare systems and expand ground-drone supplies for Ukraine. The partnership targets several thousand Rys Pro ground drones in the first year, then tens of thousands annually. It changes operations by scaling production through a joint venture and feeding front-line lessons into software-defined land systems for other Western armies.
NVIDIA’s IsaacTeleop tutorial builds the graph-based retargeting engine that converts XR hand tracking and controller inputs into action vectors for simulated and real robots without using a headset, by generating and wiring TensorGroups through NumPy-only steps.
