aloha everyone it's wednesday november 19th 2025 and this is episode 598 i'm jun i'm junmi and i'm joined by andy and brian today and hopefully we'll get carl a little later uh we're gonna cover today's ai headlines uh if we've got the time we'll take a deeper look at how ai is helping scientists read a billion-year-old rock for signs of life, and maybe share a quick highlight of a craft AI.
But I imagine most of our time we'll be talking about the biggest news on the AIosphere right now, which is Gemini 3.
this is the daily ai show so before we you know dive deep into gemini 3 i wanted to do a quick round robin of other news stories uh that you might have andy do you want to lead us off here yes please so today is wednesday and after the markets close today nvidia is going to be announcing their third quarter uh earnings and
The entire market is really kind of poised to either kind of accelerate the softness of the market and the downturn that has been foretold, or people are going to be tremendously excited by the sort of margin structure of NVIDIA and its prospect of having nearly $500 billion worth of backlog in book sales sales of their chips for 2026.
The market will either go one way or the other, and it's all going to be as a result of that announcement. Now, we track these major players and Microsoft and Nvidia are announcing today a new strategic partnership with Anthropic. So, I'm a big fan of Anthropic and I think they certainly deserve the investment that's being made in them by Microsoft and NVIDIA.
together almost $15 billion being put by Microsoft and NVIDIA together with that AI startup and pledging $30 billion in Azure cloud commitments as part of the deal. So NVIDIA is putting $10 billion in, Microsoft adding $5 billion to Anthropic at a valuation of $350 billion. So now Anthropic... has a small, small fraction of the number of users that OpenAI does.
And OpenAI is reputed to be valued at 500 billion. Well, in this scale, the difference between 350 billion and 500 billion is not that great. These numbers can kind of float around out there, but it's order of magnitude, the very same kind of extremely high valuation for Anthropic. I think deservedly so.
Analysts say Anthropic is doing a better job of managing costs and revenues in a way that it will reach profitability and positive cash flow much sooner than OpenAI will. So there's some justifications for all that. But I think it's very interesting that Anthropic has been supported by and is invested by Amazon for quite a while. So you can get Anthropics models on Amazon's AI platforms.
But now you'll also be able to get Anthropic models. in the Microsoft Azure cloud. And then NVIDIA is playing along here, and they're talking about developing new chips specifically optimized for cloud. And so really excited about that news, even alongside the huge splash that Gemini has made.
