5 21/11/2025 Meta Platforms META Workforce Reduction Meta laid off approximately 600 AI employees across infrastructure and research units as part of organizational restructuring, according to reports. Layoffs particularly affected AI infrastructure teams and research divisions. Action taken despite Meta pumping tens of billions into AI data centers and committing over $100 billion in total AI spending including multibillion-dollar partnership with Scale AI. CEO Mark Zuckerberg remains vocal about ambition to reach AI 'superintelligence.' Company created Superintelligence Labs in June 2025 led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. Meta's fiscal 2025 capex guidance stands at $70-72 billion with plans to grow 'notably larger' in 2026. Q3 2025 results showed $19.37 billion capex (exceeding $18.4 billion analyst expectations), annualized to ~$77 billion run-rate. Reality Labs continues burning $4.4 billion quarterly despite minimal revenue. Layoffs come amid broader AI industry consolidation and efficiency drives as companies face pressure to demonstrate ROI on massive infrastructure investments. Oppenheimer analysts compared Meta's current AI spending approach to 2021-2022 metaverse spending spree, raising concerns about capital allocation discipline. Despite workforce reduction, Meta maintains aggressive AI infrastructure buildout including data center expansion and next-generation AI model development. Layoffs represent organizational realignment rather than retreat from AI ambitions, with company redirecting resources toward highest-priority AI initiatives. Timing coincides with broader tech industry trend of efficiency measures following two years of explosive AI hiring and spending.

6 29-30/10/2025 Tech Industry Multiple AI Capital Expenditure Collective 2025-2026 AI infrastructure capital expenditure commitments from hyperscalers exceeded $380 billion following updated guidance during October-November earnings season, validating Nvidia's disclosed $500 billion order backlog. Alphabet raised 2025 capex forecast to $91-93 billion (up from $85 billion prior), signaling 'significant increase' for 2026. Microsoft spending surged 74% to $34.9 billion in fiscal Q1 2026, largely for Azure AI data centers, with fiscal 2026 total expected ~$140 billion. Meta spent $19.37 billion in Q3 2025 (annualized ~$77 billion run-rate) exceeding $18.4 billion analyst expectations, with 2025 guidance of $70-72 billion growing 'notably larger' in 2026. Amazon estimates 2025 capex will hit $125 billion with plans to increase further in 2026. Even Apple increased AI-related capital expenditure despite not being major cloud provider. Spending concentrated on servers (60% of Alphabet Q3 capex), data centers, networking equipment, and power infrastructure (Amazon added 3.8 gigawatts in 12 months). AWS now has 2x capacity vs 2022, targeting another 2x by 2027. Oracle secured $18 billion funding from 20 banks for data center expansion. Massive spending surge driven by insatiable enterprise demand for AI infrastructure, tight GPU supply (Nvidia Blackwell sold out, Micron HBM3E capacity sold out through 2026), and race to maintain competitive position in generative AI era. Morgan Stanley estimates AI hyperscalers planning ~$3 trillion total data center infrastructure spend through 2028. However, uncertain ROI timeline fueling AI bubble concerns. Gene Munster (Deepwater Asset Management) noted 'Catch-22' where stronger Nvidia guidance paradoxically amplifies investor worries about excessive spending without clear path to profitability. Despite concerns, companies justify spending by citing strong demand that outstrips supply. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated 'as fast as we're adding capacity right now, we're monetizing it.'

7 10/11/2025 Meta / Nebius META Infrastructure Partnership Amsterdam-based AI cloud provider Nebius announced five-year, $3 billion deal with Meta to deliver compute and cloud infrastructure following fourfold surge in annual revenue. Partnership comes after Nebius capacity deployment to begin within three months, limited by current hardware availability constraints. Deal highlights booming demand for AI infrastructure beyond traditional giants like Nvidia, signaling how Meta and other hyperscalers are quietly scaling compute operations through distributed partnerships. Move has major implications for global data centers, energy use, and chip supply chains as companies diversify infrastructure sourcing beyond direct GPU purchases. Nebius provides Meta with additional capacity flexibility to support massive AI workloads including generative AI model training, inference serving, and research initiatives. Partnership enables Meta to accelerate AI infrastructure buildout while mitigating single-vendor concentration risk. Nebius brings specialized expertise in high-performance AI computing clusters and has been rapidly expanding capacity to meet surging demand from AI leaders. Deal validates enterprise willingness to work with emerging specialized infrastructure providers rather than exclusively relying on hyperscale cloud incumbents (AWS, Azure, GCP). For Nebius, Meta partnership provides validation of infrastructure quality and significant revenue visibility supporting continued expansion. Partnership structure allows Meta to maintain focus on AI product development while outsourcing some infrastructure complexity. Timing aligns with Meta's aggressive $70-72 billion 2025 capex guidance focused on AI data centers and computing capacity. Deal part of broader trend of AI companies securing compute capacity through diverse partnerships to ensure supply amid tight GPU availability.

8 21/11/2025 US Department of Justice NVDA Export Control Enforcement US prosecutors indicted four men, including CTO-designate of AI startup Corvex, over alleged plan to illegally export millions of dollars in restricted Nvidia GPUs to China and Hong Kong in violation of US export controls. According to court documents, group allegedly routed chips through Malaysia and Thailand to evade restrictions designed to limit Beijing's access to advanced AI and supercomputing hardware. Key defendant Brian Curtis Raymond owns Bitworks, licensed Nvidia GPU distributor, and was recently announced as incoming CTO of Corvex (Virginia-based AI cloud company planning SPAC IPO) before firm rescinded offer following indictment. Export controls implemented to prevent China from accessing cutting-edge AI chips that could advance military capabilities or support surveillance infrastructure. Case highlights intensifying enforcement of semiconductor export restrictions amid US-China technology competition. Nvidia affected as its most advanced GPUs (H100, H200, A100 series) are subject to stringent export licensing requirements for China. Illegal export schemes threaten to undermine effectiveness of US national security controls on AI technology. Indictments demonstrate Justice Department prioritizing prosecution of semiconductor export violations. For Nvidia, case underscores complexity of global distribution networks and importance of compliance across partner ecosystem. Company explicitly blocked from selling latest Blackwell architecture to China. CFO Colette Kress stated Nvidia 'disappointed' it cannot ship products to China, emphasizing 'To establish sustainable leadership and position in AI computing, America must win support of every developer and be platform of choice for every commercial business, including those in China.' Some analysts expect export controls may be relaxed in 2026 during US-China trade negotiations. Broader context: China represents strategically important market that Nvidia currently cannot access, limiting total addressable market despite massive domestic demand from US, European, and other Asian markets.

9 17/11/2025 Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A Investment Decision Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway disclosed acquiring approximately $4.9 billion stake (17.85 million Class A shares, 0.31% ownership) in Alphabet during Q3 2025 via regulatory 13F filing. Investment marks one of final major decisions under Buffett before he steps down as CEO on December 31, 2025, with Greg Abel assuming role January 1, 2026. Alphabet became Berkshire's 10th largest holding. Rare move by historically tech-averse Buffett into Big Tech beyond Apple (which he views as consumer products company rather than pure technology) provides significant institutional validation of Alphabet's AI cloud profitability trajectory and durable search advertising moat. Stock surged 5-6% Monday November 17 following Friday disclosure, adding approximately $30 billion market capitalization. Investment likely executed by lieutenants Todd Combs or Ted Weschler but stake size typically requires Buffett's approval given Berkshire governance. Buffett previously admitted publicly he 'blew it' by not investing in Google early despite Geico's firsthand experience demonstrating Google advertising effectiveness. Filing came same day as Alphabet Q3 earnings showing first-ever $100 billion quarterly revenue and accelerating AI-driven growth across Search, Cloud, and YouTube. Purchase represents shift from Berkshire's continued Apple stake reduction (down 15% in Q3 to 238.2 million shares, now 74% below peak 900+ million shares) toward more diversified Big Tech exposure. Berkshire maintained 12th consecutive quarter as net seller (bought $6.4 billion, sold $12.5 billion in Q3), with record $381.7 billion cash reserves. Acquisition signals recognition that Big Tech has matured into businesses with economic moats, predictable cash flows, and defensive characteristics historically sought by Berkshire, marking evolution of 'value investing' definition. Timing particularly notable given Alphabet's massive AI infrastructure investments and capex increases, suggesting Buffett/lieutenants see AI spending as justified by revenue growth and market position rather than speculative bubble.
