AWS Launches Trainium3 AI Chips to Challenge Nvidia, Google
AWS announced the general availability of its third-generation Trainium3 AI chips, now powering EC2 Trn3 UltraServers and UltraClusters 3.0. Developed by Annapurna Labs and manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm process, Trainium3 delivers about 2.5 PetaFLOPS per chip with FP8, a 95% increase over the predecessor. The new architecture uses water cooling and NeuronLink networking, supporting up to a million chips per cluster. AWS claims up to 50% cost savings compared to GPU-based systems and four times higher token generation per megawatt for inference. Production customers include Anthropic, Decart, Amazon Bedrock, and others. AWS also previewed Trainium4 with FP4 support and a shift to Nvidia's NVLink Fusion interconnect.
AWS's new AI chips increase competition in AI hardware, potentially lowering costs for AI model training and inference, which underpins many AdTech and MarTech operations.

Google launches unified agentic AI for Gemini
At a Google Cloud event on Thursday, Google announced it is bringing agentic AI to its Gemini assistant, launching a unified agent that can autonomously plan and execute tasks on behalf of users. Aimed initially at businesses, the agent can connect to internal systems and external tools, use custom skills, and even choose from third-party models like Anthropic's Claude. It will have its own Workspace account with an email address, and will write its own audit trail. Early testers include On, Shopify, and PayPal. Gemini has over 1 billion monthly active users, and nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies use Gemini Enterprise.
AI Stocks Sink as OpenAI Revenue Misses Reported Figure
Shares of Nvidia, Oracle, CoreWeave and other AI-related companies fell on Thursday after details emerged about OpenAI's revenue. OpenAI told investors it reached roughly $50 billion in annualized revenue at the end of September, lower than the widely reported $68 billion figure. A person familiar with the matter said the $68 billion figure included gross revenue from partners, making it more comparable to Anthropic. OpenAI also highlighted 77% total run rate growth in Q3 and 107% growth in enterprise business. The company is preparing for a potential IPO, with a valuation of $852 billion, and is in early talks to raise around $30 billion in new funding.
US suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program
The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe, and six other major tech firms—Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro—from the U.S. Permanent Labor Certification program, which facilitates green cards for skilled foreign workers. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling cited active federal investigations and alleged fraud, noting that no new or pending applications from these companies will be accepted. Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of replacing laid-off workers with H-1B visa holders. Microsoft defended its practices, stating that most U.S. employees are American and that 80% of its H-1B petitions were for existing employees. The announcement was made during a White House summit on H-1B fraud, and the administration also plans to investigate nine universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, over student visa program abuse.
