Nvidia Posts $57B Revenue in Q3 as Blackwell Sales Surge
Nvidia reported record revenue of $57.0 billion for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, up 22 percent quarter-over-quarter and 62 percent year-over-year. Data-center revenue reached an all-time high of $51.2 billion, up 66 percent year-over-year. GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins were about 73.4 and 73.6 percent, with earnings per share of $1.30. The company guided fourth-quarter revenue to $65.0 billion. CEO Jensen Huang said Blackwell sales are "off the charts" and cloud GPUs are sold out, driven by accelerating compute demand across training and inference. Nvidia announced AI infrastructure agreements with OpenAI, including at least 10 gigawatts of systems, and a first-time Anthropic deployment with 1 gigawatt. It also partnered with Oracle on large AI supercomputers, with Intel on custom data-center and PC products, and with Uber on autonomous mobility.
Nvidia's record earnings and strong AI infrastructure demand signal sustained investment in AI compute, which underpins AI-driven advertising technology, generative optimization, and automated media buying.

AI Price War: OpenAI Gains Ground on Anthropic
The AI price war is intensifying, with OpenAI gaining significant ground on Anthropic among business customers. According to a Wall Street Journal report, spending on OpenAI and Anthropic models via the OpenRouter platform was nearly evenly split in September among roughly 120,000 companies using both, a shift from January when Anthropic held about 75% of that spending. OpenAI's aggressive price cuts on its GPT-5.6 lineup, including an 80% reduction on its smallest model Luna and 20% on Terra, are driving this change. Companies are increasingly prioritizing cost, combining multiple providers and using cheaper models for simpler tasks. Anthropic faces its own challenges, including capacity issues with Claude Code and data retention criticism. Both companies are preparing for IPOs, needing to demonstrate sustainable revenue to justify valuations exceeding $1 trillion.
