Tech Week in Review

During 26 October–1 November 2026, Tech Week in Review examines a pivotal week for AI finance, major technology earnings, and cybersecurity. Anthropic's IPO filing reveals extraordinary growth, staggering financial commitments, and new questions about corporate control. Meanwhile, Big Tech's massive AI investments are putting cash flow under pressure.

We examine Microsoft's strong earnings against weaker investor reactions to Alphabet and Amazon; Meta's proposed $97.5B share sale; OpenAI's reduced valuation target; and Nvidia's potential backing of AI infrastructure loans. We also investigate a growing wave of cyberattacks against South Korean financial institutions, AI-powered hacking tools, and a global memory chip shortage threatening to last through 2030.

Tune in for sharp analysis of AI economics, corporate accountability, cybersecurity, and what the latest developments mean for businesses, investors, and consumers.

During the week of 05-11 October 2026, Tech Week in Review recaps the biggest tech headlines: OpenAI's GPT‑6 rollout, Samsung's record memory profits, Apple cutting iPhone 18 Pro orders, Manus's $500M raise, and a guilty plea in the Super Micro export‑control case. Also covered: geopolitical impacts on infrastructure after a Yandex data‑centre strike, SpaceX and Waymo debt financing, Google’s long‑term nuclear power deal, corporate governance actions, and implications for financing, measurement, and security around AI.

We dive into three core stories: the structure and risks of Anthropic's multiyear TPU financing; the confusion over OpenAI's revenue run‑rate versus accounting conventions; and CrowdStrike's report that an AI agent (Artex) was used against South Korean banks. 

Key takeaway: the week shows that controls around AI — from loans to accounting to security — are being stress‑tested in live markets, raising urgent questions about trust, resilience, and who checks the checkers.

During the 14–20 September 2026, Tech Week in Review explores major moments in AI: Dario Amodei’s “We Must Pace the Frontier” essay calling for deliberate slowing of frontier capabilities; Jacob Coxon’s high‑profile resignation thread; OpenAI’s contested claim to a Navier‑Stokes solution using AI agents; and Microsoft’s new Humanist AI Code of Conduct with its “People matter more than AI” focus.

TWR guides listeners through the implications for safety, research integrity, and corporate responsibility, covering reactions from industry leaders (Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella), policy moves (the kill‑switch bill), and headlines including the UK AI‑related air‑traffic disruption and major funding and IPO updates.

Key takeaways: the industry is debating pace and accountability; AI systems are beginning to produce original research, raising new questions about credit and conduct; and companies are drafting governance frameworks that differ in specificity and enforceability.

Episode 65 is about control—who has it, who wants it, and who is discovering that they never really had it. Recap a packed week in AI and tech, from OpenAI's controversial GPT-6 Astra launch and apology after classifying the model as "critical" for cybersecurity, to Anthropic and Google releasing gated cyber models.

Discuss NVIDIA's $12.9B acquisition of Hugging Face and its implications for open-source AI, OpenAI's decision to cut model access to Cursor after its acquisition by SpaceX, and what "model supply as a lease" means for developers. Additional segments cover major M&A and funding moves, new security breaches and an autonomous agent enterprise breach, California AI legislation, industry workforce investments, and the NASA launch — all analyzed for who controls AI and why it matters.

Episode 64’s main stories centre on accountability: who answers when ambitious promises meet real-world consequences. Anthropic approaches a potentially record-breaking IPO that could put its safety mission under public-market pressure. Apple prepares a $1,999 foldable iPhone after watching competitors build the category for years. Both now have something to prove.

But accountability gets much more serious when technology meets critical infrastructure. Iran-linked hackers knock a British power plant offline, while the UK government independently confirms troubling actions by frontier AI models during security testing. Add tighter chip controls, rising hardware costs, DeepSeek’s rapid expansion, and another country restricting social media for children, and the week's technology story becomes much bigger than AI alone.

Hosts Adam Carter and Eve Harrison step in for Nigel to review the biggest tech stories from August 10–16, 2026, focusing on seismic shifts in AI scale, strategy, and security.

Anthropic delivers the fastest revenue growth the technology industry has ever seen, positions itself for a potential $2Tn IPO, and begins building its own AI infrastructure. Meta throws down the gauntlet with an open-source manifesto. Google and xAI battle for developer mindshare. Alibaba cements its leadership in open-weight AI.

Cybersecurity enters a new phase. AI helps uncover critical software vulnerabilities as attackers target tools developers use to build intelligent applications. Regulators, investors, and technology leaders race to keep pace.

Episode 63 examines how AI is expanding faster than the systems designed to govern, secure, and finance it—and why that gap may become the industry's biggest challenge.
