Google dodges one antitrust bullet, Anthropic keeps the AI boom going, AI winners and losers

Mistral is reportedly raising at a $14 billion valuation, while OpenAI snapped up Statsig for $1.1 billion. Add in Sierra, You.com, Baseten, and LayerX’s funding rounds plus Atlassian’s $610 million Browser Company buy, and it’s clear: AI startups and browsers are red-hot right now.

Google dodged a major antitrust setback when a judge ruled it could keep Chrome and maintain search deals with Apple and others, provided they aren’t exclusive. While U.S. courts cited AI’s impact on search, the EU hit Google with a $3.5 billion ad tech fine.

Furrier and Vellante debate whether Nvidia’s “scale up, scale out, scale across” vision can sustain growth beyond hyperscalers into enterprises. Dell’s AI Factory emerges as a case study, with enterprises eager for turnkey solutions but still facing configuration and integration hurdles. The conversation explores where real adoption traction is happening.

This Week in Enterprise 

The AI boom didn’t quite save Nvidia earnings, but enterprise software cashed in

In the most-watched tech event this week, Nvidia came up (a bit) short on earnings, but it still offered a pretty darn good growth projections.

Thing is, they didn’t include any possible sales to China, which don’t seem out of the question at some point. No surprise that investors mostly gave it a pass, the stock down less than a point Thursday.

It was a mixed bag for other enterprise hardware and software, as Snowflake, MongoDB, Box, Autodesk and Elastic outperformed, thanks to enterprises using their wares to build AI apps, along with Pure Storage and NetApp. But Dell, Nutanix, HP and Marvell disappointed, though not massively so, mostly on revenue outlooks investors wish were a little higher. Well, sure.

VMware is trying to remain relevant in cloud application development in the AI era, adding AI features to its VMware Cloud Foundation for private clouds and its Tanzu application platform. All well and good, but it’s still an uphill battle against the big cloud providers that are still drawing in more enterprises to their platforms every day.

Not to be an AI doomer, but more downsides of AI are emerging: actual job and website revenue losses, plus Elon Musk’s haymaker against Apple and OpenAI, Anthropic’s possibly precedent-setting copyright infringement lawsuit settlement, and, far from least, the death of a teen his parents blame in a lawsuit on conversations with ChatGPT, and now a murder-suicide apparently fed by ChatGPT. If not deal killers, all this will require more than sheer boosterism while whistling past the graveyard to keep AI’s momentum going.

But it reportedly had to raise a new round to show it’s serious, which remains in doubt despite its claim that it has several venture funds interested in backing its bid.Enterprise earnings reports were another mixed bag this week, as Cisco Systems outperformed thanks to AI infrastructure deals, but Applied Materials plunged after a downbeat forecast that signals potential trouble for the chip industry, and AI cloud data center provider CoreWeave tanked.Check out the article https://siliconangle.com/2025/08/15/intel-ceos-trump-travails-perplexitys-audacious-bid-chrome-cryptos-ipo-party/Watch the full podcast below to find out why these industry pros were mentioned:

This Week in Enterprise:

OpenAI debuts GPT-5 AI model, Trump calls for Intel CEO to resign, and IPOs keep popping

AI continues to suck all the air and the dollars out of the room, with a flurry of new models and new fundings this week.

It’s still a breakneck race in AI, as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google all released new models and agents. In particular, OpenAI debuted its GPT-5 flagship model, which combines the reasoning abilities of its o-series with the faster responses of its GPT series.

OpenAI’s biggest challenge actually won’t be fellow foundation model makers but the likes of JPMorgan, whose data holds the real value for the future of AI — so explain Dave Vellante and George Gilbert in their latest Breaking Analysis.

Investors don’t seem to be thinking that far ahead, though, as OpenAI’s reported talks on its latest stock sale carrying a $500 billion valuation for the company keep upping the need to execute perfectly to grow into it.

The drumbeat of initial public offerings continued this week with Firefly Aerospace debuting with a 34% pop over its initial offering price. Cryptocurrency exchange Bullish also filed.

It was a decidedly mixed bag for enterprise tech earnings this week, as Palantir, Digital Ocean, Arista, Extreme Networks and others outperformed, but AMD, Supermicro, Kyndryl and others disappointed. Next week’s earnings include Cisco, CoreWeave and Applied Materials.
