Alphabet Q3 2026: revenue up 25% to $127.6B, Google Cloud up 103%, first-party model APIs near 32B tokens per minute

After the US market close on Oct 28, Alphabet reported Q3 2026 results: revenue rose 25% to $127.6B, and Google Cloud revenue more than doubled, up 103% to $30.7B, which the company attributes to enterprise AI infrastructure, AI solutions and TPU system sales. In the release and on X, Sundar Pichai said first-party model APIs now process nearly 32B tokens per minute, more than four times a year ago, and that the Gemini app has reached one billion users. The cost: Q3 capital expenditures of $51.4B and free cash flow of negative $9.1B.

Alphabet Q3 2026: revenue up 25% to $127.6B, Google Cloud up 103%, first-party model APIs near 32B tokens per minute

AMD introduces Helion agentic AI rack blueprint: OCP-based design, up to 32,768 CPU cores for hyperscale, MI350P all-in-one for enterprise, partner configs due November 2026

On 2026-10-12 AMD introduced Helion, an OCP-based open rack blueprint for agentic AI infrastructure building on Helios. Hyperscale CPU-only racks with 6th Gen EPYC can reach up to 32,768 cores for agent execution tied to separate inference; enterprise all-in-one racks combine EPYC, Instinct MI350P and general-purpose compute. Open hardware/software plus an integrated token router for frontier and open-source model calls; AMD plans to contribute the spec to OCP, with partner configurations targeted for November 2026.

Key Takeaways

  • Official: AMD Newsroom and GlobeNewswire (2026-10-12)
  • Configs: CPU-only 6th Gen EPYC up to 32,768 cores (hyperscale agent execution) vs all-in-one EPYC + Instinct MI350P + general compute (enterprise)
  • Stack: OCP blueprint, air/liquid cooling, open software, integrated token router across frontier and open-source models
  • Go-to-market: spec to be contributed to OCP; Cisco/Dell/Hon Hai/HPE/Lenovo/QCT/Supermicro/Wiwynn quoted; partner configs planned November 2026 (vendor)
  • Vs Helios: Helios is training/large-scale inference rackscale; Helion is the agent-execution-flexible blueprint — do not treat as one SKU

TechCrunch/Bloomberg: Crusoe reportedly raises $3B at ~$30B valuation

TechCrunch, citing Bloomberg, reports AI data-center/cloud builder Crusoe — which counts Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI among customers — raised a new ~$3B round at about a $30B valuation. Atreides Management and Valor Equity Partners are co-leading, with Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Capital participating. Bloomberg also reported a ~$13B five-year cloud contract supplying Jane Street with GPUs and AI infrastructure. The raise comes ~10 months after a $1.38B round at a ~$10B valuation last October; Axios previously said Crusoe met Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley about a near-term IPO.

Key Takeaways

  • Reported ~$3B raise at ~$30B; Atreides and Valor co-lead, Mubadala Capital in
  • Also: ~$13B five-year Jane Street GPU/AI cloud contract
  • ~10 months after ~$1.38B / ~$10B; near-term IPO talks reported

Together AI and HUMAIN sign 250MW open-source data center deal, $5B+ annualized

Together AI said it signed one of the largest AI infrastructure deals for open source: a 250MW data center with HUMAIN in Saudi Arabia, carrying more than $5 billion in annualized revenue. The company framed the pact as open-source compute catching up with closed models that have long been bankrolled by hyperscalers, and argued power—not chips alone—is the binding constraint. For teams that fine-tune and serve open weights, the deal points to a step-change in dedicated capacity without each lab raising its own multi-billion-dollar balance sheet.

Key Takeaways

  • The deal is a 250MW data center with HUMAIN in Saudi Arabia and more than $5B in annualized revenue.
  • Together positions it as open-source compute catching up with hyperscaler-backed closed models.
  • The company says power is the bottleneck and partnerships beat every lab raising its own billions.
