October 12, 2025, 7:45 AM EDT. All eyes are on NASA’s plan to use SpaceX’s Starship for a lunar mission, but the route remains uncertain. The agency targets a mid-2027 Moon landing, yet Starship has failed in about six of ten test flights and a recent ground test exploded. A Monday launch of Flight 11 from Texas will test critical milestones, including topping off fuel in orbit for the first time in this program. Analysts note that Version 2 (V2) could be superseded by newer iterations (V3/V4), altering the fuel math. Estimates on how many fuel tankers are needed range from ~10 to more than 40, per Johnson Space Center. The question remains: can Starship keep pace with a rising China National Space Administration in the broader lunar race?

October 12, 2025, 7:31 AM EDT. Ben Horowitz and Raghu Raghuram discuss how AI is shifting computing from deterministic to probabilistic models, creating a new era of reasoning abundance and vast opportunities across enterprise and consumer markets. As Raghuram joins a16z AI infrastructure and growth teams, he and Horowitz frame a16z as dream builders focused on founders rather than acquisitions, even as the VC landscape changes under AI. The conversation touches crypto regulatory clarity, optimism around a Trump AI executive order, and hopes for rare earth mining and manufacturing for defense—all while navigating immigration debates. The pair reflect on how VC, policy, and technology intersect in a world where AI reshapes what computing can be and what investors should fund.

October 12, 2025, 7:29 AM EDT. KPMG US CEO says AI adoption is absolutely essential and centers on upskilling the workforce. The firm has licensed AI tools to every employee and is accelerating adoption through alliances. One year ago, about 20% of CEOs discussed AI investments; now it’s a matter of when, not if, for many companies. KPMG aims to empower staff to meet market demand by putting AI in the hands of every professional. Leadership emphasizes that adoption is not optional, with clear messaging and protocols to encourage use while continuing to build talent. The shift mirrors broader industry moves, including powers like agents and a push by peers such as Accenture toward AI-driven transformation.

October 12, 2025, 7:14 AM EDT. OpenAI and Nvidia unveiled a strategic partnership to fund AI data centers, with Nvidia investing about $100 billion into OpenAI, which will deploy Nvidia GPUs to build 10 gigawatts of capacity. The plan could dramatically scale AI compute, potentially boosting Nvidia's annual revenue by tens of billions through 2030, even as OpenAI remains non-profit and financing remains capital-intensive. Nvidia already tops the market cap list, and its $165 billion revenue in the last twelve months supports further upside. The collaboration could also add sustained GPU demand from other customers like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, while OpenAI's investment strengthens its data-center footprint. While exciting, investors should temper expectations about a $10 trillion stock outcome.
