Dubai – November 06, 2026 -- Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO) generated more than US$280 million in revenue from June through September and is targeting about US$600 million for full-year 2026, CEO Benjamin Zhai told shareholders in an open letter. The company also said it does not intend to enter new equity-linked, variable-price financing arrangements for a period following the letter's date.

Robo.ai pledges to tie every dollar of capital to operating plans

The financing pledge covers arrangements in which the issuance or conversion price is tied to the future market price of Robo.ai's shares. Zhai said the decision rests on the company's current operating position and funding arrangements. Robo.ai will keep honoring obligations and retain its rights under previously disclosed agreements.

San Francisco – November 06, 2026 -- ExpertCrowd, Toptal's AI model training platform, and Y Combinator-backed HUD have released ExpertCrowd-SWE, a software engineering benchmark that evaluates frontier-grade large language models (LLMs) and coding agents.

Toptal engineers wrote the tasks and grading rubrics

Engineers from Toptal's network of domain experts authored the benchmark's tasks and grading rubrics. HUD's infrastructure then hosted the task-run environments and verified the benchmarks through its internal quality assurance pipelines.

HUD and Toptal AI research teams reviewed the methodology and results. The teams include more than a dozen PhDs and researchers with academic or professional experience at Harvard, EPFL, the University of Liège, DeepMind, Qwen and ByteDance.

LAS VEGAS – November 06, 2026 -- CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), which controls a portfolio of more than 1.8 GW of power, land and data centers across the United States, announced its participation in upcoming investor conferences.

The company said live webcasts, replay information and updated presentations will be available on its investor relations page, where applicable. The announcement did not name the conferences or give dates.

CleanSpark describes itself as a data center developer built on low-cost energy

CleanSpark calls itself a market-leading data center developer. It says its infrastructure runs on globally competitive energy prices and sits at the intersection of Bitcoin, energy, operational excellence and capital stewardship. The company says it monetizes low-cost, high-reliability energy by producing compute.

Berlin – November 06, 2026 -- Shares of companies tied to the artificial intelligence boom fell on the Nasdaq and on major Asian and European exchanges after the US midterm elections, and South Korea temporarily suspended stock trading because of the losses, according to a commentary in German daily nd.DerTag.

Korea's state-backed AI buildout meets a trading halt

South Korea's government is betting heavily on expanding AI infrastructure. The sell-off there was severe enough to interrupt exchange trading.

Investors bet Democratic win will slow AI expansion

The commentary says investors are speculating that the Democratic victory will halt the AI buildout, and it questions whether that is realistic. It attributes the sharp reaction mainly to nervousness after steep tech-sector price gains in recent months.

Munich – November 06, 2026 -- LITEON Technology will present an end-to-end power architecture built around 800 VDC for AI data centers at electronica 2026 in Munich, running November 10 to 13 across two booths under the theme "LITEON Powers AI."

LITEON covers rack-to-chip power delivery for high-density AI computing

Rising AI power density is reshaping data center power architectures and increasing the need for efficient, reliable power delivery from the rack to the chip. LITEON's architecture spans energy storage, rack-level power delivery, server power and chip-level power conversion.

The product lineup includes 800 VDC, high-power Power Shelves, modular power solutions, 800V and 50V Power Bricks, Intermediate Bus Converter (IBC) Modules and Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs). LITEON will also show high-power magnetic components for AI power systems, energy storage and industrial power conversion.

San Jose – November 06, 2026 -- Supermicro, IBM and NVIDIA have launched a joint KV cache storage solution that delivered up to 56x faster Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) at 130,000-token prompts in testing with a 120-billion-parameter large language model.

Test results show TTFT rising 0.377 seconds with cache versus 29.55 seconds without

As input length grew from 30,000 to 130,000 tokens, TTFT increased by only 0.377 seconds with persistent KV cache. Without it, TTFT increased by 29.55 seconds. The figures come from joint testing by Supermicro and NVIDIA and are detailed in an IBM Redbook.

The companies also ran cluster-level validation covering high-concurrency and noisy-neighbor network traffic scenarios.

DALLAS – November 06, 2026 -- Only 38.9% of Fermi Inc.'s outstanding shares voted to re-elect director Rick Perry at the October 30 annual meeting, according to co-founder and largest shareholder Toby Neugebauer. He is now demanding that the Nasdaq-listed company (FRMI) put itself up for sale while it closes a tenant deal.

Perry vote falls short under the board's own majority rule

More than 61% of outstanding shares did not back Perry, Neugebauer said. Excluding the 68,842,821 shares the Perry family last reported owning, support dropped to 31.5% of the remaining shares. Neugebauer said Perry ran behind the other director on the ballot on every measure.

SAN JOSE – November 04, 2026 -- Mixx Technologies has joined the Expanded Beam Optics Multi-Source Agreement (EBO MSA) and the Open CPX MSA as a contributing member, pitching its SxCTM connector at 0.2 dB typical fiber-to-fiber loss for the near-package optics step in hyperscale AI data centers.

SxC connector holds loss under 0.5 dB at up to 24,576 fibers per rack unit

The SxCTM connector, launched in September, is the connectivity layer of Mixx's HBxIOTM platform. It is rated at under 0.5 dB maximum loss. In a single Open Compute Project rack unit it carries up to 24,576 fibers, four times the fiber density of MMC. Its optical structures are formed at wafer scale, which lets fibers sit in a two-dimensional array.

New York – November 04, 2026 -- Nearly 3,000 developers worldwide entered Qloo's Global Agentic Hackathon, building functional AI applications on the company's Taste AI infrastructure, with finalists set to pitch live on Jason Calacanis's This Week in Startups podcast on November 5.

Qloo offers $25,000 in prizes plus a separate $25,000 investment pledge

The competition, hosted on Devpost, pays $15,000 for first place, $6,000 for second and $4,000 for third. Calacanis, an entrepreneur and angel investor, has separately pledged a personal $25,000 investment in his favorite project, giving one team a route to early-stage backing.

DALLAS – November 05, 2026 -- Limestone Networks (LSN) will use its second consecutive appearance at CloudFest Americas and NamesCon Global in Miami to promote a network of 24 data center locations worldwide and a new GPU-accelerated compute offering, with two executive-led panels on the Biscayne Stage on November 11 and 12.

The AI infrastructure provider, which builds on a bare metal core, will exhibit at Ice Palace Studios. It is also hosting a pickleball tournament at The Deck in Wynwood on Tuesday, November 10, the night before the show opens. Registration runs from 5:00 to 5:45 PM ET, and play starts at 6:00 PM ET.
