Nvidia’s third fiscal quarter, which ended on October 26, 2025, not only surpassed the company’s previous sales records but further cemented its position at the center of the artificial intelligence hardware ecosystem. The Santa Clara-based chipmaker reported $57 billion in GAAP revenue, a 62 percent increase year-over-year and a 22 percent sequential rise from the previous quarter. Gross margins reached 73.4 percent, remaining within a narrow and stable range quarter-over-quarter despite ongoing supply constraints at the high end and intense competition for GPU capacity.
Nvidia’s data center segment accounted for $51.2 billion, an extraordinary 66 percent increase year-over-year and a 25 percent sequential rise.

There is a serious security problem inside Comet, the AI-powered agentic browser made by Perplexity, SquareX researchers say: Comet’s MCP API allows the browser’s built-in (but hidden from the user) extensions to issue commands directly to a user’s device, and the capability can be leveraged by attackers.
Comet can run applications, read files and modify data on the local system. “Old-school” browsers normally block this level of access, but (some) AI-powered browsers are effectively braking this isolation layer, the researchers noted.

The latest release of the Epstein documents reveals extensive communications between the convicted sex offender and powerful figures across politics and academia who continued corresponding with him after his 2008 guilty plea.
According to NPR’s reporting on the 23,000 documents released by the House Oversight Committee, linguist Noam Chomsky wrote what appears to be a letter of recommendation calling Epstein a ”highly valued friend,” noting that ”Jeffrey constantly raises searching questions and puts forth provocative ideas, which have repeatedly led me to rethink crucial issues.”
