Good morning!
Time is not real because how will it already be November next Saturday? Unlike October, I am not speeding through my coffee or these updates.
What You Missed This Week:
1. 🤝 Anthropic expands use of Google Cloud TPUs in multiyear deal
Anthropic will increase its reliance on Google Cloud’s TPU chips as part of an expanded partnership to train future versions of its Claude AI models. The deal gives Anthropic access to up to one million TPUs and more than one gigawatt of computing capacity expected to come online in 2026. The company said it selected TPUs for their cost efficiency and strong performance in large-scale AI workloads. Google will also provide additional cloud services as TPUs become an alternative to scarce Nvidia GPUs. (Reuters)
2. 📈 Set it & Forget it, Affordable SEO
Most SEO agencies will charge you $5,000 a month, promise the world, and deliver nothing but a confusing report and disappointment. Ranked is the exact opposite.
These guys are almost too good to be true, but they’re actually amazing. We use them ourselves, and the results speak for themselves:
Real SEO that works — weekly content, site optimization, and quality backlinks
Full transparency — clear deliverables and easy-to-read reports
No BS contracts — all plans are month-to-month, starting at just $99/month
I know what you’re thinking: “$99? Is it a scam?” Nope. Just a team that figured out how to make SEO actually affordable and effective.
Apple shares closed up at $262.24 on Monday, putting the tech company at a nearly $4 trillion valuation for the first time ever. However, on Friday rose by another 1.25% and closed at $262.82. This was a result of a strong demand for the iPhone 17, which outperformed the iPhone 16 by 14% in early sales in both the U.S. and China. Apple is now the world’s second-most valuable publicly traded company behind Nvidia and going neck to neck with Microsoft. (Forbes)
4. 💻 OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered web browser
Earlier this week, Open AI launched Atlas and kicked off the AI browser wars. It will roll out first on macOS with Windows, iOS and Android “coming soon”. Atlas lets users chat with search results and run a sidecar ChatGPT panel that keeps page context. OpenAI says free users get access at launch, while “agent mode” that’s made for automating small web tasks will be limited to Plus, Pro, and Business tiers initially. The browser can use history to personalize answers. Atlas enters a field crowded by Chrome/Edge upgrades and AI browsers like Perplexity’s Comet. (Open AI)

6. 💰 Grindr shareholders propose taking dating app private for $3.46 billion
Time for some news that doesn’t revolve around AI or the latest social media feature. A group of shareholders led by board members Ray Zage and James Lu, who together own more than 60 percent of Grindr, has offered $18 per share to acquire Grindr and take it private. The bid represents a 51% premium to the stock’s closing price on October 10 and values the app at $3.46 billion. Shares rose nearly 19% after the proposal was announced. (Reuters)
