01 · IN THE HEADLINES
Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia

On November 12, Nvidia said co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, effective immediately. He has also left the company’s board.
Chief financial officer Colette Kress takes over as interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent leader. Harvey C. Jones becomes the board’s first-ever chair.
Why it matters: Huang led Nvidia for 33 years and became the face of the AI boom. Nvidia makes the chips behind most of today’s AI, so a change at the top affects the whole industry.
His exit follows days of turmoil. Huang admitted to an affair after reports that US intelligence suspected the woman of spying for China, and the board opened an investigation. Media then reported a second affair, with a company executive.
What happens next? Nvidia says the business will carry on as normal. It will still share its quarterly results on November 17, as planned.
02 · AT WORK
Robots with Google’s AI pack car parts in real factories

On November 10, Google DeepMind released Gemini Robotics 2.5, its most capable AI for controlling robots. It helps robots use tools and handle delicate or floppy objects more reliably.
In a test at Mercedes-Benz factories in Hungary and Germany, Apptronik’s Apollo 2 humanoid robots used it to sort car parts into trays, with a 96% success rate.
Across 200 test tasks, like tying a bow or serving food with tongs, robots succeeded 30% to 100% more often than before and worked 20% to 30% faster.
Why it matters: robots are slowly moving from labs into real workplaces, starting with repetitive jobs that people find tiring.
Can you use it today? No. It is rolling out to Google’s robotics partners, not to the public.
03 · ON THE STOCK MARKET

On November 10, Anthropic, the company behind Claude, started its roadshow: the final step where a company presents its shares to big investors before it lists on the stock market.
It plans to sell 825 million shares at between $70 and $78 each, and list on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker “ANT”.
Good to know: the final price and date are not set yet, and the plans can still change. Nothing here is investment advice.
