The Information’s Aaron Holmes and Anissa Gardizy talk with TITV Host Akash Pasricha about why Microsoft and large cloud providers are "hoarding" GPUs, creating a new bottleneck for AI startups. We also talk with Harvey's Niko Gruppen about the launch of GPT 5.5 and whether it puts OpenAI back in "pole position" over Anthropic’s Claude Code. Our Co-Executive editor Martin Peers breaks down Meta's decision to cut 10% of its workforce to fuel AI spending and Intel's surprising 125% stock surge. Finally, Julia Hornstein joins to reveal the inside story of why SpaceX is moving to acquire the coding startup Cursor for a staggering $60 billion.
