Welcome, Tech Leaders.
Weiyao Wang, a key figure in Meta's AI research, has left the company after eight years. His departure comes as Thinking Machines Lab (TML) announced a massive cloud deal with Google, giving them access to Nvidia's GB300 chips. TML is one of the first startups to run on this hardware. This move highlights the intense competition for top AI talent and the growing importance of cloud infrastructure in AI research.
Meta's cloud bill is about to get a lot more expensive for Google Cloud. The company has signed a new deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) worth billions, which will see it use millions of AWS Graviton chips for its AI workloads. This move is a huge blow to Google Cloud, which had previously inked a six-year, $10 billion deal with Meta. But what does this mean for developers? If you're running large-scale AI workloads on AWS, this could be a game-changer. With the Graviton chip's improved price-performance ratio, you may find yourself saving money on your cloud bills. But don't get too excited – the real impact will depend on how well AWS can deliver on its promises. Let's dive deeper…

Summary: Weiyao Wang left Meta after eight years, joining Thinking Machines Lab (TML), which just signed a multibillion-dollar cloud deal with Google. TML is now one of the first startups to run on Nvidia's GB300 chips.
Key Points:
Thinking Machines Lab (TML) has signed a multibillion-dollar cloud deal with Google, giving them access to Nvidia's GB300 chips.
Weiyao Wang, a top Meta AI expert, left the company after eight years to join Thinking Machines Lab.
TML is now one of the first startups to run on Nvidia's GB300 chips, a significant milestone in AI research.
Thinking Machines Lab has an earlier partnership with Nvidia and has drawn talent from beyond Meta, including Neal Wu and Jeffrey Tao.
Meta reportedly held talks to acquire TML around this time last year, but ultimately lost out to Google.
Why it matters: If you're running AI workloads on AWS or GCP, this deal means Thinking Machines Lab will have access to significantly more compute power. This could lead to breakthroughs in areas like natural language processing and computer vision. However, it also raises questions about the concentration of AI talent and resources.

Summary: Meta signed a massive deal with AWS to use millions of ARM-based Graviton chips for AI workloads, dumping its previous $10 billion agreement with Google Cloud. This move is a huge blow to Google Cloud and raises questions about the future of cloud computing.
Key Points:
AWS will provide Meta with millions of Graviton chips, which are designed specifically for AI-related compute needs.
The deal brings more of Meta's cash back to AWS instead of competitors like Google Cloud.
Meta signed a six-year, $10 billion deal with Google Cloud in August, but has now switched to AWS.
AWS announced the deal during the Google Cloud Next conference, where Google also showcased its own custom AI chips.
Anthropic signed a deal to spend $100 billion over 10 years on AWS, with a focus on Trainium, Amazon's AI GPU.
Why it matters: If you're running large-scale AI workloads on AWS, this could be a game-changer. With the Graviton chip's improved price-performance ratio, you may find yourself saving money on your cloud bills. But don't get too excited – the real impact will depend on how well AWS can deliver on its promises.

Positioning Adobe as an agent-orchestration hub for CX
Why it matters: Adobe is repositioning its core Experience stack as an agent-orchestration surface — a template for how incumbents plan to survive the agentic era.

Summary: SK Hynix reported record first-quarter results, with operating profit up roughly 405% year-over-year to 37.6 trillion won and revenue up 198% to 52.6…
Key Points:
Operating profit up ~405% YoY to 37.6T won
Revenue up 198% YoY to 52.6T won
HBM demand still outstripping supply into 2026
Why it matters: SK Hynix's blowout quarter confirms that AI memory — not GPUs alone — is the tightest constraint in the AI supply chain right now.
Infrastructure
Summary: Researchers published a breakthrough using AI to automate quantum dot voltage tuning — a step that scales far beyond human capability and is essentia…
Key Points:
AI tunes quantum dot voltages at scale
Addresses a known bottleneck for large qubit arrays
Published April 23, 2026
Why it matters: AI is increasingly the enabling technology for quantum hardware, compressing calibration timelines that have held back practical systems for years.
Business

Summary: IBM beat on both top and bottom lines in Q1 2026 — EPS of $1.91 on revenue of $15.92 billion — but shares fell roughly 9% as investors worried about …
Key Points:
Q1 EPS $1.91 vs $1.81 expected; revenue $15.92B vs $15.61B
Consulting grew only 1%, raising AI-disruption fears
Software +11.3%, Red Hat +13%, IBM Z +51%
Why it matters: IBM's reaction is a clear signal that Wall Street now prices in AI disruption risk for legacy services firms, regardless of headline beats.
