Novo Nordisk to Collaborate With Anthropic to Help Accelerate Drug Discovery, Development

Novo Nordisk (NVO) will collaborate with artificial intelligence firm Anthropic to help accelerate the discovery and development of new medicines, marking the Danish pharmaceutical giant's latest AI partnership.Novo plans to initially test Anthropic's Claude Science for specific workflows in research and development. The drugmaker will also use frontier models from the Claude generative AI chatbot maker to strengthen AI-driven software development, the companies said Wednesday."This partnership is another testament to our ambition to become the world's most AI-driven healthcare company, building on Novo's current AI initiatives with other technology partners," Novo Chief Executive Mike Doustdar said. "Joining forces with Anthropic will supercharge our R&D organization and help us on our mission to bring new, transformative health solutions to people living with chronic diseases."Earlier this year, Novo announced similar partnerships with Amazon.com's (AMZN) cloud-computing unit, Amazon Web Services, and GenAI chatbot ChatGPT maker OpenAI. Novo previously struck partnerships with tech giants Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT).Novo's American depositary receipts were down 2% in Wednesday late-afternoon trade, bringing its year-to-date losses to 18%.In May, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) and Anthropic struck a deal to deploy the Claude model across the biopharmaceutical company's global operations to accelerate drug discovery, trial documentation, and manufacturing workflows."By giving leading researchers access to safe, capable, and trusted frontier models, we can shorten research timelines, improve outcomes, and discover medicines and treatments that significantly improve human life," Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said Wednesday.Amodei was among the leading AI executives that recently warned of increasing safety risks from the technology and urged the industry to advance AI model capabilities at a more measured pace.Earlier this year, Anthropic and OpenAI confidentially filed for their respectively potential initial public offerings in the US.Price: $41.68, Change: $-0.85, Percent Change: -2.00%

Amazon's AWS Unable to Restore Services in UAE, Bahrain Zones Six Months After Drone Strikes

Amazon.com's (AMZN) Amazon Web Services said it could not restore access to cloud-computing infrastructure in certain zones in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain more than six months after drone strikes hit the facilities during the early days of the US-Iran conflict.Damage at several facilities in Bahrain surpassed built-in resilience thresholds, according to an update Tuesday on AWS' health dashboard."The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple availability zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-(availability zones) services are designed to withstand," AWS said."After a thorough assessment, we have determined that we are unable to restore access to the resources and data hosted exclusively in this region."In a separate update, the company said it is still working to restore two affected data-hosting zones in the UAE and was unable to retrieve resources and data stored in a separate zone.Drone strikes directly hit two data centers in the UAE in March, while a strike near the company's facilities in Bahrain damaged its infrastructure, AWS added. The strikes resulted in structural damage, disrupted power delivery and led to water damage from fire suppression activities.The cloud-computing company said it will provide further updates on the UAE facilities "in the coming months" and on the Bahrain region in early 2027.Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps took responsibility for the attacks, citing Amazon's alleged military support for the US as its reason for the strike on Bahrain infrastructure, according to a CNBC report.The attacks raise concerns regarding the security of future data center development in the region. In May 2025, G42, OpenAI, Oracle (ORCL), Nvidia (NVDA), SoftBank Group and Cisco (CSCO) agreed to build Stargate UAE, a 5-gigawatt AI campus spanning 10 square miles in Abu Dhabi.The UAE is reviewing options to disperse the facilities and make them more secure by building them underground with blast-resistant concrete as well as drone and missile interceptors, Reuters reported last week, citing people familiar with the matter.In late July, Amazon reported second-quarter results ahead of Wall Street's views amid cloud-computing business strength and lifted its capital expenditure guidance.Amazon shares were down 0.5% in Wednesday trading and have gained 7% this year.Price: $246.97, Change: $-1.45, Percent Change: -0.59%

Palantir Sees Strong AI Demand, Wider Enterprise Use Cases, UBS Says

Palantir Technologies' (PLTR) software demand is running ahead of the company's ability to meet it, with customers expanding their use of the platform for operational decision-making and AI model fine-tuning, UBS Securities said Monday in a report.Conversations at a Palantir customer event reinforced the view of the company as a leading enabler of practical enterprise AI adoption, with executives arguing that large language models still lack the precision to work reliably with existing corporate systems, the report said.UBS also highlighted a deepening relationship between Palantir and Nvidia (NVDA), noting that Nvidia is using Palantir to optimize its chip supply chain. Palantir executives pushed back on concerns that improving LLMs could substitute for its platform or that the upcoming US midterm elections pose political risk, the report said.UBS raised its price target on Palantir stock to $250 from $220 and maintained its buy rating.Palantir shares rose 1.3% in Tuesday trading, and Nvidia gained 0.3%.Price: $175.68, Change: $+2.37, Percent Change: +1.37%

Salesforce Broadens Alliances With Nvidia, Google Cloud, AWS for Enterprise AI Integration

Salesforce (CRM) is expanding its partnerships with Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google Cloud, and Amazon.com's (AMZN) Amazon Web Services to strengthen its agentic enterprise capabilities and expand its artificial intelligence footprint across third-party infrastructure.The company on Tuesday annouced its AI model Koa, built by post-training Nvidia's Nemotron 3 Super with a proprietary dataset modeled from nearly three decades of deployments. Koa uses Salesforce's proprietary synthetic customer relationship management data set and Nvidia's alignment software stack.The companies said Salesforce will control the fine-tuned model weights and host both post-training and live inference within its own infrastructure boundary, preventing customer data from being transferred to external AI provider endpoints or crossing security zones.Under the partnership, Nvidia will also integrate open models and accelerated compute into the Missionforce suite to enable government and regulated entities to train, tune, and deploy agents on private clouds, classified networks, and air-gapped systems.Separately, Salesforce's Hyperforce platform will run natively on Google Cloud's infrastructure as both companies integrate their AI ecosystems, allowing for Salesforce capabilities within Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models inside Agentforce.Salesforce will begin migration of US customers to Hyperforce Cloud in the fourth quarter, according to Google Cloud.Partnership with Amazon Web Services will enable Salesforce to bring its business context data directly to the AI assistant Amazon Quick, embed AWS frontier agents for DevOps, security, and sales partners into the Slack platform, and give Agentforce customers access to Amazon Bedrock's models.Earlier in September, Truist Securities said that Salesforce rebuilt its AI strategy around four foundational layers -- trust, action, agency, and interface -- to power its vision for the agentic enterprise. "We believe the architecture reinforces Salesforce's broader strategy to own the trusted context and action layer of the enterprise while allowing customers flexibility around the models, agents, and interfaces they use," the investment firm said.Shares of Salesforce, Amazon and Alphabet were down 1% to 2% in Tuesday trading, while Nvidia was 0.4% higher.Price: $256.58, Change: $-2.85, Percent Change: -1.10%
