IBM JUST TOLD WALL STREET IT’S READY TO SCALE QUANTUM.
HERE’S EVERYTHING THEY SAID
$IBM reported earnings today, and Arvind Krishna spent part of the call on quantum. The biggest line was workloads that cost about $100 to run on IBM “could cost up to $10 million on slower competitive modalities.”
IBM signed 16 enterprise quantum engagements this year, including AT&T and General Motors, across automotive, aerospace, telecom, finance and manufacturing.
Its newest processor, Nighthawk R2, runs 7,500 gates, executes 100,000 circuits per second, and is up to 19x faster than the last generation.
IBM connected its first modular cryogenic systems, the step toward linking machines into one big computer, and is building a 300,000-square-foot quantum manufacturing facility in Poughkeepsie.
It’s in the final stage of DARPA’s quantum benchmarking program, and it closed a $1 billion Commerce Department award to manufacture quantum chips.
The full update comes at IBM’s Quantum Day on December 10.
Three months ago Krishna said quantum would hit IBM’s income statement by 2028. Tonight he named customers.

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale.
He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt.
Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world.
At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.
We can’t afford to not understand what the intelligence builds. I agree there will a gap when breakthroughs are made but we can not afford to give up understanding for complacency with the automation. Otherwise we will find our selves in a situation where the intelligence breaks and nobody understands what it built or how to fix it.
Brilliant intuition; i believe in many ways this is the way forward. Decentralized compute, swarm intelligence, as the next step I’m open source for-the-people-powered-by-the-people’s-hardware, with kickbacks in the form of crypto based on the compute shared (look at Bitcoin for an example of how to solve tokenized compute).
I need more vram to move forward with my setup to build something like this. Maybe someone else will beat me to it.

🚨🚨 Billionaire cancer doctor Patrick Soon-Shiong told Tucker Carlson that nearly every oncologist ignores the one number in your blood test that kills cancer:
“Pick up the phone, call any random oncologist—not to shame them—and say: ‘You do a blood count, right?’ A complete blood count. You take blood and check if you’re anemic or not.”
“And you give chemotherapy and radiation, and you ask: ‘What are you looking for?’ Well, we look to see if you’re anemic, so we can give you this drug made by Amgen called Epogen. We look to see if your platelets have dropped, so we can give you a platelet transfusion. We look to see if your neutrophils have dropped so you don’t get an infection, so we give you Neupogen.”
“Well, the problem is, do red blood cells kill cancer? No. Do platelets kill cancer? No. Do neutrophils kill cancer? No.”
“What kills cancer? Natural killer cells and T cells. So in that blood count, there’s one thing called lymphocytes. Do you look at that? No.”
“The only cell that’s important, that kills cancer, and 99.9% of oncologists will say: ‘We don’t pay any attention to that.’”
Even Tucker couldn’t believe it: “Why, if you’re fighting cancer, would you ignore the one cell that fights cancer?”
“That’s the missing link. That’s the key element in your body.”
From the very beginning of this journey, I have been on a mission to rescue our nation from a failed and corrupt political establishment.
I will NEVER QUIT, I will NEVER BEND, I will NEVER BREAK, and I will NEVER YIELD, not even in the face of death itself!

ATF Releases NFA guidance in response to the Texas NFA lawsuit:
"Effective October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the litigation."
