Good morning. Today the AI build out gets another multibillion dollar handshake, Apple opens orders on its newest Macs, and a Canadian astronaut prepares for his first walk in space.

Nvidia invests 3 billion dollars in Meta as the two deepen their AI partnership. Nvidia will take a stake in Meta’s equity offering while Meta expands its use of Nvidia Vera Rubin systems, Vera CPUs, Spectrum-X networking and BlueField-4 technology to train and run its Muse family of models and its next generation of agents. Why it matters: the biggest chip maker is now also a shareholder in one of its biggest customers, a sign of how tightly capital and computing power are now bound together in the race to build useful agents.

Apple opens preorders today for its new M6 MacBook Pro and iMac. The 14 inch MacBook Pro starts at 1,999 dollars and the 24 inch iMac at 1,499 dollars, with both arriving on November 6. Apple says the M6 brings up to 30 percent faster graphics and up to 25 percent faster on device AI work in the laptop, plus Wi-Fi 7 across both machines, and its Pro and Tell event follows later today in Los Angeles. Why it matters: Apple is putting faster local AI into the machines most of us actually buy, at unchanged prices, which moves serious model work from the cloud onto the desk.

Google DeepMind unveils Genie 4, a world model you can talk to and steer while it runs. Genie 4 generates explorable, photorealistic worlds in real time from a text prompt or an image, now with native sound, music and dialogue generated alongside the scene, live steering through plain language prompts, and scenes that hold together for about two minutes, double the limit of Genie 3. It is rolling out as a research preview for trusted testers, then to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie. Why it matters: world models move AI from generating clips to simulating places, a training ground for robots and agents and a new canvas for interactive stories.

Oracle and Nvidia scale their cloud partnership to multi gigawatt size. Vera Rubin NVL72 systems and Vera CPUs are now generally available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, with multi gigawatt superclusters planned, while Oracle also adds chips from Google and Cerebras to its cloud. Why it matters: the clouds are racing to offer every serious chip rather than just one, and customers who can pick the right hardware for each job will move faster for less.

Tomorrow brings U.S. spacewalk 100 at the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, on his first spacewalk, will install the seventh of the station’s roll out solar arrays, with the eighth and final array to follow on November 5. Together the arrays lift station power from about 160 kilowatts to about 215 kilowatts. Why it matters: a milestone outing that completes a power upgrade years in the making, and gives the station the energy it needs for its final years of work.

A world first pregnancy testing program in South Australia could prevent hundreds of premature births. The free omega-3 testing program has already reached more than 45,000 women and identifies those with low omega-3 levels, where supplementation has been shown to cut the risk of early premature birth by 77 percent. A new grant of 1.4 million Australian dollars will study a national rollout that researchers estimate could prevent around 640 early premature births a year. Why it matters: a simple test and a well timed supplement, scaled nationally, could spare hundreds of families the hardest possible start.

That is the morning edit. We will be back tomorrow with the stories shaping tech and culture.
