Ukraine Rebuilding Even as Russian Aggression Continues

Meta Platforms gave a disappointing current-quarter revenue forecast, intensifying investor concerns about the company’s unprecedented spending on artificial intelligence.
The social media giant said third-quarter revenue will be $61 billion to $64 billion, with the midline of that range below the average analyst estimate of $63.2 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Meta relies on its advertising business to finance its expensive bets on AI products and infrastructure, including data centers and AI-powered glasses.

Investors have questioned how Meta will ultimately recoup its AI investments, and balked earlier this year when Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg increased projected spending to as much as $145 billion. Meta on Wednesday narrowed its full-year capital expenditure forecast to $130 billion to $145 billion, slightly lifting the bottom end from a previous projection of $125 billion to $145 billion.

Chinese startup Moonshot AI is seeking access to more of Nvidia Corp.’s advanced Blackwell chips to train the next version of its model, Kimi K4, The Information reported, citing sources it didn’t name. The Beijing-based artificial intelligence firm trained its earlier model, Kimi K3, using Nvidia chips, Bloomberg previously reported, even though US export controls restrict the sale of advanced chips to China over security concerns.

The development is likely to exacerbate transatlantic angst about Chinese AI models closing the gap with OpenAI and Anthropic PBC. When Moonshot originally announced its Kimi K3 model, which was released publicly on Monday, that triggered a selloff in AI-related stocks.
Much like DeepSeek’s release in early 2025, the K3 debut was taken as evidence that Chinese companies can keep pace on a smaller budget and with fewer cutting-edge resources than rivals with full access to Nvidia AI accelerators.
