- Jake Silverman, Bloomberg Intelligence Semiconductor Analyst, recaps Micron earnings. Micron Technology Inc. gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter, fueled by the AI building frenzy, though the chipmaker warned that rising compensation would weigh on profit margins. Revenue will be about $61.5 billion in the fiscal first quarter, and excluding some items, profit will be about $38.15 a share. The company's gross margins will tighten slightly in the current period due in part to increased worker pay, with the adjusted gross margin expected to narrow to 86.3% in the current quarter.

-Sarah Frier, Bloomberg Managing Editor for Technology Coverage, discusses Chipmaker Broadcom agreeing to lend Anthropic as much as $42 billion to lease its chips. The agreement would let Broadcom pick a financing partner and convert the debt instruments into Anthropic shares, according to Reuters. Anthropic has committed to spending more than half a trillion dollars on cloud, computing and infrastructure in the coming years, and its IPO could value the AI company at about $2 trillion.

-Ryan Vlastelica, Bloomberg Equities Reporter, discusses Microsoft. Microsoft Corp.'s shares jumped 37.5% from July through September, their best quarterly showing since 1998, adding $1 trillion to the company's market capitalization. The company's earnings in late July showed the fastest cloud growth in four years from strong AI demand, easing concerns about whether Microsoft's heavy AI investments would lead to better growth.

-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, discusses Netflix. Ted Sarandos, co-chief executive officer at Netflix Inc., said the US streaming giant isn’t growing as quickly as he would like. Netflix is expanding beyond its core business of films and TV series, with about 5% of its content budget going toward live programming.

-Matthew Bloxham, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media and Tech Analyst, discusses Apple planning to make its push into the smart-home market on Oct. 13, with a smart-home hub code-named J490 at the center of the strategy. The company also plans to announce the first update to the HomePod mini since its 2020 debut and its first new TV set-top box since 2022, which will serve as a showcase for Apple's new Siri AI assistant.

-Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Anchor, discusses his interview with OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman. Altman said the company wants to navigate a period of heightened artificial intelligence safety concerns without the pressure of being a newly public company. He said the company is "adjusting" to a "new level" of AI capability and the added safety requirements that coincide with it. OpenAI is holding discussions about a new funding round to raise at least $30 billion from investors at a valuation of around $1.4 trillion.

-Stephen Flynn, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Credit Analyst, discusses the latest at Paramount-Skydance. Paramount Skydance Corp. is selling debt to fund its Warner Bros. Discovery buyout, but delays have increased the cost of borrowing due to growing fears about global inflation. The company will have more than $87 billion of investment-grade and high-yield debt after the buyout and needs to generate enough earnings and cost savings to pay down its obligations.

-Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion Contributor, discusses his column: “We Are In an Era of Warped Entrepreneurship.” A New York Times investigation found that DraftKings Inc. built a machine-learning model that scored customers by how much they would lose for each free bet or bonus they received. The model raised concerns that the company was targeting problem gamblers, with a data analyst saying "the best investment would be a problem gambler" due to financial logic.

-Anthony Hughes, Bloomberg US Equity Capital Markets Reporter, discusses Oura delaying a US initial public offering, citing uncertainty in the market for first-time share sales. The wearable technology startup and its backers were looking to raise as much as $2.2 billion in the IPO, which had drawn about four times as many orders as there were shares available.

-Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Anchor, discusses OpenAI holding back a version of its Astra model while it establishes stronger safeguards for artificial intelligence development, due to heightened risks after recent rogue AI hacking incidents. The company's head of safety systems, Saachi Jain, said the in-development GPT-6.1 Astra model wasn't as good as the company wanted in terms of "staying within scope and authorization" and communicating with users.

-Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst on US Media, discusses the latest on Former Walt Disney CEO Bob Chapek. Chapek talked about his new book detailing his time at Disney. He also discussed former CEO Bob's Iger succession planning and Josh D'Amaro talking the helm. Chapek is currently building a new career in private equity after being fired as CEO of Walt Disney Co. four years ago.

-Theo Baker, Author of "How to Rule the World: An Education in Power at Stanford University" & Janet Lorin, Bloomberg News Higher Education Reporter, discuss Theo’s new book. Seventeen-year-old Theo Baker showed up for freshman year at Stanford University as a tech-obsessed coder. It seemed like paradise. There were Rodin sculptures next to nuclear laboratories and inventors lounging with Olympians. But Baker soon discovered a culture that embraced corner-cutting, that vested infinite excess and access in the hands of kids with few safeguards to catch bad behavior. Stanford, he realized, was less a school than a business. Its annual budget was nearly twice that of Harvard or Yale and higher than those of 116 countries.
