From our news pipeline · real stories
Every item says what is known and what is not. "Widely reported" means many outlets carry it; it is not the same as confirmed. Each item links to its outlet.
OpenAI reportedly seeks $30B at a $1.4T valuation.
In plain words: a company is reportedly asking investors for $30 billion. Not final until the company says so.
Widely reported · 6 outlets Source: TechCrunch (opens in a new tab)
Anthropic reportedly targets a mid-November IPO.
In plain words: the company may sell shares to the public for the first time. Dates in reports can move.
Widely reported · 9 outlets Source: Bloomberg HT (opens in a new tab)
Tencent reportedly leases 100,000 AI chips from Oracle for $7B.
In plain words: a rental of computing power, not a purchase of a company.

Larkspur Systems buys Tidewell Data for $210 million in cash and stock.
Invented for illustration. Not a real deal and not a recommendation.
Who it is for
Know who raised in your space and at what size before you walk into the room. Know who just got bought, and who might want to buy next.
See the week's rounds, exits and rumours in one place, each with its source and its label. News for your own research, never a tip.
Your vendor was acquired. Your competitor raised. Read what changed for your team in a minute, then get on with your day.

Superintelligence (SI) is the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). In late September 2026 a US executive order (14355) told federal agencies to say "Super Intelligence" in place of "AI". It is a new name, not a claim that machines now outthink people.
