科技新报 · 🔥 0 - AI and semiconductor stocks plunge after US midterm election
US AI, semiconductor and data-center stocks sold off sharply on November 5, 2026, reversing gains from the day after the midterm election. The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.5% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index about 12%. Nvidia dropped roughly 9%, while AMD and Micron fell more than 17%. Investors weighed tighter scrutiny of data-center permits and resource use, higher financing costs and uncertain returns on AI infrastructure spending. Cited analysts said the decline did not establish that the AI bubble had burst or that demand had entered a systemic decline.
IT之家 AI · 🔥 5 - Caterpillar earnings beat expectations as AI power demand lifts sales
Caterpillar reported quarterly earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations, with demand for power-generation equipment continuing to drive sales. Bloomberg said its power and energy segment has become the company's largest business by sales, attributing the growth partly to infrastructure demand from technology companies supporting AI electricity consumption.

科技新报 · 🔥 0 - Caterpillar and CoreWeave team up to shorten physical AI learning loops
Speaking at CoreWeave's Fully Connected event, Brandon Hootman, Caterpillar's VP of physical AI platforms and construction autonomy, and Richard Ahlfeld, CoreWeave's SVP of physical AI, described their collaboration on autonomous construction equipment. Caterpillar's digital ecosystem already holds about 18 petabytes of federated data from machines, dealers and customers, while a single machine can generate terabytes of lidar, camera, control and performance data in a day. Working with Nvidia, the partners use AI models to annotate and label incoming field data, cutting work that used to take weeks or months down to hours so the simulation and training loop closes within a workday. CoreWeave named Caterpillar among its enterprise customers in its second-quarter results and launched a Physical AI Field Engineering service in September.
