In my recap of Nvidia's Computex launches, there were a few big names supporting Vera CPUs missing. Nvidia said:

"Global AI labs planning to adopt Vera to transform their AI factories include Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceXAI, and hyperscalers ByteDance, CoreWeave and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure."

Hmm. Where's Google Cloud, AWS and Microsoft Azure? The latter will come at Microsfot Build most likely.

All the hyperscalers will support Vera just like they do every other CPU, but the reality is they have their own custom silicon. Also worth noting that Nvidia compared Vera CPUs to x86 options. How does it compare to Arm-based options?

Asana said it will acquire StackAI, a no-code AI workflow platform that connects ERP, CRM and ITSM systems to automate processes. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

UiPath's first quarter featured its first ever net profit and revenue growth of 17%.

The company reported first quarter net income of $22.52 million, or 4 cents a share, on revenue of $418.4 million, up 17%. Non-GAAP earnings were 15 cents a share, a penny short of estimates. Revenue topped estimates.

The second quarter and fiscal 2027 revenue outlook was above estimates. UiPath is targeting fiscal 2027 revenue of $1.776 billion to $1.781 billion.

UiPath's earnings call takeways were:

• A six month old FDE program is faring well.
• UiPath cited multiple customer and use case examples.
• Analysts were generally neutral to slightly skeptical and were concerned that ARR growth trailed revenue growth. Concerns revolved around AI revenue vs core robotics process automation.

CEO Daniel Dines said:

"Customers are no longer asking us simply to deploy more agents or generate more code. They are asking us to transform our entire business functions operate through end-to-end workflows that span departments, connect systems and deliver measurable operational outcomes. And delivering that kind of transformation requires more than individual AI agents. It requires a platform that can orchestrate agents, automation, APIs, systems and people together within secure, governed enterprise workflows."

Elastic reported a strong fourth quarter with non-GAAP earnings of 61 cents a share, a nickel a share above estimates, on revenue of $450.7 million, up 16%. The company said first quarter revenue will be between $469 million and $470 million with non-GAAP earnings of 57 cents a share to 59 cents a share.

The first quarter outlook was mixed relative to estimates. The fiscal year view is revenue of $1.98 billion and $2 billion, up 14.6% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings are expected to be between $3.21 a share and $3.29 a share, well above the $2.84 a share estimate.

CEO Ashutosh Kulkarni said:

"The broader AI cycle is actively driving our growth. Customers rely on us not only as a context platform for AI, but to modernize their operations with our AI-driven SOC and SRE for security and observability, respectively. Our customers using our AI solutions continue to grow. We now have over 600 customers with an ACV of over $100,000 or greater using our AI capabilities. This includes more than 40 serverless customers who were previously not captured in this count. Cumulatively, AI use cases have now penetrated more than 1/3 of our $100,000 ACV customer cohort. We see demand ranging from the largest global organizations to AI-native companies.

We believe the adoption of AI will be universal, spanning across organizations of every scale. This represents a fundamental market evolution that provides a consistent tailwind for our growth over the long term. The software stack is being rewritten. Large language models are emerging as the new operating system, and agentic automation is becoming the prerequisite for every mission-critical business process."

Will you pay to rid yourself of the AI slop on Meta? Maybe.

The company plans on selling subscriptions to its chatbot under a $7.99 per month plan called Meta One Plus, which will enable you to generate images and video and use extended reasoning. Meta One Plus will go for $19.99 a month with more functionality.

Meta is also testing subscriptions for WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook with tiers focused on businesses as well as creators. Price points range from $2.99 to $49.99. The highest prices would go for Meta One Essential and Meta One Advanced.

Needless to say this subscription effort raised a lot of discussion among the tech chattering class, but the reality is Meta has to monetize that AI capex somehow. The big question is whether you'll bite.

Nutanix's third quarter results handily topped estimates. The company delivered fiscal third quarter earnings of $72.09 million, or 27 cents a share, on revenue of $703.07 million. Non-GAAP earnings of 47 cents a share topped estimates by 12 cents a share.

For the fourth quarter, Nutanix is projecting revenue of $725 million to $745 million, which was ahead of estimates. We'll follow this earnings report in the days ahead.

HP reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings with earnings of 49 cents a share on revenue of $14.4 billion, up 9% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings were 86 cents a share. Consumer and commercial PC sales delivered double-digit growth.

AWS has been talking a lot about Trainium, but don't forget its CPU offering and Graviton. Snowflake just said it will spend $6 billion on AWS with a big chunk of that sum allocated to compute.

Nutanix said Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.7 is available and includes the Nutanix Agent Gateway, which is focused on controlling agent costs and governance. Nutanix Agent Gateway is a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint to govern cloud provider models as well as local models. It can deploy on any CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution.

Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.7 includes:

• A unified control plane to wrangle API key sprawl and model downtime.
• Credential management.
• Limits for token consumption at the org and individual user levels.
• Observability dashboard.
• MCP server support for agentic workflows.

3D printing company Stratasys said it acquired MarkForged, a subsidiary of Nano Dimension, in a deal valued at $42.5 million. MarkForged had $70 million in 2025 revenue. Stratasys said the purchase will give it a broad 3D printing software platform and Fused Filament Fabrication technology.

Stratasys is one of the larger companies in the 3D printing space, which hasn't taken off despite efforts to bring manufacturing back to the US. Stratasys recently reported a first quarter net loss of $23.8 million on revenue of $132.7 million.

Box reported better-than-expected first quarter results. The company reported first quarter earnings of 8 cents a share on revenue of $306 million, up 11% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings were 37 cents a share.

The non-GAAP earnings topped estimates by a penny a share.

For the second quarter, Box projected revenue of $319 million, up 9% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings will be 39 cents a share. For fiscal 2027, Box projected revenue of $1.28 billion, up 9% from a year ago. Non-GAAP earnings will be about $1.56 a share.

CVS's Aetna unit said its second generation Aetna Claims Assist Manager, an agentic AI claims advisor platform, has cut processing time by more than 20% for complex claims. The Aetna AI agent pulls together eligibility, coverage and data to resolve claims and recommend next-best actions.

The AI agent is part of CVS Health's AI-driven transformation.
