November 6, 2025 · 24-Hour AI Briefing: AppLovin’s Explosive Growth, Qualcomm’s AI Push, Tesla’s Roadster Revival, and NVIDIA’s BioNeMo for Biotech
In the past 24 hours, the AI and tech landscape has seen fresh waves of disruption — from AppLovin’s record-breaking quarter and Qualcomm’s AI expansion, to Tesla’s bold revival of the Roadster and NVIDIA’s latest move into biotech. Here’s what you need to know:
1. AppLovin’s Q3 Revenue Surges 68.9%, AI Advertising Platform Shines
AppLovin reported $1.41 billion in Q3 revenue, up 68.9% year-over-year, beating estimates by $70 million. Net income reached $835.5 million, or $2.45 per share. Both operating and free cash flow came in at $1.05 billion.
For Q4, the company expects revenue between $1.57–$1.6 billion, above prior forecasts.
Comment:
AppLovin’s growth is driven by its AI-powered ad optimization platform AXON, fueling both its mobile ad and gaming businesses. The company’s $1.05B free cash flow highlights an exceptionally healthy operational model.
AppLovin may now be the fastest-growing player in AI-driven advertising — the real question is how Google and Meta will respond.
2. Qualcomm Q4 Revenue Hits $11.27B, AI and Auto Chips Drive Momentum
Qualcomm announced Q4 FY2025 revenue of $11.27 billion, up 10% year-over-year and beating analyst expectations of $10.79 billion. The company recorded a GAAP net loss of $3.12 billion due to a one-time U.S. tax reform charge of $5.7 billion.
By segment: smartphone chips generated $6.96B (+14%), automotive chips $1.05B (+17%), IoT $1.81B (+7%), while licensing dropped 7% to $1.41B.
Comment:
Qualcomm continues to show resilience in mobile and automotive chips, two pillars of its diversification strategy. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 platform, AI PC partnerships, and automotive AI platforms in motion, Qualcomm’s AI transformation is accelerating.
However, the company faces immense pressure from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. Its success depends on whether it can truly evolve from a “mobile chip giant” into a “universal intelligence powerhouse.”
3. Tesla Revives Its Roadster Project, Aiming for 2025 Production
Tesla confirmed it has restarted development of the Roadster electric supercar, with production targeted for summer 2025. Mass rollout, however, could still take another 2–3 years.
Comment:
The Roadster revival is more of a strategic statement than a short-term financial play. As Cybertruck production stabilizes, Musk appears intent on reigniting excitement and brand prestige.
If it hits the market, the new Roadster could redefine supercar performance — and serve as a testbed for Tesla’s AI-driven architecture. The question remains: can it move beyond hype and become a scalable innovation platform?
4. NVIDIA Launches BioNeMo Recipes, Expanding Into AI-Powered Biotech
NVIDIA introduced BioNeMo Recipes, a toolkit designed to simplify large-scale biological model training using PyTorch — aimed at accelerating drug discovery while reducing costs and development cycles.
Comment:
BioNeMo Recipes marks NVIDIA’s official entry into AI + biotechnology. By allowing researchers to skip complex distributed training setups, NVIDIA is extending its GPU ecosystem into life sciences — potentially replicating its dominance in generative AI.
With this move, NVIDIA isn’t just expanding into a new field; it’s reinforcing its role as the backbone of industrialized AI. The next question: which frontier will NVIDIA conquer next — energy, materials, or quantum computing?
