The edition also covers Samsung's Galaxy SmartTag3, AST SpaceMobile's Space Force award, and the week's AI data center and device stories. ## From our newsroom ### Anthropic's Lambda compute contract becomes terminable Either party can now terminate the **Anthropic Lambda compute deal** after Lambda failed to secure a facility lease by a contractual deadline. An amended IPO registration statement that Anthropic filed this week covers the August 2026 agreement, which accounts for about $34.9 billion of the roughly $41.3 billion Anthropic has committed to Lambda. Anthropic states it has no present plan to end the contract. Fees under these Nvidia GPU compute agreements apply only once capacity is delivered and accepted, so the lease trigger adds a new exit route alongside the existing breach provisions.

Samsung rates the tracker for up to 550 days of battery life and distance finding up to 60 meters using Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding, about three times the reach of the previous generation. The long-range function works on only four phones at launch: the Galaxy S26 Plus, Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. [See our SmartTag3 report](https://bytevyte.com/galaxy-smarttag3-us-sale/). ### AST SpaceMobile wins a Space Force sensing contract AST SpaceMobile has booked a Space Force contract worth about $100 million in space-based sensing revenue, according to its latest 8-K filing. The award sits under the SB-AMTI program, and AST supports prime contractor STR with its commercially built satellite technology rather than leading the work. Against Q3 revenue of $42.3 million, the award is large for the company.

The San Francisco startup sells AI sales agents that run on a customer's data warehouse and handle lead qualification, account research, meeting booking and outreach preparation, positioning them against Salesforce. Total disclosed funding now stands at $150 million, including the earlier $50 million seed and Series A. Cofounder Ishan Mukherjee has argued that large enterprises are moving customer data out of Salesforce into their own environments, which would weaken the platform's grip on sales workflows. #### GS Group and POSCO sign AI data center MOU According to Korea Times, GS Group and POSCO signed a memorandum of understanding on November 11, 2026, at GS Tower in Seoul. POSCO would supply steel and other materials, while GS applies its construction and facility operation experience to the 2.4-gigawatt Donghae campus in Gangwon Province. The partners aim to shorten build times and cut equipment delivery delays, with earlier operation and lower operating costs as stated goals. The first 1.2 gigawatts is due in phases from 2028 at an expected cost of about 15 trillion won, and no measured results exist yet. The sources do not describe the campus power supply, cooling water use or effects on nearby residents. #### Nvidia chip orders may slow, freeing TSMC capacity According to a TrendForce report of 10 November 2026, citing supply-chain sources in Taiwan's Commercial Times, Nvidia chip orders could slow. The reporting links a possible cut to a probe of CEO Jensen Huang and related security concerns. Any freed TSMC capacity could flow to AMD and custom ASIC designers, with Broadcom, MediaTek, Alchip and GUC named as the best-placed ASIC players. TSMC and ASE would absorb any drop in Nvidia volumes first. The sources give no size or timing for a reduction, so the shift remains a scenario. ### QuickBeats Test #### Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max go global in Paris According to Xiaomi's global announcement page, the Xiaomi 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max will be presented worldwide at a Paris event on November 17, 2026, with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processors. Both models launched in China on September 23, 2026, with 7,000mAh and 8,500mAh batteries in the standard and Pro Max versions. Reports point to smaller batteries and slower charging in some international markets, but Xiaomi has not confirmed those figures. A December Indian launch of the standard Pro is reported but not confirmed by Xiaomi. #### Huawei's MateBook Fold S adds a cover screen Huawei introduced the MateBook Fold S this week in China, a foldable PC with a 14.7-inch main display and a small square panel on its outer lid. The panel, which Huawei calls *Live Mini Display*, stays lit while the device is closed and shows the time, and three cameras beside it sit under the AI Camera label. Huawei says the closed machine is about the size of a book. Pre-orders open in China on November 14, and no price has been published. ## Related Articles - [Anthropic's Lambda Compute Deal Becomes Terminable After Missed Texas Lease](https://bytevyte.com/anthropic-lambda-compute-deal/) - [The Evening Update: Nvidia Weighs Debt Backstop for Anthropic's West Virginia AI Data Center](https://bytevyte.com/nvidia-ai-data-center-west-virginia-2026-11-02/) - [The Daily Brief: Microsoft Drops Oracle AI Cloud Rental Over Aging Nvidia GPUs](https://bytevyte.com/daily-brief-november-7-2026-2026-11-07/) ✔Human Verified --- *Researched and cross-referenced against primary sources by the Bytevyte editorial team.
