Qualcomm: AI Hype Subsides, When Will Smartphones Emerge from the Gloom?

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2026 results (ending June 2026), with revenue of $9.95B, down 4% YoY but above expectations. Gross margin declined to 53.1%, pressured by rising costs across manufacturing and memory. Key business segments showed mixed performance: Handset revenue fell 19.6% YoY to $5.09B, dragged by an 11% decline in non-Apple Android shipments and weaker high-end mix. Conversely, Automotive revenue surged 61% to $1.59B, and IoT grew 9% to $1.83B. Core operating profit dropped 41% YoY due to margin compression and higher expenses. Management's Q4 FY2026 guidance projects revenue of $9.7B-$10.5B, in line with consensus, but Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-$2.25 fell short of expectations. Amidst persistent weakness in its core handset market, Qualcomm is pursuing growth in AI, focusing on Edge AI (smartphones, PCs, automotive) and Data Center AI. Its data center strategy includes four pillars: AI accelerators (e.g., AI200), commercial CPUs (Dragonfly C1000), custom silicon, and connectivity solutions. While these initiatives initially boosted its stock, concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability have since erased those gains. The company targets $5B in data center revenue for FY2027 and $15B for FY2029. The report concludes that with the traditional handset business still under pressure, the data center opportunity is currently viewed as a longer-term option, and a more conservative valuation based on core operations may be warranted until AI contributions materialize.

From TPU to Self-Evolving Agents: How Jeff Dean Predicts the Next Step in AI

At the 2026 YC Startup School, Jeff Dean outlined his vision for AI's next phase, shifting focus from simply scaling models to building intelligent, autonomous systems. He believes AI's progress is no longer just about creating smarter models, but about integrating them into systems capable of long-term, iterative work, automated experimentation, and continuous learning. This evolution moves the competition from "who has the bigger model" to "who can best organize intelligence." Dean suggests AI capabilities are now comparable to a junior engineer, enabling the automation of complex workflows. However, the true challenge and opportunity lie in managing these AI "workers" at scale. He emphasizes the importance of **context engineering**—structuring tools, memory, and feedback loops—over raw model power. For startups, this means building deep expertise in niche domains where general models currently fail (near 0-1% success rates), leveraging proprietary data, specialized tools, and domain-specific evaluators. A recurring theme is re-examining fundamental constraints. Dean's past work, like moving Google's search index to memory or creating the TPU, stemmed from questioning outdated assumptions about hardware and cost. He sees similar inflection points today, particularly in **specialized inference hardware** to drastically reduce latency and energy consumption for real-time Agent operation. Notably, he points out that in modern AI systems, the dominant cost is often not computation but **data movement**. Reliable, long-running Agents require robust system design, borrowing concepts from distributed computing like checkpointing, state management, and parallel exploration to handle failures and maintain progress over days or weeks. As AI automates execution, the scarcest human skills will shift to **defining clear specifications**, **judging what problems are worth solving** (taste), and designing effective feedback loops. Ultimately, Dean's framework prioritizes understanding the problem deeply, identifying the true bottlenecks, and systematically building closed-loop systems where AI can not only perform tasks but also improve AI itself.

Coldcard exploit sparks Bitcoin flight, ‘bullish’ crypto consolidation: Hodler’s Digest, August 2

A Coldcard hardware wallet exploit led to estimated losses of 1,367 BTC ($88.6 million), causing a spike in small Bitcoin transfers as users moved funds to centralized exchanges and other custody methods. In U.S. politics, the Clarity Act faces hurdles with time running out for a Senate vote, amid debates over ethics rules and crypto regulation. Major crypto firms like Coinbase reported disappointing Q2 earnings, while an analyst notes the industry is entering a significant consolidation phase, with revenue concentrating in a few dominant protocols like Hyperliquid and Pump.fun. Bitcoin's price decline continued, though some analysts suggest the market may have bottomed. Other news includes Telegram's legal troubles in Russia and Australia, layoffs at Pump.fun ahead of token distributions, and a White House staffer accused of insider betting leaving his post.

LATEST NEWS: Donald Trump makes a sharp statement regarding Iran! He has halted attacks

U.S. President Donald Trump announced he called off planned military strikes against Iran after Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran itself requested a delay. Trump stated the planned operation would have been large-scale and powerful but was suspended to allow time for diplomatic negotiations. He added that regional allies believe an agreement is near, with initial talks focused on security and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations on Iran's nuclear program would follow once that is settled. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital global chokepoint for oil and gas shipments, and conflict there could significantly impact energy prices and world trade. Trump further announced that new talks with Iran will begin tomorrow. Separately, Trump commented on events involving the Japanese yen, stating the U.S. intervened in the market due to good relations with Japan, asserting Washington's consistent support for Tokyo and mutual economic benefits from the relevant rules. *This is not an investment recommendation.

Bank of Italy Finds No Systemic Advantages of Stablecoins in Transfers

A study by the Bank of Italy found that stablecoins do not offer a consistent advantage in cost or speed for cross-border money transfers. The research compared sending 200 USDC in 10 bilateral corridors (Italy to Brazil, Argentina, Japan, UAE, and South Africa) against standard money transfer services. While the final cost of stablecoin transfers ranged from 0.3% to nearly 9%, and were often cheaper than the global average cost of 6.65%, they only outperformed services like Wise in three out of seven comparable corridors. Key costs and delays were attributed to fees for converting to and from fiat currency and the quality of local payment infrastructure, not blockchain fees. Transfer times varied from under 20 minutes in corridors with instant payment systems to one or two business days where such infrastructure was lacking. The authors concluded that stablecoins' benefits would be more significant if they could be spent directly without conversion and noted that overly restrictive regulations complicate retail use without eliminating demand.
