Research coverage and method

Used 28 searches/page lookups: 16 search queries and 12 page opens. Searched AI research/lab releases, compute/chips/datacenter infrastructure, venture funding, and acquisitions/database infrastructure. Retained five events supported by opened primary text pages. Hyperbolic supplies both funding and compute-builder coverage; no separate chip or datacenter event was retained. Intel/Oracle and AMD/Meta announcements were opened but omitted because the available relationship vocabulary did not cleanly represent their announced engineering collaborations. Axiom's discovery lead was excluded because its original announcement is dated October 26. Walden Catalyst's opened portfolio page omitted the Hyperbolic item displayed in search results; Hyperbolic's dated original announcement independently verified the round. Two original arXiv abstracts were opened; retained the disclosure audit with its author byline. Coverage is selective, not exhaustive, especially for October 30: no event dated October 30 was verified. Acquisition agreements remain announced, with no inferred closing dates. Existing supplied events were excluded.

Primary source passages verified against independently fetched pages. Automated interpretations remain labeled for review; name-only merges are withheld.

5 unresolved items withheld from this edition. Current article activity uses each corpus’s fixed news basis; historical people profiles keep their training watermark. Missing measurements stay missing.
