Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Business and Enterprise for the week ending September 4, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: A vertical psychedelic screen-printed gig poster of a stylized bull and bear swirling around a melting upward stock chart that blooms into op-art flowers, with candlestick bars morphing into guitar picks and coins drifting like autumn leaves through an ornate ticker-tape border under a harvest moon, bold hand-lettered 'Business' title in 1960s Fillmore-era script arcing across the top, electric magenta acid orange deep teal and cream palette with lime green accents, flat ink layers with slight registration offset and visible paper texture.
This Week in Business and Enterprise News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
- Nvidia buys Hugging Face: Nvidia announced a $12.9 billion deal to acquire Hugging Face, with Nvidia and Michael Dell both saying it should stay open and neutral. The reaction thread shows how much of the week's business news now runs through Nvidia.
- OpenAI and Cursor split: OpenAI said it is ending its partnership with Cursor after SpaceX acquired it, and Cursor's direct access to OpenAI models would end on November 12. OpenAI also began rolling out GPT-6 Astra to a limited set of organizations first.
- Compute deals keep getting bigger: Figure committed $3.5 billion, with plans to scale past $6 billion, for up to 100,000 Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs through Nscale to train humanoid robots. Together AI announced a 250MW data center with Humain in Saudi Arabia, claiming $5B+ in annualized revenue.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
