Google has officially expanded its AI portfolio with the release of Nano Banana 2 Lite and Gemini Omni Flash.
Nano Banana 2 Lite, technically designated as gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image, is "the company's most cost-efficient Gemini Image model," designed for high-throughput, rapid image generation.
It delivers text-to-image outputs in approximately "four seconds" at a price point of $0.034 per 1,000 images.
Simultaneously, Google launched Gemini Omni Flash, a new multimodal model currently in public preview that specializes in fast, conversational video generation and editing.
Developers can now access Gemini Omni Flash via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, with pricing set at $0.10 per second of video output, the same price as Veo 3.1 Fast.

Google has selected MediaTek over Broadcom and Qualcomm to build its TPUv9, codenamed Triggerfish, per GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu.
Pu sees little overlap between Qualcomm's AI250 and MediaTek, and says Broadcom's rumored 2nm Bladerunner project "hasn't been started" — leaving Broadcom with just one new TPU SKU (Whalefish) in 2028, "suggesting a positioning disadvantage vs. MTK's."
Pu adds that the Street has "underestimated MTK's Triggerfish potential on much higher ASP/content and the large SRAM design, extending MTK's positioning from training (v8t) to inferencing, which is Broadcom's market."
"For v9, we still believe MTK's Humufish is the only SKU in 2nm; that said, we see little chance for its competitor to come out 2nm at that time and believe the speculated Bladerunner (i.e., 2nm) hasn't progressed as a project," he noted.
GF also sees MediaTek as the frontrunner for TPUv10, lifting its MediaTek ASIC revenue estimate for 2028 to $2.3B from $1.5B.

Evercore reiterated Outperform on Amphenol with a $180 price target, calling it "best positioned to capitalize from the AI investment cycle given leading position in both copper and fiber" with "the broadest portfolio stack and customer exposure."
Analysts cite Amphenol’s agile cost structure, M&A strategy, and global scale as drivers of sustained double-digit revenue growth and high-teens EPS growth with limited volatility.

Needham (Buy, $100): "We anticipate a revenue inflection by 2029, driven by the launch of Apollo, the company's first fault-tolerant system," with revenue projected to rocket from $31 million in 2025 to $4.3 billion within five years. Needham's Quinn Bolton said Quantinuum's QCCD architecture "provides a scalable path toward the company's fault-tolerant system, Apollo."
BofA (Buy, $100): "Helios delivers industry-leading commercial performance" and already counts Amgen and BMW as customers using it in the cloud and on-premises. Quantum technology TAM is projected to surge from ~$1.1B in 2025 to ~$80B by 2035, "with quantum compute representing the largest long-term opportunity."
J.P. Morgan (Overweight, $97): Cites the team's 10+ years of trapped-ion expertise dating to Honeywell, three system generations shipped in six years, and a diversified commercial pipeline exceeding $5 billion spanning financial services, automotive, telecom, sovereign and US government work.
Also initiating Monday: Jefferies (Buy, $90), UBS (Buy, $93), Evercore ISI (Outperform, $98), Mizuho (Outperform, $90), Cantor Fitzgerald (Overweight, $90), Craig-Hallum (Buy, $100), and Rosenblatt — the most bullish on the Street at Buy, $155.
Morgan Stanley was the lone skeptic (Equal Weight, $78).
Technology context: Quantinuum uses trapped-ion computing, shared with IonQ. Rivals use superconducting circuits (IBM, Google), quantum annealing (D-Wave), neutral atoms (Infleqtion), topological qubits (Microsoft), and quantum dots (Intel).

President Lee Jae Myung unveiled $576B+ in mega-projects spanning chips, AI and robotics, anchored by a new southwest semiconductor hub.
"Semiconductors, physical AI, and AI data centres are the triple axis for our great leap forward," Lee said.
Samsung and SK Hynix will invest 800 trillion won (~$518B) with suppliers to build two new fabs each in the southwest, doubling DRAM output within five years.
LG Electronics, HD Hyundai Robotics, and Korea's power/water utilities also participated.

Uber and Waymo have ended their three-year Phoenix robotaxi pilot, both confirmed to TechCrunch Monday — though the split quietly happened back in May, with riders noticing before either company said anything.
Uber says it was simply the contracted end date.
Just over a dozen vehicles ran the Phoenix pilot, and lessons from it helped Uber scale faster in Austin and Atlanta, where hundreds of Waymo vehicles remain exclusively on Uber's app.
Waymo has folded the Phoenix vehicles back into its own fleet.
Uber is already lining up a different AV partner for Phoenix, though it hasn't named one yet.

Wedbush initiated coverage of Infleqtion with an Outperform rating, calling it the only publicly traded pure-play neutral atom quantum computing stock — and meaningfully mispriced.
Analysts Antoine Legault and Matt Bryson wrote: "Assuming we are correct in our view that neutral atoms are a viable modality, we see INFQ as meaningfully mispriced: it carries the second-largest revenue base in the public quantum group yet ranks sixth in valuation, a steep discount to several peers that command market values many times INFQ's despite more modest revenue expectations."
The disconnect, per Wedbush, stems from neutral atoms being less proven than trapped-ion and superconducting approaches, and from investors incorrectly viewing Infleqtion as a sensing-only company rather than a full-stack quantum platform.
On its partnership roster, Legault noted: "The roster is anchored by a deep NVDA relationship (NVQLink, CUDA-Q, both Ising models) and extends to Safran, NASA, Voyager, and DARPA. We expect additional marquee logos, with each acting as a potential catalyst."

Jefferies upgraded FuelCell Energy to Buy with a $24 price target (from $16) after the company's first contracted data center power order — a 380 MW deal with Fit Energy anchored by an initial 30 MW firm deployment with an immediate non-refundable deposit.
Analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith said the deal "shifts the investment thesis from speculative to executable on visible backlog," implying ~$90M in near-term revenue at ~$3K/kW pre-ITC.
He added that FCEL trades at ~8x estimated 2030 EV/EBITDA versus Bloom Energy's 19x, letting investors "own a player set to capture meaningful data center market share at a fraction of peer valuations."
FuelCell's 5 GW pipeline and 500 MW Torrington facility expansion underpin further upside.

NHTSA has proposed removing the federal requirement for manual brake pedals in vehicles designed exclusively for autonomous operation — the fifth update to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards under the Trump administration's AV Framework.
Braking performance standards, including strict stopping distance requirements, are preserved. Conventional vehicles and AVs that retain human controls are unaffected.
The rule directly benefits Tesla, whose pedal-free Cybercab robotaxi has never applied for an FMVSS exemption, and Amazon's Zoox, which is seeking to deploy up to 2,500 steering-wheel-free robotaxis.
GM previously scrapped its Origin AV in 2024 due in part to regulatory uncertainty around missing manual controls.
The public has 30 days to comment. NHTSA also withdrew a Biden-era voluntary AV oversight framework on the same day.
