BigBear.ai Stock Plummets on Uncertainty About Government Contracts
BigBear.ai lowered its revenue guidance and withdrew its adjusted EBITDA outlook on government contract uncertainty.
The artificial intelligence data analytics company said it would be affected by changes in the Army's data architecture.
BigBear.ai posted a bigger loss and lower revenue than expected in the second quarter.BigBear.ai (BBAI) shares lost a quarter of their value Tuesday, a day after the artificial intelligence data analytics firm slashed its revenue outlook and withdrew its profit forecast on uncertainty about government contracts.
The company now anticipates full-year revenue in the range of $125 million to $140 million, down from its earlier estimate of $160 million to $180 million. Its previous guidance for adjusted EBITDA had been "in the negative single digit millions."
CEO Kevin McAleenan said while BigBear.ai is optimistic about future investments and growth opportunities, "we have also seen disruptions in federal contracts from efficiency efforts this quarter, most notably in programs that support the U.S. Army, as they seek to consolidate and modernize their data architecture."
Along with questions about Army contracts, the company expects increased spending in the second half of the year.
In the second quarter, BigBear.ai posted a loss of $0.71 per share, about 12 times more than analysts from Visible Alpha were looking for. Revenue slumped 18% year-over-year to $32.5 million, also well short of forecasts.
Shares of BigBear.ai had entered Tuesday up nearly 60% this year.

Perplexity AI offers $34.5bn to acquire Google Chrome
AI-powered search engine Perplexity AI has made an unsolicited offer of $34.5bn to acquire Alphabet's Chrome browser. Perplexity's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, is known for aggressive acquisition strategies, as evidenced by the company's previous offer for TikTok US. Tech industry's giants such as OpenAI and Yahoo, alongside Apollo Global Management, are also showing interest in Chrome. Alphabet is yet to respond to the bid, and Chrome is not currently up for sale. The technology conglomerate plans to appeal a US court ruling that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. The Justice Department's case against Google includes a potential Chrome divestiture as a remedy, which could influence the outcome of Perplexity's offer. Despite not disclosing its funding plan, Perplexity has raised approximately $1bn from investors including Nvidia and SoftBank. The company claims that multiple funds are ready to finance the deal in full. Perplexity's proposal, which notably lacks an equity component, aims to maintain user choice and address future competition concerns. However; analysts are sceptical about Google's willingness to part with Chrome, considering its strategic importance to the company's AI initiatives, according to Reuters. The legal landscape also presents challenges, with a federal ruling on the Google search antitrust case expected soon. Perplexity, with its own AI browser Comet, aims to harness Chrome's more than three billion users to strengthen its position against larger competitors. The company has committed to keeping Chrome's underlying code, Chromium, open source and plans to invest $3bn over two years while maintaining Chrome's default search engine, as per a term sheet seen by Reuters. In July 2025, Perplexity AI obtained new funding, bringing its valuation to $18bn. The company secured $100m in fresh capital as an extension of a previous round.

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission holding public hearings about Pittsburgh Water rate increase proposals
Two public hearings are being held today where people can weigh in about proposed rate increases for Pittsburgh Water. Pittsburgh Water submitted a rate increase request with the state Public Utility Commission in early June, aiming to increase revenues by more than $84 million over two years. Under the proposed rate increases, if you currently pay around $100 per month, your bill would increase to over $123 in 2026 and over $135 in 2027. Customers with bill discounts would see around an 11% increase in 2026 and around a 10% increase in 2027. The increases would be about 23.5% and 16% for commercial customers. Pittsburgh Water says the rate increase requests are for water, wastewater, and stormwater system improvements and that they allow it to build on things it's already accomplishing. Pittsburgh Water has already removed 13,000 lead service lines and says it's on track to have all lead lines in its system replaced by 2027. The Public Utility Commission says it will review the rate increase proposal and make a final decision. For more information about how to register and join the public hearings, click here.

ChatGPT's update brings us one step closer to living in the movie Her
is a senior technology correspondent at Vox and author of the User Friendly newsletter. He's spent 15 years covering the intersection of technology, culture, and politics at places like The Atlantic, Gizmodo, and Vice. When it came out in 2013, the movie Her was set in the 'slight future.' That 'slight future' is, astonishingly, here. After all, AI-powered chatbots actually are a real thing now, and people are falling in love with them. It's remarkable that the 2013 Spike Jonze sci-fi romance about a lonely mustachioed man, played by Joaquin Phoenix, talking to a robot in an earbud proved to be so prescient. Still, much of our AI-dominated future is still taking shape. Vox Culture Culture reflects society.

AI will certainly shape the culture of the next 25 years, but its biggest transformations to our world still remain to be seen. Even in its most rudimentary iterations, the technology has caused us to question our grip on reality. One of the first moments that AI broke through as a cultural force was when a fake image of Pope Francis wearing a white puffy Balenciaga coat fooled the entire internet a couple of years ago (if only because it avoided the common AI mistake of six-fingered hands). On the darker end of the spectrum, nonconsensual deepfake porn created using AI has become nearly impossible to keep offline, prompting new legislation to be enacted banning the practice. As people turn to AI for companionship, just like Phoenix's character did in Her, some of them are losing touch with reality, becoming delusional, and in one case, an AI chatbot has been linked to a teen's suicide. These developments inevitably seem to signal that a more seismic shift is on the way. AI will certainly shape the culture of the next 25 years, but its biggest transformations to our world still remain to be seen. How will all of that play out? Well, that's the thing about the future: We won't know until it's barrelling down on us. In cultural terms, that could mean we're watching movies that are all at least partially AI-generated, hanging out with AI friends online, and listening to AI-generated music more than human bands.
