Anduril Industries to acquire Klas
Defence technology company Anduril Industries has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Klas, an edge computing and tactical communications services provider.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Subject to regulatory approval, the acquisition will add Klas' 'rugged' hardware to Anduril's suite of autonomous systems and networked defence technologies.
It is expected to enhance the company's ability to provide 'faster, more resilient and seamlessly integrated' solutions for challenging, front-line operational environments.
Klas will continue its operations in Ireland and the US, with plans to expand manufacturing to meet demand across Anduril's portfolio.
The acquisition also establishes Anduril's first office in Dublin, expanding its international presence in Europe, the UK, Australia, Japan, and Taiwan.
Anduril said: 'Modern defence operations require compute and connectivity that go wherever the mission does—not just where the infrastructure allows.'
Klas offers Voyager line, a modular family of compute and networking systems designed to withstand extreme conditions.
Voyager is already part of Anduril's Menace systems, supporting operations across ground, maritime, and air domains.
'This acquisition builds on that foundation,' Anduril said.
The company added: 'Every autonomous system is only as capable as the compute and comms it carries—together, they form the nervous system that enables real-time decision-making, coordination, and mission execution.'
By combining Anduril's Lattice software platform, autonomy, and sensor capabilities with Klas' infrastructure, the company aims to deliver lightweight, mission-tailored systems that are faster to deploy, easier to maintain, and more resilient.
This is expected to allow Anduril to adapt edge compute and communications to specific mission needs, reducing integration risk and accelerating technology deployment.
In December, Anduril entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT and cutting-edge models such as GPT-4o, to strengthen AI capabilities for US national security.
The initiative focuses on embedding OpenAI's advanced AI technology into Anduril's defence platforms and its Lattice operating system, with a particular emphasis on improving counter-unmanned aircraft systems performance.

Palantir-Backed Voyager Rockets Above $31 IPO Price
Voyager Technologies kicks off trading on the NYSE after pricing its IPO at $31above its marketed $26$29 rangeraising $382.8 million at a $1.9 billion market cap in what Wall Street sees as a litmus test for space-sector stocks. Backed by Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), Voyager's debut follows Circle's blockbuster listing and precedes Chime's IPO, spotlighting investor appetite for high-growth tech niches. Founded in Colorado, Voyager specializes in defense and commercial space technologies, with NASA as its largest customer under a $217.5 million contract to design the Starlab space station set to succeed the ISS around 2030. In 2024, Voyager posted $144.2 million in sales26% of which came from NASAand saw revenue grow 6% last year and 14% in Q1 2025, though it reported a $65.6 million net loss as it scales operations. Management expanded the share sale to 12.35 million shares to meet demand, tapping a broad investor base eager for exposure to orbital infrastructure ahead of U.S. defense initiatives like the proposed Golden Dome missile-defense shield. Investors should care because Voyager's trading performance will gauge market enthusiasm for space plays amid a wave of tech IPOs, and its strong NASA ties provide a steady revenue pillar even as profitability remains a longer-term goal. Investors will watch VOYG's first-day trading action and future earnings reports for signs that government contracts and rising commercial space investments can drive sustained growth and narrow net losses.

Housing, schools and more in the revitalization of Las Vegas' Historic Westside
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Take a look at the Historic Westside, and you will see active construction around the neighborhood. The City of Las Vegas' Hundred Plan brings new places to live, learn, shop, and more. The plan also brings new infrastructure. To improve walkability in the area, Jackson Avenue's sidewalks are now 15 feet wide with shade trees, better lighting, and rounded curbs that make crossing the street shorter and safer. Las Vegas Ward 5 City Councilwoman Shondra Summers-Armstrong, who represents the area, said a change as simple as a wider sidewalk keeps people in the neighborhood. 'If you have a wide sidewalk and people are walking side by side, they stay longer in a community, they stay longer to shop because they're talking to one another and enjoying each other's company,' Summers-Armstrong said. In the near future, enjoying each other's company can take place at the new affordable and mixed-income housing developments. One of them, ShareDOWNTOWN Westside, will feature commercial space and a small business incubator to help entrepreneurs grow their restaurant ideas. 'It's going to be a destination in the community for people to come and enjoy multiple different types of food offerings in one location,' Summers-Armstrong said. 'We're just excited. I can't spill the beans, but just trust me, it's going to be the spot to be.' Summers-Armstrong said the city wants people to come back to the area, but those who have been there for generations are not going to be forgotten. Westside neighbors like Ray Watson are helping make the decisions. 'It's very pleasant to finally see some changes in this community, and I'm excited about that,' Watson said.

ChatGPT's Sam Altman sends strong 2-word message on the future
As the AI boom continues to take over both the tech industry and the news cycle, there's one thing that's for sure: it's scaring a lot of people. AI is a technically complex topic that can be difficult to explain to the average person, but there's one sentiment that isn't hard to explain at all: the concept that AI might take your job. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter So rather than try to understand AI's capabilities, or why every major tech company from Meta to Google to Nvidia is pouring billions of dollars into developing it, most people are going to zero in on the part that's personally applicable to them. Related: Cathie Wood has a bold take on AI stealing your job Some voices in the tech space have tried to present an opposite take on the whole "AI making you jobless" rhetoric. Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said in a recent tweet, "History shows that new technologies create many more jobs than they displace. We do not think that this time will be different." OpenAI's Sam Altman is easily the AI movement's biggest figurehead, thanks to ChatGPT's runaway success. The company hit three million paid ChatGPT subscribers as of June. This proves that people are flocking to it in droves - and away from search engines. Research firm Gartner has even predicted that by 2026, traditional search engine volume will drop 25%. Now Altman has penned a blog post addressing the topic of AI and how it's changing our world. It's a refreshing take that, for once, will give you some hope about the future of your career. Altman's post emphasizes that compared to any time that has come before, the 2030s can be described with two powerful words: "wildly different." Altman offers a reality check, saying, "We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far, it's much less weird than it seems like it should be." "We do not know how far beyond human-level intelligence we can go, but we are about to find out," he continued.

Altman also says ChatGPT is "already more powerful than any human who has ever lived," a phrase that may feel threatening to some, considering that LLMs are not human to begin with. But Altman sees even more ahead, predicting that AI will significantly mold our future. Related: Microsoft has good news for Elon Musk, bad news for Sam Altman "In the 2030s, intelligence and energy - ideas, and the ability to make ideas happen -are going to become wildly abundant. These two have been the fundamental limiters on human progress for a long time; with abundant intelligence and energy (and good governance), we can theoretically have anything else." Altman also acknowledged that, yes, many jobs will go away as AI continues to evolve, but that won't be the end of the story. "The rate of technological progress will keep accelerating, and it will continue to be the case that people are capable of adapting to almost anything," he says. "There will be very hard parts like whole classes of jobs going away, but on the other hand, the world will be getting so much richer so quickly that we'll be able to seriously entertain new policy ideas we never could before. We probably won't adopt a new social contract all at once, but when we look back in a few decades, the gradual changes will have amounted to something big." Altman also points out a key asset of humanity that AI cannot duplicate, saying, "People have a long-term important and curious advantage over AI: we are hard-wired to care about other people and what they think and do, and we don't care very much about machines."
