greenbutterfly Aalyria, the space-based communications startup spun out of Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), said Monday it has raised $100M in a Series B funding round, led by Battery Ventures and J2 Ventures. The latest capital raise round values Aalyria at $1.3B. "This funding accelerates deployment of our Spacetime orchestration platform and Tightbeam laser communications terminals—turning isolated satellites, aircraft, ships, and ground stations into intelligent networks that route around failures and adapt in real time," Aalyria said in a post on LinkedIn. Google still holds a minority, non-controlling stake in Aalyria. The startup acquired nearly a decade's worth of intellectual property, patents, and physical assets from Google when it was spun out in September 2022.

The world’s top AI models can be prompted to generate near-verbatim copies of bestselling novels, raising fresh questions about the industry’s claim that its systems do not store copyrighted works. A series of recent studies has shown that large language models from OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, and xAI memorize far more of their training data than previously thought. AI and legal experts told the FT this “memorization” ability could have serious ramifications on AI groups’ battle against dozens of copyright lawsuits around the world, as it undermines their core defense that LLMs “learn” from copyrighted works but do not store copies .

Hi, welcome to the Bloomberg Deals newsletter. Today, we look at some numbers that will make unhappy reading for technology bankers. Elsewhere, Honeywell salvages its Catalyst takeover by slashing the price. Today’s top stories Gilead to buy biotech Arcellx in deal worth up to $7.8 billion . Honeywell slashes price in deal for Johnson Matthey’s Catalyst. KKR agrees to buy school firm XCL in $1.3 billion deal. Merck to create a separate cancer unit as patent cliff looms. Centerview settles suit by ex-analyst over her need for sleep . Tech trough Technology bankers are struggling to gain traction in 2026 as the selloff in software stocks rolls markets and hits deal-flow in the sector. The value of tech mergers and acquisitions is running around 20% lower than at this point in 2025—at little more than $40 billion, Bloomberg-compiled data show. That compares to a 5% rise is global M&A values. The data strip out the combination of Elon Musk’s SpaceX and xAI earlier this month. The slump comes after a record run for tech deals last year that many thought would continue into 2026, as the boom in artificial intelligence drove the need for companies to adapt in part via M&A. Instead, new AI tools from companies like Anthropic have led Wall Street to dump shares and debt of so-called software-as-a-service providers, which investors believe will be mothballed by the emerging tech. A handful of software firms, including McAfee , have decided to release earnings early in a bid to convince lenders of their resilience to the disruption. This is having a particularly nasty effect on private equity firms, given the industry owns many incumbent software providers. There are growing fears buyout firms are going to be stuck with these companies, many of which were acquired at the height of the market in 2021, which could then impact their ability to fundraise and strike new deals. Some advisers have been cautioning against overreacting, however. In a LinkedIn post , Michal Katz, head o...

The hardest-hit utilities include Eversource Energy ( ES ), with 206,909 of its 3.32M customers without power, followed by FirstEnergy ( FE ), with 80,060 of its 6.16M customers affected, and National Grid ( NGG ), with 64,340 of its 3.08M customers hit, according to PowerOutage.us; by state, Massachusetts has 255,864 outages, New Jersey has 134,809, and Delaware has 76,360. U.S. natural gas futures traded higher but well off earlier gains of as much as 6.8%; recently, Nymex gas ( NG1:COM ) for March delivery was +1.1% at $3.081/MMBtu. While a bullish weather forecast drives upside at the front of the curve, the shift "at present appears too small to meaningfully change the outlook for natural gas," Eli Rubin of EBW Analytics said in a note.
