Amazon has formed a new home robotics team in recent months to develop a “world-first robot product.” According to Sina Finance, Jeff Bezos directed a group of senior device executives in 2017 to build a home robot, and the team developed Astro, priced at $1,450, within a few years. First shown at Amazon’s fall 2021 event, Astro is a wheeled tablet with Alexa that can navigate a home, recognize faces and serve as a mobile security monitor. It remained invite-only and shipped to only a few thousand customers. Amazon also launched a business-focused Astro in 2023 but discontinued it less than a year later. A recently deleted engineering job listing said, “Robots are about to leave the movies and enter our homes,” and described a product that could navigate “dynamic home environments” and “operate autonomously alongside family members.” Amazon has continued pursuing Bezos’s home robotics ambition despite Astro’s setbacks. CEO Andy Jassy wrote in his latest annual shareholder letter that AI and robotics are “one of the biggest inflection points of our lifetime,” adding that Amazon seeks to anticipate what will make customers’ lives easier and better and invent the next inflection point. Barclays forecast in a January report that the global humanoid robot market, currently valued at $2 billion to $3 billion, could reach about $40 billion by 2035, or as much as $200 billion in the most optimistic scenario.

Ukraine’s national power company said Russian attacks on energy infrastructure caused emergency power cuts in Kharkiv, Sumy and Poltava regions on the 8th. According to Sina Finance, DTEK said Kyiv and the surrounding region also experienced emergency cuts that morning, while more than 600,000 residents in Dnipropetrovsk region, including in Pavlohrad, lost power; Zhytomyr region reported outages affecting 312,000 households and heating disruptions in more than 100 apartment buildings in the city. Ukraine’s Air Force said Russian forces launched three missiles and 164 drones between the evening of the 7th and early morning of the 8th, and that Ukrainian forces had intercepted or suppressed 137 drones by 8:00 on the 8th. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it struck energy infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s armed forces, including a substation in Zhytomyr region serving Ukrainian defense-industry companies, and a vessel in the Black Sea carrying military supplies for Ukraine.

According to CNBC, Poppi founders Allison and Stephen Ellsworth are launching Jetty, a hydration beverage brand positioned to compete with PepsiCo’s Gatorade. Starting Monday, Jetty’s drinks and ready-to-mix electrolyte packets will be available at Whole Foods and online at Target and Amazon. The self-funded brand launches with five flavors and has $2.5 million in funding. Allison Ellsworth described Jetty as a product for everyday hydration, with less sugar and fewer electrolytes than traditional sports drinks. Each 15.2-ounce bottle or 15-gram packet contains 100 milligrams of sodium, 310 milligrams of potassium, 100 milligrams of magnesium, 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of sugar. Gatorade holds about 60% of the U.S. sports drink market, according to Numerator data.

According to ChainCatcher, U.S. President Donald Trump said the latest midterm election results marked a major step backward for the country. He said the stock market, which had soared during his administration, lost $3 trillion in a single day, but pledged that the country would rebound stronger and more successful than ever.

DeepSeek Harness said on X on November 8 that it plans to improve plugin API stability and compatibility, strengthen plugin security, and build an official plugin marketplace. According to PANews, the marketplace will let developers publish plugins and users find plugins they need; the team is also preparing a support program for plugin authors, including token funding, technical exchanges, and promotion of their work. An expression-of-interest form is open, while participation rules and support details will be announced when the program launches. Since DeepSeek Harness launched, the number of third-party plugins has grown to about 35,000, and around 60% of active users have created or installed at least one plugin.

The Democrats' sweeping midterm victory is prompting Wall Street and major U.S. companies to reassess plans for large mergers and acquisitions. According to Sina Finance, although U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will retain antitrust approval authority, executives are concerned that the relatively permissive regulatory environment may not last once Democrats take control of both chambers of Congress. Some companies are considering advancing major deals to secure approval before the 2028 presidential election cycle gets fully underway. Wells Fargo banker Fernando Rivas said the market could again adopt a “do it now or lose the chance” mindset for mergers. Paul Nary, an associate professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, said major transactions take considerable time to negotiate and secure global regulatory approval, so companies should start preparing immediately and aim to announce deals before mid-2027. Large mergers are likely to face greater political scrutiny. More than half of the U.S.-involving mergers valued at least $50 billion announced over the past 20 years were announced during Donald Trump's two presidential terms. This year, Marvell Technology agreed to acquire optical communications company Lumentum for more than $100 billion, while Paramount Skydance agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion. The latter deal received U.S. Justice Department approval without antitrust remedies. Democrats are expected to take control of both chambers in January. Although they cannot directly take over the Justice Department or Federal Trade Commission, they can scrutinize large mergers through hearings, investigations and subpoenas, including deals already approved or completed. Deals drawing lawmakers' attention include DoorDash's $17 billion acquisition of Maplebear, the parent company of Instacart; NextEra Energy's $67 billion acquisition of Dominion Energy; and the completed Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Disputes concern competition, consumer prices and corporate responsibility. A potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla, promoted by Elon Musk, could also face scrutiny. Musk had hoped to announce a merger in the first half of 2027. After Democrats won control of Congress, concerns grew that the companies' business and political activities could face closer investigations, weighing on their share prices. Cooling AI investment is adding uncertainty to some large deals. Data center expansion was a prominent issue in several states during the midterm elections, with results reflecting voter dissatisfaction with some related construction. Investors are concerned about the scale of AI infrastructure spending and the risk of tighter restrictions on future data center construction. Marvell and Lumentum shares fell after the election; the strategic value of their all-stock deal relies heavily on continued growth in data center and AI connectivity demand, and the share-price declines and changing industry outlook could add uncertainty about completion. Wall Street investment banks, which had strengthened ties with Republican figures to adapt to the Trump administration's regulatory environment, now need to rebuild communication channels with Democratic lawmakers. Nary said companies will also need strategies for congressional oversight, after merger advisers became increasingly familiar with the Trump administration's approval process.
