The KODEX SK Hynix Single Stock Leverage ETF — a product designed to deliver twice the daily move in SK Hynix shares — has fallen more than 80% since its June 23 peak
The equivalent product tracking Samsung has fallen almost 75% from its peak on June 3.

You can now run Qwen 3.6 27B on <10GB of memory and retain 90% of the intelligence.
Today, @PrismML dropped Bonsai 27B - which takes their unique compression approach they have already successfully applied to Qwen3.6 8B and Flux2-Klein and applied it to a properly smart model.
Here is it using an entire computer for deep research.
Long horizon agentic calls already are strong with Qwen3.6 27B and they still are here - just on 10x less memory.
I know we are only halfway through the year, but I feel it will be hard to top this comment from one of the obligatory buy recommendations on $SPCX issued by one of the underwriters this week. It is truly glorious.
Bridgewater just published numbers that should make every frontier lab nervous.
The world's largest hedge fund tested Gemini, Claude, and GPT on six document filtering tasks its investors do every day. Naive prompts scored around 50%. A coin flip. Expert-written prompts pushed accuracy to 78%. Investors needed 80% before they'd trust the system in their workflow, and no frontier model cleared it. GPT 5.4 cost 43% more than 5.2 and was barely more accurate.
So they fine-tuned Qwen3-235B on Tinker instead. 84.7% accuracy. 29.8% fewer mistakes than the best frontier model. At 1/14th the inference cost.
The smartest part is buried in the middle of the paper. Their vendor-labeled training data was riddled with wrong labels, and expert labeling costs too much to run on everything. Their fix: train a model on the noisy dataset, then run it back over its own training data. Any example the model disagreed with got routed to senior investors, because either the example was genuinely hard or the label was wrong. The model's own confusion became a detector for bad labels.
Prompting hit a ceiling for a structural reason. A prompt captures only the judgment an expert can put into words. Twenty years of taste about which central bank memo actually signals a rate move doesn't compress into instructions. It transfers through labeled examples.
Every institution sitting on decades of expert decisions just learned that those archives can train a model that beats the frontier at their specific job. The alpha was in the filing cabinet the whole time.
Bridgewater used their unique financial knowledge and partnered with us on @tinkerapi to fine-tune a model that helps their analysts focus on what's important. Experts improving AI that empowers experts.

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.
In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.
Introducing Workers: unlimited AI employees that run your company...
And we've just made $1M ARR in a couple of days.
Most knowledge jobs shouldn't exist.
Not because the work isn't valuable.
Because the way we execute it is absurd.
Millions of people spend their days:
- Answering emails
- Following up
- Updating CRM
- Coordinating meetings
- Moving information between systems
There is no expertise here. That's workflow..
Workers are AI employees that can perform work across your organization like a human teammate.
The line between software and labor just disappeared.
I'm extremely sad to hear the news of the passing of Alan Greenspan. My deepest condolences to Andrea and the other members of his family.
As Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, Alan Greenspan served as a steady hand during some of the most transformative decades in modern American economic history.
His career was defined by a profound dedication to public service, an incredible command of details, and an enormous intellectual curiosity.
Across five terms and four presidential administrations, he navigated the Federal Reserve through monumental challenges and changes, including that always-tricky pivot from defense to offense. With that, he helped the U.S. economy benefit from a consequentially positive productivity shock.
The world of economics and public policy has lost a towering figure whose influence is still being felt today.
May he rest in peace.
