BREAKING: The US will allow Iran to immediately begin selling oil and fuel under the deal to end the war, per WSJ.

Details include:

1. The provision for waivers of sanctions on oil sales takes effect immediately upon signing the agreement

2. This also covers necessary services including banking, transportation and insurance needed to facilitate the sales

3. Iran is expected to receive upfront sanctions relief under the deal with further relief tied to Iran’s performance

Oil prices are down sharply on the news.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: A source close to the IRGC says there is "growing satisfaction" inside the Revolutionary Guards over the deal, with IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi saying "first, we take the money" in reference to the $300 billion in reconstruction funds and $24 billion in frozen funds Iran is receiving, and then the IRGC takes over the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb after Hormuz, where it plans to "play exactly the same game."

The IRGC's internal assessment is that Iran preserved its ballistic missile program, full regional proxy network, complete control over Hormuz and ability to rebuild while extracting hundreds of billions of US dollars and recognition, with discussions already focused on "the day after the agreement, not the agreement itself."

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.

With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.

This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to pay $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly to Iran as part of the deal Pakistan announced, alongside the release of $24 billion in frozen funds with $12 billion released before negotiations even start, per Mehr News.

This directly contradicts Trump's & Vance's claim that no funds will be transferred to Iran at all.

If Trump denies this is true, there never was a deal. If Trump confirms, the US has fully capitulated to Iran's demands.

BREAKING: US oil prices crash below $81/barrel after Pakistan announces that the US and Iran have reached a peace deal.

AMD CEO Lisa Su just killed Nvidia’s $4,000 AI box with a $1,499 lunchbox.

She walked on stage, held it in one hand, and ran a 235 billion parameter model live. No data center. No cloud. No rented GPU.

The chip inside is something nobody saw coming. AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the first x86 silicon where CPU and GPU share the same 128GB of memory. That single trick lets a desktop run models that used to need a server rack.

Out of those 128GB, Linux hands the GPU 110GB to play with. For context, an RTX 5090 gives you 32GB. A 4090 gives you 24. This box gives you more than three times either of them, in a chassis the size of a thick paperback.

The benchmark that broke the room: this chip beat an Nvidia RTX 5080 by more than 3x on DeepSeek R1 inference. A $1,499 lunchbox outrunning a $1,000 discrete graphics card on a real AI workload. Nvidia spent a decade convincing the world you needed their hardware for serious AI. AMD just put that on a desk for half the price.

Here is what nobody is telling you. A heavy AI user right now pays $200 for Claude Code Max, $200 for ChatGPT Pro, $20 for Cursor, $20 for Gemini. That is $5,280 a year leaving your account. The box pays itself off in 9 months and then runs free for the rest of its life.

Install Ollama. Pull Qwen3 235B. Point Claude Code at localhost. Same interface you already use, except now nothing leaves your machine, nothing costs per request, and no company throttles your usage at 3am when you finally have time to build.

This is the moment every AI subscription becomes optional. Lawyers stop fearing OpenAI leaks. Developers stop watching the token meter. Founders stop renting H100s for prototypes that never ship because the bill scared them.

The first thousand people to figure this out will own the next two years of private AI consulting.

Save this, and read the full breakdown article below you are watching the next shift hit before everyone else does.

🚨🇺🇸 Leute, denkt das mal weiter! 🤯

Gestern wurde Anthropic per Exportkontrolle angewiesen, zwei seiner Modelle weltweit zu sperren. Offiziell ohne Grund. Den Grund hab ich inzwischen, und er ist deutlich unangenehmer als "der Staat hat Angst vor einem Chatbot".

Das gesperrte Modell ist die abgesicherte Variante. Mythos ist die rohe Maschine, Fable ist Mythos mit einem Sicherheitsschloss davor. Dahinter steckt fortgeschrittene Cyberfähigkeit - so hat Anthropic das selbst eingestuft, als das Unternehmen für genau diese Klasse von Modellen staatliche Regulierung verlangt hat.

Jetzt hat ein Vertrauenspartner, den Anthropic UND die Regierung anerkennen, das Schloss geknackt. Ein Jailbreak. Die Administration forderte Anthropic-Chef Dario Amodei auf, die Lücke zu schließen oder das Modell abzuschalten. Amodei lehnte ab. Der Jailbreak sei "nicht ernst".

Hier wird @DavidSacks interessant. Sacks hat die KI-Linie dieser Regierung mitgeprägt und Anthropic monatelang vorgeworfen, über Sicherheits-Lobbying Open-Source aus dem Markt zu drängen. Und jetzt schaltet ausgerechnet seine eigene Administration ein Closed-Source-Modell von Anthropic ab - genau die Sorte Modell, die Sacks gegen den offenen Markt verteidigt sah.

Und das ist der Punkt, der weit über Anthropic hinausgeht.

Exportkontrolle ist dasselbe Instrument, mit dem Washington Nvidia-Chips Richtung China blockiert. Bisher traf es Hardware. Physische Güter, die man am Hafen aufhalten kann. Diesmal traf es ein Software-Modell, das weltweit bei Hunderten Millionen Menschen lief - per Anweisung abgeschaltet.

Damit ist bewiesen, was bisher nur ein theoretisches Argument war: Zentrale KI hat einen staatlichen Kill-Switch. Ein Befehl aus einem Ministerium, und dein Werkzeug ist weg.

Genau hier wird es interessant für Investoren!

Wer jetzt in dezentrale KI rotiert, rechnet so: Ein Modell, das auf der eigenen Maschine läuft, kennt keinen Kill-Switch. Ollama installierst du mit einem Befehl, es erkennt jede GPU, und das Modell gehört dir. Oder du ziehst Rechenleistung aus einem permissionless Netz, das niemand zentral abdrehen kann. Genau das treibt den Kapitalfluss gerade.

Profitieren lässt sich in zwei Richtungen.

Crypto - dezentrale Rechenleistung ohne Gatekeeper:
→ #Bittensor - das Anführer-Netz für permissionless KI, kein zentraler Schalter
→ Akash ($AKT) - dezentraler Marktplatz für GPU-Miete, gestern zweistellig grün
→ Render ($RENDER) - verteilte GPU-Rechenleistung für Modelle und Grafik
→ ASI Alliance ($FET) - Bündnis für autonome KI-Agenten

Aktien - die lokale-LLM-Welle braucht Hardware zum Selberlaufen:
→ Apple ($AAPL) - Apple Silicon mit unified memory ist aktuell die effizienteste Consumer-Plattform für große Modelle daheim
→ AMD ($AMD) - Consumer-GPUs plus ROCm für lokale Inferenz
→ Micron ($MU) - Speicher entscheidet, ob ein Modell lokal überhaupt reinpasst, und wie schnell es antwortet

Jetzt die ehrliche Seite, weil ich keinem was vorrechne, das ich selbst nicht so sehen würde.

Der Sprung bei Bittensor läuft auf einem Narrativ, nicht auf Fundamentaldaten. Das Buch ist dünn, $TAO liegt bei nur rund 2,5 Milliarden Dollar Marktkapitalisierung. Bitcoin steht heute knapp im Plus - es zieht nur der KI-Sektor, der breite Markt steht still. Solche Bewegungen kommen schnell und gehen genauso schnell. Ich bin selbst nicht früh drin gewesen und renne dem Ding auf diesem Stand nicht blind hinterher.

Das große Bild bleibt für mich trotzdem stehen. Gestern wurde zum ersten Mal ein global laufendes KI-Modell per Knopfdruck aus dem Markt genommen. Jeder, der seine Werkzeuge nicht in fremder Hand wissen will, hat das verstanden.

Ich glaube, dezentrale Rechenleistung wird in den nächsten zwei, drei Jahren das tragende Crypto-Narrativ neben Bitcoin - und gestern war der Anfang davon. Wenn du das anders siehst, schreib mir, wo ich danebenliege.

Another record has been set.

The US stock market cap-to-GDP ratio is up to a record 238%.

This comes as the stock market's value surged to an all-time high of $75.7 trillion, far exceeding the ~$31.8 trillion size of the US economy.

This ratio has surged +38 percentage points since the March 30th bottom in the S&P 500.

This metric is also now +90 percentage points above the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak of ~148%.

Since the 2008 Financial Crisis, the US stock market has grown at 5x the rate of the underlying economy.

Asset owners are winning more than ever.
