Our tools are highly imperfect, and we’re working to gain more precise understanding of model internals. But it’s becoming clear that reading models’ minds is an important complement to reading their outputs, if we are to ensure they work as intended.

Perplexity just gave every retail investor a Bloomberg Terminal. For free.
Watch this demo. It's wild.
@perplexity_ai connects to brokerage accounts via @Plaid and builds a custom investment dashboard in seconds.
Perplexity Computer pulls from 40+ live finance tools like:
- SEC filings
- FactSet
- S&P Global
- Coinbase
- LSEG.
75% of Perplexity's paying users were already asking finance questions monthly. The demand existed before the product did.
But you couldn't DO anything with that information.

Now you can connect it to your data for better insights.
Connect your brokerage accounts through Plaid, and suddenly an AI agent can see your actual holdings across multiple institutions — then query institutional-grade data against them.
"Show me my sector concentration risk" or "How exposed am I to rising rates" — answered in seconds with your real portfolio, not hypotheticals.
---
It still can't trade for you, though.
That's a deliberate regulatory design choice that lets Perplexity move fast while every neobank and robo-advisor is still waiting for compliance sign-off.
Fintech companies spent a decade building Plaid as pipes for fintech apps to read your bank data.
But I'm much more interested in when we give them to AI
🇺🇸 BREAKING: Coinbase confirms it’s considering applying for a US federal bank charter, a move that could let it offer traditional banking services like deposits and loans.
Sat for my first public interview in four years. Great to catch up with @RaoulGMI and talk about DCG's history, where we're investing & building and why I'm so excited about Bittensor $TAO and our new company, @YumaGroup

Trump told Jerome Powell to cut interest rates.
Powell didn't do it.
Now Trump is trying to force Powell to cut interest rates by crashing asset prices.
We will see who blinks first.
🚨 GOOGLE DROPS AI ETHICS PLEDGE—NOW OPEN TO MILITARY & SURVEILLANCE USE
Google has dropped its commitment to never use AI for weapons or surveillance, rewriting its AI principles to allow national security applications.
Alphabet execs argue "democracies should lead in AI development", pushing for closer collaboration between tech firms and governments.
The shift comes ahead of a $75B AI investment, as Google races to dominate the AI arms race.
Critics warn this undoes past ethical commitments, while supporters say it’s a necessary move in a changing geopolitical landscape.
