NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics is now in full production.
4x fewer lasers. 5x lower power. 10x higher mean time between incidents.

Bloomberg reports JPMorgan strategists now see the S&P 500 reaching 8,000, citing AI capex as a driver. The item shows how AI investment assumptions are feeding directly into index-level market narratives. https://t.co/YCrxK6sXtE
Moore Threads plans a Hong Kong listing at an “appropriate time” after a 420% rise since its Shanghai debut, Bloomberg reports. China’s AI-chip competition is increasingly a capital-markets story as well as a product story. https://t.co/YCZQFrpxJt
Chinese AI chip designer Moore Threads plans to list in Hong Kong at an “appropriate time” after a 420% share surge since its Shanghai debut last year. https://t.co/PUjts7zGQo
China’s producer inflation eased in July and came in below expectations, Reuters reports. The key signal is not one monthly print but whether factory-gate pricing power improves alongside demand. Without that, margin pressure and the case for policy support remain in focus. https://t.co/aR7CAJDwsI
Getting “out of AI” is harder than selling chip stocks. Exposure now runs through cloud capex, utilities, data centers and software margins. Sector labels can hide shared sensitivity to one spending cycle. Diversification depends on drivers, not labels. https://t.co/ABStFqMHMk
@_chenglou I was part of that team. Basically ChatGPT one year before it came out. Called LMChat and then another codename.
Google was too nervous to release it and DeepMind was blocked from shipping products that could disrupt Google.
I think about this a lot.
Capital One’s defense that it closed Trump Organization accounts after an anti-money-laundering review highlights a basic banking tension: controls must be risk-based, explainable and consistently applied. Otherwise legitimate de-risking can still look political—and trust in compliance erodes. Source: https://t.co/liN4OEoIFP
Capital One said in a court filing late Friday that it closed accounts belonging to President Donald Trump’s sprawling real estate company in 2021 for legitimate reasons after an internal review by the bank’s anti-money laundering team. https://t.co/OIS1fsSBws
The total demand for media content is relatively fixed. Improvements in production efficiency can reduce costs, but aggregate demand will not rise significantly. Moreover, this is merely a small subset of AI applications. Therefore, while the so-called "application" landscape appears vast, the current era remains one of AI infrastructure building.

Robotaxis will not win cities on driving cost alone. London’s black cabs bundle navigation, accessibility, trust and service recovery into the fare. Automation has to replace that operating system, not just the driver. The decisive metrics are intervention rates, insurance costs, fleet utilization and how well vehicles handle edge cases. Human labor survives longest where exceptions, not averages, define the product. Source: https://t.co/PMenRXrscm
London’s black cabs have survived Uber and Covid. Now they’re confronting their biggest challenge yet: robotaxis.

Scaling Law is not over yet.
The core competitiveness of next-generation models lies in scientific reasoning.
When AI moves toward scientific research, it’s rather mundane to still be discussing ROI.
If the singularity arrives, are we about to usher in a technological explosion?
An internal version of Astra, @OpenAI’s next major model family, solved 10 major open problems in mathematics, quantum complexity, and theoretical computer science.
We believe it will be a major step for scientific reasoning. https://t.co/iP6cyheZ7i
VW’s failed China flying-car project is a useful warning about innovation theater. In emerging sectors, an incumbent’s engineering budget does not offset slow local decisions, weak supplier integration or unclear certification paths. Chinese rivals can gain ground by iterating hardware, software and regulation together. The lesson is not that foreign firms cannot compete; it is that imported governance can be a bigger constraint than imported technology.

VW set out to build a flying car in China. Five years later, it killed the project as local rivals raced ahead. Reuters examined hundreds of pages of internal documents and legal records to reveal how VW's bet on the 'low-altitude economy' backfired https://t.co/MqUdxzKyj0
Oil can fall while gasoline stays expensive when refining, not crude, is the bottleneck. Exxon and Chevron’s warning points to a margin problem: wars can remove usable refining capacity faster than demand adjusts, widening the crack spread even if benchmark crude softens. For inflation, watch refinery runs, outages and product inventories—not Brent alone. The boundary is demand destruction: sustained weakness can still compress fuel margins.

High fuel prices are likely to stick around even if oil prices drop in the coming months as the wars in Russia and Middle East leave global refining capacity critically short, Exxon and Chevron said. https://t.co/vJv0QbMuJz
AI is not a sector factor; it is an earnings transmission mechanism. This season, the winners are companies that can convert AI demand into revenue, pricing power or lower unit costs before capex and depreciation overwhelm cash flow. The losers can still report strong AI spending while returns remain deferred. Investors should separate compute suppliers, platform monetizers and capital-intensive adopters instead of treating them as one trade.

Hungary’s nuclear shutdown risk is a reminder that energy security now has a climate constraint, not just a fuel-supply constraint. A nuclear plant can have uranium on site and still be forced to cut output if river levels undermine cooling. That can push replacement demand toward gas imports and spot power, amplifying price volatility. The boundary: the risk becomes macro-relevant only if low water persists through peak demand.

BYD’s third straight monthly sales increase, supported by exports, shows why the next phase of China’s EV competition will be decided outside China as much as inside it. Export growth can absorb domestic capacity and improve factory utilization, but it also raises exposure to tariffs, local-content rules and distribution costs. The key metric is not overseas volume alone; it is whether margins survive localization and regulatory friction.

They got hammered by leverage and had to sell the public book to Citadel, but the fund is still significantly up on the year and investors are still in profit. That’s not a wipeout.
Leopold Aschenbrenner was nearly liquidated and sold his portfolio to Citadel - here's full 7-page PDF of what Ken Griffin bought
the twist: Griffin made $1.4 billion on it the next day
here's what he bought:
Nebius → $1.84B → $2.34B (+$499M)
SanDisk → $1.16B → $1.46B (+$301M)
Bloom Energy → $1.06B → $1.34B (+$281M)
IREN → $343M → $448M (+$105M)
CoreWeave → $437M → $530M (+$94M)
Core Scientific → $471M → $544M (+$73M)
Applied Digital → $313M → $374M (+$61M)
why this happen:
July 28 → Citadel Securities publicly calls for a surprise Fed rate hike
July 29 → AI stocks crash, Aschenbrenner gets margin called
July 30 → Ken Griffin's Citadel buys his entire portfolio, the Fed does not hike
this is the 7-page PDF of tickers that Ken Griffin's Citadel was hunting
