Cerebras reported strong revenue growth but warned of margin compression, sending AI infrastructure stocks into a broader sell-off led by Micron and SanDisk. SpaceX made an unusual $25 billion bond sale despite holding massive cash reserves. Meanwhile, Anthropic launched Claude Tag for Slack—a significant redesign of LLM user experience bringing agentic AI to team workflows—and Meta released affordable AI glasses starting at $299. On the geopolitical front, Trump secured a major regional victory as Colombia elected a right-wing president aligned with his Shield of the Americas coalition. Europe grapples with a deadly heat wave rivaling 2003's catastrophic conditions. We also cover the dollar hitting 13-month highs amid Fed rate hike expectations, the booming M&A market hitting $4 trillion pace, and OpenAI's new ChatGPT Ads platform launching as the company faces declining market share.","author_name":"Brian Swichkow"}
