Gold's 14% quarterly plunge defies conventional wisdom—driven not by confidence but by rising real yields making non-yielding assets less attractive, even as central banks quietly buy at discounts. Meanwhile, The Rundown launches a Community AI Workflow Hub, shifting focus from influencer hype to real builders doing real work. Claude Opus 5 faces serious backlash over verbosity and unpredictability, revealing how model differences break optimized workflows. And the multiplayer agent race accelerates: Buzz expands from 3 to 12 available agents in five days, Perplexity launches Projects for shared agentic work, and OpenAI cuts GPT-5.6 Luna prices by 80%. The through-line: velocity and compression are the story. Markets, models, and platforms are moving faster than our intuitions can track.","author_name":"Brian Swichkow"}
