krblokhin Amazon ’s ( AMZN ) cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services, said Thursday that it was working to bring temperatures back to normal at a data center in Northern Virginia after overheating caused disruptions to some services. "We continue to investigate instance impairments to a single Availability Zone (use1-az4) in the US-EAST-1 Region. We have experienced an increase in temperatures within a single data center, which in some cases has caused impairments for instances in the Availability Zone," the company said in a status update. "EC2 instances and EBS volumes hosted on impacted hardware are affected by the loss of power during the thermal event. Other AWS services that depend on the affected EC2 instances and EBS volumes in this Availability Zone, may also experience impairments." Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase ( COIN ) said it was aware that customers may be experiencing degraded performance at this time due to an AWS outage.

BlackRock Private Credit Fund Cuts Asset Values By 5%, As Golub Gates After 8.5% Redemptions Just another day in private credit paradise... er, hell. One day after Gundlach repeated his warning that the private credit crisis will end in tears for bagholders, Blackrock cut the value of its publicly-traded private credit fund by about 5%, as it - like most of its peers - struggled under the weight of troubled loans, markdowns and lower returns. BlackRock TCP Capital Corp., a publicly traded middle-market lending fund, said markdowns totaled $35 million in the quarter ended March 31, according to a statement on Thursday. Amusingly, and in hopes of redirecting attention, the $1.5 billion fund highlighted “improving credit quality,” and said it invested more in senior debt and strengthened its balance sheet. The fund said its dividend, which was cut to 17 cents a share last quarter, would remain flat. The fund has been a challenge for BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with about $14 trillion in assets, which is expanding aggressively into private credit. BlackRock acquired specialist manager HPS Investment Partners last year for about $12 billion, aiming to significantly expand its existing capabilities and legacy funds, including TCPC. The TCPC fund said in January that it cut the net asset value of its assets by 19%, which sent shares tumbling. The fund has struggled in part due to exposure to e-commerce aggregators - companies that buy and manage Amazon.com Inc. sellers - as well as troubled home improvement company Renovo Home Partners, which filed for bankruptcy. Back in March, we reported that Blackrock slashed the value of one of its private loans from par to 0 in just months, Infinite Commerce Holdings, sparking a selloff in the shares as the market was stunned by how quickly a loan from the world's most iconic asset manager can go from par to 0 in just days. “While we have made meaningful progress, we recognize there is more work to do and we remain f...

Claude正式杀进微软全家桶了。 Anthropic宣布,Claude for Excel、PowerPoint和Word正式全面可用,Claude for Outlook进入公开测试。 也就是说,你现在可以在微软自家的Office里,调用一个来自Anthropic的AI助手,绕过Copilot,直接让Claude来帮你写邮件、改PPT、建Excel模型。 而且这件事是微软亲自允许的,甚至可以说,是微软自己推动的。 这就很有意思了。 微软一边花了真金白银投资OpenAI,把GPT深度嵌入整个Office套件,造出Copilot这个品牌,喊了三年的“AI Copilot重新定义生产力”。 现在它却让竞争对手的模型直接进驻自己的主场。 真就左脑攻击右脑? 显然不是,微软其实在下一盘很大的棋。 01 Claude for Microsoft 365到底是什么? Claude for Microsoft 365是Anthropic做的一套原生加载项,通过Microsoft AppSource分发,安装后就是Word、Excel、PowerPoint、Outlook里的一个侧边栏。 它不是Copilot,也不替代Copilot,是以“第三方加载项”的身份,和Copilot并排存在于同一个Office里。 4个模块各有侧重。 Claude for Excel可以针对任意单元格回答“这是什么”,也可以在不破坏公式的情况下更新假设,还可以从零搭一个财务模型。 Anthropic给了一些客户的使用案例。 ServiceNow的反馈是“Claude直接在Excel里干活,而不是让我们在工具之间倒腾内容”,瑞银的团队用它来搭建和更新覆盖模型,分析师不再需要手动敲框架,可以把精力花在压力测试和情景分析上。 Claude for PowerPoint更有意思,它能读你公司的模板,在模板内生成原生的图表和图示,这样你就不需要自己重新排版了。 它甚至能只修改你选中的那一张slide,并且保持设计风格其他页面。 Claude for Word应该是使用最频繁的。它不仅包含基础的添加新文字,还可以“追踪修订”的方式提交修改,每一处改动都显示在Word原生的审阅面板里,删除是删除线,插入是标红,作者署名“Claude”。 也就是说,你看到的不是AI覆写,而是一个虚拟同事给你提交的一版修订稿。 我直接...

Earnings Call Insights: BKV Corporation (BKV) Q1 2026 Management view "We entered 2026 with strong momentum across the business" and "we continued to strengthen our commercial platform by assuming control of a substantial portion of our gas marketing and trading activities," with CEO Christopher Kalnin saying BKV "expect[s] to fully market our own volumes by mid-2026" (CEO & Director Christopher Kalnin). On the power strategy tied to data centers in ERCOT, Kalnin said BKV "entered into supply agreements to acquire the equipment to provide up to 200 megawatts of generation," described a grid-connected private use network concept that "could potentially support up to 750 megawatts of available capacity," and added BKV "reserved 600 megawatts of CCGT capacity" for a potential Temple III plant that "can be operationalized by the end of the decade" (CEO & Director Kalnin). On CCUS, Kalnin highlighted a commercial milestone: "In April, we commenced commercial sequestration operations at our Cotton Cove carbon capture project," and added BKV expects its carbon-sequestered gas product "to hit the market in the second half of 2026 in partnership with Gunvor" (CEO & Director Kalnin). "We delivered net income of $44 million and adjusted EBITDAX attributable to BKV of $112 million" and "we ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet" with "net debt...$962 million" and "net leverage...2.1x" (Chief Financial Officer David Tameron).

BKV raised its full-year power investment expectation, with Tameron adding: "we now expect Power growth capital and investments to be in the range of $280 million to $340 million for the full year," and said the change is "primarily driven by ongoing negotiations resulting in additional capital related to...
