Unmoulding a jelly and immediately giving it a good wobble is by far the best bit, and makes me giggle every time. Infusing the mixture with fresh bay leaves brings a grownup feel and gentle, earthy notes. While jelly and ice-cream is a classic combination, I love this just with some lightly whipped, unsweetened cream. Continue reading...

South African farming group Karoo Pistachios is ramping up output to capitalize on surging prices and compete with the world’s biggest producers. The nuts — used in ice cream and chocolate — climbed to the highest level in almost a decade this month as the conflict in Iran, the world’s second-largest grower, disrupts supplies in an already constrained market. Read More: Pistachio Prices Hit Eight-Year High on War in Major Grower Iran Growers are betting that climate conditions in the semi-arid Karoo region can turn the region’s newest crop into a viable export industry. The push highlights how geopolitical shocks are reshaping agricultural supply chains, creating incentives for new entrants even in regions historically overlooked for high-value crops. Demand for the nuts has surged in recent years after the introduction of Dubai chocolate —a bar stuffed with pistachio cream — sparked a social-media frenzy . The situation in Iran “helps us: prices are up a lot and many importers are calling about supply chain diversification,” Karoo Pistachios Chief Executive Officer David Muller said in an interview. “We’re looking at holding back product and selling at a slightly higher price later in the year.” Muller’s company, based in the remote town of Prieska in South Africa’s Northern Cape province, is targeting output of as much as 60,000 tons by the end of the next decade, from a paltry 20 tons last year, he said. That would rank South Africa as the fourth-biggest exporter in the world, based on the latest data from the US Department of Agriculture. The Karoo is currently the only region in Africa where pistachios have been proven to grow at scale, according to Muller. Trials in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia have yet to achieve commercial production, leaving South Africa with a potential first-mover advantage. The Northern Cape province and its adjacent Karoo area has a mixture of dry, sunny conditions and low humidity in which nuts thrive. The country already ranks as the wo...

Michael Nosek/iStock via Getty Images Oklo Inc.'s ( OKLO ) investment opportunity stems from a unique combination of technology, business model, and competitive advantages relative to other SMRs. The company has created a vertically integrated SMR with an in-house design for reactors, fuel recycling capabilities, and a behind-the-meter delivery model, which uniquely addresses one of the biggest growth areas in AI compute infrastructure today: access to reliable power. Its unique ability to recycle nuclear fuels enables it to benefit from lower costs compared to using new uranium, potentially providing protection from volatility in the commodity's prices. Additionally, Oklo is able to deploy its reactor in close proximity to customers and avoid long wait times associated with obtaining a connection to the existing utility grid. Given the rapid expected growth rate of AI-powered computing demand, Oklo will be providing clean energy solutions to data center operators for years to come. A second key factor driving early interest in Oklo is the size and quality of the agreements signed by the company with major hyperscaler clients, including Meta, along with large non-binding commitments from Switch and Equinix . While most of this potential capacity does not come with the certainty of a binding PPA agreement, even moderate success (deploying 1–2 GW) could result in hundreds of millions of dollars of high-margin EBITDA for Oklo due to the attractive economics of the business. The company has also established a viable regulatory strategy, which provides a substantial timeline advantage over all other SMR companies. Oklo has chosen to leverage the DOE's Pilot Program instead of pursuing a full license via the NRC, meaning the company will be able to complete construction of its first reactor prior to receiving full commercial licensure. This allows Oklo to begin generating time-sensitive operational data and reduce the risks associated with future deployments. With recent ...

wildpixel/iStock via Getty Images Ucore Rare Metals ( UURAF ) is one of several North American rare earth-related micro-caps—including MP Materials ( MP ), Critical Metals Corp ( CRML ), and USA Rare Earth ( USAR )—now repositioning themselves amid the growing geopolitical conflict between China and the US over the issue of REE access . Over 80,000 US defense components in 1900 weapons are now dependent on REE oxides subject to Chinese licensing controls, with entire missile pulsion and guidance systems pivoting on what element Beijing bureaucrats will allow export. Marginal penny stocks before 2024, these firms are now emerging as key players in the West’s (very belated) effort to make from whole cloth a domestic rare earth supply chain within two years. ( See prior article on this issue ) Founded in 2006, Ucore struggled for 13 years as an E&P company but has since rallied back as a "refining play." Headquartered in Halifax (and listed in the Toronto exchange—UCU:CA), Ucore initially focused on uranium and rare earth mining, but it has recently evolved into a tech innovator in the REE processing space. The firm is far less known than its peers, though it does have several attributes that could position it for later success: A patent-pending separation method. Funding and distribution contracts from the US Department of Defense. A 10-year offtake agreement with Critical Metals Corp. to receive HREEs from its proposed Tanbreez mine, one of the world’s largest REE deposits. Bokan --ownership of one of the highest-grade HREE sites in the United States. At the center of Ucore’s viability is RapidSX, a refining technology that matches the output and quality of traditional solvent extraction but significantly improves speed while reducing environmental impact. The process was built with Western high environmental standards in mind (in contrast with China’s historically cavalier approach). On April 7, the company released a Phase 1 report that touted its superiority compa...

In this article BABA Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT DeepSeek reportedly has not shared its upcoming AI model with American engineers and instead granted early access to Chinese companies, further intensifying the technological war between the U.S. and China, as of Feb. 26, 2026. Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek on Friday released a preview version of its long-awaited V4 large language model, allowing users to test its new capabilities and features. The release comes more than a year after DeepSeek introduced its R1 reasoning model , which rocked global tech markets due to its surprising performance and efficiency, despite reportedly being developed for much lower costs than U.S. rivals. Similar to DeepSeek's previous V3 model, the latest upgrade is open source, allowing developers to download the code, run it locally, and modify it. The Hangzhou-based company claimed that V4 achieves strong performance against domestic competitors, particularly in agent-based tasks, knowledge processing and inference. The company added that DeepSeek-V4 has been optimized for use with popular agent tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenClaw. The model is available in both a "pro" and a "flash" version, depending on size. Founded in 2023, DeepSeek gained attention in late 2024 with its free, open-source V3 model, which it said was trained with less powerful chips and at a fraction of the cost of models built by the likes of OpenAI and Google . Weeks later, in January 2025, it released a reasoning model, R1, that hit similar benchmarks or outperformed many of the world's leading LLMs. The emergence of a globally competitive open-source model raised questions in tech markets about how the scale of spending on AI infrastructure would be impacted. Since then, DeepSeek has released a series of model upgrades, but none have matched the impact of R1. The company now faces growing competition in China's booming AI sec...
