Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) unveiled its latest AI model Claude Opus 4.7, which is now generally available. The company said that Opus 4.7 is a notable improvement on Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with particular gains on the most difficult tasks. Opus 4.7 handles complex, long-running tasks with rigor and consistency, pays precise attention to instructions, and devises ways to verify its own outputs before reporting back, according to the company. However, Anthropic noted that Opus 4.7 is less capable than its most powerful model Claude Mythos Preview, which the company is discussing with the Trump administration despite a legal tussle between the two after a blacklisting. "The model also has substantially better vision: it can see images in greater resolution. It’s more tasteful and creative when completing professional tasks, producing higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs. And—although it is less broadly capable than our most powerful model, Claude Mythos Preview—it shows better results than Opus 4.6 across a range of benchmarks," said the company on Thursday. The AI tech giant noted that it has kept Claude Mythos Preview’s release limited and plans to test new cyber safeguards on less capable models first, with Opus 4.7 being the first such model. "We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses," said the company. Opus 4.7 is available today across all Claude products and the company's API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry. Pricing remains the same as Opus 4.6: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, the company added. Last week, Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a general-purpose frontier model, which the company called its "most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks. Its strength in cybersecurity is a direct result of that broader capability: a model that can deeply understand and modify ...

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images The year started off much like the second half of 2025, with most stocks going up and caution being penalized. February brought a market that was best described as “weird” with multiple, large sector wide moves driven by themes like perceived AI winners and losers. Then the Iran War and growing systemic private credit risk complicated matters more. We lagged the market to start the quarter but performed better relatively as “weird” turned to “bad.” We continue to look very different than and often at odds with the Russell 2000 index, as has been the case for much of the last two plus years. That will not always be bad for relative returns like it has been over the last twelve months during what has continued to be a lower quality rally as we have written about before.

(This is The Best Stocks in the Market , brought to you by Josh Brown and Sean Russo of Ritholtz Wealth Management.) Josh — Look at this masterpiece… I'm showing it to you as a simple line chart without any technical indicators or trendlines to point out how simple it can be when you buy a breakout out of a multiyear consolidation. Caterpillar (CAT) shook off years of sideways churn and slow-and-steady advances to become an absolute beauty. They should be calling this company Butterfly now. CAT broke out last July as enthusiasm for its power business became part of the AI bull market on Wall Street. And once it took off, it never looked back. This name has not even been near its rising 200-day moving average ever since, despite the pullbacks and volatility in the stock market. This was a one-decision stock that hasn't forced you to reconsider ever since the breakout. If only they all could do this. We haven't gotten around to writing about CAT despite it being on our list for the last 10 months. Today, we're going to fix that. Best Stock Spotlight: Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT) Sean — Caterpillar's equipment is easy to spot. Their brand is synonymous with the yellow colored equipment you see on the side of the road across the U.S. They actually have their own yellow, called Caterpillar Yellow, which was introduced in 1979 for higher visibility and better brand alignment. You may remember this is a similar story to Deere , which we wrote about first here on June 5. DE is up 13% since that first write up, and it has been a rough ride. The stock was kicked off the list in the fall of 2025, traded sideways through year end, and was added back as things picked up in 2026. In hindsight, we should have written about CAT. From the date of when we wrote about DE in June of 2025, Caterpillar is up 120%. The entire industry that both CAT and DE reside in has been ripping. The Machinery industry within the industrial sector group is home to these two companies, along with stocks like...

Trump Signs Pipeline Permits To Boost US–Canada Oil Flow Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times, President Donald Trump issued several pipeline permits on April 15, including one for the construction of a new pipeline to facilitate the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products between the United States and Canada, according to documents released by the White House. The action covers four permits in total. The permit authorizing construction was issued to the Bakken Pipeline Company LP for pipeline facilities in Burke County, North Dakota. Other permits were issued for the maintenance and operation of existing pipelines at border locations in North Dakota and Michigan. The recipients of those operational permits are “Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership” and “Enbridge Pipelines (Southern Lights) L.L.C.”—both indirect subsidiaries of Canadian pipeline giant Enbridge Inc. According to the White House documents, the permits cover transport of crude oil and petroleum products of every description—refined and unrefined—including naphtha, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas liquids, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel. The permits explicitly exclude natural gas subject to the Natural Gas Act. Wednesday’s permits reflect the administration’s sweeping effort to expand America’s domestic and cross-border energy infrastructure. At the CERAWeek energy conference March 2025 in Houston, Energy Secretary Chris Wright had said that Trump’s pledge to lower energy costs by boosting oil and natural gas production would require a corresponding increase in infrastructure investment. “If ‘Drill, baby, drill’ is to [lower energy costs], we’re going to have to ‘Build, baby, build,’” Wright told reporters. The Enbridge permits issued Wednesday supersede authorizations dating to 1991, 1994, and 2008, effectively reissuing and consolidating federal approval under the current administration. The cross-border pipeline landscape has grown increasingly complex in recent ye...

pidjoe The Trump administration plans to preserve billions of dollars in funding previously awarded by the Biden administration for hydrogen ventures and other projects backed by companies such as Exxon Mobil ( XOM ), Chevron ( CVX ), Exelon ( EXC ), EQT ( EQT ), and Bloom Energy ( BE ), Bloomberg reported Thursday. Also reportedly revived were a pair of direct-air capture projects that had been selected by the Biden administration to split $1.2B, one from Occidental Petroleum ( OXY ) and another from Climeworks AG and Heirloom Carbon Technologies. Funding for an Indiana cement plant that will incorporate carbon-capture technology and led by Heidelberg Materials' ( HDLMY ) ( HLBZF ) North American subsidiary also was reinstated, according to the report . Bloomberg cited a 39-page list from the U.S. Department of Energy that was provided to House Appropriations Committee members and details ~2,000 funding awards the agency plans to "retain or modify."
