Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek ’s latest flagship model has been ranked as one of the world’s best on an intelligence-per-dollar basis, far exceeding those from US heavyweights OpenAI and Anthropic in cost-efficiency after a 75 per cent promotional price cut was made permanent. The Hangzhou-based start-up announced the permanent price cut for its V4 Pro model on Saturday, a month after it released the long-awaited V4 generation , which comprises the flagship V4 Pro model and its lighter variant, V4 Flash. The move reflects how Chinese companies are competing in the global AI race through a different approach from their US counterparts, which offer cutting-edge model capabilities at premium prices. Advertisement According to third-party benchmark firm Artificial Analysis, the price cut places V4 Pro at the global frontier for cost-efficiency, based on an assessment of the amount of “intelligence” one can extract per dollar. Amid a global compute supply crunch that has pushed up prices for the most advanced models, the bang-for-the-buck method of comparing different AI models – as opposed to ranking their raw intelligence – has gained popularity in recent months. Advertisement DeepSeek’s official application programming interface (API) price for V4 Pro is now as low as US$0.0036 per 1 million cached input tokens, and US$0.87 per 1 million output tokens.

Images of sparse meals aboard naval vessels deployed in the United States’ war on Iran are a reminder that keeping military forces supplied with adequate food has been a problem for thousands of years. The photos came to light after a crew member from the USS Abraham Lincoln shared them with family in the US, sparking a dispute between personnel, their families and the Pentagon, along with complaints about inadequate food, despite official claims of more than 30 days’ supply on board. Meanwhile, according to a report published by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily on May 11, the People’s Armed Police Qinghai Corps in northwest China has turned to artificial intelligence for a solution. One of the images reportedly shared by a crew member from the USS Abraham Lincoln that prompted questions in the US about the adequacy of its military catering. Photo: Handout An integrated digital platform was developed that included an AI food monitoring system which focused on granular control with every ingredient weighed, every inspection recorded and every transaction stored in a secure military cloud, the article said. Advertisement Its most striking feature was an intelligent recognition scale built for military kitchens and food inspections, it said. When ingredients are placed on the scale, on-board cameras identify food categories while recording weight, photographs and video footage. All data is instantly uploaded to cloud servers, creating a traceable record of procurement and inspection procedures. Advertisement Supervisors located more than 500km (311 miles) away can remotely inspect daily food purchases, review acceptance records and replay the entire inspection process in real time, according to the article. The platform tried to make every stage of food management visible, archived and remotely auditable, with six main sections and 56 modules that combined logistics, attendance, military training and personnel administration, it said.

In this article PEP BUD BUD Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Surfside drinks on display at the trade show during CinemaCon 2026 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on April 15, 2026. Travis P Ball | AP About a decade ago, sales of LaCroix began to skyrocket. Soon, flavored seltzers were everywhere, from grocery store refrigerators to liquor store shelves. But the era of bubbles looks like it is winding down, thanks to seltzer fatigue. Now, non-carbonated drinks, from Liquid Death to Surfside Iced Teas, are taking the spotlight. "If you think about where there's more growth, where there's more consumer interest relative to a few years ago, it's a shift more to still, across both [alcohol] and non-alc," said Randy Burt, Americas director of consumer products at consulting firm AlixPartners. That's not to say seltzers and other carbonated beverages will disappear. But their growth has slowed, as Generation Z increasingly seeks out options without bubbles and beverage companies focus more of their innovation efforts on fizz-free drinks. Look no further than the alcohol category. Malt-based hard seltzers, which includes White Claw, saw volume drop 1.1% in the 52 weeks ended April 26, compared with the year-ago period, according to data from market research firm Circana . On the other hand, ready-to-drink premixed cocktails saw volume grow 46.4% in the same time, fueled by growth from Surfside, Sun Cruiser, BuzzBallz and Anheuser-Busch InBev's Cutwater Spirits, which has both carbonated and non-carbonated options. Bursting bubbles Much of the driving force behind the switch from bubbly to noncarbonated drinks is coming from Gen Z, which is typically defined as people born between 1997 and 2012. Over their lifetime, soda consumption has dropped dramatically from its peak in 1998, reusable water bottles have become a staple accessory, and a plethora of new drinks like refreshers and dirty soda have gone mainstream. Broadly, Gen Z wants to try new products. While o...

Tom Harwood/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored by Kody's Dividends It's commonly said that there are two ways to view money, especially when it comes to one's personal finances. For some, they view money as a limited resource. They try to save, protect, and hoard it as much as possible, creating a reservoir of cash. For others, they view money as a river. It is a constantly flowing source that they can continually dip their hands into as needed because more is doubtlessly going to come. Both types of people can run into major problems and financial needs. The scrimper may find it difficult to spend their money to buy quality goods that will save them money over the long term because of sticker shock. On the other hand, the one who views money as a river may find themselves in a position that requires them to output more money than they have at any given moment because the river slows down during a drought or dry season. Money and water frequently go together when we're illustrating things because water is a necessary resource for your day-to-day life. Let that lead you to the fact that there are also many investments that exist surrounding water that can provide you with high-quality returns. In our Dividend Kings' Model Portfolio, we have held water utilities in the past and benefited tremendously from the double-digit returns they provided us. We publicly cover multiple different water utilities or water-based investments because they provide strong cash flow to you in the form of dividends from the cash flow they generate. Today, I want to look at another avenue to turn blue, crystal-clear water into beautiful green cash flow. Let's dive in!

HAKINMHAN/iStock via Getty Images High-Yield Stocks Built for Volatile Markets The market and economic backdrop have become increasingly difficult for investors seeking consistency and direction. Stocks have entered a moderately volatile and directionless environment as inflationary pressures have accelerated, with oil prices remaining stubbornly in a tight range around $100 per barrel. Recent Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index readings have also come in hotter than expected and won’t likely retreat in the near term, contributing to fears of higher-for-longer interest rates. Meanwhile, Treasury yields have climbed to multi-year highs , increasing downside pressure on growth equities, while geopolitical uncertainty in Iran and upcoming midterm elections complicate the macro backdrop. US 10-Yr Treasury Hits Highest Mark in Over a Year US 10-Yr Treasury Hits Highest Mark in Over a Year (Seeking Alpha) Against this backdrop, income-producing investments may offer investors an opportunity to attract solid cash flow while waiting for market conditions to normalize. For investors wanting to avoid chasing momentum in an uncertain environment, they can benefit from a selective focus on diversified Quant Strong Buy stocks offering yields above 5%, supported by strong cash flows and shareholder-friendly capital distribution strategies. These high-yield opportunities stand out as potential candidates for income-seeking investors looking to get paid to wait while navigating what could be a volatile market environment in the coming weeks and months.

Igor Barilo/iStock via Getty Images In early February of this year, I wrote an article talking about the plunge that gold and oil prices saw as political and economic tensions started to ease. Gold and silver, especially gold, have historically been viewed as a barometer of global geopolitical and economic risk. So even though it's unfortunate to see prices decline if you own those precious metals or stocks that benefit from them, it generally is good for the economy if prices do pull back. Since then, a lot has transpired. In late February, the US launched a war against Iran. That is probably the single largest geopolitical issue. But on top of this, the economic climate continues to show signs of weakness and now we are looking like we are almost certainly heading into a stagflationary recession. Just the other day, I pointed out how the market also looks overvalued. And when you add all of this together, the picture could get rather nasty. I find it odd, then, that since the war against Iran has started, gold prices have plummeted. You would think that they would appreciate it. Some of this could be attributable to the fact that, even after this plunge, gold prices are up drastically since the start of 2025. Some of this could certainly be profit taking. But when you look at the broader structural issues that exist, I would contend that the market might be underweighting the prospect of prices climbing further. Seismic shifts in gold demand Data by YCharts Right now, times are peculiar when it comes to the gold market. If you had told me the day before the US attacked Iran that gold prices would be down 13.9% after the fact, I would have thought you were crazy. If anything, I would have predicted a material rise in prices. And yet, here we are, with prices trading lower. This is not to say that gold has been bearish in recent memory. Since the start of 2025, gold prices have risen an astounding 73.1%. This reflects multiple issues , including tariffs that have in...

How it started Hacking the first generation of AI chatbots was a laughably simple affair. You didn’t need any technical know-how, backdoor access, or even a basic understanding of what a large language model was. You didn’t need to code. To get an AI system that had cost billions to build to abandon its safety instructions, sometimes all you had to do was ask. These attacks, known as jailbreaks, had the quality of a young child successfully outwitting an adult: Forget what you were told earlier, pretend the rules don’t apply, or let’s play a game and I’ll decide what’s allowed (hint: later bedtime, more sweets). The prizes were less childlike, more along the lines of meth recipes, malware instructions, and bomb-making guides. One of the earliest jailbreaks was so ridiculous it became a meme: reply to an LLM-powered Twitter bot telling it to “ignore all previous instructions,” or something similar, and see what happens. Users gleefully had bots — originally built to post ads and farm engagement — writing poetry, drawing pictures from punctuation, and posting grim non sequiturs about world events and history. It was chaos. Glorious chaos. Turns out the same logic could be applied to chatbots themselves. A prominent exploit was “DAN,” short for “Do Anything Now,” where users asked ChatGPT to roleplay as a rogue AI that was free of the constraints binding the original. As DAN, the chatbot could be coaxed into saying the kinds of things its guardrails were meant to stop, including slurs and conspiracy th...

Religious leaders, lawmakers push for $1 billion to secure houses of worship toggle caption Photo courtesy of the Jewish Federations of North America At a recent Shabbat service in West Bloomfield, Mich., Rabbi Jen Lader shared plans to lobby Congress to pour more funding into a federal program that strengthens security at houses of worship. "We are not asking Congress to just protect Jews – we are asking Congress to protect every community of Americans that gathers to pray. And we are asking with the full weight of what we have just lived through behind us," she said, referencing the March attack on her congregation of Temple Israel. The fact that no one was killed other than the attacker is a credit, Lader said, to their security personnel and rigorous staff training. Sponsor Message "If we had not had those resources and that funding, this would have been a really different story," she told NPR. "And we cannot allow a single other community to experience something as horrific as we've experienced, knowing that there were resources that could have gone into saving lives." Lader and over 400 other Jewish leaders travelled to D.C. this week to push for an increase in funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), which awards funding to nonprofits to enhance security – from installing door locks and security cameras to erecting bollards to prevent vehicles from crashing into buildings. "It's tragic that we have to be thinking about this in the same way that TSA protects airports and businesses protect their premises, but we have to," said Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, the group leading the lobbying effort this week. The advocacy push on Capitol Hill happened to come just one day after two teenagers attacked a San Diego mosque , killing three men and themselves. "It's one of those moments where you think, is this going to happen to us? Is it a matter of when or if?" said Fadi Hammami, co-president of the Islam...

(Photo by Vladyslav MUSIENKO / AFP via Getty Images) Vladyslav Musienko | Afp | Getty Images Russia pounded Kyiv and surrounding areas with hundreds of drones and missiles on Sunday in one of the heaviest bombardments of the city since the start of the four-year war, firing an Oreshnik hypersonic missile near the capital. Russia's hours-long overnight barrage killed four people and wounded more than 80, according to Ukrainian officials, and officials said dozens of residential buildings and several schools had been damaged. "It was a terrible night for Kyiv," Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a Telegram message from the site of one attack. "Right now, rescuers are putting out fires and clearing debris. Medics are providing assistance to the victims." Nuclear-capable Oreshnik It was only the third time that Russia has used the Oreshnik missile against Ukraine since the war began with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Oreshnik has a range of several thousand kilometers and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The previous two strikes had hit major cities, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this one had struck Bila Tserkva, a city of 200,000 people that lies about 40 miles (64 km) from the outskirts of Kyiv. In total, the air force said, Russia launched 90 missiles and 600 drones. "It's important that this does not remain without consequences for Russia," Zelenskyy said on the Telegram messaging app. "Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others."

Greg Abel has been with Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA +1.48%)(BRKB +1.32%) for 26 years, since the holding company acquired MidAmerican Energy. He rose through the company's ranks and was hand-picked by Warren Buffett to take over when he retired, and that happened earlier this year. Although he's been CEO of Berkshire Hathaway for several months, the 2026 first quarter was his first in the top position. The first-quarter 13F Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing reporting the company's positions gives investors a glimpse into how Abel is managing its $330 billion equity portfolio. Abel has put his clear imprint on the portfolio, although he hasn't departed radically from Buffett's style. There were several notable changes, including new positions in Delta Airlines and Macy's and a tripling of the position in Alphabet. Also notable was that Abel sold out of 16 positions. There had been prior reports that he'd sold out of the positions managed by former investing manager Todd Combs, and Abel had also let shareholders know in his first annual report back in February that he would focus on a concentrated group of high-conviction stocks. All the stocks Berkshire Hathaway sold Abel and his team sold out of the following stocks in the first quarter: Allegion Amazon Aon Atlanta Braves Holdings Charter Communications Diageo Domino's Pizza Heico Lamar Advertising Liberty Latin America Series A Liberty Latin America Series C Liberty Formula 1 Mastercard Pool Corp. UnitedHealth Group Visa These were all smaller positions, including newer holdings like UnitedHealth and Heico as well as stocks that had been in the portfolio for years, such as Visa and Mastercard. The largest position was Visa, which had been 1.1% of the portfolio before the sell-off. It's still Berkshire Hathaway Not including investments in Japan, the portfolio is left with 29 positions. These include Buffett's favorite stocks: Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola, the top three positions, plus Moody's, ...

Key Points Stanley Druckenmiller first bought Nvidia stock in late 2022, but later unloaded his position after the stock's first explosive run. During the first quarter of 2026, Druckenmiller bought shares of Broadcom, Intel, and Arm Holdings. These moves signal that Druckenmiller sees value beyond GPUs as investment in AI infrastructure and inference accelerate. 10 stocks we like better than Intel › Stanley Druckenmiller's moves have been particularly telling throughout the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. After initiating a position in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) during the early generative AI surge, the billionaire money manager fully exited the position by late 2024. During the first quarter of 2026, his Duquesne Family Office initiated new stakes in Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), and Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM). This is no random reshuffling. These decisions reflect a deliberate bet that a new layer within the AI chip stack is emerging -- moving away from Nvidia's general-purpose training GPUs (graphic processing units) and shifting toward greater adoption of custom silicon and central processing units (CPUs). Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Why did Stanley Druckenmiller sell Nvidia stock? Druckenmiller bought 582,915 shares of Nvidia during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the quarters that followed, he traded around Nvidia as the rise of ChatGPT sparked an AI frenzy featuring the chipmaker's indispensable GPUs. Between ChatGPT's commercial launch (Nov. 30, 2022) and the end of the third quarter of 2024, Nvidia stock had risen more than 600%, eventually becoming the world's most valuable company. Even to a bull like Druckenmiller, this appeared as a clear example of extreme valuation expansion. Liquidating his position was a prudent demonstration of portfol...
