The Good Brigade The world’s most popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs are linked to a powerful new possible benefit: better outcomes for cancer patients. A suite of four new studies suggest that people taking so-called GLP-1 drugs like Novo Nordisk’s ( NVO ) Ozempic and Eli Lilly’s ( LLY ) Mounjaro saw reductions in tumor progression, lower overall chance of death and less risk of developing breast cancer, the WSJ reported. “It’s really provocative that they showed, in several cancers, that people who took these drugs seem to have a lower risk of their cancer returning,” said Dr. Jennifer Ligibel, a breast oncologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute who wasn’t involved in any of the studies, according to the report. One study from researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Cancer Institute tracked more than 10,000 patients with early-stage cancers who started GLP-1 drugs after diagnosis and compared their disease progression to those on a different diabetes medication. Those on GLP-1s were less likely to see their cancer spread. In lung cancer patients, the rate of progression to advanced disease was cut roughly in half—10% in GLP-1 users versus 22% in the comparison group. Breast cancer patients showed a similar pattern, with progression rates of 10% versus 20%. Colorectal and liver cancers also showed statistically significant reductions, the report said. A cancer impact would add to the health benefits that researchers credit to GLP-1 drugs. In addition to reducing blood sugar and spurring weight loss, the medicines are approved for reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and in testing, for helping with sleep apnea and dampening addictive behaviors. The drugs have also turned Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) and Eli Lilly ( LLY ), their makers, into two of the world’s most valuable drug companies. These studies were observational, which differs from research done on drugs to study intended effects. Instead, people in these studies were already taking the drugs for di...

Selhurst Park The problem with predicting a game like this is that both sides are understandably going to make a lot of changes with European finals coming up in the next few days. With the Premier League title won, why wouldn't Mikel Arteta rest a load of players before his side face Paris St-Germain next weekend? The same applies to Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner with his side playing Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday. So, it is going to be Palace reserves versus Arsenal reserves - and some of the Gunners players may still have a hangover. I understand why they wanted to enjoy themselves. I know Alan Shearer famously said he would be celebrating by "creosoting the fence" when we won the title with Blackburn in 1995, but he was the only one of us who went to bed early that night. I am still going to go for an Arsenal win, though, and by their favourite scoreline too - the same one as their past three victories. That was how they got over the line and it won't change now. Sutton's prediction: 0-1 Sam on how Arsenal got over the line this time: For me the big turning point for us was near the start of the season, when we went to Newcastle. I was at St James' Park and Gabriel got our winner with a header in the 96th minute. That was when our mentality changed, because I think in previous seasons we would have lost there or, at the very most, got a draw. The fact we came back from 1-0 down was a real sign of resilience for me. When we lost to City in April, that was the first time I thought we might not win this, but we didn't panic. When we beat West Ham, I felt like we said to City 'you can do what you want but we are always going to grind out a win out of anything'. Declan Rice has been our top player, along with David Raya. Martin Zubimendi has been great in his first season with us as well. There have been unsung heroes too, like Ben White, who has always put his body on the line for us. I honestly don't think we pick up as many points at the end of the season as we...

Meanwhile, Nvidia generated approximately $15.9 billion of other income during the quarter, driven largely by gains from its investment holdings. The company disclosed $2.6 billion of unrealized gains on private investments during the quarter and reported cumulative unrealized gains of $5.3 billion across its non-marketable equity portfolio. By comparison, cumulative unrealized losses and impairments totaled just $199 million. The company did not disclose the names of the private companies behind the investments, leaving investors guessing where exactly Nvidia is placing its bets. What the filing does show is that the company isn’t slowing down. Nvidia reported an additional $27 billion of investment commitments, representing future capital it has agreed to deploy. Nvidia’s $17.9 billion of additions during the quarter works out to nearly $200 million per day, a deployment rate that rivals some of the largest venture capital firms in Silicon Valley. The scale of the increase is remarkable. During the quarter alone, Nvidia deployed $17.9 billion into private companies, helping transform what many investors view as a chipmaker into something that increasingly resembles an AI-focused investment fund. Still Learning the Market? These 50 Must-Know Terms Can Help You Catch Up Fast Buried in the company’s latest Form 10-Q is a striking figure: Nvidia’s non-marketable equity securities—essentially its private-company investments—swelled to $42.3 billion as of April 26, up from $22.3 billion a year earlier. Investors know Nvidia Corp. as the company selling the picks and shovels of the AI gold rush. What Nvidia’s latest quarterly filing reveals, however, is that CEO Jensen Huang is also quietly building one of Silicon Valley’s largest AI investment portfolios.

For all the talk about selling in May and going away, investors would be disappointed if they followed that folksy old market wisdom because, as of May 15, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.17%) is up 2.5% this month. Going beyond that data point, selling in May isn't always good advice, because history shows the fifth month of the year is often kind to stocks. From 2006 to 2025, the S&P 500 closed higher 75%...
For all the talk about selling in May and going away, investors would be disappointed if they followed that folksy old market wisdom because, as of May 15, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.17%) is up 2.5% this month. Going beyond that data point, selling in May isn't always good advice, because history shows the fifth month of the year is often kind to stocks. From 2006 to 2025, the S&P 500 closed higher 75% of the time in May, notching an average gain of 0.8%. That's good enough to rank May among the seven best months in which to own stocks. The point is, some of the most oft-cited seasonal ideas don't bear fruit, and that's particularly true with perceived summer trends. For all the yearly conversation about summer travel potentially boosting some industries, the reality is that only the first days of May are included in one of the best stretches in which to own airline stocks. Likewise, some oil stocks are surprising summertime disappointments. Don't fret because there are plenty of well-known exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have the makings of late-May winners, and some may prove durable deep into the summer. Tech? Yes, tech. All the talk about May kicking off a risk-off period might imply bad news for tech stocks, but the reality is different. In fact, we're smack-dab in the middle of one of the best times of the year in which to own tech equities, and that could bode well for the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM +0.20%). As its name implies, this $91.4 billion ETF, the lower-cost alternative to the Invesco QQQ (QQQ +0.20%), tracks the Nasdaq-100. Due in part to significant overlap with the S&P 500, the Nasdaq-100 also performs well in May, posting an average gain of 1.6% in the fifth month of the year over the past two decades.

Key Points You can claim Social Security based on your spouse's work history if you were married for at least 10 years. You can't receive spousal benefits from your ex-spouse if you remarry. Claiming spousal benefits before your full retirement age will reduce how much you're eligible to receive. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Divorces can disrupt many parts of people's lives, including their finances. This is particularly true for retirement planning. Although you'll most likely need to revamp your retirement strategy after a divorce, one silver lining is that you could still be eligible for a higher Social Security benefit. Your career earnings largely determine your Social Security benefit, but Social Security offers spousal benefits that allow you to claim benefits based on your partner's work record. And you don't need to be married right now, either. Divorcees are also eligible for spousal benefits. Here's what you should know about them in 2026. 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 » Who is eligible to receive divorced spousal benefits? To claim spousal benefits as a divorcee, you must have been married to your ex-spouse for at least 10 consecutive years before divorcing. Anything short of 10 automatically disqualifies you. If you were married to someone, divorced, and then remarried them within a calendar year, Social Security may combine the time. Your ex-spouse's relationship status doesn't matter, but if you're planning to claim spousal benefits as a divorcee, you must currently be unmarried. If you remarry while collecting the benefits, you'll lose the right to the benefits based on your ex-spouse's work record and must claim based on your new spouse's work record or your own. And don't worry if you're not in contact with your ex-spouse; ...

「Attention Is All You Need」，正是这篇著名的论文，催生了今天所有的大模型。 5月20日，该论文的一位共同作者Aidan Gomez，在X上宣布推出首个完全开源的Apache 2.0许可的模型：Cohere Command A+。 Gomez是前谷歌研究员，如今是Cohere的联合创始人兼CEO。 Command A+是Command A家族的最后一个模型，也是Cohere的第一个MoE（混合专家）模型。218B总参数，25B激活参数：一次性把视觉输入、推理、翻译和AI智能体能力，全部塞进了同一个模型。 最低部署配置：1张NVIDIA B200，或者2张H100。许可证：Apache 2.0。 https://cohere.com/blog/command-a-plus 据VentureBeat报道，这是Cohere历史上第一个真正可商用的开源旗舰。联合创始人Nick Frosst称它是「我们发过最好的模型」。 2180亿参数，每次干活的只有250亿 2180亿参数，听起来就是个吞算力的巨兽。但Command A+每次生成，真正被激活的只有250亿参数。 这正是MoE架构的精髓。 一个MoE模型，会将进来的问题只路由给最擅长处理它的那几个「专家」神经网络，其余部分保持休眠。这样的设计，既让模型保留了「巨头级」的知识储备和推理能力，但运行时的算力和能耗，却接近一个小得多的模型。 VentureBeat报道，据第三方观察估计，OpenAI的GPT-5.5、Anthropic的Claude Opus 4.7参数量都在万亿级别，而Command A+每次激活的参数只有250亿。 靠MoE省算力，如今是大多数头部模型的惯常做法。但Cohere在这个基础上又叠了第二层压缩：量化。 Command A+提供BF16、FP8和高度压缩的W4A4三种版本，其中W4A4是这次发布的技术核心。 通常，推理模型一旦被压缩，复杂问题上的表现会肉眼可见地退步，业内称之为「量化税」。 Cohere的做法，是只将MoE专家压到4-bit，关键的注意力通路保留全精度，再叠加一项叫量化感知蒸馏（Quantization-Aware Distillation）的技术。 Cohere称其W4A4量化方案接近无损。据Cohere发布的性能数据显示，W4A4版本在低并发下达到每秒375...

Two companies planning major share sales in Europe are considering pushing back the launches of their deals to avoid the expected market melee around SpaceX ’s record initial public offering in the US. German satellite group OHB SE and Franco-German tankmaker KNDS NV were planning to kick off their offerings on June 12, people familiar with the matter said. That’s the same day SpaceX is penciled in to go public. OHB and KNDS are now rethinking this date because of concerns that investors will be too focused on the listing of Elon Musk ’s space exploration and artificial intelligence company — which is expected to be the biggest IPO of all time — according to the people. Read More: SpaceX IPO Requires a Leap of Faith in AI, Musk and Mars Any delays would only be short, the people said, as both OHB and KNDS are still keen to wrap up their share sales before markets effectively close to new deals for the summer. OHB is owned by its founding Fuchs family and private equity firm KKR & Co. KNDS is controlled by the French state and German family owners. No final decisions have been made and the companies could still decide to proceed with their original plans, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. Representatives for OHB, KNDS and their owners declined to comment. SpaceX this week filed publicly for a US IPO valuing it at around $2 trillion. Some dealmakers in Europe have already expressed concern that the giant offering may sap some of the money that could be put into other offerings. Bloomberg News has reported that OHB expects to raise more than €1 billion ($1.2 billion) from a so-called re-IPO aimed at increasing its free float. OHB could also benefit from the SpaceX IPO as a potential home for any investors that miss out on the larger listing, the people said. Advisers to KNDS, meanwhile, recently revised their forecast for the company’s market value at IPO to €18 billion to €20 billion. That’s down from an earlier figure o...
