Shares of Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) , which makes data infrastructure semiconductors, soared 66.7% in April, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence . This is simply an amazing performance for a large-cap stock (market cap over $10 billion). (In the first three trading days of May through May 5, Marvell stock is up 2.2%.) For context, in April, the S&P 500 index returned 10.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index returned 15.3%. Artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks -- a group that includes Marvell -- had a particularly good month overall. So, Marvell stock got a robust tailwind from the market's strength and the bullish sentiment surrounding the AI space. However, the company also had company-specific good news. Continue reading

OpenAI updated the default model for ChatGPT to its new GPT-5.5 Instant, along with a new memory capability that finally shows which context shaped responses — at least some of them. This limitation signals that models are starting to create a second, incomplete memory observability layer that could conflict with existing audit systems and agent logs. GPT-5.5 Instant replaces GPT-5.3 Instant as the default ChatGPT model and is a version of its new flagship GPT-5.5 LLM . It’s supposed to be more dependable, accurate and smarter than 5.3. But it’s the introduction of memory sources, which will be enabled across all models in the platform, that could help enterprises in their projects. “When a response is personalized, you can see what context was used, such as saved memories or past chats, and delete or correct it if something is outdated or no longer relevant,” OpenAI said in a blog post . When a user asks ChatGPT something, users can tap the sources button (at the bottom of the response) to see which files or past chats the model tapped to find the answer. Users also have full control over the sources models can cite, and these sources will not be shared if the conversation is sent to others. The company said memory sources should make it easier to personalize model responses. Still, OpenAI admitted that the models “may not show every factor that shaped an answer” and promised to make the capability more comprehensive over time. What this means is that memory sources offer a semblance of observability in ChatGPT answers, but not full auditability yet. Competing memory systems Enterprises have a system in place to solve part of the memory and context problem with models and agents. Models are exposed to context through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines; whatever the agent fetches from the vector databases is logged, and the agent's state is stored in a memory layer. All of this is tracked in application logs, usually in an orchestration or management lay...

Vessels in the Strait of Hormuz near Bandar Abbas, Iran, May 4, 2026. Amirhosein Khorgooi | ISNA | WANA | Via Reuters President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is pausing " Project Freedom ," the U.S. military's effort to guide commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, one day after the operation began. Trump, in a Truth Social post , said the decision was based in part on "the fact that Great Progress has been made toward a Complete and Final Agreement" with Iran. Project Freedom "will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed," Trump wrote. Stock futures rose following Trump's announcement, which raised hopes for a peace agreement that would end the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran and reopen the economically vital strait.
