Anthropic is gaining ground with consumers, potentially giving the company some much-needed support during its standoff with the Pentagon. But first… Three things to know: • Anthropic nears $20 billion revenue run rate amid Pentagon feud • Altman tells staff OpenAI has no say over Pentagon decisions • US military relying on AI as key tool to speed Iran operations Claude’s consumer moment Throughout this year, Anthropic has been making inroads with everyday users. Two of its products gained viral attention for helping people streamline more tasks. The startup also reached a wider audience with a Super Bowl commercial positioning its Claude chatbot as an ad-free alternative to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Now, the company’s standoff with the Pentagon over AI safeguards has turned it into a folk hero of sorts for a certain portion of the population. As a result, Anthropic’s traction with consumers is accelerating at precisely the moment when its core business — selling AI services to corporate customers — faces new uncertainty from the federal agency’s threat to deem it a supply-chain risk. Over the weekend, Claude surpassed ChatGPT to become the top downloaded free app in the Apple App Store. Days later, it topped the Google Play app store, too. The traffic was high enough that Anthropic struggled to keep its consumer-facing applications up and running early in the week. Anthropic said daily signups have quadrupled since the start of the year, with Monday being its strongest day ever. The number of free active users has surged by more than 60% since the beginning of the year, the company said. Third-party estimates from data firm Apptopia found Claude downloads were up 220% on Tuesday compared with Feb. 23. Meanwhile, some users raced to delete ChatGPT after OpenAI struck its own deal with the Pentagon. ChatGPT uninstalls jumped nearly 300% on Saturday from the day prior, according to Kara Lee, an analyst at market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. Still, Claude’s audience remains...

After only four months in Cambodia, Chen Xian Jin reckons he can spot a scam manager when he sees one. Unlike other Chinese businessmen, they avoid flashy cars and jewelry and keep a low profile. They come, at dusk, to the food stall Chen runs with his brother in Phnom Penh. Chen also runs deliveries, and despite the recent scam center crackdowns, he’s still sending plastic bags of pork and rice to his regular customers in the high building at the end of the street where the lights stay on at night. Another vendor who sells young coconuts from a cart nearby said his takings fell after there were raids in the area but already things are picking back up. Turns out, stopping scammers is tricky business. All over Phnom Penh, now awash with KTV lounges and Chinese eateries, evidence of the ferocious clampdown on the scam centers that have become synonymous with Cambodia and its neighbor, Myanmar, is apparent. Buildings emptied or reduced to rubble, workers clutching meagre bags of belongings wandering the streets after their Chinese bosses unlocked the gates and abruptly told them to get out. They gather in groups outside their embassies, on the grass near the Mekong River during early evening and when night falls, in the cheap back street cafes and bars of Phnom Penh. Cambodia's government is facing intense pressure to act, from its economic ally China, from the US and from countries like South Korea, which are tired of their citizens unwittingly handing over billions of dollars each year having been lured by the promise of romance, a path out of loneliness or a way to get rich quick. Simmering tensions with Thailand, which has bombed what it said were scam sites just over the border inside Cambodia, have added to the squeeze. Yet when Bloomberg News visited and talked with escapees, with the vendors who make money providing services to scam farms, and with officials and activists monitoring Cambodia’s actions, most conversations suggested these operations are simply to...

Pokémon Pokopia features, of all things, a 3D printer. I wasn’t sure why this surprised me so much, given all the other high-tech gear in pretty much every Pokémon game. But I was not expecting to find, inside the once-crumbling Pokémon Center I’d just worked hard to restore, a kind of machine I’d never seen before. Until Pokopia, I hadn’t spent much time thinking about tech in the Pokémon world. I’ve been Pokémon-pilled for so long that I took all its sci-fi technology for granted. Sure, there are magic PCs that can digitally store living creatures — that’s how it’s always been. Obviously fossils can be resurrected and obviously sometimes pokémon can travel through time. These are just facts. The power of science is amazing. Pokopia is different. In this world, humans are long gone, and pokémon are slowly repopulating the ruins left in their wake. Here, technology is not guaranteed to work. Climate change has led to widespread environmental disasters, and as a result, pokémon have been safely stored in PCs for some time. But a collectible journal entry reveals that the PC storage system can’t keep working without regular maintenance, and it seems that explains what’s been happening: The pokémon are showing up now because the storage system has finally failed. That fallibility made me pay closer attention to the technology in Pokopia — and see the high-tech world of Pokémon in a new light. Image: The Pokémon Company, Nintendo There is still a lot of sci-fi and fantasy in Pokopia, in more than a few ways. (Least among them: The PC outside the dilapidated Pokémon Center, which is not for storing pokémon but for tracking your restoration efforts in the surrounding area, still works somehow.) But ordinary, real-life objects you can find throughout the world — lamps, TVs, vending machines, arcade cabinets — often need electricity to work, and more of it than electric-type pokémon can reasonably provide on their own. That means building some significant power infrastructu...

The conflict with Iran has underscored the limitations of relying on existing high-end air defense systems against sustained waves of cheaper enemy missiles, drones and guided bombs, the chief strategy officer of defense technology company Anduril Industries Inc. said. “We need to think through an entirely different way of defending our airspace,” Christian Brose said in an interview in Tokyo. “That’s something that we’re now starting to really get our minds around.” While the US says it has struck more than 2,000 targets in a conflict it launched alongside Israel on Saturday, Iran has responded with air attacks on US bases, energy infrastructure and civilian buildings across the Middle East. The US estimates that Iran has fired more than 2,500 projectiles since the start of the conflict, the vast majority of them drones. US-made Patriot air-defense missiles have shot down the bulk of Iranian projectiles, but enough have made it past defenses to wreak havoc in the region. If the war drags on, a challenge for the US and its regional allies will be to ensure they have sufficient stocks of Patriot interceptor missiles, which cost millions of dollars each. Brose said the war was reinforcing lessons from other recent conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, about the importance of building multi-layered air defenses that can counter an adversary armed with large volumes of missiles and drones. “In addition to these very exquisite and very expensive weapons that we’re going to continue to rely upon, we’re just going to have to build a different class of air defense system and air defense interceptor that’s lower cost and faster to produce,” Brose said. Anduril is developing systems to defend against drones and other aerial threats. In 2024, the Pentagon awarded the company a $250 million contract to deliver around 500 reusable Roadrunner vertical takeoff drone interceptors. “We’re putting an enormous amount of investment in terms of not just the air defense w...

On the 190th anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo, Nasdaq convened leaders at one of America's most iconic landmarks to ring the closing bell and celebrate the official launch of Nasdaq Texas — the exchange's new dual-listing venue in the Lone Star State. The remote bell ceremony, held in front of the Alamo in San Antonio, brought together Nasdaq leadership, Texas state officials, and the first cohort of companies to dual-list on the new venue. Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones attended the event, underscoring the level of bipartisan political support behind Texas's growing importance as a center of capital formation. Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman framed the occasion as a natural meeting of two storied legacies. "Texas has long represented what it means to be bold. To take risks. To build. To lead," she said. "That spirit mirrors Nasdaq's own story. We were founded to challenge convention, to modernize markets and expand access to capital for innovators who shape the future." In order to operationalize its new venue, Nasdaq reincorporated its Nasdaq BX exchange to Texas, making Nasdaq Texas not just operationally active but legally domiciled in the state. Dual listing on Nasdaq Texas allows companies to align with Texas’ business environment while allowing access to deep liquidity, global investors, and the ability to benefit from advanced market technology. Rachel Racz, Nasdaq Senior Vice President and Head of Listings for Texas, Central & Southern U.S., and Latin America, said, “Nasdaq is here because we believe the independent spirit of this state deserves direct access to global capital and global opportunity.” Six companies joined Friedman at the bell, representing a cross-section of industrial and economic breadth: J.B. Hunt Transportation Services, Huntington Bancshares, ProFrac Services, Firefly Aerospace, Construction Partners, and Apache Corporation. Nasdaq itself also announced it will dual-list on...

CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. ’s plans to sell its suite of global ports are at an impasse a year after the deal was announced, with hopes now pinned on an upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to yield a political breakthrough. Talks with the buyer consortium, which includes BlackRock Inc. , Italian billionaire Gianluigi Aponte ’s Terminal Investment Ltd. and state-owned China Cosco Shipping Corp. , made little progress in recent months, though the deal is not dead, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. CK Hutchison, BlackRock, Cosco and the Aponte family’s MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co. , which controls Terminal Investment, didn’t respond to requests for comment. The parties hope the planned summit between the US and Chinese leaders will yield a political breakthrough that will pave the way for the sale’s completion, the people said. But there’s no guarantee that the transaction will be prioritized for discussion during Trump’s visit to Beijing between March 31 and April 2, they said. It’s a bleak outlook for CK Hutchison, which a year ago had expected to receive more than $19 billion in cash for the group of 43 ports, including two strategically-important ones along the Panama Canal. The Hong Kong conglomerate has instead become a prime example of how geopolitics now shapes the fate of multi-national companies, as private assets become diplomatic bargaining chips. The deal has faced one setback after another. Besides China’s protracted objections to the transaction, CK Hutchison has also lost control of the two Panama ports last month after Panama seized the assets amid pressure from Trump. The attack on Iran by the US and Israel and resulting collapse of shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz further underscore how exposed port assets are to geopolitical shocks. The uncertainty in the Middle East, where seven of the ports are located, now threaten to weigh on the deal’s...

The FBI said Thursday that it had found “suspicious” activity on its computer systems, but didn’t provide further details. The bureau said in a statement that it “identified and addressed suspicious activities on FBI networks, and we have leveraged all technical capabilities to respond.” The affected FBI networks are part of a system used to manage wiretaps and and other surveillance activities, according to CBS News and CNN . Both broadcasters said the information came from people familiar with the matter that they didn’t name. An FBI spokesperson declined to provide additional information beyond the statement. US government agencies are frequently probed and sometimes penetrated by hackers, including those backed by foreign adversaries.

narvikk/iStock via Getty Images By Zain Vawda EUR/USD ( EUR:USD ) finds itself at a critical technical and fundamental juncture. After a volatile week defined by a "flight to safety," the pair has broken back below the psychological 1.1600 barrier. What is driving EUR/USD price action? One could almost call EUR/USD's conundrum as a "tale of two tensions." The pair is navigating through a mix of geopolitical anxiety and central bank caution. The European Central Bank (ECB) published its meeting accounts today. While the Governing Council expressed confidence that inflation is trending toward target, they emphasized "persistent uncertainty." This cautious rhetoric suggests the ECB is in no rush to pivot aggressively, but it also fails to provide the hawkish spark the Euro needs to decouple from the dollar’s strength. Add to this the escalating conflict in the Middle East and you have a cocktail for explaining the slide in EUR/USD. Looking at the latest from the Middle East, according to reporting from Axios, President Trump has asserted that he must be personally involved in the process of selecting Iran’s next leader. While acknowledging that Mojtaba Khamenei is currently the most likely individual to succeed the Supreme Leader, the President characterized such an outcome as unacceptable. This is likely to keep tensions high and a peace deal or ceasefire out of reach which would continue to lend support to the US dollar and drag EUR/USD lower. NFP and jobs data tomorrow Recent US economic indicators, including a strong ISM Services PMI (56.1) and steady private payroll data, continue to paint a picture of US economic outperformance. This "American exceptionalism" keeps the Federal Reserve's policy path looking more robust compared to its European counterpart. Tomorrow though will bring the highly anticipated NFP release.

That's once again the case, with today's big 24-hour move taking place between 7:00 a.m. ET yesterday and today, during which XRP saw a nice move of more than 6% over this time frame. Expand CRYPTO : XRP XRP Today's Change ( -2.66 %) $ -0.04 Current Price $ 1.42 Key Data Points Market Cap $87B Day's Range $ 1.40 - $ 1.46 52wk Range $ 1.14 - $ 3.65 Volume 2.9B Now slightly down over the past 24 hours (alongside the broader sector), investors may want to look under the hood to see whether XRP's recent upside momentum is worth legging into, or if this sustained macro downturn in risk assets is enough of a reason to sell. Here's why I think things aren't looking so bad for XRP investors under the hood. Why XRP's price action has been so volatile of late Few readers will need to be reminded of the extreme uncertainty facing investors right now, particularly in the world of geopolitics. With Venezuela now in the rearview mirror, and investors forced to shift their focus to the Middle East and Ecuador (didn't see that one coming), rising commodity prices and currency swings are making life difficult for traders and investors looking to build their discounted cash flow models. In the cryptocurrency sector, one underpinned by fewer fundamentals, the underlying sentiment shift resulting from these actions has driven capital mostly out of the crypto sector of late. That said, one of the more notable developments for XRP has been recent spot ETF launches from the likes of Bitwise and Grayscale, which have provided capital inflows. That's a big positive factor driving this morning's move higher, in my view. Additionally, growth in active wallets and broader liquidity improvements late last year led to improvements in the order book, which I've seen carry over to a degree in Q1 of 2026. I'll be keeping an eye on XRP's fundamentals, but...

Oracle (ORCL) Stock: Thousands of Job Cuts Planned Amid Data Center Costs MEXC

Liens/iStock via Getty Images NexGen Energy ( NXE ) was initiated Thursday at UBS with a Buy rating and C$20 price target, saying the stock offers exposure to the tier-1 Rook I project with significant exploration upside that offers attractive valuation support and upside to higher uranium prices through its largely uncontracted order book. UBS analysts led by George Eadie said they view Rook I as a multi-decade project capable of producing annual C$2.2B real steady-state EBITDA in their base case, implying ~5x EV/EBITDA or ~16% free cash flow yield at steady state, while modeling sales ramping from 2033 and ~20M lbs/year at steady state using higher cost and capex assumptions compared to the latest guidance and a $100/lb real uranium price. While NexGen ( NXE ) faces many challenges over the coming years, E adie and his team see Rook I receiving approval in H1 2026 and construction ramping up later this year and believe risks can be adequately managed and are more than offset by the asset's quality and valuation relative to peers in a space where equities are trading at premiums to historic levels.

Earnings Call Insights: CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) Q4 2025 Management View John Lowe, President and CEO, reported "strong fourth quarter performance and solid results for 2025, a year which featured significant strategic, operational and technological advancements." Lowe highlighted a record quarter with revenue growth of 22%, driven by Arroweye’s contribution and robust sales in contactless cards alongside continued double-digit growth from the Software as a Service-based instant issuance solution. Lowe stated, "We delivered strong growth across our debit and credit portfolio in the fourth quarter, driven by sales of contactless cards and ongoing double-digit growth from our Software as a Service-based instant issuance solution." Lowe announced a new organizational structure and reporting segments: Secure Card Solutions, Prepaid Solutions, and Integrated Paytech, explaining, "This change will provide more visibility on our technology-driven solutions as well as highlight the growth and diversification of our business."

一位美国食品药品监督管理局高级官员表示，UniQure需要再进行一项研究，以证明其基因疗法“确实对亨廷顿病患者有帮助”。 该官员称UniQure是“最新一家为亨廷顿病患者制造失败疗法的公司”。 UniQure与FDA正就其治疗方法的命运展开一场高度公开的争执。 一位美国食品药品监督管理局高级官员周四在电话会议上对记者表示，UniQure需要再进行一项研究，以证明其基因疗法“确实对亨廷顿病患者有帮助”。 这位在讨论敏感信息前要求匿名的官员证实，该机构已要求该公司对其直接注射到大脑中的疗法进行安慰剂对照试验。UniQure曾表示，这种类型的试验不符合伦理，因为它需要让患者接受数小时的全身麻醉，但该官员对此说法提出了异议。 “那么实际情况是怎样的呢？UniQure是最新一家为亨廷顿病患者制造失败疗法的公司，”该官员表示。“他们可能在内心深处承认或理解，他们的试验多年前就失败了，但UniQure没有做正确的事情，没有进行正确的临床研究，而是在FDA的眼皮底下进行扭曲或操纵的比较。” 这些言论标志着UniQure与FDA之间混乱的公开口水战的最新进展，与此同时，该机构因近期多项药物批准申请被拒而受到抨击，其中包括一些公司指责其违背了先前的指导。FDA局长马蒂·马卡里上周在接受CNBC的贝基·奎克采访时，似乎批评了UniQure的亨廷顿病基因疗法。马卡里没有点名UniQure，但描述了其治疗方法。 随后，UniQure指责FDA改变了其原先认为该公司的临床试验数据足以寻求批准的立场。UniQure的研究使用了一个外部数据库来衡量亨廷顿病患者未经治疗时病情可能恶化的程度，这被称为外部对照。UniQure曾表示，进行一项被视为金标准的真正随机、双盲、安慰剂对照研究是不可行的，因为让患者接受数小时的假性脑部手术不符合伦理。 FDA官员表示，该机构“从未同意接受这种扭曲的比较”，而且FDA“从未做出过此类保证”。相反，“FDA总是会说，‘好吧，我们必须看到数据才能下结论。’” UniQure没有立即发表评论。 该公司股价周四上涨超过10%，但截至周四下午，今年已下跌58%。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

AST SpaceMobile (ASTS 10.53%) and Rocket Lab (RKLB 2.77%) are both space-oriented companies that went public through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) in 2021. Both stocks outlasted many of their SPAC-backed peers, but which one is the better space stock to buy in this volatile market? What do AST and Rocket Lab do? AST develops low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites that beam 2G, 4G, and 5G cellular signals to mobile devices. By working with telecom giants like AT&T (T +0.14%) and Verizon (VZ +0.05%), its satellites can reach rural areas that aren't covered by terrestrial cellular towers. It was also recently selected as a prime contractor for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's SHIELD program. AST launched its first five Block 1 BlueBird (BB1) commercial satellites in 2024. Last December, it launched its first four Block 2 BlueBird (BB2) satellites, which are 3.5 times larger than its BB1 satellites but process roughly ten times more data. It aims to have 45-60 satellites in orbit by the end of this year, with a long-term goal of expanding that constellation to over 240 satellites.

In keeping with its recently accelerated release cadence, OpenAI has shipped GPT-5.4 (including GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro). This update comes at a critical time, as recent events have led some vocal users to abandon ship for competing products and models from Anthropic and Google. GPT-5.4 is another model update focused on usefulness for agentic tasks, particularly knowledge work. OpenAI says this is its first model explicitly aimed at computer-use tasks; like competing models, it can issue keyboard or mouse inputs based on periodic desktop or application screenshots.
