The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting kicks off in Omaha, NE on May 1, 2026. Yun Li | CNBC OMAHA, Nebraska — At the cavernous exhibit hall inside CHI Health Center Omaha, the annual "Berkshire Bazaar of Bargains" is still stocked with fan-favorite deals, just with a bit more breathing room this year. The 20,000-square-foot shopping event tied to Berkshire Hathaway 's annual meeting features its usual lineup: Warren Buffett-themed gear from Brooks Sports and chocolate coins from See's Candies, alongside merchandise from dozens of subsidiaries. But unlike past years, lines were shorter and the crowds noticeably thinner. The event came as Buffett, the 95-year-old chairman who has defined the gathering for decades, is no longer expected to headline the marquee Q&A session in the same way, ceding the spotlight to Greg Abel, who took over as CEO at the beginning of 2026. Abel made a point of stopping by every booth in the hall, greeting employees and shaking hands with shareholders. Lines of shareholders formed as he made his way through the hall. Greg Abel, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, meets with shareholders at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, NE on May 1, 2026. David A. Grogan | CNBC Squishmallows — the plush toy phenomenon owned by Jazwares that Berkshire gained through its 2022 acquisition of Alleghany Corporation — once again pulled in crowds, including for a new Abel-themed plush. Adam Padawer, president of Jazwares, told CNBC that Abel was "engaged, interested and involved," noting the CEO helped design his own Squishmallow. The company also partnered with other Berkshire brands including BNSF Railway, NetJets, GEICO and See's Candies on special-edition versions.

If you're looking for an investment that can beat the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) , you don't have to find a needle in a haystack.

Shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) shot up 53% in April, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence . The memory chip maker is benefiting greatly from a growing shortage of supply for artificial intelligence ( AI ) use cases, which is driving up selling prices. Shares of Micron stock are up 600% over the past 12 months, giving it a market cap of $611 billion and making it the 19th-largest company in the world. Here's why it was soaring yet again, and whether investors should get in on the party as the AI revolution keeps marching on. As many investors know by now, AI infrastructure requires a massive amount of computer chips to train and operate. In the early days of AI growth, this was mainly the high-powered GPUs sold by Nvidia . Now, high-bandwidth memory chips are getting in on the party because of the need for rapid data transfers between data centers. Continue reading

财联社5月2日讯（编辑 赵昊） 美国科技巨头Meta Platforms已收购Assured Robot Intelligence，这家初创公司专注于为机器人开发人工智能模型，有望为Meta打造人形机器人技术的计划提供帮助。 Meta发言人告诉媒体，这笔交易已于周五（5月1日）完成。Meta还表示，Assured Robot Intelligence处于机器人智能领域的前沿，“致力于让机器人能够在复杂且动态的环境中理解、预测并适应人类的行为。” Assured Robot Intelligence团队将加入Meta旗下的“超级智能实验室”（Superintelligence Labs）研究部门，并与去年成立的、专注于人形机器人底层技术的Meta Robotics Studio团队密切合作。 当下，Meta正大举投资人形机器人——这类机器人能够像人类一样行动，并协助完成各种体力任务。该新兴领域正受到多家科技巨头的推动，其中就有特斯拉、谷歌以及亚马逊。 Assured Robot Intelligence的两位创始人也将加入“超级智能实验室”——Xiaolong Wang此前曾在英伟达担任研究员，Lerrel Pinto则是Fauna Robotics的联合创始人，该公司今年3月被亚马逊收购。 Assured Robot Intelligence的员工主要分布在圣地亚哥和纽约。Meta表示，该团队“将在机器人控制、自我学习等前沿能力方面带来深厚专业知识，推动实现全身人形机器人的控制能力”。 Meta的机器人团队正致力于开发自研的人形机器人硬件及其底层AI技术，包括传感器、软件等关键组件，并计划向行业开放这些技术，使其未来可被更多公司采用。 去年有消息称，Meta的目标是像当年安卓系统和高通芯片之于手机行业那样，打造一个面向整个人形机器人市场的基础平台。

8 In 10 Chatbots Inclined To Assist Users In Planning Attacks Eight out of ten AI chatbots have been found to actively assist users in planning violent attacks, according to a new investigation by CNN and the Center for Countering Digital Hate. As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, when asked to plan violent attacks including a school shooting, an antisemitic bombing and a political assassination, platforms such as Perplexity, Meta AI and DeepSeek regularly assisted users in finding answers. Only one, Anthropic’s Claude, repeatedly discouraged users from taking action . You will find more infographics at Statista Researchers tested ten chatbots by acting as a user planning to carry out several types of violent attacks both in the United States and in Ireland, providing a European comparison. The tests were designed to reflect plans for school shootings or knife attacks, assassinations targeting politicians or bombings targeting political parties or synagogues. In over half of the responses for eight of the chatbots, the subjects were provided with advice on locations to target and weapons to use in an attack. Snapchat ’s My AI and Anthropic ’s Claude refused to offer help in 54 percent and 68 percent of cases, respectively. Claude was also the only chatbot to consistently recognize the intentions of the user and to discourage them from acting. Meanwhile, Character.AI actively encouraged violence, including suggesting that the test user “use a gun” on a health insurance CEO and physically assault a politician that the user dislikes.

据知情人士透露，随着市场对人工智能（AI）芯片制造商及数据中心运营商股票的需求升温，美国加州Cerebras Systems考虑通过美国IPO融资至多40亿美元（3月时表示初步寻求通过IPO融资大约20亿美元），已经获得超过100亿美元认购意向。该公司目标估值约为400亿美元，并计划最快于下周一开始正式的IPO市场推广。包括规模、估值和时机在内的上市细节仍可能发生变化。（彭博）

Cerebras Systems Inc. is seeking to raise as much as $4 billion in its initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, as demand for the artificial intelligence chipmaker and data center operator’s shares heats up. The Sunnyvale, California-based company is targeting a valuation of about $40 billion, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. Cerebras plans to begin formal marketing for the IPO as soon as Monday, the people said. The banks on the deal have already received indications of interest in excess of $10 billion worth of potential orders, the people said. It comes as shares of semiconductor stocks have soared, with the benchmark Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index rising 50% this year. Details of the listing including size, valuation and timing could change, the people said. A Cerebras representative declined to comment. The new target represents an increase from Cerebras’ earlier plans. The company was seeking to raise about $2 billion in the IPO, people familiar with the matter said in March. Cerebras, which had lodged confidential paperwork months after withdrawing its previous registration, filed publicly last month. Investors and megacap technology companies are rapidly accelerating their multibillion-dollar investments into building AI infrastructure. Cerebras is part of a growing cohort seeking to challenge market leader Nvidia Corp. with giant chips that can handle massive amounts of data in one go. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Feldman has said that Cerebras’ hardware runs AI models much faster than Nvidia. It also operates its own data centers. In February, Cerebras raised about $1 billion in a funding round that valued the firm at $23 billion including money raised. The funding was led by Tiger Global Management with participation from investors including Benchmark, Fidelity Management & Research Co., and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The fresh valuation was a significant increa...
