Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday expressing concern over the Pentagon’s decision to give Elon Musk’s company xAI access to classified networks. “Grok, the controversial AI model developed by xAI, has provided disturbing outputs for users, including giving users ‘advice on how to commit murders and terrorist attacks,’ generating antisemitic content, and creating child sexual abuse material,” the letter reads. Warren said Grok’s “apparent lack of adequate guardrails” could pose “serious risks to the safety of U.S. military personnel and to the cybersecurity of classified systems.” She demanded Hegseth provide information on how the Department of Defense plans to “mitigate these potential national security risks.” Warren isn’t the first to express alarm at Grok, xAI’s controversial chatbot, gaining access to classified systems. Last month, a coalition of nonprofits urged the government to immediately suspend the deployment of Grok in federal agencies, including the DoD, after X users repeatedly prompted the chatbot to turn real photos of women, and in some cases children, into sexualized images without their consent. The same day Warren sent her letter, a class action lawsuit was filed against xAI alleging Grok had generated sexual content from real images of the plaintiffs as minors. The letter comes in the aftermath of the Pentagon’s decision to label Anthropic a supply chain risk after the AI firm refused to give the military unrestricted access to its AI systems. Anthropic had been, until recently, the only AI company with classified-ready systems. In the midst of that conflict, the DoD signed an agreement with OpenAI as well as xAI to use the two companies’ AI systems in classified networks, according to Axios. A senior Pentagon official confirmed that Grok was onboarded to be used in a classified setting, but is not yet being used. “It is unclear what assurances or documentation xAI has provided to the Departm...

ymgerman Getty Images ( GETY ) fell into the red in the fourth quarter as the company took on additional expenses reflecting a litigation loss, merger-related expenses, and higher interest rates on refinanced debt. This contributed to an adjusted net loss of $4.3M, or $(0.01) per share, versus a profit of $7.29M, or $0.02 per share, in the same quarter last year. Accordingly, net margin turned to a negative 32.2% in Q4 from a positive 10% in the same quarter last year. The loss overshadowed a 14% increase in revenue to $282.3M, which was fueled by a 21% increase in editorial revenue, a 4.6% increase in creative revenue, and a 61% increase in “other” revenue, all of which includes the impacts from the signing of two significant licensing agreements and includes “meaningful” revenue recognized in an accelerated manner. On the company’s balance sheet, net cash provided by operating activities was nearly cut in half to $20.6M, while free cash flow fell to $7.7M from $24.6M in the prior year due to a $22.4M increase in cash interest paid. The company also projected revenue growth for FY26 that was less than Wall Street anticipated. For FY26, Getty Images ( GETY ) sees revenue down 3.4% to up 6%, translating to a range of $948M to $988M, with a $968M midpoint that is below $973M estimates. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be down 8.1% to 12.9% from a year earlier to a range of $279M and $295M.

Andrzej Rostek Terra Power, which is planning a ~$1B, 1.25 GW coal-fired power plant in Alaska, reached an in-principle agreement with Hyundai Heavy Industries ( MHVYF ) ( MHVIY ) for an order of power plant boilers , Bloomberg reported Monday, citing a fact sheet from the U.S. Interior Department. The transaction is one of several that advanced during talks at the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum in Tokyo this weekend. Terra Energy Center's plan, which would mark the first investment in new U.S. coal power in more than a decade, represents a striking reversal for the U.S. coal industry; coal once supplied more than half of the electricity produced in the U.S., but the figure has been steadily declining and now totals ~16%. South Korean private equity company Koreit has agreed to make a $500M equity investment in the Terra Energy Center, Bloomberg reported, citing the fact sheet.

NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX is a new rack-scale inference accelerator for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, designed for the low-latency and large-context demands of agentic systems. Co-designed with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72, LPX equips the AI factory with an engine optimized for fast, predictable token generation, while Vera Rubin NVL72 remains the flexible, general-purpose workhorse for training and inference, delivering high throughput across prefill and decode, including long-context processing, decode attention, and high-concurrency serving at scale. This combination matters because the agentic future demands a new category of inference. As generation speeds approach 1,000 tokens per second per user, models move beyond conversation-speed interaction toward speed of thought computing. At that rate, AI systems can reason, simulate, and respond continuously, enabling experiences that feel less like turn-based chat and more like real-time collaboration. This shift also raises the ceiling for multi-agent systems. Individual agents can be powerful on their own, but coordinated groups of agents can accomplish far more, much like human societies scale their capability through collective intelligence and coordination. Supporting these emerging workloads requires infrastructure that can deliver both high throughput and low latency. The combination of Vera Rubin NVL72 and LPX enables this heterogeneous architecture, pairing large-scale AI factory performance with the fast token generation needed to power continuously running agentic systems and next-generation AI applications. Introducing NVIDIA Groq 3 LPX Vera Rubin and LPX unite the extreme performance of Rubin GPUs and LPUs to deliver up to 35x higher inference throughput per megawatt and up to 10x more revenue opportunity for trillion-parameter models. Integrated with the NVIDIA MGX ETL rack architecture and aligned with the broader Vera Rubin platform, LPX gives data centers a way to deploy a dedicated low-latency inference p...

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday elaborated on his vision for keeping his company at the forefront of the artificial intelligence boom that he predicted will produce a $1 trillion backlog in orders within the next year. Sporting his signature black leather jacket, Huang spent more than two hours sauntering across a stage in a packed arena in San Jose, California, explaining how Nvidia's processors became indispensable AI components and highlighting the products that he believes will keep the company in the catbird's seat. Huang, 63, also touched upon many of the themes that he has been trumpeting since he emerged as one of Silicon Valley's most influential voices during the past few years, including his thesis that the AI buildup remains in its infancy. “We reinvented computing, just like the PC (personal computer) revolution and the internet revolution,” Huang proclaimed. “We are now at the beginning of a new platform change.” To hammer home his points, Huang predicted that Nvidia will be grappling with a $1 trillion backlog in orders for its chips by the end of the year, doubling his estimate from a year ago. Nvidia has leveraged its dominant position in the AI chip market so far to increase its annual revenue from $27 billion in 2022 to $216 billion last year — a growth rate that has translated into a $4.5 trillion market value for the Santa Clara, California, company. But Nvidia's once-torrid stock has cooled since the company briefly became the first to surpass a $5 trillion market value last October amid worries that the the AI buzz is overblown. “This is just a white-knuckle period for the technology industry,” said Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives. Even after Nvidia released a quarterly report in late February that far exceeded analyst forecasts and management provided a rosy outlook, the company's stock price is still down by 6% from where it stood before those numbers came out. While analysts expect Nvidia's revenue to surpass $330 billion for the upco...

April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Monday closed down -0.108 (-3.45%). Nat-gas prices fell sharply on Monday amid negative carryover from a -5% plunge in crude oil prices on hopes that the Strait of Hormuz can soon be reopened to maritime traffic. Also, a mixed US weather report weighed on nat-gas prices on Monday, as the Commodity Weather Group said above-average temperatures are expected across the western half of the US through March 25, potentially curbing nat-gas heating demand. Don’t Miss a Day: Nat-gas prices surged to a 3-year high earlier this month due to the war in Iran. On March 2, Qatar shut its Ras Laffan plant, the world's largest natural gas export facility, after it was targeted by an Iranian drone attack. The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural gas supply, and its closure could boost US nat-gas exports. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Monday was 112.5 bcf/day (+4.9% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Monday was 92.8 bcf/day (+21.1% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Monday were 20.3 bcf/day (+8.8% w/w), according to BNEF. Projections for higher US nat-gas production are bearish for prices. On February 17, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 109.97 bcf/day from last month's estimate of 108.82 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high last Friday. As a positive factor for gas prices, the Edison Electric Institute reported last Wednesday that US (lower-48) electricity output in the week ended March 7 rose +1.00% y/y to 78,133 GWh (gigawatt hours). Also, US electricity output in the 52-week period ending March 7 rose +1.69% y/y to 4,309,018 GWh. Last Thursday's weekly EIA report was bearish for nat-gas prices, as nat-gas inventories for the week ended March 6 fell by -38 bcf, a smaller draw than the market consensus of -41 bcf and the 5-year weekly aver...

April WTI crude oil (CLJ26) on Monday closed down -5.21 (-5.28%), and April RBOB gasoline (RBJ26) closed down -0.0411 (-1.35%). Crude oil prices sold off sharply on Monday in hopes that oil tankers may soon be able to move through the Strait of Hormuz. Several oil tankers safely navigated the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend, raising hopes that the waterway could reopen soon. India is attempting to get six other vessels through the strait, while a number of other countries are trying back channels to Iran to ensure safe passage for their ships. The war with Iran is in its seventeenth day with no end in sight. The US hit military sites over the weekend on Kharg Island, from which Iran exports almost all of its oil. Meanwhile, Iran launched fresh attacks across the Persian Gulf, disrupting shipments at a key United Arab Emirates oil hub and halting flights at Dubai’s airport. Don’t Miss a Day: President Trump said the US is talking to Tehran but that he’s not sure if the Iranians are “ready.” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran hadn’t asked for talks or a ceasefire. President Trump said that he is “demanding” that other countries contribute to the defense of the Strait of Hormuz and that NATO would face a “very bad” future if member states failed to help in Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz remains essentially closed, and Persian Gulf oil producers have been forced to cut production by roughly 6% as local storage facilities reach capacity. The Strait of Hormuz normally handles a fifth of the world’s oil. Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March. In a bearish factor for crude, OPEC+ on March 1 said it will boost its crude output by 206,000 bpd in April, above estimates of 137,000 bpd, although that production hike now seems unlikely given that Middle East producers are being forced to cut production due to the Middle East war.
