Michael Burry Saying Anthropic Eating Palantir's Lunch Is 'The Wrong Take And Fictional Narrative,' Says
Ives Rejects Burry's Anthropic Vs Palantir Narrative "We believe the take that Anthropic is eating PLTR's lunch ... is the wrong take and fictional narrative," Ives said, adding that Palantir remains "at the epicenter of leaders in the AI Revolution" and a "Core AI winner and tech leader." His remarks came after Burry posted -- and later deleted -- a sharp critique on X, arguing Anthropic's rapid growth signals a major shift in enterprise AI spending. Daniel Newman Questions Anthropic's Threat To Palantir Futurum CEO Daniel Newman echoed Ives' stance, noting that while Anthropic is strong, it is currently blacklisted by the Pentagon. On the other hand, the U.S. government is Palantir's largest customer. "How exactly does it plan to eat $PLTR lunch," he asked on X. Notably, on Wednesday, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. refused to temporarily halt the Pentagon's move to designate Anthropic as a national security risk. The Donald Trump administration designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk after the company declined to relax safeguards on its Claude chatbot for applications like surveillance or autonomous weapons. Burry Doubles Down On Bearish Palantir Bet Burry previously said that Anthropic's revenue run-rate surged from roughly $9 billion to $30 billion in a short span, driven by what he described as a cheaper, more intuitive solution for businesses. "Anthropic is eating $PLTR Palantir's lunch," Burry wrote earlier this week in a now-deleted post, adding that the AI startup is capturing a majority share of new enterprise spending. The "Big Short" investor has also disclosed a sizable bearish position against Palantir via long-dated put options, effectively betting on a decline in the company's stock. He has repeatedly criticized Palantir as a low-margin, consulting-heavy business that relies on third-party AI models rather than building its own foundational technology. AI Spending Battle Intensifies Meanwhile, data from Ramp indicates that Anthropic is securing close to 70% of new enterprise AI spending, a surge that raises fresh questions about Palantir's long-term growth outlook. Price Action: Shares of Palantir fell 7.26% to close at $130.54 on Thursday and edged lower in after-hours trading to $130.10, slipping another 0.33%, according to Benzinga Pro. According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Palantir is showing downward momentum across short, medium and long-term periods, while its Growth score ranks in the 98th percentile.

High-Stakes Cybersecurity: Banks Grapple with Anthropic's Mythos AI | Technology
U.S. Treasury officials and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell held an urgent meeting with leading bank CEOs to discuss cyber risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model. The model is capable of exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities across major systems, prompting a limited release and strategic briefings with government and industry stakeholders. In a move underscoring the growing concerns over cybersecurity, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell held an urgent meeting with top bank CEOs. The gathering aimed to address potential cyber threats posed by Anthropic's revolutionary AI model, Mythos. Mythos, launched this week, is touted for its ability to identify and exploit weaknesses across major operating systems and web browsers. Anthropic restricted its release, citing fears of newly discovered vulnerabilities, and has been in ongoing discussions with U.S. officials about the AI's cyber capabilities. Key stakeholders, including CEOs from Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and others, gathered in Washington to discuss how to mitigate these risks. While access to Mythos remains limited to about 40 tech firms like Microsoft and Google, the implications for cybersecurity strategy are profound.
SpaceX posts nearly US$5b loss in 2025 amid rapid expansion, report says
LONDON, April 9 -- Elon Musk's IPO-bound SpaceX posted a loss of nearly US$5 billion (RM19.86 billion) in 2025 on revenue of more than US$18.5 billion, The Information reported on Thursday, citing sources. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment outside regular business hours. The loss includes Musk's artificial intelligence startup xAI, which SpaceX acquired in February, according to the report. SpaceX is the world's most active launch company and has set out ambitions to make interplanetary travel viable. It has also outlined plans to deploy artificial intelligence data centers in orbit. The company, which confidentially filed for a Us listing in March, generated about US$8 billion in profit last year on revenue of US$15 billion to US$16 billion, Reuters reported in January. SpaceX is seeking a public listing at a potential valuation of more than US$1.75 trillion. -- Reuters
Bessent, Powell warn bank CEOs about Anthropic model cyber risks
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell summoned Wall Street leaders to an urgent meeting on concerns that the latest artificial intelligence model from Anthropic, Mythos, will usher in an era of greater cyber risk. Bessent and Powell assembled the group at Treasury's headquarters in Washington on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) to make sure banks are aware of possible future risks raised by Mythos and potential similar models, and are taking precautions to defend their systems, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified.
Anthropic Exploring Possibility Of Designing Its Own AI chips: Report
Demand for Anthropic's AI model Claude has accelerated in 2026 ShowQuick Read Summary is AI-generated, newsroom-reviewed * Anthropic is exploring designing its own AI chips amid a global chip shortage * The plan is in early stages with no dedicated team or specific design yet decided * Anthropic's AI model Claude generated over $30 billion in revenue in 2026 Did our AI summary help? Let us know. Switch To Beeps Mode Artificial intelligence lab Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own chips, three sources said, as the company and its rivals respond to a shortage of AI chips needed to power and develop more advanced AI systems. The plans are in early stages and the company may still decide to only buy AI chips and not design any, according to two people with knowledge of the matter and one person briefed on Anthropic's plans. The company has yet to commit to a specific design or put together a dedicated team to work on the project, one of the sources said. A spokesperson for the San Francisco-based company declined to comment on the article. Demand for its AI model Claude has accelerated in 2026, with the startup's run-rate revenue now surpassing $30 billion, up from about $9 billion at the end of 2025, Anthropic said earlier this week. Anthropic uses a range of chips, including tensor processing units (TPUs) designed by Alphabet's Google and Amazon's chips to develop and run its AI software and chatbot Claude. Earlier this week, Anthropic signed a long-term deal with Google and Broadcom, which helps design the TPUs. That deal builds on the company's commitment to invest $50 billion in strengthening US computing infrastructure. Anthropic's discussions mirror similar efforts underway at large tech companies that are seeking to design their own AI chips, including Meta and OpenAI. Designing an advanced AI chip can cost roughly half a billion dollars, according to industry sources, as companies need to employ skilled engineers and spend to make sure the manufacturing process has no defects.

Anthropic's Ambitious AI Chip Design Plans | Technology
Anthropic, an AI lab, is considering designing its own chips amidst a growing demand for AI technology. Although in preliminary stages, these plans aim to tackle the shortage of AI chips. The company's revenue has notably increased, and it continues partnerships with tech giants like Google and Broadcom. Artificial intelligence lab Anthropic is pushing boundaries by exploring the potential of designing its own chips, according to sources. This initiative is still at an early stage and the company may alternatively opt to purchase AI chips instead. Despite the uncertainty around the project's direction, Anthropic reports a rapid growth in demand for its AI model Claude in 2026, with its revenue surging past $30 billion. The company heavily relies on different chip technologies, including those from Google and Amazon. The lab's ambitions reflect a broader trend among tech firms like Meta and OpenAI, which also aim to develop proprietary AI chips. Such endeavors could result in significant financial outlays, estimated to reach $500 million, encompassing both engineering talent and flawless manufacturing processes.
Anthropic Model Scare Sparks Urgent Bessent, Powell Warning To Bank CEOs
Bessent and Powell assembled the group at Treasury's headquarters in Washington on Tuesday to make sure banks are aware of possible future risks raised by Anthropic's Mythos and potential similar models, and are taking precautions to defend their systems Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned Wall Street leaders to an urgent meeting on concerns that the latest artificial intelligence model from Anthropic PBC will usher in an era of greater cyber risk. Bessent and Powell assembled the group at Treasury's headquarters in Washington on Tuesday to make sure banks are aware of possible future risks raised by Anthropic's Mythos and potential similar models, and are taking precautions to defend their systems, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified citing the private discussions. A representative for the Treasury didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Fed declined to comment. The previously unreported meeting, arranged on short notice, is another sign that regulators consider the possibility of a new breed of cyber attacks as one of the biggest risks facing the financial industry. All the banks summoned to the meeting are classified as systemically important by top regulators, meaning their stability is a priority for the global financial system. Anthropic's Mythos is a more powerful system that the AI firm has said is capable of identifying and then exploiting vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser when directed by a user to do so. Regulators' caution about the power of the model in hackers' hands echoes Anthropic's own prudence. Anthropic has limited the release of it to just a few major technology and finance firms at first. Those companies, which include Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. as well as JPMorgan Chase & Co., are part of "Project Glasswing," which will work to secure the most important systems before other similar AI models become available. Anthropic has said that it has been in discussions prior to its recent release with US officials about Mythos and its "offensive and defensive cyber capabilities." ALSO READ: 'Mythos' Disruption: Cloudflare, Palantir Lead Up To 12% Software Rout As Anthropic Shifts AI Stakes Chief executive officers summoned to the meeting with the Fed and Treasury include Citigroup Inc.'s Jane Fraser, Morgan Stanley's Ted Pick, Bank of America Corp.'s Brian Moynihan, Wells Fargo & Co.'s Charlie Scharf, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s David Solomon, said the people. JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon was unable to attend, the people said. Spokespeople for the banks declined to comment. A representative for Anthropic had no immediate comment. Anthropic has separately been battling the Trump administration in court. The Pentagon had labeled the company as a supply-chain risk, a designation that Anthropic has opposed. Earlier this week, a federal appeals court declined, at least for now, Anthropic's request that it put a pause to the Pentagon's designation.

Crypto Update: Pepeto Presale Fills as Polymarket Prices CLARITY Act Passage at 72%
Polymarket prediction contracts are pricing the CLARITY Act's passage at 72%, giving the crypto market a live read on the probability that digital assets will be permanently classified as commodities under CFTC oversight before midterm politics shelve the bill. This crypto update matters because when the market's largest prediction exchange gives the most important crypto legislation nearly three in four odds of passing, the capital positioning for that outcome has already begun. Pepeto crossed $8.8M at $0.000000186 because the sharpest wallets see 100x potential before the confirmed Binance listing goes live. Polymarket Prices CLARITY Act at 72% Passage Odds Polymarket prediction contracts show 72% odds that the CLARITY Act clears the Senate Banking Committee before the midterm window closes, reflecting growing confidence that the stablecoin yield dispute that stalled the bill twice now has an agreement in principle, according to CoinDesk. The bill would establish a unified regulatory framework classifying major digital assets as commodities under CFTC oversight, replacing the jurisdictional overlap that created years of uncertainty, according to The Block. For this crypto update, 72% odds on the most important crypto legislation in history means the capital positioning for passage is well underway, and the entries made before the vote collect the returns that post vote arrivals chase. Crypto Update: Positioning Before the Vote Changes Everything Pepeto: Working Tools and a Confirmed Listing Ahead of Regulatory Clarity The CLARITY Act passing would unlock billions in new institutional capital, and Pepeto is positioned to capture returns from that wave because the tools are live and the Binance listing is confirmed. The presale crossed $8.8M and stages fill faster than projected. PepetoAI catches contract risks and whale movements in real time, giving holders the intelligence to protect capital during the volatile sessions that legislative catalysts create. The cross chain bridge links blockchains so assets reposition without hidden costs. SolidProof audited both tools and they operate live. Pepeto's 186% APY staking draws holders who lock tokens ahead of listing day, tightening available supply as the Binance date nears. The cofounder who made Pepe a household name in crypto and turned zero infrastructure into $11 billion of value now steers Pepeto, with a former Binance engineer leading the exchange development. This crypto update keeps pointing toward Pepeto because a confirmed listing ahead of regulatory clarity is the rarest timing the market offers. Mutuum Finance: Presale Lending Without Listing Confirmation Mutuum Finance markets a peer to peer lending protocol and has raised capital during its presale, but no major exchange listing has been confirmed. The lending rates advertised during presale carry smart contract risk that no independent audit from a recognized firm has publicly addressed. Without a confirmed listing or a clear audit trail, presale holders face an indefinite wait with no guaranteed path to liquidity. For this crypto update, the difference between Pepeto and unconfirmed presales is the difference between a return with a date and capital without an exit. Solana: Infrastructure Strength but Recovery Takes Patience Solana trades near $83 after shedding 73% from its $293 record, according to CoinMarketCap. CME futures launch May 4, Morgan Stanley filed for a trust, and the CLARITY Act would permanently classify SOL as a commodity. The fundamentals support long term recovery, but at $46 billion, even doubling to $160 requires months of institutional rotation. For this crypto update, SOL offers infrastructure value but the return math from here takes patience that one confirmed listing does not require. Conclusion Polymarket pricing CLARITY Act passage at 72% proves the most important crypto legislation in history is closer to reality than ever, and the entries positioned before that vote lands collect the returns that post vote capital chases. While Solana awaits regulatory tailwinds and Mutuum Finance lacks a confirmed exit, neither produces the kind of return that presale pricing ahead of a confirmed Binance listing generates. Fresh capital enters the Pepeto official website because every round closes faster than projected and the listing window shrinks daily. Every cycle produces winners who entered during fear and collected returns during recovery, and the presale entry available right now is the position that turns fear pricing into recovery wealth, the same position every cycle winner held before the returns arrived. Click To Visit Pepeto Website To Enter The Presale FAQ What crypto update matters most right now? Polymarket prices the CLARITY Act at 72% passage odds, meaning the market's largest prediction exchange gives nearly three in four odds to the legislation that would classify digital assets as commodities. How does the CLARITY Act affect presale entries? Permanent commodity classification unlocks billions in institutional capital, and presale entries positioned before that vote collect the return gap that post legislation arrivals cannot access. Why does Pepeto lead the presale conversation right now? Working tools, 186% APY staking, SolidProof audits, and a confirmed Binance listing from the Pepe cofounder deliver what unconfirmed presales cannot.

Bessent, Powell Warn Bank CEOs About Anthropic Model Risks, Bloomberg News Reports
Bessent, Powell Warn Bank CEOs About Anthropic Model Risks, Bloomberg News Reports U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with bank CEOs this week to warn of cyber risks posed by Anthropic's latest AI model, two sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Anthropic launched the powerful Mythos model earlier this week but stopped short of a broad release, citing concerns it could expose previously unknown cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The company said the model was capable of identifying and exploiting weaknesses across "every major operating system and every major web browser". The meeting, held at the Treasury Department in Washington on Tuesday, was aimed at ensuring banks are aware of the potential risks posed by Mythos and similar models, and are taking steps to defend their systems, one of the sources said. The invitation came while most CEOs of the largest U.S. banks were already in Washington to attend other meetings, one of the sources said. Access to Mythos will be limited to about 40 technology companies, including Microsoft MSFT.O and Google GOOGL.O, and Anthropic has been in ongoing talks with the U.S. government about the model's capabilities, the startup has said. Bloomberg News, which first reported the matter on Thursday, said the CEOs of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs were present. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon was unable to join, one of the sources told Reuters. Goldman Sachs and the Federal Reserve declined to comment.

Anthropic's Mythos AI Model Sparks Emergency Cybersecurity Meeting With Top U.S. Bank CEOs - EconoTimes
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent closed-door meeting with the chief executives of America's largest banks this week, warning them about serious cybersecurity threats posed by Anthropic's newly launched artificial intelligence model, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The meeting, held Tuesday at the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., was prompted by the release of Anthropic's powerful new Mythos AI model, which the company itself acknowledged could expose previously undiscovered vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser in existence. Rather than pursuing a wide public launch, Anthropic opted to limit access to approximately 40 technology companies -- including Microsoft and Google -- while simultaneously engaging in active discussions with U.S. government officials about the model's far-reaching capabilities. Banking regulators and financial officials used the gathering to stress the importance of proactive defense strategies, urging institutions to assess and strengthen their cybersecurity infrastructure in light of threats that next-generation AI systems like Mythos could potentially enable. The timing was strategic, as many top bank executives were already in Washington attending separate industry events. Bloomberg News, which broke the story, reported that the CEOs of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs were among those present. JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon was notably absent, one source confirmed. Goldman Sachs and the Federal Reserve both declined to offer comment, while the Treasury Department, participating lenders, and Anthropic had not responded to media inquiries at the time of publication. The development highlights growing concerns among policymakers and financial regulators about the dual-use nature of advanced AI -- recognizing both its transformative potential and its capacity to introduce unprecedented risks to critical infrastructure and global financial systems.

Vandenberg's Next Mission: SpaceX Rocket Launch on Friday
Landing: The first-stage booster, making its 32nd flight, will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship positioned in the Pacific Ocean. To watch the liftoff in person, the Lompoc Valley has multiple locations offering views of the launch pad. Those include the peak of Harris Grade Road, west of Lompoc's city limits and around Vandenberg Village, including near the intersection of Moonglow and Stardust roads. Vandenberg launches close to sunset or sunrise can be especially picturesque. If skies are clear, the rocket's departure might be visible from elsewhere around California and, under certain conditions, other Western states. Upcoming Launches: SpaceX plans additional Falcon rocket liftoffs from Vandenberg for Starlink missions on Tuesday, April 18 and April 22. Launches can get delayed for a number of reasons, including technical troubles with the rocket, payload or support equipment; unfavorable weather; and scheduling issues.
Soulja Boy's Livestream Run Ends in Chaos - News Directory 3
During a multi-user stream involving creators ExoticTV Ra, MCL, and Mello Rell, Soulja Boy reacted with rage after losing an in-game token challenge. Rapper Soulja Boy has joined the streaming platform Kick, claiming that he is the new face of the service. The move follows a period of significant volatility for the artist, who has recently been involved in high-profile legal disputes and public confrontations on other social media platforms. The transition to Kick comes after Soulja Boy's behavior on TikTok became a subject of widespread reporting in late 2025. In November 2025, the rapper was involved in a chaotic TikTok livestream that escalated from a friendly token challenge into a series of aggressive threats against other content creators. During a multi-user stream involving creators ExoticTV Ra, MCL, and Mello Rell, Soulja Boy reacted with rage after losing an in-game token challenge. The incident, which was captured live and later reported by TMZ, saw the 34-year-old rapper shift from playful competition to a profanity-laced tirade. Soulja Boy specifically targeted ExoticTV Ra, vowing to find him offline and threatening to shoot you in the face. Despite the severity of the threats, the other creators reportedly laughed at the outburst, which further fueled the rapper's frustration. The tension increased when Mello Rell accused Soulja Boy of crashing out over a TikTok game and joked about smacking Soulja Coins out his soul. Soulja Boy responded with further insults and displayed stacks of cash before abruptly ending the broadcast. The livestream meltdown is part of a broader pattern of recent legal and personal challenges for the artist. Earlier in 2025, a jury ordered Soulja Boy to pay more than $4 million in damages in a civil case involving assault and emotional distress. he was arrested in Los Angeles after authorities discovered a firearm in a vehicle he was occupying. Although the arrest occurred, prosecutors ultimately declined to file charges in that specific case. These events have led to public questioning regarding the stability of the artist, who was previously recognized as a digital music pioneer for his mid-2000s breakout hit Crank That (Soulja Boy). By January 20, 2026, Soulja Boy expanded his digital presence by joining Kick. By positioning himself as the new face of the platform, the rapper and entrepreneur is attempting to pivot his streaming presence following the controversies that overshadowed his legacy on other social media services. Soulja Boy's career has long been defined by his role as an internet personality and entrepreneur, beginning with his rise to fame in the mid-2000s. His move to Kick represents a continuation of his efforts to maintain a central role in the digital content landscape.
Scott Bessent called in US bank CEOs to discuss Anthropic model's cyber risks
US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent summoned the leaders of some of the largest US banks earlier this week to discuss the cyber risk posed by the latest AI model from Anthropic, according to people familiar with the matter. The meeting was attended by the leaders of Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, the people said, who were already in Washington for a meeting of the banking lobby group. JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon was invited to the conversation with Bessent but could not attend. The meeting, attended by Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell, was first reported by Bloomberg. The summons from the Treasury secretary underscores the concerns inside the Trump administration over the capabilities of Anthropic's latest model because of its advanced ability to detect cyber security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by bad actors. Executives have been warning for years of the cyber risks facing the financial system. In his annual letter published this week, Dimon wrote that it "remains one of our biggest risks" and that "AI will almost surely make this risk worse" and would require significant investment for defence. Anthropic on Tuesday released the model, dubbed Claude Mythos Preview, to a select group of partners, including Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, to give them a "head start on being able to secure vulnerabilities". Mythos, which is a "general purpose" model with capabilities beyond cyber security, marked the first time Anthropic had limited the launch of a new model. "AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities," Anthropic said in a statement announcing the release. It added that Mythos had already found thousands of severe vulnerabilities, including in "every major operating system and web browser", some of which had been undetected for decades. Anthropic said it has held talks with US government officials about the model's "offensive and defensive cyber capabilities". The limited release of Mythos came after two incidents where data from the start-up leaked online -- including documents related to Mythos and the underlying code for its Claude assistant -- raising concerns about Anthropic's security. The company blamed human error for the incidents. Anthropic declined to comment on the bank CEOs meeting. The Federal Reserve, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Wells Fargo declined to comment. The Treasury, Citibank and Morgan Stanley did not respond.
Atlassian's losing streak worsens on Anthropic's latest tool
The value of Sydney-based software giant Atlassian has fallen to $US15.5 billion ($21.9 billion) after a new product release from Anthropic ramped up fears that artificial intelligence giants will disrupt software companies faster than expected. Shares in Atlassian were trading at $US153 at the start of January but have fallen more than 60 per cent so far this year, over concerns that the rise of AI-powered coding tools will lead to fewer software developers using its products and that its software could be easily cloned by users with little technical skill.
AI alarm bells: US Fed, Treasury sound warning to banks over Anthropic's Mythos cyber risks
NEW YORK, April 10 -- US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with bank executives on Tuesday to warn them about the cyber risks raised by Anthropic's latest AI model, Bloomberg News reported, citing sources. The meeting at the Treasury Department in Washington aimed to ensure banks are aware of potential risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos and similar models, and are taking steps to defend their systems, the report said on Thursday. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. -- Reuters
