Today's Dark Lines
The Fields Medal winner turns to OpenAI, Intel data center demand is "unprecedented," and AMD partners with Cerebras to challenge NVIDIA—these seemingly independent events point in one direction: the AGI arms race is deepening from the algorithmic level to the foundational mathematics and computing infrastructure level.

Today's market is answering a question: as war and AI accelerate simultaneously, which track is closer to the endgame?
