Microsoft explained that, "With Fireworks AI on Foundry, developers can get access to best-in-class inferencing for open models, including optimized deployments for custom weight models. Fireworks AI is a market leader for high performance inference for open models. Its engine already runs at internet scale processing over 13T tokens daily, sustaining about 180 thousand requests per second, and generating over 1,000 tokens per second on large models, substantiated by leading benchmark performance on Artificial Analysis. This performance is now available on Foundry."HIMAX POPS:Shares of Himaxjumped on Thursday following aby Hunterbrook saying the company appears to be manufacturing critical optical components for Nvidia'sAI data center revolution. The report also states that, "Clues indicate it may be supplying Apple'snew smart glasses, too." "At Hunterbrook Media - with the help of Citrini Research - we followed a trail of patents, investments, and supply chain shifts. The upshot: The two customers Himax did not name appear to be the two most powerful technology companies in the world. Nvidia and Apple. And while investors are still apparently pricing Himax like a commoditized component supplier, the company appears to be emerging as a supplier of a critical optical component powering the next generation of AI data centers," the report reads. Based on Hunterbrook Media's reporting, Hunterbrook Capital is long Himax.PARTNERSHIP:Palantirannounced its sovereign AI OS reference architecture with Nvidia, which delivers customers a turnkey AI datacenter from hardware procurement to application deployment. The Palantir AI OS Reference Architecture delivers a complete, production-ready AI infrastructure. It is based on Nvidia Enterprise Reference Architectures, tested to run Palantir's complete software suite. The Sovereign AI architecture allows enterprises total control over their data, AI models and applications.MOVING TO FLOW:Googlestated in a Workspace blog, "On April 30, 2026, the best capabilities from Whisk are moving directly into Flow, Google's unified platform for AI-powered image and video creation. Users with active Whisk accounts will receive an email announcing this change. An in-product notification will guide them through migrating their content to Flow."

NHTSA Intensifies Investigation into Tesla's FSD Safety Issues
- Investigation Escalation: The NHTSA has intensified its investigation into Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, covering 3.2 million vehicles built since 2016, as potential safety defects may arise in low visibility conditions, posing a recall risk for Tesla if defects are confirmed.
- System Deficiencies: NHTSA's findings indicate that in nine studied incidents, the degradation detection system of FSD failed to timely identify common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility, resulting in no alerts before crashes, including one fatal incident involving a pedestrian, highlighting the system's inherent dangers.
- Potential Costs: Should NHTSA mandate a recall, Tesla may need to develop a software update to comply with investigation requirements, which might not incur significant financial losses; however, if forced to rename or disable the FSD system, it could severely impact Tesla's cash flow and reputation.
- Investor Vigilance: While Tesla's stock often appears resilient to negative news, a recall or ban on the FSD system would fundamentally affect the investment narrative surrounding Tesla, prompting investors to closely monitor NHTSA's developments for potential market implications.
