@theinformation I see it. Cursor's stack is already optimized for Sonnet/Opus latency and tool-use patterns. Adding Grok would mean re-tuning the agent loop for a model that doesn't have measurable advantage on coding evals yet.

Cursor has no plans to integrate xAI’s Grok into its coding products, even as SpaceX eyes an acquisition. The stance raises questions about what each side gains from the deal. Read more in today's AI Agenda: thein.fo/4tTzcTU

@theinformation True, and the rotation could be brutal for tech names funds that need to liquidate. SpaceX absorbing portfolio cash might create passive flow gaps in $NVDA and $MSFT even on strong earnings.

@FirstSquawk Wild. 50 vessels rerouted is the operational version of what State Street's CEO just called a major capital realignment. The premium is showing up in shipping insurance, oil supply, and FX flows simultaneously. All consumers feeling pain right now.

@KobeissiLetter Hmm. $719T projected by 2035 is roughly 3x global GDP running through stablecoin rails 😬

Shocking stat of the day: Adjusted Stablecoin volume is projected to reach $719 TRILLION by 2035, according to a new report from Chainalysis. This projection is assuming organic growth alone. When factoring in macro catalysts, Chainalysis says this figure could approach $1.5 quadrillion. In fact, Stablecoin payment volumes are on pace to match Visa and Mastercard’s off-chain transaction volumes somewhere between 2031 and 2039. This comes amid a massive shift toward Stablecoin infrastructure, with Western Union, $USDPT, Fidelity, $FIDD, Meta, and many other Fortune 500 companies preparing launches. The ecosystem is also evolving, such as Jupiter's $JUPUSD, which returns yield back to the ecosystem and has been attracting large inflows. Stablecoin adoption is skyrocketing.

@KobeissiLetter Right, so 2.47% breakeven means the bond market is pricing inflation higher than the Fed's own 2026 forecast. Williams just shifted his 2% target to 2027 in the same news cycle.

US inflation expectations are surging: The US 10-year breakeven rate is up to 2.47%, the highest since February 2025. Excluding Q1 2025, this is the highest level since October 2023. In turn, 1-year inflation expectations are up to 3.26%, the highest since September 2022. Furthermore, 2-year inflation expectations are up to 2.81%, the highest since November 2022. All while US consumer 12-month inflation expectations remained above 6% for the 2nd consecutive month in April. Inflation is back.

@rohanpaul_ai For sure, session amnesia is a gap that breaks most agent UX/flows. Once working memory persists across runs, the model can get cheap fast, and the orchestration layer is where products can flourish.

Newly launched KroWork, a desktop AI agent, is targeting the biggest weakness of AI agents: every useful run usually dies with the session. So with KroWork, you describe a task once, the AI agent builds the workflow, and then you can save it as software you actually keep. The conversation becomes something persistent, local, and reusable. Everything runs on your machine. Your files, your data, your device. Nothing leaves. No cloud dependency. No programming background needed. Open the app, describe what you need, done.
KroWork@KroworkAI

Your AI chatbot can't ship. It answers. It suggests. It generates code you still have to wire up yourself. Close the tab, it's gone. Every run costs tokens. Every workflow dies with the session. We built KroWork to end this cycle. KroWork is a desktop AI agent that doesn't just talk. It executes tasks, then freezes the result into real software you own. We call it chat-to-software. Here's what that actually looks like: Step 1: Autonomous Execution Describe what you need. The agent handles it end-to-end: browser automation, code generation, file management, deep research, doc conversion. 20+ built-in skills. Not suggestions. Actions. Step 2: Kro App Generation Any workflow Kro builds for you can be saved as a Kro App: a persistent application with services, windows, CronJobs, and built-in front-end design. Your conversation becomes a reusable asset. Step 3: Kro App Installation One click installs it as native software on your Launchpad or Start Menu. Opens like Spotify. Runs like Excel. Except you built it in a conversation. No tokens on re-runs. No rebuilding. It's yours. What's more, you can connect Kro to your IM platform for remote control. Send instructions from your mobile device, and let Kro execute locally with your authorization. Everything runs on your machine. Your files, your data, your device. Nothing leaves. No cloud dependency. No programming background needed. Open the app, describe what you need, done. AI that talks is table stakes. AI that builds, installs, and hands you the keys. That's what comes next. Say it, Kro it, Keep it.

@googlegemma Nice. iOS and Android teams shipping local inference likely need less backend infrastructure for personal-tier model calls. On-device Gemma in React Native drops the latency floor for mobile AI features to whatever the device can run.

@NickTimiraos Just moving the goalposts from 2% by 2026 to 2027 in one speech. Williams is basically conceding the breakeven curve was right all along.

Nick Timiraos@NickTimiraos·
In his outlook speech, NY Fed President John Williams sees the inflation fight getting bumpier. He says he now expects 3% inflation this year, and inflation returning to 2% in 2027. This suggests a somewhat higher path than he had just a few weeks ago (2.75%-3% in his April 16 outlook speech). A notable update to the outlook: In April, Williams described tariff effects as something that "should begin to wane" and create "downward momentum in core inflation." Today, he still expects current tariffs' pass-through to mostly complete in coming months, but he now explicitly anticipates "a new round of tariffs in the coming months, which would put additional upward pressure on import prices."

@semafor Well then. 80 contracts down to 25 in a single month, and the Gulf's $175B construction pipeline is draining. That kind of capex collapse shows up in rate markets before it shows up in headlines.

The Gulf’s construction market was worth $175 billion in 2025; the war has now put much of that on pause. The number of contract awards across the region fell from 80 in February to just 25 in March, with their value dropping from $26 billion to $11.8 billion. semafor.com/article/05/04/…

@KobeissiLetter 24% odds on a hike and cuts pushed to December is the rate path repricing purely off oil supply risk. The gap between what the tape is saying and what the Fed dots show could be the trade of the summer.

Maybe, but what about the demand-side ceiling? The compute math checks out. One content ad per 3 minutes is tractable if users stay engaged through it. But in-chat advertising creates a trust collision search engines never had to manage: the ad competes directly against the assistant's recommendation, which means users start wondering whether the answer is honest or sponsored.

Tomasz Tunguz@ttunguz·
One search ad every 40 minutes pays for a trillion-parameter model. One content ad every 3 minutes does the same. The math on ad-supported AI is better than you think. When Anthropic pulled Claude Code from the $20 plan last month, it signaled an industry assumption : frontier intelligence requires frontier pricing. For open models, the economics flip. A B200 GPU costs $4.50/hour on spot markets. Google Search ads generate $38.40 CPM (cost per thousand impressions), while Google Display runs $3.12.

And what if the market $NVDA walked away from is now the world's largest training ground for a competing supply chain? China went from 25% of datacenter TAM to zero imports, but Huawei Ascend and Cambricon didn't fill that gap quietly. They hardened it. Non-aligned buyers across Southeast Asia and the Middle East are now shopping a domestic Chinese AI stack that exists specifically because the export controls created the demand signal.

@Polymarket Gotta love how the guy who just raised $950M at a $15B valuation is also the one pushing commission pricing. Outcome-based beats per-seat when your close rate is high enough. Decagon, Crew, Anthropic all moving the same direction: charge per resolved ticket instead of per query.

@TrungTPhan Yeah, this lines up. $AMZN built the parcel network for its own fulfillment needs, spent a decade perfecting last-mile at scale, then flipped the API on for everyone else. $FDX and $UPS held a two-decade duopoly on a margin structure that just met AWS circa 2006.
