SOXL surges nearly 11% as semiconductors stage a violent rebound ahead of Big Tech earnings, with TSMC's CFO reaffirming strong U.S. demand behind its $100B expansion. • China's open-weight AI offensive widens: Moonshot's Kimi K3 hits frontier-level performance and eyes a Hong Kong IPO at a $30B valuation, while Alibaba drops Qwen Image 3.0 into multimodal territory. • Google is developing a custom Gemini inference chip to cut serving costs and reduce Nvidia dependence, deepening its vertical silicon strategy against OpenAI and Anthropic. • Anthropic's $1.5B author copyright settlement wins final court approval — the largest AI training-data liability payout ever, setting a concrete cost benchmark every frontier lab must now price in. • AI systems from the Xena Project are generating novel mathematical counterexamples that stump human experts, marking a milestone in formal reasoning and the frontier of pure mathematical discovery.
