🦔Goldman Sachs reports that companies are blowing past their AI inference budgets by orders of magnitude, with inference costs in engineering now approaching 10% of total headcount costs and potentially reaching parity with salaries within several quarters. KPMG surveyed 2,100 senior leaders and found US companies plan to spend an average of $178 million on AI over the next 12 months, with Asia-Pacific firms budgeting $245 million and EMEA $157 million. The two reports together show companies are spending more than planned and intend to spend even more. My Take Inference costs approaching headcount parity is an extraordinary number that most finance teams did not model when they approved their AI strategies twelve months ago. The compute crunch, electrical component shortages, and GPU spot prices up 48% in two months are all flowing into corporate operating costs faster than anyone budgeted for, and Goldman's trajectory suggests it accelerates from here. What I find hard to reconcile is that $178 million average sitting alongside enterprise data showing eight in ten workers are either avoiding AI tools or not using them at all. Companies are committing to nine-figure inference budgets while their own employees aren't using what's already been deployed. I've watched this dynamic build all year and my honest read is that a significant portion of this spending is driven by competitive fear rather than demonstrated returns. Nobody wants to be the company that didn't invest in AI when everyone else did. That's how bubbles get funded, and at some point boards are going to demand a number that justifies it. Hedgie🤗

Neobanks are the new kings of banking. With almost 40% of the new banking relationships worldwide, 52% satisfied with their bank, and 72% of consumers now have two or more banks. A few years ago, there was a serious debate about whether neobanks were just a passing trend or here to stay. These numbers don’t lie with big neobank gains worldwide: ↳ 39% of new banking relationships ↳ 19% of all bank accounts ↳ 5% of revenue share While the 5% revenue share figure above may raise eyebrows, don’t expect this low figure to last. There are clear signals of increased profitability, with revenue per customer jumping to USD 100 per account per year, up from USD 75 just 24 months ago. This increase comes from users becoming more comfortable with digital-only services and shifting lending, deposit, crypto, and investment activity. Critics were correct in that initially, there were far too many neobanks, and the overall number of neobanks has declined. But the global leaders that remain are a real threat with rates and low fees that incumbents can’t match. Nubank and Revolut alone added more than 50 million users in the past 24 months, making them the fastest-growing banks in the world. Globally, more than 20 institutions now exceed 10 million customers, and roughly 100 have passed the one-million-user mark. The few areas where incumbents still lead are trust, fraud protection, and customer support. Trust was always neobank’s “Achilles heel” and remains a shrinking advantage for incumbents. I’ll use myself as an example. I went from four primary incumbent banking relationships to seven, with three neobanks added in recent years. Yes, the incumbents have more of my money, but frankly, that is changing by the month. Can incumbents keep up? Don’t count on it. Hampered by legacy tech and mentality, they will have a hard time besting fast-moving neobanks with new products, gamification, low-fee monetization, and leveraging AI. This doesn’t mean incumbents are doomed, as they have deep societal connections that will keep them afloat for years. That said, we can expect them to have dwindling relevance, particularly to clients in their 30’s (or older ones like me!) who are comfortable with digital relationships. The question remains: Who’s the new banking king? It’s the neobanks. Their rise is unstoppable. #fintech #tech #finserv #AI @BetaMoroney @efipm @BrettKing @spirosmargaris @jasuja @enricomolinari @mikeflache https://t.co/nABMTV2NvY

Here are 20+ of the biggest launches, announcements, and funding rounds in AI agents this week. (save for later) https://t.co/Rmusu4QIgx

Apple’s new immersive video, “New York City,” is incredibly well-made. I’m not a huge fan of big cities, especially New York City but this video actually made me love the city. We need more of this Apple, if possible, weekly. Thank you #AppleVisionPro #Apple #Appleimmersive #spatialcomputing

We're introducing a new Search experience in Chrome in the U.S. today that makes it easier to access and engage with content and dive deeper into what you find, all without switching tabs. Now, when you click on a webpage from AI Mode in Chrome desktop, it opens side-by-side with your conversation so you can reference the context of your search, ask follow-up questions and more.

a bot introduced me to an ice cream shop that's been open since 1955 — and it's around the corner from @browserbase. SF locals please don't come for me 😭🍦 📍Polly Ann scoop rating: 10/10 bot rating: 10/10 https://t.co/V4JNno7U7R

AI agents now have pets. 🐶 and now I can feel what they’re doing. 🐶 excited → work getting done 🐱 sleeping → idle 🐺 pacing → stuck 🐵 celebrating → task complete They follow. They react. They bring everything to life. This is not a dashboard anymore. It’s alive.

OpenClaw 4.15 just dropped (@openclaw) and yes, it FINALLY sucks less 😅 We break down what actually changed, whether the memory fixes work, and if it's worth upgrading. (Spoiler: it's still half-baked — but usable.) https://t.co/BxtAAG5nHa

I don't understand the actual concern here. What is the actual risk from uploading a manuscript under review to an LLM for reviewer feedback? (Also, citations from 2023 about the capabilities of LLMs are not very reassuring.) https://t.co/XP0ElBmwjb
