ARK Invest bought about $24.7 million of CoreWeave shares days before Cathie Wood urged investors to track where AI agents spend money. For now ARK's money is on the compute agents consume, and the fight over which payment network they use is still being argued in papers and protocols.

Cognition says its SWE-2 model produced up to 4.8 times more total token throughput on Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72 than on GB200, in a test on CoreWeave. The company-run result points to more agent capacity per system, but whether long coding tasks get cheaper depends on what the new systems cost per hour.

CoreWeave now rents Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72 racks, with first customer Cognition reporting up to 4.8x the token throughput on SWE-2 inference. That figure is a best case from a single inference workload, and it is the only customer result behind the launch.

Ten-year Treasury yields near 5.17%, the highest since 2007, raise the cost of the $4.1 trillion in AI debt JPMorgan expects through 2030. Oracle fell 7% this week as CoreWeave rose almost 8%, a split that follows Oracle's campus news more than rate exposure.
