Google's pilot paying about 100 publishers for AI Overview use returns small and mid-sized members roughly a tenth of a percent of their ad revenue. For most members the check cannot stand in for lost clicks, so the case for joining rests on the usage data and on what a site covers.

Anchorage Digital is cutting about 17% of staff, an estimated 68 jobs, eight months after Tether's $100 million investment valued it at $4.2 billion. That price covered a roughly 2.4% stake, and Anchorage's own 2023 record points to a cost cut it has reversed before.

China asked Alibaba and ByteDance how many Nvidia RTX Pro 5500s they want, with H200 deliveries at a few percent of the 400,000-plus it approved. Shipments sit far below both governments' ceilings, so the limit is in the conditions and oversight attached to them.

The seven-month numbers behind DeepSeek's pre-IPO round pair the best gross margin anyone reports with one of the smallest revenue lines. A Shanghai filing would put both on the record.

Tesla has raised Optimus output tenfold to several hundred robots a week, The Information reports, with hand assembly and suppliers slowing the path to 1,000. Early units will be leased and the V3 is an interim design, so hitting that rate would prove the factory before it proves robot revenue.
