    enMay 21, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • ArcelorMiddle accuses Venfast of patent infringement, Lee Otto delays electric SUV launch, Microsoft introduces new AI PCsArcelorMiddle accuses Venfast of patent infringement, Lee Otto delays electric SUV launch due to charging infrastructure issues, Microsoft introduces fastest AI PCs, ArcelorMiddle's MT up 0.3%, Venfast's VFS down 10.7%, Microsoft's new AI PCs have minimal impact on stock prices

      There are significant developments in the automotive and tech industries, with two major companies, ArcelorMiddle and Venfast, and Microsoft, making headlines. ArcelorMiddle is accusing Venfast of patent infringement related to high strength aluminum and aluminum alloy coated steel in imported vehicles. Microsoft, on the other hand, has introduced the fastest most AI PC ever built, called co-pilot plus PCs, which are expected to sell in large numbers this year with partnerships from major tech companies and OpenAI. In the automotive sector, Lee Otto, a Chinese automaker, has delayed the launch of its all-electric SUVs due to the lack of sufficient branded charging stations and display spots. In the stock market, ArcelorMiddle's pre-market MT is up 0.3%, while Venfast's VFS is down 10.7%. Microsoft's earnings report and the introduction of its new AI PCs have not significantly affected the stock prices as of now.

    • New Microsoft AI PCs with Recall AI product announced, powered by Qualcomm chipsMicrosoft's new AI PCs, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XE Elite chips, offer faster performance than a MacBook Air and include a new AI product called Recall. Recall, which will only work on co-premier league soccer matches, internally tracks device actions and ensures data security.

      Microsoft's new AI PCs, set to ship on June 18, are not only faster than a MacBook Air but also come with a new AI product called Recall. Recall, which will only work on the new co-premier league soccer matches, is powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon XE Elite chips and internally tracks virtually every action on the device. Microsoft ensures all data remains secure and is not being used to train models. In other news, several articles on Seeking Alpha discuss topics such as bank stocks, surging stocks, and upcoming conferences featuring notable keynote speakers. The JP Morgan Global TMT conference, the American Thoracic Conference, IBM's Think 2024 event, and Microsoft's annual build event for developers are among the events to look out for. Additionally, WTI crude June futures have seen extra volatility on contract expiration dates, and Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ futures are in mixed territory, with crude oil down and Bitcoin up. The FTSE 100 and DAX are also down in the world markets. Overall, the tech industry is gearing up for several significant events, and the markets continue to show volatility.
