Perplexity has made an unsolicited $34.5 billion offer to acquire Google Chrome, far exceeding its own estimated $18 billion valuation. This move comes months after the AI search startup publicly stated it would pursue Chrome if regulators forced Google to sell. Google has not expressed any intention to sell, and no legal orders require it.
Investors have historically turned to gold because of its stability. Gold can act like a safety net in your portfolio because its value tends to stay afloat – even when the stock market dives. It’s also considered a hedge against inflation, meaning its value can rise as the buying power of cash goes down. Check out our list of top-rated Gold IRA providers, including some that offer educational materials for gold-investing beginners.
Artificial intelligence is fueling one of the largest wealth creation waves in history. Startups like Anthropic, OpenAI, Safe Superintelligence, and Anysphere have seen valuations soar, producing dozens of billionaires this year alone. CB Insights counts 498 AI companies valued over $1 billion, with 100 launched in just the past two years.
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to back Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup raising at an $850M valuation, with Sam Altman co-founding and the project aiming to compete directly with Elon Musk's Neuralink. Alex Blania, who leads Altman’s iris-scanning World, will oversee the initiative, while Altman will serve as co-founder but not take an operational role.
Mistral released Mistral Medium 3.1, an upgraded model that shows improvements in overall performance and creative writing.
