Samsung Electronics and its labour union plan to hold more talks on Tuesday in a bid to avert the biggest strike in the tech giant's history, amid concern that a walkout by more than 45,000 ‌workers could hit South Korea's economy and disrupt global supply chains. The threatened 18-day strike starting on Thursday comes amid an acute global shortage in ‌memory chips, which are essential components in AI data centres, smartphones and laptops.

With AI cloud competition heating up, this company that used to own Russia’s biggest search engine is making its case.

Starting next month, passengers catching morning flights out of Boston Logan International Airport will be able to go through a Transportation Security Administration screening outpost in Framingham, Mass., rather than a terminal. Shuttle buses will then whisk them roughly 25 miles to the airport, where they will be dropped off beyond the security checkpoint, avoiding crowded parking lots, chaotic curbsides and flight check-in queues. Passengers will be able to check in and drop their bags at the remote terminal in Framingham, housed in a newly constructed temporary building.

Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng said ‌on Monday it had ‌begun mass production of its first ​robotaxi at its Guangzhou headquarters, targeting fully driverless operations by early 2027. The Tesla rival is accelerating ‌its shift ⁠toward driverless vehicles and humanoid robotics as competition ⁠intensifies in the world’s largest auto market. The new robotaxi, ​built on ​Xpeng's GX ​platform, is China’s ‌first "production-ready, pre-assembled robotaxi model developed entirely with in-house technologies," the company said.

The Chinese search-engine operator recorded another sharp profit drop and a fourth straight quarter of revenue declines.

The period spans from when tariffs were imposed under the IEEPA to the US Supreme Court’s ruling that the law did not give President Trump authority to impose them.

In a nondescript building on Kirtland Air Force Base on the high desert of New Mexico, liquid-cooled supercomputers gurgle and hum their way through some of the most complex math problems the U.S. government seeks to solve: simulating how hypersonic nuclear weapons would ‌move through the earth's atmosphere, or what would happen if one nuclear warhead detonated near another. For more than a decade, the chips handling this secretive and demanding work ‌came from mainstream semiconductor firms like Nvidia or Advanced Micro Devices. But with those companies increasingly designing their chips for artificial intelligence and facing supply shortages, the managers in charge of the systems at Sandia National Laboratories, which operates ​the machines at Kirtland and is one of three U.S. labs tasked with developing and maintaining the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal, are increasingly unsure how they will find computing power for high-precision scientific work like theirs.

Buying Nvidia stock just before quarterly results has historically produced modest short-term gains, but the longer-term picture has been much stronger.

This is nightmare fuel for a historically expensive stock market that had already priced in additional rate cuts.
