We explore the fracturing hardware supply chain, highlighted by Apple's preliminary chip deal with Intel and a collapse in global motherboard sales due to soaring RAM prices. We also dive into the courtroom drama of Mira Murati testifying against Sam Altman, the surprising compute truce between Elon Musk's SpaceX and Anthropic, OpenAI's push to build 30 million AI smartphones by 2027, and a landmark Harvard study proving AI can outperform ER doctors in diagnostic triage.
