Meta is cutting roughly ten percent of its global workforce, affecting around eight thousand employees. The move signals that even the most profitable platforms in tech aren't immune to pressure, as Meta doubles down on AI infrastructure while trimming the human headcount behind it. The trade-off is becoming a familiar one across the industry.
Meanwhile, in the world of AI valuations, Anthropic has quietly overtaken OpenAI on secondary markets, with shares implying a one trillion dollar valuation compared to OpenAI's eight hundred eighty billion. That reversal, unthinkable just three months ago, reflects how quickly investor sentiment can shift when the competition between frontier AI labs feels genuinely open.
And in crypto, the year's biggest hack is sending shockwaves through decentralized finance. A two hundred ninety two million dollar breach of KelpDAO has rattled Aave, prompting an unusual show of solidarity from rivals Lido and EtherFi, who are stepping in to help contain the damage. It's a reminder that in DeFi, the walls between competitors get thin when the whole ecosystem is at risk.
