OpenAI is pursuing a major private funding round at a valuation of about $1.4 trillion, excluding the new capital, after postponing its public listing plans beyond 2026. The fundraising push comes as the ChatGPT maker expands premium AI products and reports a sharply rising annualized revenue run rate.

Robinhood is rolling out new products aimed at active traders, including AI-powered agents, crypto perpetual futures and weekend trading for select U.S. stocks and ETFs. The brokerage is leaning further into crypto-style market structure as investor expectations shift toward longer hours, more automation and more ways to take risk.

Anthropic-linked pre-IPO perpetual futures traded slightly lower even as the AI firm outlined an enormous cloud, computing and infrastructure spending plan. The contracts continue to imply a valuation around $2 trillion, while traders remain mindful that the products are synthetic derivatives rather than equity stakes.

ARK Invest is bringing its ARK Venture Fund onto blockchain rails through Securitize, giving eligible investors tokenized interests in a portfolio that includes OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe and Databricks. The fund will launch first on Ethereum, with other networks potentially following as tokenization expands deeper into private markets.

December E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index futures moved sharply lower in pre-market trading as sellers pressed the AI and semiconductor trade. Technical levels weakened after the contract took out a key swing bottom and fell below its 50-day moving average.

Bitcoin advanced as technology and artificial intelligence shares came under pressure following renewed calls for slower AI development. Oil prices added another layer of market stress, with Brent crude climbing above $107 while precious metals retreated.

OpenAI says an experimental system of about 10,000 AI agents generated a proposed solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem in 88 hours. The claim has drawn intense attention from mathematicians, alongside questions over validation, originality, and whether related research may have influenced the model.

Jacob Coxon, a researcher who worked on pretraining at Anthropic and OpenAI, resigned with a stark warning about self-improving artificial intelligence. His claims have intensified debate over whether leading AI labs are moving too quickly, even as skeptics reject extinction scenarios.

Payward has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, gaining access to Claude Mythos 5 for defensive cybersecurity work. The Kraken parent plans to use the model across its environments and disclose third-party open-source vulnerabilities to maintainers.

The S&P 500 is fading after a recent record as long-dated Treasury yields climb to 19-year highs and challenge broad equity appetite. AI-linked strength remains visible, but elevated Brent crude and tighter debt costs are making the market more selective.

The effort underscores both the defensive promise of AI-assisted security research and the growing risk that attackers can use the same methods.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview model identified a weakness in HAWK, a proposed post-quantum digital-signature scheme not used by Bitcoin or Ethereum. The result does not affect current crypto transactions, but it underscores why developers are weighing migration paths before quantum-capable threats arrive.
