Oil prices surged past $82 per barrel amid diminishing hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal and a record low U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, while Nvidia and Meta ramp up significant AI investments and open-source model releases.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ The Wire takeaway
