On April 17, a survey conducted by Bloomberg from April 9 to 15 indicated that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise interest rates in June due to an increase in inflation caused by the war in Iran. However, this 0.25 percentage point hike is likely to be the only such move, as the conflict is not expected to cause long-term price shocks. The survey predicts that inflation in the Eurozone will rise to 2.8% this year, up from a previous forecast of 2%. It is then expected to decline to 2.1% by 2026 and to 2% by 2027, aligning with the ECB's target. According to informed sources, ECB officials currently tend to favor keeping interest rates unchanged at the next meeting at the end of April. Some, including the President of the German central bank, believe that the possibility of taking action at that time cannot be ruled out. (Jinshi)

On April 17, Elon Musk stated that a universal high income provided by the federal government is the best solution to address unemployment caused by artificial intelligence. The growth of goods and services produced by AI and robotics will far exceed the growth of the money supply, thus not triggering inflation.

On April 17, Brazilian President Lula criticized U.S. President Trump during a media interview on the 16th, opposing the U.S. tendency to threaten other countries with war. Lula stated that Trump cannot casually threaten other nations with military action, as no country has the right to undermine the territorial integrity of another. He emphasized that all nations must respect each other's sovereignty. Lula also mentioned that the interventionist policies pursued by the Trump administration could exacerbate global tensions. The U.S. military strikes against Iran have already affected some African and Latin American countries, forcing their populations to bear the rising costs of food and living expenses.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Perplexity has begun to roll out Personal Computer to Max subscribers and those on the waiting list. The official statement indicates that this feature integrates with the Perplexity Mac App, allowing for the secure orchestration of local files, native applications, and browsers. Perplexity previously disclosed on its official website that Personal Computer operates on a dedicated Mac mini that can be online 24/7, with sensitive operations requiring user approval and maintaining a complete audit log and kill switch. Perplexity aims not to sell just another desktop assistant, but to advance the narrative that 'AI is the computer' to local devices, moving from helping users gather information and adjust tools to directly executing tasks continuously on behalf of users. It specifically targets the orchestration costs that high-frequency knowledge workers find most frustrating, transforming computers from mere command executors to goal executors.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, The Information exclusively reports that OpenAI has signed a three-year computing power procurement agreement with AI chip company Cerebras worth at least $20 billion, more than double the $10 billion disclosed publicly in January this year. In exchange, OpenAI will receive warrants for minority shares in Cerebras; if OpenAI's procurement spending reaches the $30 billion cap over three years, the corresponding equity stake could increase to 10%. Additionally, OpenAI will provide approximately $1 billion to Cerebras specifically for funding the construction of data centers for OpenAI's use. The real key to this contract arrangement is not the amount, but the accounting structure. The agreement is designed as an 'operating capital deposit': OpenAI can record the $1 billion data center investment as an asset and classify part of the procurement payments to Cerebras as interest income to offset some of the actual computing power expenses. OpenAI also plans to extend this structure to other cloud providers and chip companies. For a company planning to spend $45 billion this year, $90 billion next year, and a total of $650 billion over five years on computing power while preparing for an IPO, this accounting method of converting part of procurement expenses into assets and interest income is directly related to how the prospectus will tell its story. Cerebras will submit its IPO prospectus this Friday, aiming to raise about $3 billion with a valuation of $35 billion, a 60% premium over the $22 billion valuation from the most recent private placement in February this year. The company withdrew its IPO documents submitted in September 2024 and shifted to an $1.1 billion private placement in October. The timing of OpenAI's disclosure coincides with the day before the prospectus, making it a crucial card for Cerebras to explain its doubled valuation to investors. Previous IPO documents indicated that Group 42, a client of UAE AI giant G42, contributed 83% of Cerebras' revenue in 2023 and 87% in the first half of 2024. Now, with OpenAI and Amazon (which recently reached an agreement to lease Cerebras chips to AWS customers), the customer structure has finally expanded. This deal is also the latest case of the 'circular financing' structure in the AI industry over the past year: OpenAI and Meta previously announced 'procurement + equity' agreements with AMD, while Nvidia signed a $20 billion licensing and employee recruitment contract with Cerebras competitor Groq at the end of last year, and has long provided financing to numerous cloud providers reselling its chips. The $122 billion investment commitment disclosed by OpenAI last month mainly comes from Amazon and Nvidia, both of which are also OpenAI's cloud and chip suppliers. This round of funding for AI infrastructure is not new capital flowing into the industry from outside, but rather a circulation of invoices among several giants.
