According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Grok 4.3 (beta) has been made available to users subscribed to the highest tier, SuperGrok Heavy. On the 17th, users noticed the version marked with 'Early Access' in the dropdown menu on Grok.com. On the morning of the 18th, X user Mark Kretschmann posted that this version features 1T parameters, double the size of Grok 4.20, with significantly longer training time. Elon Musk, CEO of xAI and Tesla, later corrected in the same tweet that the current 4.3 (beta) is still a 0.5T model, merely an updated training checkpoint, and not the new 1T model speculated by the public. Musk also revealed that the actual 1T flagship is about 5 days away from completing its initial training. He described the 1T model as having a leap in coding, long context, and various skills, and mentioned that the SpaceXAI model factory is now operational, with plans to release an improved base model every two weeks.

On April 18, Polymarket launched a new market for 'Anthropic's Next Funding Deadline,' currently reporting a 22% probability before the end of June and an 81% probability before the end of December. The event contract rules state that if the specified company publicly and officially announces the completion of its next funding round by the specified date (Eastern Time), the market will be settled as 'yes.' Otherwise, it will be settled as 'no.' A qualifying announcement must clearly confirm that the new funding round has been completed, which can be done through official announcements from the specified company (such as press releases), its investors, regulatory filings, or consensus from credible media reports. Informal announcements, statements from anonymous sources, or leaks do not qualify. If the specified company is unable to complete the new funding round due to acquisition, merger, or absorption by another entity, the market will be settled as 'no.' The primary settlement sources for this market will be the official announcements from the specified company, as well as official documents such as SEC filings; however, credible consensus reporting may also be used.

On April 18, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz led to a 13-day consecutive rise in the Nasdaq, setting new highs, while West Texas Intermediate crude oil saw a sharp decline and gold and silver prices surged. Looking ahead, Matt Powers, managing partner at Powers Advisory Group, stated that the market may have reached a short-term bottom, but the overall trend remains highly dependent on external factors. Powers warned that the current market is still a typical 'headline-driven market.' Movements in oil prices, the Federal Reserve's policy pace, and changes in geopolitical situations could quickly alter market sentiment. Powers noted that the rapid recovery of U.S. stocks indicates that the underlying market trend remains solid, reflecting a considerable resilience to pressure. He emphasized that for the market to continue its upward momentum, more sectors and individual stocks need to participate to enhance market breadth. Additionally, corporate earnings performance will be a key factor supporting the market. UBS strategists also indicated that there is still room for U.S. stocks to rise over the next year, thanks to strong corporate profit growth and a robust U.S. economy.

On April 18, a reporter from NewsNation asked Trump about his previous claim that he had reached nearly all agreements with Iran, while Iran had a different narrative. So, what agreements were ultimately reached? Trump replied that he was "just speaking the truth." He stated, "They have to say something different because they also have to cater to others.
