On April 8, at 2 AM Beijing time on Thursday, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes from its March meeting. Notably, the March meeting was held against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East. These minutes will reveal how officials weighed these risks before the latest round of tensions, and how relevant their thoughts at that time remain today. Since the outbreak of the Iran conflict on February 28, borrowing costs have risen sharply, placing significant pressure on the market, which has effectively tightened the financial environment even without any policy action from the Fed. The market's expectations for the direction of interest rates will also be a focal point. During the March meeting, the market still anticipated that the Fed would cut rates once later this year. While this view has not completely dissipated, it has become increasingly tenuous. Rising oil prices and a tighter financial environment make it harder for the Fed to find excuses for easing. The meeting may also have discussed factors that could compel officials to consider raising rates again, which will certainly pique investors' interest.

According to monitoring by 1M AI News, AI spatial intelligence company World Labs has recently updated its 3D world generation model Marble, introducing two new models: Marble 1.1 and Marble 1.1 Plus. Marble 1.1 becomes the new default model, improving lighting, contrast, and reducing visual artifacts, with a fixed generation cost of 1,500 credits per use, consistent with the previous generation Marble 1.0. The Marble 1.1 Plus is the more noteworthy update. Previously, all Marble models had a fixed range for generated 3D world space, but the Plus version introduces automatic space expansion for the first time: when input prompts involve outdoor or large indoor scenes, the model will automatically increase the 3D space coverage without requiring users to manually extend the boundaries. The pricing has also shifted to a variable model, with a base fee of 1,500 credits plus a variable generation fee of up to 1,500 credits, depending on the extent of the model's space expansion. This is the first time Marble has adopted variable pricing. Both models can be accessed via the World API, supporting four input methods: text, a single image, multi-angle images, and video, with a single generation taking approximately 5 minutes. The original Marble 1.0 and 1.0 Draft (quick draft version, 150 credits per use) remain available. World Labs was co-founded by Stanford University computer science professor Fei-Fei Li and focuses on spatial intelligence, having completed a $1 billion funding round in February this year, with investors including AMD, NVIDIA, and Autodesk.
