⛵ AP Partners With Kalshi
Good Morning, Early Adopters!
We don’t just test tools; we recognize when the entire stack starts moving beneath our feet.
AP Partners With Kalshi
TL;DR: The Associated Press will supply its gold-standard U.S. election vote counts and race calls to prediction market Kalshi ahead of upcoming primaries, integrating live results into the platform. The deal expands AP’s elections business and gives Kalshi users real-time official data alongside market forecasts, following AP’s broader push to distribute trusted results across major media outlets.
TOGETHER WITH NEBIUS

We deliver managed inference with explicit control over execution paths: speculative decoding, cache-aware routing, and post-training tuned to real traffic. Predictable tail latency, stable cost, and production-grade systems for AI that actually ships.
Starlink’s 2027 Mobile Ambition
TL;DR: SpaceX said at Mobile World Congress that a faster Starlink Mobile V2 service is planned for mid-2027, using spectrum from its multibillion-dollar EchoStar deal to deliver 5G-like voice, data, and video in dead zones worldwide. But the upgrade depends on deploying next-generation satellites via the reusable Starship rocket, which has yet to achieve full operational reusability.
Charter and Cox Win FCC Nod
TL;DR: The Federal Communications Commission approved the $34.5 billion merger between Charter Communications and Cox Communications, clearing the way for two of the largest U.S. cable providers to combine. The decision came after the companies pledged to drop diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, addressing concerns raised by FCC Chair Brendan Carr and removing the final regulatory hurdle.
Duolingo Shares Plunge on 2026 Outlook
TL;DR: Duolingo stock tumbled about 26% after the company issued weaker-than-expected 2026 guidance, despite strong Q4 and full-year 2025 results that topped $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time. CEO Luis von Ahn said 2026 will prioritize user growth and improving the free tier, even at the expense of near-term financial performance, alarming investors.
Supreme Court Rejects AI Copyright
TL;DR: The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a case challenging whether AI-generated art can be copyrighted, leaving intact lower court rulings that works without human authorship aren’t eligible for protection. The dispute stemmed from Stephen Thaler’s attempt to copyright an AI-created image, reinforcing federal guidance that purely AI-generated art lacks copyright status.
Vodafone Taps Amazon Leo Satellites
TL;DR: Telecom Giant Vodafone signed a deal to use Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite network, Amazon Leo, for cellular backhaul in remote parts of Europe and Africa, starting in 2026. The partnership will connect rural 4G and 5G base stations without costly fiber, boosting coverage and resilience, while Vodafone continues separate direct-to-device satellite plans with AST SpaceMobile.
X Introduces Paid Partnership Label
TL;DR: X just launched a new “Paid Partnership” label that lets creators clearly mark sponsored posts without relying on hashtags like #ad. Announced by head of product Nikita Bier, the feature supports regulatory compliance and transparency, as X tries to attract more creators and curb undisclosed promotions and AI-generated spam.
Edtech Boom Linked to Score Declines
TL;DR: Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath argues that widespread classroom AI technology, fueled by over $30 billion in U.S. spending on laptops and tablets, coincides with declining reading and math scores. Citing Utah data and global trends, he says computers and AI tools have weakened learning by fostering dependency, urging schools to refocus on traditional literacy and numeracy foundations.
