In AI-related news, the price of chip stocks surged, with giant NVIDIA replacing Microsoft as the world’s most-valued public company. The catalyst drove prices of AI-related tokens higher in the past 24 hours.
AI industry updates from last week, Apple’s announcement of Siri 2.0 at the WWDC, Luma Labs’ new AI model launch for video generation and NVIDIA’s open source model Nemotron’s release are likely the other catalysts driving AI prices higher.
