Apple (AAPL) Isn't Going To Buy Perplexity, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s shares have lost 12% year-to-date as investors remain concerned about the firm's iPhone sales, lack of an AI product, and the impact of trade tensions between the US and China on its smartphone supply chain. In his previous comments about Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Cramer has asserted that CEO Tim Cook has to spend in America to build factories and infrastructure to boost local production. He discussed whether Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) would acquire Perplexity this time around: '[On Morgan Stanley reiterates $235 and saying Services might be better than it thinks] Ben Reitzes is out there saying look the 200 dollar subscription if he buys Perplexity. Now, I was listening to my great friend Jeff Sonnenfield talk about how how unreliable these are and his conclusion was, well, you know you gotta be careful. You gotta look at them all. My conclusion is, why do you think they're building so many data centers? Because they're not scraping enough. People are building data centers because they want to line the pockets of GE Vernonva? I mean come on. They need more data centers because they're not accurate enough. But they will get accurate. And the idea of Apple buying Perplexity and doing subscription, they're not going to do it. They're not going to do it because they don't buy anybody. But you know that is the hobgoblin of little [inaudible] there. You gotta buy, you need AI.' While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Analyst Explains How NVIDIA (NVDA) Can Reach $8 Trillion Market Cap
NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the . Nigam Arora from The Arora Report said in a recent program on Schwab Network that NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) can hit $8 trillion market cap. Here is how Arora backed his thesis: 'When we were saying aggressive buy Nvidia, it was a $300 million company. Because at that time, people are saying, 'Yeah, maybe AI, maybe not, maybe it's a fad.' And, you know, we were convicted AI is real. And now everybody knows what happened, right? So the next big thing is robotics. Two kind of robots, right? One of the industrial robots that we already see like in Amazon warehouse and so on. They're going to grow a lot, but we're talking about humanoid robots, right? The kind that Elon Musk shows serving drinks and things like that. So it's a future. We really cannot predict the future for sure, but we have to have some imagination, right? So there are some predictions, you know, if you look through some models that human-eye robots could be as big as a $3 trillion market. That's a huge huge market. I mean it could be bigger than cars and you and I will be having our own robots, right. So the question is how do you benefit from it? Tesla is obviously one. But then who's going to provide the brains, the chips, the software and all the infrastructure that is going to take to, you know, not only robots at the edge but also in the data centers to control all that and there's nobody else like Nvidia.' With its latest numbers and stock performance, Nvidia was able to prove the skeptics wrong. In its recently reported quarter, Nvidia's data center computer revenue rose 76% year over year, driven by Blackwell GB200. The company is finding new catalysts for growth. Saudi Arabia's Humain plans to buy more than 200,000 AI GPUs from Nvidia, potentially generating $15 billion in sales. The UAE reportedly has an agreement for up to 500,000 GPUs. Even without China's involvement for now, Nvidia said nearly 100 AI factories are under construction. These factories have hyperscalers deploying 1,000 GB200 NVL72 racks weekly, each with 72,000 Blackwell GPUs. Mar Vista Global Quality Strategy stated the following regarding NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter: 'NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares rebounded from their calendar Q1 lows as investor concerns over DeepSeek's efficiency gains and U.S. government restrictions on advanced AI semiconductors, such as NVIDIA's H20 family of GPUs, proved overstated. Demand for NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell platform remains strong, fueled by the growing complexity of large language models and the emergence of reasoning-based applications. As CEO Jensen Huang noted, reasoning tasks can require up to 10 times the compute power of training a conventional large language model. With the AI market still in the early stages of a multi-year infrastructure build-out, NVIDIA is well-positioned to capture significant value as the industry standard for accelerated computing.'

Youmio Selects Avalanche to Launch the First Layer 1 Chain for AI Agents
Youmio is a Layer 1 blockchain built to be the world's leading agent chain, supporting intelligent software agents as core network participants. The chain introduces foundational infrastructure for autonomous agents to operate across apps, games and digital environments. "Agents are the interface layer of AI, but without public infrastructure they'll be owned, tracked and unverifiable,' said Michael O'Connor, co-founder and CEO of Youmio. 'As we outsource decisions to them, we need agents we can trust. Youmio provides open infrastructure where agents act transparently, with identity, memory and provenance onchain, and privacy controls in the hands of users." Unlike general purpose L1s, Youmio is structured around agent behavior: each agent has a wallet, modular skills and an evolving metadata state. Outputs can be optionally minted as cryptographic proofs. Avalanche's infrastructure offers the speed, low latency and consensus finality needed for real time agent coordination. With over 6 million funded wallets and 3 million monthly active users, it provides a strong foundation for deploying agent-native systems at scale. 'Youmio is thinking clearly about what agents actually need at the protocol level, enabling massive tokenization of AI agents on Avalanche,' said Luigi DeMeo of Ava Labs. 'Instead of fitting agents into an old model, they're creating the purpose-built foundation from the start.' The first application on the chain is Youmio's launchpad for creating intelligent, 3D AI characters known as Mios. Each Mio is multi-agentic by design, able to evolve over time, develop personality through interaction and move fluidly across games, apps and digital environments. The launchpad also introduces a new agent-token model: a single token can now represent an ecosystem of linked agents with rewards tied to usage, behavior or creator-defined rules. To accelerate the ecosystem, O'Connor has joined the investment committee of InfraBUIDL(AI), a $15 million initiative from the Avalanche Foundation supporting AI projects. 'We're investing in builders who are ready to push the limits of what agents can do and help shape the leading agent chain in the process,' said O'Connor. Youmio will work closely with the Avalanche Foundation to fund and empower external creators, offering capital, infrastructure and distribution across a growing network of agent-driven applications. About Youmio Youmio is a blockchain ecosystem for creating, distributing and verifying AI agents. As the first purpose-built agent chain, it offers creative tools, modular infrastructure and integrated distribution to power verifiable agents. By enabling agent provenance and authorship to be anchored onchain, Youmio supports transparent systems that address core risks around trust, security and privacy in AI. Through Youmio's launchpad, anyone can create 3D AI characters that are personal, expressive and alive. These multi-agentic characters reason, act and evolve through interaction. They move fluidly across the web, apps, games and social platforms, carrying memory and context wherever they go. About Avalanche Avalanche is an ultra-fast, low-latency blockchain platform designed for builders who need high performance at scale. The network's architecture allows for the creation of sovereign, efficient and fully interoperable public and private layer 1 (L1) blockchains which leverage the Avalanche Consensus Mechanism to achieve high throughput and near-instant transaction finality. The ease and speed of launching an L1, and the breadth of architectural customization choices, make Avalanche the perfect environment for a composable multi-chain future. Supported by a global community of developers and validators, Avalanche offers a fast, low-cost environment for building decentralized applications (dApps). With its combination of speed, flexibility, and scalability, Avalanche is the platform of choice for innovators pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology. The Avalanche Foundation is a non-profit entity that fosters the advancement and growth of the Avalanche platform for the world. The Foundation offers development programs for developers, entrepreneurs, and users to help the advancement of the Avalanche ecosystem.
