Billionaire investor Ray Dalio advised a 15% portfolio allocation to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) or gold, citing mounting U.S. debt concerns and potential currency devaluation risks.
What Happened: The Bridgewater Associates founder warned of a &#8220;classic devaluation&#8221; scenario similar to the 1970s or 1930s in an appearance on the Master Investor Podcast, where fiat currencies could decline together against hard assets. 
&#8220;If you were neutral on everything and optimizing your portfolio for the best return-to-risk ratio, you would have about 15% of your money in gold or Bitcoin,&#8221; Dalio stated.
Dalio expressed a strong preference for gold over Bitcoin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43317578/ray-dalio-owns-bitcoin-for-diversification-but-prefers-gold-as-the-purest-play-for-store-of-value">previously describing the precious metal</a> as the &#8220;purest play&#8221; for a store of value. Gold currently ranks as the second-largest reserve currency globally after the U.S. dollar, he noted. The billionaire holds both assets but maintains significantly larger gold positions than Bitcoin allocations.

Why It Matters: The veteran investor highlighted critical fiscal challenges facing the United States. Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43317578/ray-dalio-owns-bitcoin-for-diversification-but-prefers-gold-as-the-purest-play-for-store-of-value">government debt stands at 125% of GDP</a>, with the fiscal deficit reaching 7% of GDP—the highest among industrialized nations. 
Dalio proposed a &#8220;3% solution&#8221; requiring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43317578/ray-dalio-owns-bitcoin-for-diversification-but-prefers-gold-as-the-purest-play-for-store-of-value">immediate action to reduce the deficit</a> from 7.5% to 3% of GDP through combined tax increases and spending cuts.
While acknowledging Bitcoin&#8217;s perceived value as alternative money with limited supply and global transaction benefits, Dalio questioned its effectiveness as a reserve currency.

Ray Dalio Says 15% In Bitcoin Or Gold May Be Essential As Fiat Currencies Face Devaluation Risks

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban urged President Donald Trump&#8216;s crypto advisor, David Sacks, on Saturday to ban advertising in artificial intelligence models, warning against repeating social media&#8217;s algorithmic mistakes that prioritize revenue over user experience.
What Happened: &#8220;Hey David Sacks, my one request is that we make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising,&#8221; Cuban wrote on X. &#8220;The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.&#8221;
Cuban&#8217;s concerns emerge as major tech companies increasingly monetize AI-powered features. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) revealed its AI overviews <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485518/google-ais-search-revenue-matches-traditional-ads-says-alphabet-but-there-is-rising-competition-from-openai-perplexity-deepseek">achieve revenue rates matching traditional search results</a>, generating significant returns from its $54 billion fourth-quarter search advertising revenue.
The entrepreneur specifically highlighted undisclosed commercial relationships between AI models and brands. &#8220;They are already recommending brands and we don&#8217;t know if they are getting paid for it,&#8221; Cuban noted, calling for examination of referral fees in AI systems.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

Why It Matters: Google&#8217;s AI integration success contrasts sharply with Cuban&#8217;s regulatory vision. The search giant&#8217;s AI overviews now operate in over 100 countries, with Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler reporting monetization at &#8220;approximately the same rate&#8221; as conventional search <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485518/google-ais-search-revenue-matches-traditional-ads-says-alphabet-but-there-is-rising-competition-from-openai-perplexity-deepseek">during the fourth quarter of 2024 earnings calls</a>.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) projects generative AI revenues <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45160454/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-targets-1-4-trillion-revenue-from-generative-ai-by-2035-court-filing-reveals">reaching $460 billion to $1.4 trillion by 2035</a>, according to court filings in the Kadrey v. Meta copyright lawsuit.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted at Meta AI displaying ads during the first quarter earnings calls, with the company raising 2025 capital expenditure forecasts to $64-72 billion.
Goldman Sachs analyst Eric Sheridan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45573241/googles-ai-proves-its-boosting-not-disrupting-legacy-ad-monetization-analyst">maintains a $220 price target on Alphabet</a>, noting AI tools enhance rather than disrupt legacy advertising monetization.
The firm projects $326 billion in 2025 revenue for Alphabet, citing strong AI adoption across digital advertising platforms.
Cuban&#8217;s regulatory proposal faces headwinds as AI competition intensifies between Google, Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and China&#8217;s DeepSeek, with each platform developing sophisticated monetization strategies for their large language models.

Earnings Scheduled For July 28, 2025

Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) has been a standout stock in 2025, with a remarkable 129% increase since its IPO. However, CNBC host Jim Cramer has raised concerns about the company&#8217;s future in the stablecoin market.
What Happened: Cramer has expressed skepticism about its long-term competitive advantage in the stablecoin sector, as reported <a href="https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/circle-internet-group-crcl-might-not-have-anything-proprietary-says-jim-cramer-1576539/">by</a> Insider Monkey on Saturday.
"I question whether Circle is going to be proprietary," Cramer said. "Because anyone can set up a stablecoin. There's nothing proprietary about what they have. And that's my point."
He also voiced his reservations about the company&#8217;s future, stating, &#8220;It can be any part of the PARCs… Circle Internet Group, the red-hot recent IPO that I'm not particularly fond of because it's a stable coin play, and pretty soon, because of that GENIUS Act, I think it'll be flooded with stable coins.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Despite its recent success, Circle has been the subject of mixed opinions. Compass Point downgraded the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46538249/compass-point-calls-circle-overvalued-cuts-price-target-after-stablecoin-legislation-threatens-profit-outlook">stock rating from Neutral to Sell</a> last week and significantly reduced its price target following the latest U.S. stablecoin legislation.
This move came amid concerns about Circle&#8217;s long-term economic prospects at its current $53 billion valuation.
However, Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) has expressed confidence in CRCL, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46387454/citi-sees-30-upside-in-circle-stock-backs-usdc-issuer-as-key-player-in-stablecoin-market">seeing a 30% upside in the stock</a> and backing the company as a key player in the stablecoin market. The endorsement from Citi suggests that Circle Internet Group&#8217;s upward trajectory is far from over.
Price Action: Circle shares have risen 131.72% over the past six months, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Jim Cramer Slams Red-Hot Circle Stock: 'Anyone Can Set Up A Stablecoin' As GENIUS Act Casts Shadow On The Hype

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMAR#NASDAQ">VMAR</a>) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company"), a pioneer in high-voltage electric marine propulsion and a multi-brand boat retailer with a strong dealership network across Florida, today announced the expansion of its commercial activities across the global tender market-a high-turnover, high-impact segment in which the Company now holds a commanding position.
 Following its acquisition of Florida-based Nautical Ventures Group, Winner of Boating Industry's Top 100 Dealer of the Year award in 2024, Vision Marine has become one of the largest US distributors of Highfield Boats-which bills itself as the world's number one manufacturer of rigid inflatable tenders.

Vision Marine Expands Globally After Buying Award-Winning Florida Boat Dealer

While cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) have been rallying and scaling fresh highs as compared to stablecoins, this expert believes that &#8220;big money&#8221; or institutional investors have been driving the price of these virtual currencies.
What Happened: While retail investors&#8217; participation has increased over time in cryptocurrencies, the latest data <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-retail-investor-demand-is-not-gone-they-re-buying-the-btc-etfs">from</a> CoinTelegraph, citing Onchain metrics, has shown retail investor demand is drying up. 
According to the report, the retail demand may have shifted to spot BTC ETFs, pension funds, and brokerage accounts.
On the other hand, the recent rally in virtual currencies has a &#8220;fundamental source,&#8221; as per DataTrek Research&#8216;s cofounders, Nick Colas and Jessica Rabe.
With the low mobile wallet user count and stablecoin volumes, DataTrek attributes the source of the current up move in cryptocurrencies to institutional buying.
&#8220;To us, that reads as incremental institutional buyers rather than retail, since the latter would employ more online wallets and deposit more capital in dollar-based virtual currencies,&#8221; Colas and Rabe noted.
While BTC hit an all-time high of $123,091.61 per coin on July 14, ETH has jumped over 3.5% in the last seven days, inching closer to its 2021 record of $4,891.70 per coin.
This buying is also evident from many publicly listed firms adopting a new framework of adding crypto to their treasuries.
This follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45515900/mstrs-new-bitcoin-accounting-standard-to-drive-financial-swings-make-earnings-volatile-says-expert-after-lawsuit-hits-strategy">new accounting rule</a> for realizing gains and losses from these currencies on the company's balance sheet every quarter. 
&#8220;In short, we appear to be in a &#8216;Big Money&#8217; rally for this asset class,&#8221; the DataTrek note added.

Why It Matters: The blue-chip cryptocurrencies have pulled back after having a strong start in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46622081/bitcoin-dogecoin-slide-ethereum-gains-amid-drop-in-crypto-volatility-analyst-says-a-close-outside-this-range-will-set-stage-for-btcs-big-move">third quarter</a>, with Ethereum up 48% and Bitcoin up 9.50%.

BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) is struggling to expand into the Indian market amid rival Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) debut in the region.
What Happened: Tense relations between New Delhi and Beijing are proving to be a difficult hurdle for the Chinese EV giant's India growth, Bloomberg reported <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-28/byd-runs-india-remotely-as-china-tensions-shut-out-top-brass">on</a> Monday.
BYD's managing director in India, Ketsu Zhang, has been unable to obtain a visa from the Indian authorities since leaving BYD's local base in the Indian city of Chennai, the report suggests.
Tensions between the two nations rose following a skirmish on a disputed border in the Himalayas resulted in the deaths of multiple personnel in 2020.
The company has had to resort to holding meetings in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo, as well as Kathmandu in Nepal. However, the report also suggests that some of BYD's personnel based in India were denied visas to visit Shenzhen for a meeting.
The Indian government has also rejected a $1 billion investment plan from the EV maker to set up a facility in India, the report suggests. The rejection leads BYD to face heavy tariffs, as the company imports most of its inventory in India.
Why It Matters: BYD's struggle to expand in India coincides with Tesla's entry, as the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46360439/elon-musk-led-teslas-india-entry-kicks-off-with-first-showroom-in-mumbai-launch-set-for-july-15">set up a showroom</a> in India's commercial hub Mumbai, where the company will initially sell the Model Y SUV.
However, Tesla is only one side of Elon Musk's India play, as the billionaire's space-based satellite internet company Starlink also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/07/46486409/elon-musks-india-ambitions-get-major-boost-as-starlink-gets-approval-following-teslas-mumbai-debut">cleared regulatory hurdles</a> and obtained its license to operate in India.
On the other hand, BYD's global expansion has been in full swing as the company's European plans come into shape with the brand's luxury-focused subsidiary, Yangwang, set to debut in the region <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46538952/tesla-rival-byds-global-expansion-continues-as-luxury-brand-yangwang-set-for-european-debut-in-2026">later next year</a>.
The automaker has already achieved over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46514949/tesla-rival-byds-domestic-sales-slip-8-in-june-analysts-slash-annual-delivery-projections-amid-ev-price-war-scrutiny">60% of its overseas sales target</a> of 800,000 units, despite domestic sales in China slipping by over 8% YoY during June.

Tesla Rival BYD Hits Roadblocks In India Amid Tensions With China While Elon Musk-Led EV Giant Kickstarts Operations

Check out the current price of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANGH">ANGH stock here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: The stock of the music streaming platform, Anghami, witnessed an increase in value, reaching $0.77 per share.

On July 23, the company appointed James Cooke, a senior executive from Warner Bros (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>), to its Board of Directors—bringing industry expertise and potentially strengthening strategic ties. Additionally, to boost compliance and potentially enhance investor appeal, Anghami shareholders also approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
Why It Matters: This sudden increase in stock value comes after a series of significant events. The addition of Cooke and the company securing a $23 million unsecured convertible note from OSN Streaming Limited, to boost capital flexibility for growth, kept the investors&#8217; confidence high.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANGH">Benzinga Pro</a> data, Anghami jumped 65.65% after hours on Friday, rising by $0.31.

Anghami Stock Rockets 65.65% After Hours Amid Director Appointment, Reverse Stock-Split Approval

In a recent cyberattack, Allianz Life, part of Allianz SE group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALIZF#OTC">ALIZF</a>), has confirmed that the personal data of most of its customers, financial professionals and employees has been stolen.
What Happened: The breach was confirmed by Allianz Life spokesperson&nbsp;Brett Weinberg&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/26/allianz-life-says-majority-of-customers-personal-data-stolen-in-cyberattack/">TechCrunch</a>. The breach, which occurred on July 16, 2025, involved&nbsp;a third-party, cloud-based CRM system. The system held personally identifiable information for most of Allianz Life's 1.4 million customers, financial professionals, and certain employees.
&nbsp;"The threat actor was able to obtain personally identifiable data related to the majority of Allianz Life's customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees, using a social engineering technique," stated Weinberg.
The breach was disclosed in a mandatory filing with the attorney general of Maine on Saturday. The company has not disclosed the exact number of affected individuals. Allianz Life has notified the FBI and stated that there is no evidence of other compromised systems on its network.
Although the company has not disclosed if it has been contacted by the hackers, it has not attributed the breach to any specific&nbsp;hacking group. Allianz Life is the most recent insurance company to fall victim to a cyberattack, joining others like Aflac, a leading provider of supplemental health insurance.
The data breach is part of a growing wave of cyberattacks targeting the insurance sector. Allianz Life intends to begin notifying affected individuals by August 1.

Massive Allianz Life Hack Exposes 'Majority' Of 1.4 Million American Customer, Employee Records

Japan is pitching Tokyo as an "attractive" base for United Nations operations as the United States steps back from multilateral leadership, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said after meeting U.N. Secretary‑General António Guterres in New York last week.
What Happened: Koike told reporters the capital is ready to "provide various types of support" to the U.N. and argued that life in Tokyo is advantageous in terms of safety and security, and other perks that come with a weak yen. She added that the currency's slide makes the city more affordable for international staff, according to a <a href="https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3319740/japan-pitches-tokyo-new-un-hub-us-steps-back-world-stage?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">report</a> by the South China Morning Post.
Guterres noted his office has "received offers of cooperation from various countries and regions." The pair met for about 15 minutes at U.N. headquarters.
The pitch lands amid a fresh U.S. retreat from a key U.N. body. On July 22, President Donald Trump said the United States would again withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, with UNESCO's director‑general saying the exit will take effect at the end of December 2026.

The move echoes earlier U.S. disengagement from international institutions and new tariffs this month, which also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/07/46285151/trump-tariffs-japan-yen-etfs-market-reaction">rattled Japanese markets</a>.
Why It Matters: Japan already hosts a U.N. University campus and an office of the U.N. refugee agency in Tokyo. The initiative also serves Japan's long‑running drive for greater diplomatic visibility and a stabilizing role in East Asia as Washington's stance unsettles allies.
Why It Matters: Koike emphasized that diplomacy rests with Japan's national government and that the proposal remains preliminary. But her overture shows how U.S. policy shifts are reshaping the U.N.'s map and how Tokyo, with capacity and political will, is positioning itself to pick up the slack if agencies decide to diversify beyond existing hubs.

Japan Touts Safety, Security And Weak Yen To Showcase Tokyo As 'Attractive Hub' For UN As US Pulls Back Under Trump

President Donald Trump is mulling over the idea of issuing rebate checks to Americans, funded by the&nbsp;new tariff revenue collected by&nbsp;his administration.
What Happened: Trump, before his departure for Scotland, stated that a &#8216;lot of money&#8217; is coming in through tariffs. He hinted at the possibility of issuing rebate checks to Americans when asked on the same by reporters. &#8220;We&#8217;re thinking about a little rebate. But the big thing we want to do is pay down debt. But we&#8217;re thinking about a rebate,&#8221; Trump stated. 
The rebate could be aimed at &#8220;people of a certain income&nbsp;level,&#8221; though the specific income threshold is yet to be determined, reported Forbes.

The federal debt has surpassed $36 trillion and is expected to grow further following the enactment of a new tax cuts and spending bill signed into law on July 4. Economists and policy institutes project that the One &#8216;Big, Beautiful Bill Act&#8217; could add $3.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next ten years.
The U.S. Treasury Department announced that customs duty collections have exceeded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46380544/amid-trump-tariffs-us-customs-duty-collection-exceeds-100-billion-in-a-fiscal-year-for-the-first-time-report">$100 billion</a> in a single fiscal year for the first time. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business that this figure could potentially grow to $300 billion annually.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s consideration of rebate checks funded by tariff revenue comes amid a period of significant economic activity. Despite initial concerns, Trump&#8217;s aggressive tariff policy has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46521011/trump-stocks-bonds-foreign-inflows-record">attracted a flood of foreign inflows</a>, with investors buying American securities at a record-setting pace. This move, coupled with the potential for tariff-funded rebate checks, could have a substantial impact on the U.S. economy and the financial well-being of its citizens.
Notably, Trump idea of a rebate to Americans is not new. Earlier in the year, Trump had proposed a&nbsp;20% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43839658/trumps-20-doge-dividend-tax-refund-plan-might-cripple-entire-effort-says-tax-expert">&#8216;DOGE Dividend&#8217; </a>Tax Refund Plan, which would return a portion of the savings from his administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency initiatives to American citizens.&nbsp;This move was also aimed at reducing the federal debt.
During the pandemic, Americans received three relief checks, two under Trump and one under Biden, to ease economic strain. While such rebates usually require Congressional approval via tax legislation, the recent tax and spending bill signed by Trump on July 4 includes new tax breaks but no tariff-based rebate provision.

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the S&amp;P 500 notching its 14th record close of the year as optimism over corporate earnings and progress on global trade talks provided support for risk assets.
All three major indices closed the week higher, with the 30-stock Dow gaining around 1.3% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq adding 1%. The broad market S&amp;P 500 climbed around 1.5% last week.
Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results. Carter's, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRI#NYSE">CRI</a>) shares fell around 20% on Friday after the company reported a second-quarter adjusted EPS miss. Additionally, the company suspended its fiscal 2025 guidance and cited tariff impacts on future earnings.
On the economic data front, U.S. durable goods orders fell&nbsp;9.3%&nbsp;month-over-month to&nbsp;$311.84 billion&nbsp;in June, following a revised&nbsp;16.5%&nbsp;gain in May.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with industrials, materials and consumer discretionary stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, energy and communication services stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by 208 points to 44,901.92 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.40% to 6,388.64, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.24% to 21,108.32 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>), Nucor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) and Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WHR#NYSE">WHR</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 73.9, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 74.4.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Pre-Market Outlook

S&P 500 Notches 5th Consecutive Record Close Following Strong Earnings: Investor Sentiment Edges Lower, But Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has spoken about the AI industry's obsession with benchmarks being outdated — likening it to the processor wars between Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) — and argues it's time to focus on real-world impact, just like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) did.
What Happened: In a conversation with podcaster Theo Von last week at OpenAI's San Francisco office, Altman reflected on the current state of AI development and the so-called "race" to build advanced models or even artificial general intelligence (AGI).
"It certainly feels that way," Altman said when asked if there's a race among companies. "We went through the equivalent of our megahertz race with our benchmark race, and now people kind of don't care about that as much."
He compared the fixation on benchmark scores — once touted by companies like Intel and AMD to promote faster processors — to the early days of personal computing.

Altman noted that Apple eventually shifted away from highlighting raw clock speeds in favor of user experience and overall performance.
"You probably don't even know what the processor speed of your iPhone is today," he said. "I think the same thing is happening in AI."
The OpenAI CEO suggested the focus is shifting toward "who's using the model" and "who's getting the value out of it," rather than who can score highest on test metrics.
He added that while many in the industry believe there's a race toward a singular milestone — perhaps the emergence of self-improving systems or superintelligence — he's personally unsure there's one definitive finish line.

Why It's Important: Altman's remarks come amid increasing scrutiny over the pace and direction of AI development. As competition intensifies between tech giants and new-age startups like OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Anthropic and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), his comments underscore a strategic pivot: from performance metrics to practical deployment and societal impact.
Meanwhile, several high-profile tech CEOs have given their prediction on when artificial general intelligence or AGI will arrive. Altman previously stated that it could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42867568/openai-ceo-sam-altman-predicts-agi-will-arrive-during-the-trump-presidency-says-chips-act-not-effective-enough">introduced during</a> the presidency of Donald Trump.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin said it could arrive before 2030, while Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis offered a more cautious estimate, saying it will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599346/why-googles-demis-hassabis-disagrees-with-co-founder-sergey-brin-on-when-agi-will-arrive-and-sets-a-much-higher-bar">come just after 2030</a>.
Last year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei suggested that AGI might be achieved as soon as 2026 or 2027, while noting that unexpected external influences could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41928832/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-similar-to-human-intelligence-could-be-around-the-corner-well-get-there-by-2026-or-2027">potentially slow its progress</a>.
