Show Notes

Chips bounce, OpenAI chases a record trillion-dollar valuation, and we break down a classic ML system-design trap.

Markets: SOXL up 1.78% to $83.57, QQQ up 0.09% to $705.10, VGT up 0.30% to $118.96, VUG down 0.34% to $86.87.

AI news: OpenAI seeks $30B at a $1.25 trillion valuation ahead of its IPO, a record for a private company.

Interview Tip of the Day: Your model's latency is too high. Would adding a load balancer and more instances fix it?
