SOXL craters 6%, Microsoft's Maia 300 chip, and the multi-agent orchestration interview

My Daily AI & Markets Briefing

Show Notes

SOXL craters 6%, Microsoft bets big on its own AI chip, and a deep dive on multi-agent system design for senior ML interviews.

Markets: SOXL -6.02% to $131.34; QQQ -0.42% to $748.12; VGT -0.62% to $127.19; VUG -0.02% to $91.95. TSMC reports October 15.

AI news: Microsoft unveiled Maia 300, its third-generation in-house AI inference chip, targeting reduced Nvidia GPU dependency across all its products and services.

Interview Tip of the Day: Design a multi-agent system for a long research task — orchestrator splits the work, sub-agents run in parallel. When is multi-agent better than one agent with more tools, how do sub-agents report back without flooding context, and how do you prevent duplicated or contradictory work?

Did You Know: In 2010, a programmer paid 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas — coins worth hundreds of millions of dollars today.
