AI makes game-by-game predictions for Dallas Cowboys 2025 season, playoff appearance?
For the average sports fan, beyond being able to put a free agent in the uniform of their favorite team, does AI have utility in seeing the things that the armchair quarterback doesn't? We asked OpenAI's ChatGPT to predict the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 schedule, game by game, to see how they felt the club would do in the upcoming season.
ChatGPT said it considered roster matchup analysis (positional strength, star power vs depth), coaching and scheme impact (head coaching tendencies, coordinator matchups, gameplanning track record), game environment (home vs away, field type, expected weather), schedule timing, statistical trends (EPA, DVOA, red-zone conversion rates), momentum, historical context and situational modeling (game script, style clash) to come up with their predictions.

Huawei shows off AI computing system to rival Nvidia's top product
SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's Huawei Technologies showed off an AI computing system on Saturday that one industry expert has said rivals Nvidia's most advanced offering, as the Chinese technology giant seeks to capture market share in the country's growing artificial intelligence sector. The CloudMatrix 384 system made its first public debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), a three-day event in Shanghai where companies showcase their latest AI innovations, drawing a large crowd to the company's booth. The system has drawn close attention from the global AI community since Huawei first announced it in April. Industry analysts view it as a direct competitor to Nvidia's GB200 NVL72, the U.S. chipmaker's most advanced system-level product currently available in the market. Dylan Patel, founder of semiconductor research group SemiAnalysis, said in an April article that Huawei now had AI system capabilities that could beat Nvidia. Huawei staff at its WAIC booth declined to comment when asked to introduce the CloudMatrix 384 system. A spokesperson for Huawei did not respond to questions. Huawei has become widely regarded as China's most promising domestic supplier of chips essential for AI development, even though the company faces U.S. export restrictions. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Bloomberg in May that Huawei had been "moving quite fast" and named the CloudMatrix as an example. The CloudMatrix 384 incorporates 384 of Huawei's latest 910C chips and outperforms Nvidia's GB200 NVL72 on some metrics, which uses 72 B200 chips, according to SemiAnalysis. The performance stems from Huawei's system design capabilities, which compensate for weaker individual chip performance through the use of more chips and system-level innovations, SemiAnalysis said. Huawei says the system uses "supernode" architecture that allows the chips to interconnect at super-high speeds and in June, Huawei Cloud CEO Zhang Pingan said the CloudMatrix 384 system was operational on Huawei's cloud platform.

The S&P 500 Is Going to Plunge at Least 30%, Based on What a Forecasting Tool With a 100% Historical Success Rate Has to Say
Key Points The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average have endured a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows since the year began. A time-tested valuation tool capable of providing the closest thing to an apples-to-apples comparison as investors can get is offering one of its loudest warnings ever. Time in the market has consistently trumped trying to time the stock market's downturns. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › It's been a roller-coaster ride for Wall Street and investors through nearly seven months of 2025. In early April, the wheels fell off the wagon, with the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), growth-inspired Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC), and iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) plunging. In a two-day period (the close of April 2 to the end of April 4), the S&P 500 registered its fifth-worst two-day percentage drop (-10.5%) since 1950. One week after this chaos began, all three major stock indexes recorded their largest single-day point gains in their respective histories -- and they haven't looked back. The broad-based S&P 500 has rallied by more than 25% in just three months for only the sixth time in its history and surged to a record high. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite has surpassed 21,000 for the first time, with the Dow just 4 points away from an all-time closing high, as of July 23. Between the hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and President Donald Trump's administration working out a couple of key trade deals, it would appear nothing can slow down the stock market. But looks can be deceiving... Wall Street's benchmark index is primed for a history lesson Let me preface any and all discussion regarding forecasting tools with this warning: Nothing is guaranteed on Wall Street. Even predictive tools and correlative events that have, historically, been 100% accurate in the past can't concretely guarantee what'll happen in the future. With the above being said, a 100% historical success rate in forecasting future stock returns is generally something investors should pay attention to. At any given time, there are one or more headwinds threatening to drag the stock market lower. Uncertainty regarding President Trump's tariff and trade policy, the potential for the prevailing rate of inflation to pick back up, and Moody's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to AA1 from AAA are all examples of downside catalysts that can spark a stock market correction, bear market, or crash. But among this laundry list of potential problems for stocks, perhaps nothing is more worrisome than valuations. Most investors rely on the time-tested price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio when quickly assessing the relative cheapness or priciness of a given stock. A company's P/E ratio is calculated by dividing its share price by its trailing-12-month earnings per share (EPS). It's a handy tool for evaluating mature businesses, but it often falls short with growth stocks and during recessions when corporate earnings are temporarily disrupted. The valuation tool with an uncanny track record -- i.e., 100% success rate -- of forecasting future stock returns is the S&P 500's Shiller P/E Ratio, which is also known as the cyclically adjusted P/E Ratio, or CAPE Ratio. Rather than accounting for 12 months of trailing EPS, the Shiller P/E is based on average inflation-adjusted EPS over the trailing-10-year period. Accounting for a decade of EPS and adjusting it for inflation minimizes the impact of economic shock events, which allows for the closest thing to an apples-to-apples comparison as investors can get. As of the closing bell on July 23, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E Ratio stood at 38.79, which is just fractionally below its high for the current bull market of 38.89, set in December. To put this figure into context, it's the third-priciest continuous bull market when back-tested to January 1871. The only higher readings were observed prior to the dot-com bubble (an all-time peak of 44.19 in December 1999), and immediately prior to the start of the 2022 bear market (just above 40 during the first week of January 2022). When back-tested 154 years, the Shiller P/E has surpassed a multiple of 30 just six times, including the present -- and this is where historical precedent comes into play. Following the previous five occurrences where the Shiller P/E topped 30, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and/or Dow Jones Industrial Average fell between 20% and 89% (this latter figure is a Great Depression outlier). What this signals is that extended valuations aren't well tolerated by Wall Street over an extended period. Furthermore, none of these five 20% (or greater) pullbacks in the broader market found their respective bottoms with the S&P 500's Shiller P/E higher than 27. In other words, the minimum historical expectation is for the Shiller P/E to retrace to 27. Were this to occur, the broad-based S&P 500 would need to lose about 30% of its value. Based solely on what this valuation forecasting tool tells us, Wall Street's benchmark index can lose 30% of its value at some point in the presumed not-too-distant future. Time in the market consistently trumps trying to time the market Thankfully, history is a pendulum that swings (disproportionately) in both directions. Although sizable moves lower in the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average can play on the emotions of investors, time and perspective have a way of rewarding those who exercise patience and focus on the horizon. Every year, the analysts at Crestmont Research refresh a published data set that examines the rolling 20-year total returns (including dividends) for the S&P 500 that dates back to the start of the 20th century. Despite the S&P not officially being incepted until 1923, researchers were able to tabulate total return data by tracking the performance of its components in other major indexes back to 1900. This yielded 106 rolling 20-year periods (1900-1919, 1901-1920, 1902-1921, and so on, to 2005-2024). What Crestmont's calculations show is that all 106 of these rolling 20-year periods produced a positive total return. Hypothetically (because an S&P 500 index fund has only existed since 1993), if an investor had purchased an S&P 500 index fund at any point between 1900 and 2005 and simply held this position for 20 years, they would have generated a profit, including dividends, 100% of the time. What's particularly powerful about Crestmont's analysis is these positive returns occurred despite numerous recessions, a few economic depressions, two pandemics, and multiple wars. No matter how dire things seemed for Wall Street at any given moment, investors who held for 20 years always came out ahead. To build on this point and demonstrate how important time in the market is relative to trying to time its inevitable downturns, let's take a closer look at another data set published by Bespoke Investment Group on X (formerly Twitter) in June 2023. The data set you see above represents a comparison of the calendar-day length of every S&P 500 bull and bear market since the start of the Great Depression in September 1929. The 27 bear markets in the broad-based index spanning nearly 94 years (until June 2023) lasted an average of 286 calendar days, or less than 10 months. In comparison, bull markets have averaged 1,011 calendar days, or approximately 3.5 times longer than the typical bear market. Further, the longest S&P 500 bear market since the Great Depression endured for 630 calendar days in the mid-1970s. Including the current bull market (extrapolated to present day), more than half (14 out of 27) of S&P 500 bull markets have lasted longer than 630 calendar days. If the Shiller P/E correctly forecasts a 30% decline in the benchmark S&P 500, long-term-minded investors should use it as an opportunity to invest for their future, knowing that time and history are firmly in their corner.

Better Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock: C3.ai vs. Palantir
Key Points Palantir and have a substantial customer base in both the government and commercial sectors. Palantir's growth and profitability surpasses is far cheaper than Palantir. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › (NYSE: AI) and Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) are two of the most prominent AI stocks on the market today, each benefiting from substantial tailwinds in the AI space. Each is posting solid growth and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon, which could bode well for investors looking to scoop up shares today. But of the two, is there one that stands out as a better buy? Let's find out. The business models Both Palantir and provide data analytics software powered by AI to provide clients with actionable insights on what decisions should be made. They also allow users to implement AI automation through AI agents, further increasing their usefulness. As for their customer bases, both Palantir and have a significant presence in both government and commercial markets. In their latest quarters ( Q4 FY 2025 ended on April 30), each had a fairly even split between these two sectors. For 31% of bookings came from government entities. For Palantir, 55% of its revenue came from the government. However, Palantir's edge comes from its customization. Palantir's platform enables users to build various AI applications, allowing them to be deployed in non-traditional ways. focuses on pre-built applications that are more plug-and-play focused. The plug-and-play market is incredibly crowded, and several companies offer products similar to However, Palantir is on a different level when it comes to flexibility, which is why I think its business model stands out. Winner: Palantir Growth Palantir's superior business model is also leading toward impressive growth. In Q1, its revenue rose an outstanding 39% year over year to $884 million. Additionally, it's expected to grow at a 38% pace in Q2. While this may appear to be a slowdown, Palantir's management consistently outperforms internal guidance, so its actual growth rate may be a couple of percentage points higher than this figure. growth isn't slow by any means, but it's not experiencing the same level of growth as Palantir. In Q4 FY 2025, revenue rose by 26% year over year to $109 million. However, its growth is projected to trend in the wrong direction, with management expecting 20% revenue growth for FY 2026. Despite smaller size, it cannot match Palantir's superior growth. As a result, it's another win for Palantir. Winner: Palantir Profitability I really only need to put up one chart to declare a winner in the profitability space. is nowhere close to breaking even. It's burning an incredible amount of cash, and it will take years of growth before it's remotely profitable. Palantir boasts a healthy 24% profit margin in its most recent quarter, showcasing its commitment to growth and profitability. Winner: Palantir Valuation Right now, it's three points to zero in Palantir's favor. Considering this is the last attribute I'm evaluating, it may be easy just to assume that Palantir will win this analysis. However, it's probably the most important consideration in Palantir's investment thesis at the moment. Yes, Palantir is growing rapidly, profitable, and has a fantastic business model. However, its stock has become so expensive that there's no room to make a profit. At over 120 times sales, Palantir's stock has reached a valuation level that few companies ever achieve. That's for good reason, as it will take years of growth to make the price tag look reasonable again. At Palantir's current 39% growth rate, this will take several years to achieve. On the other hand, stock appears undervalued at 9.5 times sales. However, it's deeply unprofitable, so it has earned this cheap valuation. So, which stock is the better buy between the two? I can say, without a doubt, that the better company to buy is Palantir. However, Palantir's stock has become so expensive that it will be difficult to make a profit in the future. Additionally, I don't want to buy stock just because it's cheap. As a result, I think investors should look elsewhere for AI stocks. Many promising companies are succeeding in this landscape, and these two are not among the best ones to buy now. Should you buy stock in Palantir Technologies right now?
