What stands out

The open felt like two conferences happening at once: a tech cheer after Anthropic PBC’s strong revenue print, and a war room as Israel’s strikes in southern Lebanon killed a senior Hezbollah commander and left 11 dead.

That tension matters because it forces investors to reconcile a durable tech-capex story with episodic, market-moving geopolitical risk.
