Tech equities closed mixed: QQQ -0.3%, TSLA +0.6%, AMD +1.0%, while crypto gained traction (ETH +1.3%, XRP +1.7%). The headline: SpaceXAI's Grok Bot launched in beta as a persistent workplace agent ($120/mo), directly competing in agent commerce—Google's Gemini crossed 1B MAU simultaneously, signaling the agent-tooling race is accelerating. Meanwhile, CoreWeave surged 18% premarket on "cleaner quarter" results, reinforcing that compute infrastructure plays are hot as AI firms bet big on local hardware.
