Auto
— 6d
Luxury Mercedes-Maybach models, including the GLS600 and S680, are trading at surprisingly low used-car prices relative to their high original MSRP, underscoring steep depreciation but creating strong value for well-equipped, low-mileage examples. Buyers should weigh maintenance costs, service histories, and rare configurations (like the V12 S680 and Manufaktur specs) when evaluating private-party bids against market averages that often span roughly $150,000 to $185,000 for recent builds.

— Aug 30, 2026
Nvidia is reportedly pursuing a $12.9–$13 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, signaling a strategic shift from pure hardware to governing the software layer of AI through an open-weight model hub that could counter hyperscalers building their own chips. The move amplifies the debate over open versus closed AI ecosystems, fusing Hugging Face’s open platform with Nvidia’s CUDA-dominated stack while Nvidia also rides strong quarterly revenue as it defends its position in the AI stack.
