Good Evening!
If you’re using Uber in Vegas this summer, keep an eye out for a fun new (automated) option.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🦾 Meta Rolled Out Its Own In-House AI Chips
Just weeks after Meta signed massive deals with Nvidia and AMD, the tech giant has unveiled four custom in-house chips tailored for AI-related tasks. The specialized silicon is part of the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, or MTIA, family of chips that aim to rapidly expand data-center infrastructure. (CNBC)
2. 🛑 Stop Paying "Drift Tax" on Corporate Strategy
Every time a decision is slowed by misalignment, you pay a tax in stalled momentum and wasted capital. It’s not a management failure, it’s a gap in your strategic infrastructure.
Your brand should be a value multiplier for your vision. Otherwise you're missing ROI from a valuable asset.
Book a 1 hour consult with Edward Baldwin, trusted growth advisor to B2B executives and Principal at R+M. Get more value from your brand and more clarity for your vision.
