The Gulf conflict is entering a Groundhog Day cycle, and the bond market is starting to panic. While oil prices surge and rate-cut hopes fade, the real story is a global debt reckoning that's hitting Australia and the US alike. Also today: a key UK AI architect joins Anthropic, and Dell's AI server business keeps printing money.

The AI talent war goes global, and the hardware buildout keeps delivering for Dell.
Matt Clifford, the architect of the UK's AI strategy, is now Anthropic's managing director for international affairs. The hire signals Anthropic is serious about government engagement beyond the US, and it's a loss for UK policy circles.
Dell crushed earnings on AI server demand, EPS of $7.04 versus a $4.92 consensus. The stock jumped 6% after hours. The AI hardware buildout is still the main event for enterprise tech spending.
