Odaily Odaily reported that a risk scenario released by the Bank of Japan on Thursday shows that, assuming oil prices remain high and the yen weakens, core inflation will hover around 3% for two consecutive years, significantly above its 2% target. In the baseline scenario released on Tuesday, the Bank of Japan stated that it expects the core consumer price index (CPI) to rise by 2.8% in the current fiscal year ending March 2027 and by 2.3% in the next fiscal year. On Thursday, the Bank of Japan released a rare set of risk scenarios, assuming crude oil prices will remain around $105 per barrel by the end of the year, the yen will depreciate 10% from current levels, and stock prices will fall 20%. Under this risk scenario, core inflation would rise to 3.1% in fiscal 2026, 3.0% in fiscal 2027, and then fall back to 2.3% in 2028. The report stated: "It is particularly noteworthy that it is expected to remain around 3% for two consecutive years in fiscal 2026 and 2027." The report also added: "This upside deviation in CPI could become a factor in pushing up medium- to long-term inflation expectations." (Jin Shi)

Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reported that Matthew Vegari, Head of Research at Clearwater Analytics' investment platform, stated in a report that the Fed's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% signals a continuation of its "wait-and-see" approach. A key takeaway from this meeting is that "the Fed is unwilling to 'look the other way' on energy-driven inflation in the same way it did with tariff-induced inflation in the past." He also noted that the White House's attempts to pressure the Fed into cutting rates have backfired, as Powell will temporarily remain in his position as a board member. "If the Fed were to cut rates amid accelerating inflation, such a decision would stem from a clear weakening of the labor market, not from political pressure." (Jin Shi)

Odaily Seer monitoring shows that Polymarket has launched a new WTI crude oil price prediction for May, with multiple price tiers ranging from $20 to $150.

The settlement rule stipulates that if the highest closing price of any 1-minute candlestick for the WTI crude oil futures front-month contract reaches or exceeds the predicted price, the market result is "Yes."

In contrast, the June settlement rule requires the daily settlement price on the trading day to exceed the predicted price for the result to be considered "Yes."

Odaily Seer remains focused on the prediction market, observing changes before they are priced in.

4. White House opposes Anthropic expanding Mythos usage scope to 120 companies, citing concerns over insufficient computing power;

5. Vitalik sells free Meme tokens, profiting $355,000;

Odaily OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated at Stripe Sessions that OpenAI aspires to become an infrastructure company that is "permanently low-profit, yet massive and fast-growing," offering products akin to "smart meters" that allow anyone to purchase them to automate businesses, develop products, or embed them into their own services. He compared OpenAI to Stripe, noting that their model is usage-based billing, and as the internet scales, both Stripe and its users benefit.

Altman revealed that OpenAI has already signed 20-year contracts for electricity and land to support this goal. He acknowledged that switching costs in AI are low, and the recent massive influx of users from competing programming tools to Codex proves that the smarter AI becomes, the easier it is to switch platforms. He pointed out that while some companies might try to capture the entire industry chain, OpenAI does not plan to do so, believing that models and data centers are a whole, and other companies can build products on top of them.

Altman also emphasized that businesses should not overestimate AI's impact on existing business structures. Although AI has changed many existing processes, good products will still survive in the market. He specifically mentioned that Shopify CEO Toby Lütke is the best AI adopter he has ever seen.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Nikita Bier, product lead at X platform, stated that since the launch of the "Mute" feature, cryptocurrency has been the most commonly muted topic by users, followed by politics and the Iran conflict.

Odaily reports that the White House has recently opposed Anthropic's proposal to expand the use of its AI model, Mythos, to approximately 120 companies, primarily based on security and computing power concerns. Anthropic had originally planned to add 70 new companies to the roughly 50 enterprises currently using Mythos, but the White House has raised doubts, worrying that insufficient computing power might affect the government's own usage of Mythos.

Launched in early April, Mythos is designed to detect and exploit critical software vulnerabilities. It is currently limited to testing by enterprises managing key infrastructure, with no plans for public release. The White House fears that expanding usage to more commercial users could create a computing power bottleneck for the government when using the model. This is particularly concerning given Anthropic's computing power procurement agreements with Amazon, Google, and Broadcom—though contracts have been signed, new capacity has not yet come online.

On the political front, relations between the White House and Anthropic have not eased. The Trump administration has publicly criticized Anthropic for hiring multiple former officials from the Biden administration and expressed dissatisfaction with its ties to liberal organizations. One example highlights the trust issues between the two sides: Collin Burns, a former researcher at Anthropic who was originally assigned to a government AI model evaluation role, was replaced by senior White House officials upon learning of his background, to avoid having AI company personnel directly involved in matters concerning dealings with other AI companies.

Additionally, last week Anthropic disclosed an unauthorized access incident involving the Mythos model, further intensifying external regulatory scrutiny on the company.
