Odaily Planet Daily reports that Allbirds, the "celebrity shoe" brand, announced its bet on the AI infrastructure sector and renamed itself NewBird AI, aiming to compete with CoreWeave by investing in GPU computing power. Its stock price surged nearly 600%, but several industry insiders have issued warnings. Matt Domo, CEO of FifthVantage, stated that Allbirds' AI transformation seems more like a means to boost its weak stock price. Investors should be wary of "AI washing," where some companies attempt to exaggerate or even fabricate their AI capabilities for marketing purposes. Furthermore, there are precedents for companies trying to capitalize on hot trends through aggressive transformations; many companies attempted to ride the blockchain wave in late 2017 and early 2018. Jason Schloetzer, Associate Professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, pointed out that the initial $50 million funding is "negligible compared to the actual investment required to become such a service provider." However, from a more optimistic perspective, the influx of new players into the AI field may reflect the market's "continued enthusiasm" for growth. Seaport Research analyst Jay Goldberg believes it's hard to imagine Allbirds, a company that entered the field later in life, offering competitive products or services. (Marketwatch)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that while the dominance of the US dollar has been a subject of much debate, Franklin Templeton believes it will remain the preferred currency. Saul Desai, chief investment officer of the firm's fixed income division, wrote in a report that the dollar's position is supported by three pillars: the size of the world's largest economy, market depth, and institutional credibility. Desai points out that there are currently no reliable alternative assets, and building the institutional infrastructure needed to support this currency will take decades. The debate over the dollar's dominance is intensifying as Trump's erratic trade, geopolitical, and fiscal policies have diminished the attractiveness of US assets. Some analysts believe the euro and gold are poised to become preferred reserve assets. (Jinshi)
