Today (Here’s 3 things you need to know)  

1. OpenAI to Microsoft: AGI Access Might Not Be Forever

1 Year Performance (MSFT): +20.27%

OpenAI is plotting a bold rewrite of its Microsoft partnership playbook. The $1 billion investor might lose VIP access to OpenAI’s juiciest AI tech once AGI—the holy grail of smarts that outthink humans—is achieved.

With $6.6 billion freshly raised and a jaw-dropping $157 billion valuation, OpenAI’s eyeing bigger fish. Tweaking this "hands-off our AGI" clause could sweeten the deal for future investors and keep Microsoft on the hook for funding and tech love post-AGI.

But hold your chips—OpenAI's board hasn’t greenlit this move yet. It's all part of a bigger scheme to swap the non-profit halo for a for-profit crown. Whatever they decide, the stakes are sky-high for AGI’s future and Microsoft’s seat at the AI kingmaker’s table.

2. Jobs Bounce Back, Fed Likely to Stay on Track for Rate Cuts

The US economy surprised with a 227,000 job gain in November, beating the expected 202,000 and rebounding from October's hurricane-struck 12,000. Revised October figures now sit at 36,000, with the unemployment rate ticking up slightly to 4.2% from 4.1%.

Investors cheered the recovery, pushing futures higher as the final jobs data before the December Fed meeting suggests rate cuts are still in play. While gold stayed quiet, EUR/USD rose above $1.06 for the first time in weeks, as the US dollar eased its earlier gains. Looks like Jay Powell's Fed can afford to relax—for now.

3. SoundHound AI: Fast-Food’s New Voice

1 Year Performance (SOUN): +618.18%

SoundHound AI shares are on fire, surging 160% in a month and 616% YTD, fueled by deals like its recent rollout with Torchy’s Tacos across 130 locations.

Its voice AI powers 10,000+ restaurants, including big names like Chipotle, White Castle, and Applebee's, handling orders, answering FAQs, and managing multiple calls at once.

Beyond fast food, SoundHound is branching into cars with Hyundai and Stellantis and tech collaborations with Motorola and Qualcomm. Its AI even tackled 100,000+ calls for a French insurer, cutting human workload by 20%.

Despite $25M in Q3 sales, nearly double last year, the company remains unprofitable, with a 6-cent-per-share loss. Investors are bullish, but caution looms: short interest exceeds 25%, signaling bets on a pullback. For SoundHound, the future talks, but risks echo loudly.
