Before diving into today’s email, I filmed a quick video last week breaking down Notebook LM. They’re a killer new platform built off of Google’s Gemini product. Feel free to check it out below:

DeepMind’s AI Outsmarts Math Olympiad Gold Medalists

Google DeepMind just introduced AlphaGeometry2, an upgraded math AI that solved 84% of International Mathematical Olympiad geometry problems from the past 25 years—outperforming the average gold medalist score of 40.9.

The system combines a Gemini model with a symbolic engine, enabling rigorous deductive reasoning for complex proofs. AlphaGeometry2 solved 42 out of 50 problems, a massive jump from its predecessor’s 54% success rate. The key? 300M+ synthetic theorems and proofs, creating an advanced training dataset far beyond human capabilities.

Math has long been a weak spot for AI models, often leading to simple yet baffling errors. But with DeepMind pushing boundaries, AI may soon revolutionize math-heavy fields like physics and engineering. The real question: How far can it go?

Bitcoin Steady as Markets Call Trump’s Bluff on Tariffs

Bitcoin is holding firm despite expectations of further tariff escalations from President Trump later today. Unlike last week’s sell-off when Trump first announced tariffs, markets appear to be betting that his aggressive stance is more about negotiation leverage than long-term policy. The 30-day suspension of Mexico and Canada tariffs added to this view. However, QCP Capital warns that market complacency could push Trump to take an even tougher stance, fueling another wave of volatility.

Meanwhile, Metaplanet (3350) posted strong 2024 financial results, now sitting on $36 million in unrealized Bitcoin gains from its 1,761 BTC holdings. The firm expanded its shareholder base by 500% and plans to grow its BTC stash to 10,000 by 2025 and 21,000 by 2026, using moving strike warrants and debt issuance backed by Bitcoin collateral.

On the betting front, Polymarket saw $1.1 billion in Super Bowl wagers, solidifying its place as the dominant on-chain prediction market despite regulatory hurdles. One trader, ‘abeautifulmind,’ raked in $550K betting on the Eagles, pushing their total sports betting profit past $1 million. Other bets included Taylor Swift’s TV appearances and the national anthem length, proving crypto-native betting is only growing.

Between political risks, institutional Bitcoin accumulation, and crypto-powered betting markets, the macro environment is setting up for an eventful week.
