Meta reportedly explored acquiring the prediction market company Kalshi, but ultimately decided to develop its own platform, Arena, using virtual currency. The negotiations, which involved Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg meeting with Kalshi's CEO Tarek Mansour, did not result in a deal, with differing accounts suggesting either Kalshi's reluctance to sell or Meta's concerns over legal and ethical complexities. Separately, news emerged about a new battery safety regulation, a significant leak of Apple's confidential documents, and the exposure of OpenAI's first hardware product, Fable 5, which is now globally available.
