Nvidia's market cap plunges, AI distillation squeezes margins, and autonomous ransomware emerges · 1 source…

Nvidia has experienced a significant market value drop, losing approximately $1 trillion in under two months, though its financial projections remain strong, indicating a rotation in the AI trade towards memory and storage companies. Concurrently, the practice of AI distillation, where smaller models are trained on larger ones, is reportedly eroding profit margins for major AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic, potentially impacting future API pricing. In parallel, Amazon's efforts to enhance Alexa with agentic capabilities through its 'Moonraker' project are proving costly, facing challenges in unit economics for advanced AI inference at scale, while a new fully autonomous AI ransomware utilizing LLMs has been documented, marking a significant development in cyber threats. AI
