ChatGPT-parent OpenAI reportedly plans to launch a new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI agent</a>, codenamed "Operator," in January.
What Happened: This new artificial intelligence agent will be capable of executing tasks, such as writing codes and booking travel, on behalf of users, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-13/openai-nears-launch-of-ai-agents-to-automate-tasks-for-users?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing two people familiar with the matter.
The announcement was reportedly made on Wednesday during a staff meeting.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously hinted at this shift toward agents in a Reddit AMA session. At the time, he suggested that the "next giant breakthrough will be agents."

OpenAI's 'Operator' AI Agent Will Perform Tasks Like Coding, Travel Booking And More, Launch Expected In January Next Year: Report

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41956594/matt-gaetz-is-trumps-attorney-general-pick-would-be-top-cop-is-under-house-ethics-investigation">nominee for attorney general</a> under the incoming administration.
A controversial figure, Gaetz has been known for pushing radical proposals in favor of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>).
What happened: Earlier in June, he introduced a bill that would allow federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cryptocurrency-tax-guide">income tax payments</a> to be made in the apex cryptocurrency.
Gaetz had said that the intention behind proposing the bill was to promote innovation, increase efficiency, and offer more flexibility to American citizens.
Key provisions of the proposed law included the rapid conversion of received Bitcoin to its dollar equivalent at the end of the transaction, ensuring stability and practicality in its adoption.
Gaetz has also spoken highly of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41847581/el-salvadors-bitcoin-bet-is-paying-off-heres-how-much-the-country-is-up">pro-Bitcoin</a> El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's policies, linking the country's quest for financial freedom with the leading digital asset.

Why It Matters: The nomination of Gaetz comes as the congressman is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/41956594/matt-gaetz-is-trumps-attorney-general-pick-would-be-top-cop-is-under-house-ethics-investigation">under investigation</a> by the House Ethics Committee for sexual misconduct.
Allegations against the Trump loyalist include sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, accepting improper gifts, and more. Gaetz has denied the allegations.
If confirmed for the position, Gaetz will take over from current Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Several prominent French media organizations, including those owned by billionaire Bernard Arnault, have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform X for allegedly using their content without compensation.
What Happened: The media groups, which include Arnault&#8217;s Les Echos and Le Parisien, have taken legal action against the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, for violating &#8220;neighboring rights,&#8221; a European directive adopted into French law, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/12/french-news-titles-sue-x-over-allegedly-running-their-content-without-payment">reported</a> The Guardian.
Under this law, social media platforms are required to pay media organizations when they republish news content. The media companies had previously sought an emergency injunction against the platform, which they claim has not been negotiated.
The Paris Tribunal, in agreement with the media companies, had given the platform two months to provide commercial data that would allow the outlets to assess the income the platform earns from their content. The platform has allegedly not complied with this decision, prompting the latest lawsuit.

Dogecoin Is Now Larger Than Ford, Adidas, Lululemon, Roblox: 15 Companies Worth Less Than Meme Crypto</a>
Why It Matters: This legal dispute is the latest in a series of challenges faced by tech giants in Europe. France, in particular, has been at the forefront of the battle to protect the publishing rights and revenue of its press and news agencies against the dominance of powerful tech companies.
The EU has introduced neighboring rights, a form of copyright that allows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/05/32461673/eu-pulls-out-the-big-guns-record-privacy-fine-on-the-horizon-for-meta">news media to demand compensation</a> for the use of their content. France was the first EU country to enact this directive in 2019, and after initial resistance, Google and Facebook agreed to pay some French media for articles shown in web searches.
Despite this, Musk&#8217;s social media platform has contested its obligation to adhere to the neighboring rights directive, arguing that it is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39256166/meta-to-use-european-social-media-data-for-ai-training-report">not subject to the same rules</a> as Google or Facebook as it relies on user-generated content. 
Arnault, the CEO of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, and Musk have had several interactions in the past. In 2023, the two billionaires <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32905288/elon-musk-and-bernard-arnault-meet-for-power-lunch-in-paris-what-the-worlds-two-richest-men-discusse">met for a power lunch in Paris</a>, and in 2024, Arnault <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39997764/elon-musk-bernard-arnault-once-discussed-potential-spacex-louis-vuitton-collab-im-afraid-he-will-ask">discussed the potential</a> of a Louis Vuitton-branded rocket with SpaceX.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has decided to terminate its secret project aimed at developing an at-home fertility tracker. The project, known internally as &#8220;Encore,&#8221; was part of Amazon&#8217;s Grand Challenge division.
What Happened: The decision to disband the team working on the fertility tracker was communicated in October, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/13/amazon-shuts-down-secret-project-to-develop-fertility-tracker.html">reported</a> on Thursday. Employees involved in the project will remain on the payroll until Dec. 27, after which they will receive severance if they haven&#8217;t secured new positions within the company.
The project originated from Amazon&#8217;s acquisition of bluDiagnostics in 2020, a startup known for its saliva-based fertility tracking device. Despite plans to launch the product this year, technical challenges and high costs led to delays, according to CNBC.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has been implementing cost-cutting strategies since late 2022, resulting in over 27,000 job cuts and the termination of several projects. This marks a shift from the experimental approach of former CEO Jeff Bezos, who initiated the Grand Challenge in 2014 to explore innovative ideas.
Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan confirmed the layoffs and project discontinuation, emphasizing the company&#8217;s focus on impactful areas for customers.
Why It Matters: The discontinuation of the fertility tracker project is part of a broader trend at Amazon, where several experimental initiatives have been shelved. In October 2022, Amazon announced the closure of other experimental features, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29248660/amazon-to-pull-down-another-experimental-feature-after-amazon-glow-amazon-scout-amazon-care">Amazon Glow, Amazon Scout, and Amazon Care</a>.

Bezos has previously stated that Amazon&#8217;s culture is a &#8220;blueprint for business success,&#8221; emphasizing the importance of customer obsession, innovation, and the willingness to fail. These principles have been central to Amazon&#8217;s rapid growth, including the success of Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is not prioritizing the &#8220;affluent&#8221; owners of the higher-end variant of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-cybertruck">Cybertruck</a> over others for installation of the off-road light bar, company engineer Wes Morrill said on Tuesday following allegations otherwise.
What Happened: An X user on Tuesday noted that he has not received the lightbar while popular individuals like car enthusiast and YouTuber Kyle Conner have.
&#8220;Seems like Tesla is prioritizing affluent community members' installs over the general public's. This is rather upsetting, our money is just as green as theirs…,&#8221; the individual wrote to Tesla executives Wes Morrill and Lars Moravy.
Morrill, however, said that the company is ramping up production of the light bar which is reaching customers in the order of production of their vehicles.
&#8220;They are trying to opportunistically group installs by service center for efficiency so some installs will happen out of order,&#8221; Morrill said, denying the allegations of unfair prioritization for some drivers.
&#8220;For what it&#8217;s worth Kyle has a 0001xx vin,&#8221; he added, implying that the YouTuber took delivery of the Cybertruck early.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: The Cybertruck Lightbar is an accessory that can be mounted on top of the truck to increase visibility when driving off-road. While all Foundation Series Cyberbeast variant owners are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39832499/tesla-executive-assures-cybertruck-light-bar-coming-soon-for-foundation-series-cyberbeast-customers">eligible to receive the lightbar</a>, customers have only begun receiving it.
Tesla started delivering the first Cybertrucks to customers in the U.S. in late November 2023. The vehicle starts at nearly $100,000 for the limited-edition Foundation series Cybertruck and at about $80,000 for the non-foundation series.
According to data from automotive research company Kelley Blue Book, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41873767/cybertruck-likely-wont-be-profitable-in-q4-says-tesla-researcher">Tesla sold 16,692 Cybertrucks in the third quarter</a>, making it the third best-selling electric vehicle in the U.S. behind Tesla&#8217;s Model Y SUV and Model 3 sedan.

Tesla Engineer Denies Prioritizing 'Affluent' Cybertruck Owners For Lightbar Installation

Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Taiwan-based supplier Foxconn (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHPF#OTC">HNHPF</a>) reported its third-quarter results on Thursday. The company, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, said its profit margins improved across the board.
According to the company&#8217;s press release, its gross profit margin hit a quarterly record high not seen since 2017. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company in the third quarter grew by 31% sequentially and 11% annually to NT$43.1 billion or $1.3 billion.
Gross profit margin and operating profit margin also displayed improvement on a sequential and annual basis. With an earnings per share at NT$3.11 or $0.095, the company reported revenue of NT$1.5432 or $47.3 billion indicating a quarterly increase of 18% but a 12% decrease year-on-year.

What Happened: Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Young Liu said that the six operational pillars outlined at the beginning of this year, ranging from information and communications technology, and new business development to global footprint and ESG practice were implemented according to plan, despite a few challenges.
Liu also highlighted the important influencing factors to observe next year, which include, are monetary policy, inflation and the political and economic situation. &#8220;In addition, with global economic growth expected to slow down next year, the group will hold a relatively neutral view on the outlook for ICT in 2024. Hon Hai will do its best to maintain operational stability, meet customer needs, and leverage the company&#8217;s strengths,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: &#8220;Hon Hai is transforming from a manufacturing service company into a platform solution company,&#8221; added Liu. The company&#8217;s proposed focus areas for the future include developing platforms for smart cities, smart manufacturing and smart electric vehicles.
With the ongoing artificial intelligence boom, the company said that it will focus on developing its three major platforms powered by AI factories. The AI factories will analyze a large amount of data and generate various new application content or solutions through self-learning.
On the electric vehicle front, the company in its press release said that it has a total of 51 projects in progress, of which 23 are in the discussion and development stage involving 14 potential customers.

Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; recently reviewed ten stocks that have seen significant growth in 2024, suggesting that they are smart investments, although they are also highly speculative.
What Happened: Cramer, on Wednesday, highlighted ten stocks, each valued at over $1 billion, that have experienced substantial growth this year, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/13/jim-cramer-reviews-ten-stocks-that-are-up-more-than-200percent-this-year.html?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> CNBC. 
He cautioned that he is not currently recommending these stocks due to their high valuation, but he emphasized the importance of including speculative companies in investment portfolios for long-term performance.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s remember this list of frothy stocks and think of them the next time you&#8217;re about to ignore a stock for being too speculative,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because these names are often the epitome of speculating wisely, which can be the key for terrific long-term performance — of course, only when melded with index funds.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Says These 10 'Frothy' Stocks Are Up Over 200% YTD, Including Rocket Lab, Palantir, And Carvana: Here's What He Suggests Investors Can Do For 'Terrific' Long-Term Returns

Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) is reportedly planning to introduce ads on its Threads platform in early 2025 as Elon Musk&#8217;s X is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40762349/x-faces-major-advertiser-exodus-amid-string-of-elon-musk-controversies">losing favor with major brands</a>.
What Happened: Meta is set to allow a limited number of advertisers to create and publish ads on Threads starting January 2024, <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-to-launch-ads-on-threads-in-early-2025">reported</a> The Information, citing people familiar with the matter.
While the exact format of advertisements on Threads is yet to be revealed, they could potentially appear as &#8220;sponsored&#8221; posts. Meta aims to capitalize on the app's swift expansion, according to the report. Data compiled <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1451377/threads-global-quarterly-mau/">by</a> Statista shows that Threads&#8217; monthly active users stood at 175 million at the end of the June 2024 quarter, up from 150 million in the quarter before.
This move aligns with previous reports about the company&#8217;s plans to monetize the platform. Instagram head Adam Mosseri confirmed earlier that the company is &#8220;definitely&#8221;&nbsp;planning to bring ads to&nbsp;Threads.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s social media platform and Threads&#8217; rival X has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41229905/mark-cuban-says-elon-musk-advertisers-dont-want-to-be-associated-with-explicit-content-on-x-in-the-n">facing a backlash from advertisers</a> due to concerns over explicit content and free speech issues.
In September, a report by analytics group Kantar revealed a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40762349/x-faces-major-advertiser-exodus-amid-string-of-elon-musk-controversies">decrease in marketers&#8217; trust in X</a> as an advertising platform since its acquisition by Musk, with a predicted 26% decline in ad spending on X for 2025.
However, earlier this week, it was <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/34b6fc20-23f7-4e08-9ac4-ef05d5d66c13">reported</a> by the Financial Times that some advertisers are considering a return to X to curry&nbsp;favor with Musk and&nbsp;President-Elect Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, last month <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">Meta reported its third-quarter earnings</a>, which showed a revenue beat and a 5% increase in daily activities. 
During the earnings, the tech giant revealed that it generated&nbsp;$39.8 billion in advertising revenue&nbsp;over the past three months, accounting for 97% of its total revenue.
However, Meta CFO Susan Li stated that the company does not anticipate Threads to be a significant revenue driver in 2025.

Rhythm enrolled 12 patients in its open-label 52-week Phase 3 VENTURE trial designed to evaluate setmelanotide in patients aged 2 to younger than 6 years with BBS or POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency. Clinically meaningful improvements were observed in both co-primary endpoints at week 52. Results of the trial demonstrated:
<ul>
<li>10 of 12 patients (83%)1 achieved ≥0.2-point reduction in body mass index (BMI) Z-score;</li>
<li>-18% in mean percent change in BMI from baseline;</li>
<li>91% of caregivers reported patients had reduced hunger compared with baseline, and the caregivers also reported feelings of reduced personal burden; and</li>
<li>No new safety signals were observed.</li>
</ul>
Consistent with prior experience, setmelanotide was observed to have been generally well tolerated.&nbsp;No serious adverse events (AEs) leading to study discontinuation or death were reported. The most common treatment-emergent AEs were skin hyperpigmentation (75%), vomiting (58%), nasopharyngitis (42%), upper respiratory tract infection (33%), and injection site bruising (33%).
