Both models have multimodal capabilities, allowing them to process video, images, and audio, as

1 Growth Stock Down 45% to Buy Right Now, According to Wall Street

Shares of Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS) have climbed nearly 10% so far this year, partly on the back of a strong financial report for its fiscal 2025 second quarter (which ended Jan. 31). The company is a specialist provider of cybersecurity software, and it's experiencing robust demand from businesses as they try to navigate an increasingly dangerous digital environment. Despite its recent strength, Zscaler stock remains 45% below its all-time high, which was set during the tech frenzy in 2021, so it's not too late for investors to buy.

Prediction: This Vanguard Index Fund Will Continue to Beat the S&P 500 in 2025

The Trump administration has unnerved investors with its departure from traditional trade policy. The average tax on U.S. imports fell to 2.5% under the previous administration, but the tariffs Trump has imposed or plans to impose would raise that figure to 8.4%, according to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation. Fearing the impact of a trade war on the U.S. economy, investors have rotated away from domestic equities and into international stocks.

China's Baidu launches two new AI models as industry competition heats up

HONG KONG (Reuters) -China's Baidu said on Sunday it has launched two new artificial intelligence models, including a new reasoning-focused model that it said rivalled DeepSeek's model, as it vies to stand out in a fiercely competitive AI race. Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's roll-out of AI models which it says is on par with, or even better than, industry-leading models in the United States at a fraction of the cost, has roiled the industry and re-energised the global AI race. "ERNIE X1 delivers performance on par with DeepSeek R1 at only half the price," Baidu said of one of the new models.
