In the latest news, South Korea has announced plans to secure 10,000 high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) this year. The country plans to keep itself relevant in the race toward artificial intelligence.
“As competition for dominance in the AI industry intensifies, the competitive landscape is shifting from battles between companies to a full-scale rivalry between national innovation ecosystems”.
-South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok said in a statement.
These 10,000 GPUs will be secured through public-private cooperation to help the country launch services at its national AI computing center early. While the US government has recently announced a new regulation that aims to restrict the flow of American AI chips and technology to certain countries, South Korea doesn’t fall into the restricted list.
The details of the type of GPU products to be purchased by South Korea, its models, and other particulars will be finalized by September of this year. The US regulation has essentially divided the world into two tiers. 18 countries are essentially exempt from the restrictions, while 120 face caps, and countries such as Iran, China, and Russia are barred completely.
In other news, tech mogul Elon Musk has released its latest artificial intelligence model, Grok 3. According to Musk, the AI model can outperform offerings from OpenAI and China’s DeepSeek based on early testing. This testing included standardized tests on math, science, and coding.
“We’re very excited to present Grok 3, which is, we think, an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2 in a very short period of time”.
-Musk said at a demonstration of Grok 3 on his social media platform X.
Musk’s team also said it was launching a new product called “Deep Search”, set to act as a “next generation search engine.”

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is a global technology company. On February 14, Bloomberg reported that Meta has hired the former chief executive officer of luxury goods marketplace The RealReal Inc. to expand its retail sales channels for Quest headsets, smart glasses, and other artificial intelligence wearables. Joining Meta as vice president of retail, John Koryl’s hire demonstrates Meta’s dedication toward investing in the retail experience for its AI products. Koryl will be reporting to Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth.
“It’s no secret that products like Quest, Ray-Ban Meta, and AI wearables require a different kind of customer experience beyond the standard retail offerings. We see an opportunity to build more direct expertise in the space and then share what we have learned with all of our retail partners who will continue to drive the bulk of our sales volume.”
-Bosworth in a memo sent to employees.
Overall, META ranks 3rd on our list of AI stocks making waves on Wall Street. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe.
