For what it's worth, the article is clickbait. The headline says it all.
Meanwhile, it's being reported that Greg Abel has just sold more of BRK's AAPL shares.
Apparently he didn't like the headline.

Look at this: Google Gemini considers $100-million tech deals as "scraps." In my AI prompt, I misspoke, it should have been $100-billion+ deals, not $100-million+ deals, but Gemini answered my question. Correcting the prompt sorts things out. The companies below need $100-billion deals to move the needle; top-tier AI start-ups require $100-million deals.
AI prompt:
I would suppose this is a boring subject for you -->investing. But with AI and the tech companies, it now seems, that at the end of the day, less than ten publicly traded companies can "do" $100-million deals. Your thoughts?
Reply:
Investing in the AI era is indeed anything but boring; it has created a "Winner-Take-Most" dynamic where a tiny group of American giants possesses nearly all the dry powder required for $100 million+ deals.
As of April 2026, there are approximately seven to nine publicly traded American companies with the specific combination of massive cash reserves and strategic AI positioning to consistently execute such deals.
Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B -0.11% may have sold about $15 billion in stocks during the first quarter that were managed by Todd Combs, who left in December for an investment role at JPMorgan Chase.
CEO Greg Abel decided to unload the stocks that had been managed by Combs, who ran an estimated 5% of Berkshire’s equity portfolio that totals about $300 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Berkshire doesn’t disclose which stocks in the portfolio are run by which manager. Combs and investment manager Ted Weschler, who remains at Berkshire, had run a total of about 10%; Chairman Warren Buffett handled the other 90%.
As CEO, Abel now oversees the portfolio, with Weschler responsible for about 6% of the holdings. Abel succeeded Buffett as CEO at year’s end.
a) It's a highly advanced generative AI model and a large language model specifically optimized for cybersecurity. It is not a general-purpose chatbot meant for public use.
z) While it was trained to be a general-purpose model it is particularly useful in completing cybersecurity-related tasks that involve multiple steps.
In the wake of Anthropic’s announcement of its latest artificial intelligence model, Mythos, on April 7, the company has stood by an unusual decision: refusing to release it to the public. Not since OpenAI temporarily withheld its GPT-2 model in 2019 has a major developer deemed a system too dangerous for the public. More than a week later, that choice is still reverberating through finance and regulatory circles.
That same coding prowess makes Mythos a formidable offensive weapon, and Anthropic says it can outstrip all but the most skilled humans at identifying and exploiting software vulnerabilities.
In tests, it found critical faults in every widely used operating system and web browser. Of those vulernabilities, 99 percent have not yet been patched.
Anthropic has disclosed only a fraction of what it says it has found. Independent evaluations suggest the danger is real, if more bounded than the company has implied: an assessment by the U.K.'s AI Security Institute (AISI), which was granted early access, found the model succeeded in expert-level hacking tasks 73 percent of the time. Prior to April 2025, no AI model could complete those tasks at all.

As of early 2026, the largest power generator in North Dakota is the Coal Creek Station. It is a 1,150-megawatt (MW) lignite coal-fired plant located near Underwood. Let's round the "1,150" to 1,000.
However, the under-construction Bison Generation Station in Williams County is set to become the new largest, projected to produce 1,490 MW of natural gas power by 2030. Let's round the 1,490 to 1,500.
