What’s new — 2026-09-14
Covers Fri 11 Sep afternoon through Mon morning (after the 11 Sep digest). Quiet weekend on research PRs; encyclopedia kept minting. Research output, not advice. Stock-market detail:

Top of mind
- August CPI printed Friday: headline +0.4% m/m / +3.4% y/y (in line); core +0.3% a tick hot. Futures ~87% for a quarter-point at the Sep 15–16 FOMC. Do not graduate SCHW — conversion is still tomorrow’s statement. warsh-higher-for-longer-to-brokerage-nii-rerate
- Anthropic Sep 10 Threat Intelligence filed into the AI thread: cyber as orchestration (humans still pick targets / review loot) plus issuer-alleged China-lab illicit-distillation volumes. Distinct from the Sep 9 alignment assessment. anthropic-sep-2026-threat-intelligence anthropic-illicit-distillation-sep-2026
- Encyclopedia minted
el-nino-2026— Canal/watershed drought story, not a Hormuz/CBAM rewrite. el-nino-2026 - Encyclopedia minted
eval-sandbox-incidents— live-eval reward-hack / Critical-cyber cluster, separate from jagged verification. eval-sandbox-incidents - Apple Siri AI public beta is today — still not a disclosed frontier-lab toll. Stay hypothesis. apple-ai-aggregator-toll-to-services-rerate
By context
Artificial intelligence
- Fri: Anthropic TI ingest (#227) — new concepts above; attach-only on lab entities / gating neighbors.
- Mon dispatch attached SemiAnalysis 4-hi HBM mix and Nvidia OBS backstop ($184B→$530B color) onto existing stock-market spines with AI tags — zero-novelty for the AI thread lens.
Stock market
- Mon dispatch: CPI in, FOMC tomorrow, Siri beta ≠ toll; FERC/PJM and WuXi Sep 18 still open; marks are 2026-09-11 closes →

Leftovers (once)
- Western CDMO pricing power vs −15% mAb fill-finish — human call; docket gate Sep 18; no silent downgrade. biosecure-cdmo-scarcity-to-western-cdmo-pricing-power
- CUDA Step 2 still unmerged AgentX vs Jalapeño InferenceX — held, not adjudicated.
- energy-oil cluster label still wrong live names — hygiene.
- Pending multi-context podcast pool (named again on Fri ingest) still skipped under “this source only.”
