According to reports, the billing for Claude models will transition to a <strong>token-based system<\/strong> next year, moving away from the current compute-hour model.

The proposed acquisition, which would exceed <strong>$10 billion<\/strong>, aims to combine two leaders in the building products industry. While <strong>Owens Corning (<a href=\"\/stock\/OC\">OC<\/a>)<\/strong> has reportedly not yet engaged in substantive talks, its stock surged on the news, while Carlisle shares saw a moderate decline.<\/p>\n<p>The automotive industry is also seeing significant strategic pivots. <strong>Stellantis (<a href=\"\/stock\/STLA\">STLA<\/a>)<\/strong> announced it will construct a large <strong>Jeep<\/strong> SUV in China through its partnership with <strong>Dongfeng<\/strong>, while simultaneously planning a six-model European range by 2030. Meanwhile, <strong>BMW (<a href=\"\/stock\/BMWYY\">BMWYY<\/a>)<\/strong> is set to expand its electric vehicle production at its <strong>Spartanburg, South Carolina<\/strong> plant, with the new generation of the <strong>X5 SUV<\/strong> leading a push to produce at least six fully electric models in the U.S. by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<h2>Geopolitical Tensions and Legislative Moves<\/h2>\n<p>Tensions in the Middle East have escalated as <strong>Iran&#39;s Deputy Foreign Minister<\/strong> cautioned <strong>France<\/strong> against interfering in the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>. Iran maintains that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in <strong>Islamabad<\/strong> grants it exclusive authority over de-mining operations in the strategic waterway. This diplomatic friction comes as <strong>Qatar<\/strong> acts as a mediator, with its defense ministry coordinating regional security developments with Iranian officials.<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, <strong>House GOP leaders<\/strong> are preparing for a critical vote on the <strong>National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)<\/strong> this Wednesday. The legislative process faces hurdles, including a contentious amendment proposed by <strong>Rep. Thomas Massie<\/strong> to cut military aid to <strong>Israel<\/strong>. Additionally, the <strong>Japanese government<\/strong> is expected to provide <strong>150 billion yen ($1 billion)<\/strong> in subsidies to a <strong>Rakuten Group (<a
