U.S. Transportation Secretary <strong>Sean Duffy<\/strong> is expected to deliver the news Tuesday during a visit to Boeing\u2019s manufacturing facility in <strong>Everett, Washington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The MAX 10, which can seat up to <strong>230 passengers<\/strong>, is a critical component of Boeing\u2019s strategy to compete with the Airbus A321neo. The aircraft currently accounts for approximately <strong>30% of Boeing&#39;s 737 backlog<\/strong>, with nearly <strong>1,500 orders<\/strong> from major carriers including United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. This certification clears the path for deliveries to begin, potentially as early as <strong>2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Intel and AMD Unify x86 AI Ecosystem<\/h2>\n<p>In a rare move of industry alignment, <strong>Intel (<a href=\"\/stock\/INTC\">INTC<\/a>)<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/AMD\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"16\" title=\"stock: AMD\">AMD<\/a> (<a href=\"\/stock\/AMD\">AMD<\/a>)<\/strong> have agreed to collaborate on simplifying AI development. The two semiconductor giants will integrate their respective optimization libraries into a single default open-source acceleration library, <strong>oneDNN<\/strong>, for the <strong>PyTorch<\/strong> machine learning framework.<\/p>\n<p>This partnership aims to eliminate fragmented software paths for developers, ensuring that AI applications run consistently across all x86-based CPUs. The move is seen as a strategic effort to maintain the relevance of x86 architecture in a market increasingly dominated by specialized AI accelerators and GPUs.<\/p>\n<h2>Meta Policy Chief Joel Kaplan to Exit<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Meta Platforms (<a href=\"\/stock\/META\">META<\/a>)<\/strong> announced that <strong>Joel Kaplan<\/strong>, the company\u2019s Chief Global Affairs Officer and a key adviser to CEO <strong>Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>, will depart in early 2027. Kaplan has spent over 15 years leading Meta&#39;s global policy and government relations, navigating the company through intense regulatory scrutiny and political challenges.<\/p>\n<p>To facilitate the transition, Meta President <strong>Dina Powell McCormick<\/strong> will take on expanded external affairs responsibilities. Kaplan is expected to remain in his role through the <strong>2026 U.S. midterm elections<\/strong> to ensure stability during the high-stakes political cycle.<\/p>\n<h2>Geopolitical Tensions: Iran and Pakistan Mediation<\/h2>\n<p>Diplomatic activity intensified in the Middle East as <strong>Pakistan\u2019s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir<\/strong> met with <strong>Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian<\/strong> in Tehran. Pakistan continues to serve as a primary mediator between Washington and Tehran, following the collapse of a previous interim peace agreement signed in June.<\/p>\n<p>The meetings coincide with firm rhetoric from Iranian Parliament Speaker <strong>Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf<\/strong>, who stated that Iran has &quot;nothing new to say&quot; to the U.S. until seven core conditions are met. These demands reportedly include the lifting of the <strong>U.S. naval blockade<\/strong> on Iranian ports and the release of frozen assets. Iran has maintained that the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, a vital global energy artery, will remain restricted until these conditions are satisfied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Boeing (BA) is set to receive FAA certification for its largest jet, the 737 MAX 10, with an
