billion<\/strong>. However, the company\u2019s financial sustainability remains under scrutiny as its <strong>adjusted operating loss<\/strong> widened to <strong>$10.9 billion<\/strong>, up from $10.1 billion in the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the widening losses, the company reportedly told investors its <strong>adjusted operating margin<\/strong> improved to <strong>-109%<\/strong> from -150% in Q2. The high burn rate is attributed to massive investments in compute power and talent, even as the company recently secured <strong>$11 billion<\/strong> in new funding at a <strong>$1.25 trillion valuation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Japan_Navigates_Inflation_and_Fiscal_Stability\"><\/span>Japan Navigates Inflation and Fiscal Stability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Prime Minister <strong>Sanae Takaichi<\/strong> addressed Japan&#39;s economic trajectory on Wednesday, emphasizing that the government will not pursue fiscal policies that could drive <strong>inflation excessively higher<\/strong>.
