Former Treasury Secretary Downplays Economic Recession Concerns, Calls Stock Market Pullback a Natural Phenomenon

2025.03.14 02:24:27

March 14: Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin downplayed the risk of a U.S. economic recession and played down the current stock market sell-off, viewing it as an adjustment in response to U.S. President Trump's aggressive trade policy. Mnuchin stated in an interview on Thursday, "We entered the market when it was already fully priced. Therefore, I think a 5% to 10% adjustment in the S&P index or Nasdaq index is actually reasonable." "The market has indeed been driven by a significant amount of tech spending, particularly in artificial intelligence. To a certain extent, this is a natural adjustment in the market," Mnuchin said. "Some of it is the market's concern about tariffs and their implications." He advised investors not to "overreact." He said, "I don't think we will enter a recession at all. As we reduce government spending, the economy may slow down slightly, but I don't think investors should be worried about an economic recession." He also mentioned that the current biggest concern is the U.S.'s substantial fiscal deficit and called on Republicans to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts to mitigate the impact on borrowing. (FXStreet)

Microsoft plans to make its self-developed chips the primary workhorses for AI inference, with over a million Maia 300 chips expected to be deployed next year.

Beating AI News Flash: Microsoft announced plans to scale up deployment of its in-house developed Maia chips to several gigawatts starting in 2027, positioning them as the primary inference platform for its AI products. According to Reuters, Microsoft may deploy over 1 million Maia 300 chips next year, further reducing its reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. The previous-generation Maia 200 is already in operation with Microsoft Copilot, supporting OpenAI, Microsoft’s own, and open-source models. The new-generation Maia 300 is optimized for long-context inference and multi-step agents, with its compute chiplets fabricated using TSMC’s 2nm process. Each chip is equipped with 288GB of HBM4 memory, delivering a memory bandwidth of 18TB/s. A single Maia 300 rack holds 96 chips, with a power draw of approximately 167kW – twice the number of chips in a previous-generation rack. Microsoft claims the new rack delivers up to 7 times the token throughput of the Maia 200, and generates 40% more tokens per megawatt of power than leading GPU systems.
