Max claims customers are not loyal in legal AI because firms treat deployments as extended pilots and 'call options' on AI, typically signing one-to-three-year contracts rather than five-year terms.
Agent Test Quality Drivers (Training Data Density And Local Exemplars)
Coding agents tend to produce better Python tests because pytest has abundant high-quality examples in their training data (including fixtures, HTTP mocking, and snapshot testing patterns).
Explicitly instructing an agent to use a specific tool such as pytest-httpx can guide it toward the intended approach for mocking HTTP endpoints in tests.

Rare earth miners (e.g., via REMX) are characterized as a more attractive catch-up trade than chasing gold because of strategic-policy tailwinds and being below prior historical levels.
Credit Spreads, Duration Risk, And Fed-Cut Skepticism
