The US expected to run out of cash to pay its bills in just a few weeks unless the borrowing cap is raised. Today's meeting is not expected to finalize anything, but investors are hoping for more clarity as Biden and Republicans have so far been unable to find common ground on the matter.

CEO Alex Karp said demand for the company's new AI platform is, quote, "without precedent." But he did also warn about potential risks from new technologies. Palantir's overall revenue rose nearly 20% in the quarter, with both commercial and government units driving higher. The shares are surging in early trading.
