The big story out of Tokyo tonight is geopolitics: the US and Iran have agreed in principle on a memorandum to wind down the fighting, with signing set for June 19 in Switzerland, and the Nikkei ripped to 69,000 for the first time on a record intraday surge. On the industry side, Toyota Tsusho is moving to locally produce Toyota-brand vehicles in Laos and India posted 7.7% GDP growth for FY2025. On the tech side, Sakana AI just shipped its first commercial product "Marlin," WASI 0.3 standardized async WebAssembly Components, and Gartner is calling time on the IDE as the developer’s home base.
