Daniel Ricciardo is parting ways with one of the rarest cars in the world – his Aston Martin Valkyrie. Only 150 road-going versions exist, and his has clocked less than 100 miles.

The car, finished in custom “Badger Blue” paint with extensive Q Division personalisation, cost around £2.5 million when new. It’s now expected to fetch between £2 million and £2.4 million at auction.

Ricciardo’s Valkyrie will cross the block at Broad Arrow’s Zoute Concours Auction in October, offering collectors a shot at a Formula 1 driver’s hypercar.

Australia is on track to get its own ChatGPT.

Maincode, backed by Stake founder Ed Craven, has secured a multi-million dollar investment to train a sovereign Large Language Model (LLM) onshore in Melbourne.

Led by AI veteran Dave Lemphers and a core team of PhDs from Melbourne and RMIT, MainCode will own every line of code from metal to model.

“We’re targeting the end of this year to release our first fully trained-from-scratch, sovereign large language model built entirely in Australia on infrastructure we operate and control," says Lemphers.

"In a world where most companies are wrapping someone else’s API or fine-tuning foreign models, we believe Australia needs to own the main code of its AI future."
