Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI delivered closing arguments this week, leaving jurors to decide whether OpenAI crossed legal lines after reshaping into a more for‑profit entity. The courtroom drama centered on Sam Altman's credibility, especially after his congressional testimony about his equity stake was challenged. Both sides accused the other of misleading statements, underscoring a broader industry question: can AI labs be trusted when much of their inner workings remain opaque? Lire la suite

OpenAI announced a partnership with Malta that will give every Maltese citizen and resident free access to ChatGPT Plus for a year after they complete a government‑backed AI literacy course.

Officials say the move is part of a broader push to embed AI education into public services, while similar discussions are underway in the United Arab Emirates. Lire la suite

OpenAI announced a partnership with Malta that will give every resident and citizen a free year of ChatGPT Plus, provided they complete an AI basics course offered by the University of Malta. The program, described as the first of its scale, requires participants to hold an EU eID and will be administered by the Malta Digital Innovation Authority. OpenAI also revealed it is pausing its planned Stargate data center in the United Kingdom, citing high energy costs and regulatory hurdles. Lire la suite

OpenAI unveiled a new suite of personal finance features on Friday, making them available in preview to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States. The tools let users link bank accounts, credit cards and investment platforms through a partnership with Plaid, then ask the chatbot to analyze spending, track subscriptions and model future financial goals. The rollout follows OpenAI’s acquisition of the Hiro finance‑tech team earlier this year and leverages the latest GPT‑5.5 model, which OpenAI says improves contextual reasoning for money‑related queries.

OpenAI is reportedly consulting lawyers after Apple’s rollout of ChatGPT within Siri failed to meet the AI firm’s expectations. Insiders say the partnership, once billed as a multi‑billion‑dollar opportunity, suffered from design choices that made the service hard to use and poorly promoted. OpenAI now considers legal options, citing a lack of transparency and what it calls an “honest effort” from Apple. Lire la suite

OpenAI announced a sweeping reorganization that folds its flagship products—ChatGPT, Codex and the developer API—into a single product organization led by co‑founder Greg Brockman. The move, detailed in an internal memo, aims to eliminate redundant engineering effort, focus resources on a unified "agentic" platform and streamline the company’s narrative ahead of a planned IPO. The restructuring follows a series of shutdowns dubbed "side quests," a December "code red" alert and ongoing legal battles that have pressured the firm to tighten its compute budget and sharpen its market position.

Former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati unveiled a new class of AI at Thinking Machines Lab that prioritizes human collaboration. The startup demonstrated “interaction models” that process live audio‑visual input, understand pauses and tone, and respond in real time, a stark departure from conventional voice assistants that simply transcribe speech. While the prototypes remain unreleased, Murati says the technology is meant to keep people in the loop as AI grows more capable. The move underscores a growing divide in the industry between firms racing toward autonomous superintelligence and those betting on human‑in‑the‑loop designs. Lire la suite

Cerebras Systems closed its first day on the Nasdaq at $311.07, up 68% from its $185 IPO price, giving the wafer-scale chip company a market capitalization of approximately $95 billion. The offering raised $5.55 billion, making it the largest US tech IPO since Snowflake's $3.8 billion debut in 2020. This milestone validates investor appetite for pure-play AI hardware and sets the stage for potential IPOs from SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, worth $3 trillion combined. Lire la suite

A recent social media post from Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das highlights the stark contrast between those who have made fortunes in the AI industry and those who are struggling. Das estimates that around 10,000 people, including founders and employees at companies like OpenAI and Nvidia, have achieved 'retirement wealth' of over $20 million, while others are facing layoffs and uncertainty about their career paths.

Elon Musk's xAI has rolled out Grok Build, a new coding agent aimed at professional developers. The beta version is limited to SuperGrok Heavy subscribers, who pay $300 a month for early access. Marketed as a rival to Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's tools, Grok Build arrives amid Musk's admission that xAI has lagged behind competitors in software‑engineering AI. The launch also follows controversy over the Grok model’s earlier generation of sexualized images and a recent acquisition by SpaceX that could see the AI run on orbital data centers. Lire la suite

A nine‑person California jury has begun deliberations in the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI, its co‑founders and Microsoft. The jurors must decide whether OpenAI breached a charitable‑trust agreement, unjustly enriched its leaders, and whether Microsoft aided that breach. OpenAI argues the case is barred by statutes of limitations, that Musk delayed his claim unreasonably, and that his own conduct disqualifies him. A verdict could reshape the organization’s for‑profit arm and its relationship with major investors. Lire la suite

Cerebras Systems went public Thursday, sending its shares soaring above $300 and turning Benchmark's $270 million investment into a stake worth more than $5 billion. Eric Vishria, the Benchmark partner who reluctantly sat down with the AI‑chip startup in 2016, recalled how a single slide about GPUs sparked his confidence in the fledgling team. After years of engineering hurdles, the wafer‑scale processor finally found a market, attracting customers like OpenAI, AWS and Abu Dhabi’s G42. The IPO’s success marks one of Benchmark’s biggest hardware bets in a decade. Lire la suite

OpenAI is weighing a breach‑of‑contract claim against Apple after the two companies’ ChatGPT‑Siri partnership failed to generate the subscription revenue both expected. Lawyers for the AI firm are consulting an outside firm about sending a formal notice, though no lawsuit has been filed yet. Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 will let users choose rival AI models, and the tech giant has already signed a $1 billion‑per‑year deal with Google for Siri’s core intelligence. The dispute comes amid OpenAI’s broader legal battles and its recent acquisition of Jony Ive’s device startup. Lire la suite

OpenAI announced that its Codex coding platform is now reachable through the ChatGPT mobile app on Android and iOS. The move lets free‑tier and paid ChatGPT users prompt Codex from their phones while the actual code runs on a secure desktop or cloud environment. By routing requests through a protected relay, OpenAI keeps files and credentials on the original machine, offering developers real‑time updates and decision prompts on the go. The rollout follows Anthropic’s Claude Code mobile access and fits into OpenAI’s broader “super‑app” strategy. Lire la suite

OpenAI is reportedly weighing a breach‑of‑contract claim against Apple after the ChatGPT integration announced at WWDC failed to deliver the expected subscriber growth and platform visibility.

Microsoft announced it will end most internal licenses for Anthropic's Claude Code by June 30, steering its Experiences + Devices engineers to the GitHub Copilot CLI. The shift, outlined in an internal memo from EVP Rajesh Jha, aims to unify the company’s command‑line coding tools and trim operating costs before the new fiscal year begins in July. While Claude Code has been popular among developers, Microsoft says the move will let it shape Copilot CLI directly with GitHub and continue accessing Anthropic models through the new tool.

OpenAI said two of its employees were affected by a recent supply‑chain attack that compromised the popular open‑source library TanStack. The breach allowed hackers to insert malicious code into the library, steal limited credential material from internal repositories and briefly expose digital certificates used to sign OpenAI products. The company found no evidence that user data, production systems or intellectual property were compromised and is rotating the certificates, prompting a macOS update. The incident adds to a string of recent attacks on open‑source projects. Lire la suite
