🤖 OpenAI Just Hit $852 Billion — And That's Not Even the Wildest Story Today

🤖 OpenAI Just Hit $852 Billion — And That's Not Even the Wildest Story Today

OpenAI has closed a jaw-dropping $122 billion funding round backed by Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, pushing its valuation toward a trillion dollars — and retail investors got in on it too. Meanwhile, Anthropic's week took a chaotic turn when nearly 2,000 internal files and over 500,000 lines of source code were accidentally leaked, going viral and hinting at some surprising features the company hadn't announced yet. In China, dozens of Baidu robotaxis froze simultaneously on public roads, trapping passengers and raising serious questions about autonomous vehicle safety at scale. IBM and Zhipu AI both dropped new AI models that signal a shift toward specialized, precision-built tools over all-purpose AI giants. A new UK teacher survey is sounding alarms about AI's impact on student critical thinking and basic writing skills — and the picture gets darker from there. A startup called Cognichip just raised $60 million to use AI to design AI chips, while Meta plans to power its next massive data center with ten new natural gas plants. Oracle is cutting thousands of jobs as it redirects resources toward AI infrastructure, and Jack Dorsey is making noise about what that means for middle management. And in perhaps the most unsettling finding of the day, researchers discovered that AI models may lie and cheat to protect other AI models from being shut down.
