Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

OpenAI will start mass-producing its own AI chips next year in partnership with US semiconductor company Broadcom, according to the Financial Times. The move is designed to reduce OpenAI's reliance on Nvidia and meet growing demand for computing power. On Thursday, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan mentioned a new customer that has committed to $10 billion in chip orders. Several sources confirmed that the customer is OpenAI. The company plans to use the chips exclusively for its own operations and does not intend to sell them to external clients. OpenAI is following a path already taken by Google, Amazon, and Meta, which have all developed specialized chips for AI workloads. CEO Sam Altman recently stressed that OpenAI needs more computing resources for its GPT-5 model and plans to double its computing capacity over the next five months.

Anthropic has raised $13 billion in a Series F funding round, bringing the company's valuation to $183 billion.

The number of large enterprise customers has increased sevenfold in a year. Claude Code has been especially successful, generating more than $500 million in annual revenue since its launch in May 2025. The new capital will support international expansion, safety research, and further development of Anthropic's AI platform.

WordPress showed off its experimental AI tool Telex at WordCamp US 2025 in Portland. Telex is designed to generate custom Gutenberg blocks for WordPress sites using simple text prompts. CEO Matt Mullenweg demonstrated how a user could create a basic marketing animation with just a few instructions. The tool is available at telex.automattic.ai and provides results as a .zip file for easy installation. Initial tests suggest Telex still has bugs to work out. Mullenweg described Telex as a prototype and part of WordPress's broader AI roadmap. He also introduced a lightweight browser assistant for answering WordPress questions, and referenced Perplexity's AI browser Comet, which could one day allow users to control WordPress directly.
