OpenAI has acquired the analytics startup Statsig and named its founder, Vijaye Raji, as CTO for applications. Raji will report to Fidji Simo and take over technical leadership of ChatGPT and Codex.

Statsig, which focuses on A/B testing and feature management, is expected to speed up OpenAI's development cycles. OpenAI has already been using Statsig internally and now plans to fully integrate the platform. For now, Statsig will remain a separate unit in Seattle, with all employees joining OpenAI. The deal is valued at $1.1 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Dolby Vision 2 will use AI to fine-tune TV picture quality in real time, taking both the content and the viewing environment into account. 

The "Content Intelligence" system blends scene analysis, environmental sensing, and machine learning to adjust the image on the fly. Features like "Precision Black" enhance dark scenes, while "Light Sense" adapts the picture to the room's lighting.

Hisense will be the first to feature this AI-driven technology in its RGB Mini LED TVs. The MediaTek Pentonic 800 is the first processor with Dolby Vision 2 AI built in.

G42 is moving to lessen its dependence on Nvidia and is in talks with AMD, Cerebras Systems, and Qualcomm, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke to Semafor. G42 also holds a stake in Cerebras Systems.

Of the five gigawatts planned for the UAE-US AI Campus, one gigawatt is already set aside for a Nvidia-powered Stargate data center. But these negotiations make it clear G42 doesn't want to rely solely on Nvidia. The company is aiming for a more diversified hardware base, partly in response to geopolitical tensions and concerns over supply chain dependencies.

OpenAI is planning a data center in India with at least 1 GW of capacity, Bloomberg reports. The company is searching for local partners, but details about the location and timeline are still unclear. OpenAI has already registered in India and aims to open a New Delhi office in 2025.
