Internal crisis meetings, a leader who cried “bullshit” and convinced no one, and billion-dollar negotiations that fell apart: Bloomberg reveals the backstory behind Apple’s decision to partner with Google.
Anthropic is dealing with an unusual problem: The recruiting team has to keep developing new take-home tests because the company’s own AI models are outperforming human candidates.
Google is connecting Gmail and Google Photos to its AI-powered search. Subscribers to Google AI Pro and Ultra in the US can now opt in to share their emails and photos for personalized search results.
The system reads hotel confirmations and analyzes vacation photos to suggest relevant restaurants or activities. For shopping queries, search results factor in brands you've purchased and your travel dates.
The feature, called "Personal Intelligence," is already available in Gemini and runs on the Gemini 3 model. It's opt-in only and Google acknowledges the system can make mistakes. Workspace business and education accounts are excluded entirely.
OpenAI's API business is growing rapidly, with CEO Sam Altman reporting that the company added over $1 billion in annual recurring revenue in just the last month.
OpenAI hit an ARR of over $20 billion by the end of 2025 - up from $6 billion in 2024 and $2 billion in 2023. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) represents the annualized value of recurring revenue from active subscriptions and contracts, typically excluding one-time payments.
The API growth Altman announced on X - roughly $1 billion in ARR in a single month - represents about five percent of the company's total ARR. That said, this figure reflects additional growth, not the API's share of overall revenue. How much of OpenAI's total ARR comes from API customers remains unclear.
On the other side of the ledger, OpenAI faces commitments of around $1.4 trillion for computing power over the coming years. To help cover these costs, the company is preparing to introduce ads in ChatGPT - despite Altman calling advertising a "last resort" just two years ago. The ads will initially roll out for free users and those on the new ChatGPT Go subscription tier.
An analysis of nearly 5,000 accepted research papers from the AI conference NeurIPS 2025 uncovered more than 100 fabricated citations – despite review by multiple experts.
Building a web browser from scratch is considered one of the most complex software projects imaginable. All the more remarkable: Cursor set hundreds of autonomously working AI agents to exactly this task and after nearly a week produced a working browser with its own rendering engine.
Following Microsoft's lead, OpenAI is reaching out to communities affected by massive AI infrastructure expansion. Through its "Stargate Community" program, the company promises that its AI data centers won't increase electricity prices for local residents. Microsoft made a similar pledge recently.
To deliver on this promise, OpenAI plans to fund its own energy sources, battery storage, and grid expansion. Each location will get a tailored plan based on local needs. The company also says it will better protect water resources and local ecosystems.
One year after announcing the Stargate project in January 2025, OpenAI says it has more than half of its 10-gigawatt capacity target for 2029 in the planning stages. The first site in Abilene, Texas is already training AI systems. Additional locations are under development in Shackelford County (Texas), Milam County (Texas), Dona Ana County (New Mexico), Port Washington (Wisconsin), Saline Township (Michigan), and Mount Pleasant (Wisconsin).
OpenAI has started offering ad placements in ChatGPT to dozens of advertisers. Unlike Google or Amazon, the company is initially charging based on views rather than clicks.
A new interactive demo from nonprofit CivAI reveals how differently AI models respond to ethical and political questions – and why Grok likes Elon Musk more than Mahatma Gandhi.
