Elon Musk has revived a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of fraudulently obtaining $44 million in seed funding by promising to keep OpenAI's technology open-source and prioritize the public good, only to later turn it into a for-profit venture with ties to Microsoft, which Musk claims betrays the original mission and has caused irreparable harm to both his interests and the public.
Meta has announced a program to award groups using its models for good with $2m to help develop these tools for economically and socially impactful projects.
BYU chemical engineering professor Matt Memmott has developed an AI algorithm that could reduce the nuclear reactor design and licensing process by a decade, cutting costs significantly. His team's research shows AI can optimize complex nuclear design problems much faster than traditional methods, with one example reducing design time from six months to just two days. The findings aim to accelerate nuclear power production to meet rising energy demands and maintain affordable power costs.

This project introduces a method to balance computational loads during large-scale 3D parallel training of vision-language models, addressing the imbalance caused by differing data distributions and model architectures.
This blog explores the dichotomy of love and hate for AI, emphasizing its pivotal role in progress while also acknowledging the distrust and dissatisfaction people have with Big Tech. Disdain for generative AI stems from its perceived shortcomings and the high-cost, low-return reality emphasized by tech leaders' actions. Ultimately, the misaligned efforts of technologists risk a widespread aversion to AI, well beyond generative models, threatening the potential of beneficial AI applications.
Tezi raised $9M in seed funding led by 8VC and Audacious Ventures to develop Max, an AI-driven recruiting agent that autonomously manages end-to-end hiring processes.
OpenAI has announced that this year's DevDay conference will shift from a major event to a series of smaller, on-the-road developer sessions, focusing on updates to APIs and developer services rather than unveiling a new flagship model.
