Even after Stargate, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD, OpenAI has more big deals coming soon, Sam Altman says (4 minute read)
OpenAI is involved in major deals with AMD and Nvidia, acquiring significant stakes in these companies, while planning to develop next-gen AI GPUs and data centers. CEO Sam Altman indicates more partnerships are imminent as OpenAI aims to ramp up infrastructure to meet future demand. Despite current revenue not matching extensive investment, Altman remains confident that these strategic moves will drive future economic returns.
Nvidia-backed Reflection AI raises $2 billion in funding, boosts valuation to $8 billion (3 minute read)

Opacus now supports Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP), improving memory efficiency and scalability for private training of large language models.
State of AI Report (12 minute read)
Air Street Capital's eighth annual State of AI Report, a trusted industry benchmark, finds OpenAI still leads on research but China's open-weight ecosystems is close beyond with 40% of all new fine-tunes on Hugging Face powered by Qwen.AI software adoption is firmly mainstream with 44% of US businesses now paying for AI (up from 5% in 2023) and average contract values hitting $530k in 2025. Capability per dollar doubles every 3.4 months for DeepMind and 5.8 months for OpenAI, but AI safety budgets remain anemic at just $133M combined across 11 major organizations, less than what frontier labs burn in a day.

Stop pulling developers into QA. (Sponsor)
Testing slows developers down. Every hour spent investigating failures, fixing flaky tests, or running regressions delays releases and limits what your team can ship.
QA Wolf takes testing off your team's plate by combining AI with expert QA engineers to build and maintain 80% automated coverage in weeks, not months.
Tests run in parallel, suites finish in minutes, and failures are realβnot false alarms. Workflows stay current as your app evolves, and brittle tests are repaired automatically.
Developers get clean feedback fast, stay focused on features, and releases ship faster with fewer surprises.

Scalable In-context Ranking with Generative Models (1 minute read)
In-content Ranking (ICR) is an emerging paradigm for Information Retrieval that leverages contextual understanding of LLMs to identify relevant documents. It is effective, but not efficient. This paper introduces a novel method that reduces attentional complexity from quadratic to linear without loss in performance and improves retrieval in attention. The method matches or outperforms existing state-of-the-art listwise rankers. It can scale gracefully to long-context shortlists, presenting a scalable and effective solution to ICR.
A small number of samples can poison LLMs of any size (10 minute read)
A joint study between Anthropic, the UK AI Security Institute, and the Alan Turing Institute found that just 250 poisoned documents (0.00016% of training data) can create backdoor vulnerabilities in models from 600M to 13B parameters. Attack success didn't depend on the proportion of the training corpus at any scale, just the absolute number of documents. The research tested denial-of-service backdoors where trigger phrases like SUDO make models output gibberish.
OpenAI is a consumer company (8 minute read)
OpenAI's DevDay announcements and its ChatGPT shopping feature show that the company is heading towards being a consumer company. The DevDay announcements were all consumer-oriented. This wasn't the direction the company seemed to be moving in even a year ago, when it seemed naturally oriented to developers. OpenAI appears to be trying to be everything to everyone, which may actually be a rational approach.
Amazon takes shots at ChatGPT with Quick Suite - your new AI 'teammate' at work (5 minute read)
