TODAY IN AI

1. Former OpenAI CTO’s next project takes shape: OpenAI is struggling to hold onto top players as some of its biggest names head for the door — and into the hands of an influential former exec. In September, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati stepped down to start her own venture. She reportedly just brought on a member of OpenAI’s model release team named Mianna Chen — marking at least her third high-profile poach in the last couple of months.

2. Apple’s new home device will make AI front and center: The iPhone maker is working on a wall-mounted, 6-inch display loaded up with an AI-powered Siri, plus lots of other Apple Intelligence features. It’ll be able to control your appliances and even navigate across different apps for you. Plus, you’ll be able to do video calls with it. The device could be announced as soon as next March.

3. Brockman returns to OpenAI: After a three-month sabbatical, OpenAI co-founder and President Greg Brockman has returned to the company. His comeback coincides with a series of high-profile departures, including former CTO Mira Murati and co-founder Ilya Sutskever. Brockman is reportedly working with CEO Sam Altman to find a new role at the company.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Amazon takes on Nvidia with custom chips

Amazon Web Services makes up around a third of the world’s cloud infrastructure — but at the end of the day, it relies on Nvidia chips to get the job done. In fact, it’s Nvidia’s state-of-the-art semiconductors that could help the tech giant land a $475M deal with IBM soon. 

That makes Amazon’s next move more than a little risky: It’s building its own AI chips so that it’s less beholden to Nvidia. Anthropic is already testing out one called Trainium 2 that’s supposedly powerful enough to train the world’s largest models.

The reason: Nvidia’s chips are hard to come by, with a months-long waiting list for the newer ones. Amazon’s custom chips would also be more efficient than what Nvidia has to offer. The company says the idea isn’t to burn bridges with one of its biggest partners, but to create a “healthy alternative.”
