Who Owns the Chip, Who Owns the Model

OpenAI now has its own chip, called Jalapeño, built with Broadcom. Right now you pay for every word an AI generates partly because renting chips from Nvidia is expensive. A company that owns its own silicon controls those costs, and eventually, those savings or that leverage.

Anthropic is accusing Alibaba of systematically extracting Claude's capabilities, essentially probing it with carefully designed prompts to replicate what it knows. If you have ever wondered whether 'it is just a chatbot' means nobody would bother stealing it, this lawsuit answers that.

Researchers found that a small, organized group of Wikipedia volunteers edited articles on animal welfare and measurably shifted how large language models discuss the topic, because Wikipedia carries unusual weight in training data. The people who write what AI learns from have more power than most people realize.

Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash can now control a computer, clicking and typing on your behalf. It is the same category of capability as Anthropic's Computer Use, and the fact that it is landing in a fast, cheaper model means it will show up in a lot more products soon.

Nvidia published a cooling design that runs data centers at 45 degrees Celsius and cuts water consumption to nearly zero. The environmental footprint of AI is real, and better cooling is one of the more concrete levers anyone has found so far.
