1. Notion Launches AI Agent That Actually Does Your Work
Notion just unveiled their biggest evolution yet with Notion 3.0, featuring AI Agents that can complete entire workflows autonomously. The agent can create documents, build databases, pull data from multiple sources, and handle up to 20 minutes of work across hundreds of pages at once. This isn't just a chatbot anymore. It's a power user that understands your workspace context and executes complex multi-step tasks, with the company now crossing $500 million in annual revenue as 50% of customers adopt AI features.
2. Google Brings Gemini AI to Chrome for All US Users
Google's rolling out what they're calling Chrome's biggest upgrade ever, bringing Gemini AI directly into the browser for all Mac and Windows users in the US. The new features include a Gemini button that lets you analyze content across multiple tabs, AI-powered search from the address bar, and automated task handling like booking appointments or ordering groceries. Chrome's also getting enhanced security features powered by AI to block scams and manage passwords with one-click updates across supported sites.
3. DeepSeek Claims Its AI Model Cost Just $294,000 to Train
Chinese AI developer DeepSeek revealed in a Nature paper that training their R1 model cost only $294,000 using 512 Nvidia H800 chips over 80 hours. This is a fraction of what US competitors spend, with OpenAI's Sam Altman previously stating foundational model training costs "much more" than $100 million. The company used reinforcement learning techniques that reward the model for solving problems correctly, allowing it to develop its own strategies without copying human tactics or relying on expensive human-annotated data.
4. NVIDIA and Intel Partner on Next-Gen AI Infrastructure
NVIDIA and Intel announced a historic collaboration to develop custom data center and PC products that integrate both companies' technologies. Intel will build NVIDIA-custom x86 CPUs for AI infrastructure platforms and x86 system-on-chips that integrate NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets for PCs. NVIDIA's also investing $5 billion in Intel stock at $23.28 per share. The partnership aims to tightly couple NVIDIA's AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel's CPU tech and the vast x86 ecosystem.
5. Microsoft Unveils World's Most Powerful AI Datacenter in Wisconsin
Microsoft opened Fairwater, their most sophisticated AI factory yet in Wisconsin, covering 315 acres with 1.2 million square feet of facilities. The datacenter functions as a single massive AI supercomputer using hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, delivering 10X the performance of today's fastest supercomputer. It features closed-loop liquid cooling with zero water waste, exabytes of storage spanning five football fields in length, and connects to a global network of Azure datacenters to create a distributed AI supercomputer system.
6. Amazon Launches AI Tools to Help Sellers Launch Products Faster
Amazon unveiled new AI-powered tools to help sellers launch products with less risk and faster customer feedback.
