1. OpenAI Partners with Broadcom to Build Its First AI Chip by 2026

OpenAI just dropped big news about building its own AI chips with Broadcom. The ChatGPT maker plans to start mass production in 2026, using these chips internally to power its AI systems. Broadcom's CEO revealed they scored over $10 billion in AI orders from a mystery customer, now confirmed as OpenAI. The chips will be made using TSMC's 3nm process, joining tech giants like Google and Amazon who already build custom silicon.

2. Google's EmbeddingGemma Dominates Mobile AI Leaderboard

Google released EmbeddingGemma, a 308 million parameter model that just became the highest ranking open multilingual embedding model under 500M on the MTEB benchmark. This mobile-first model runs on less than 200MB of RAM with quantization, supports over 100 languages, and delivers sub-15ms inference on EdgeTPU. It's designed for on-device RAG pipelines and semantic search, working offline without internet connection while maintaining privacy.

3. Warner Bros Joins Studios' Copyright Battle Against Midjourney

Warner Bros filed a lawsuit against Midjourney, becoming the third major studio to accuse the AI platform of copyright violations. The suit claims Midjourney creates unauthorized images and videos of characters like Superman, Batman, and Bugs Bunny, recently removing guardrails that blocked infringing content. Warner Bros argues Midjourney made a calculated decision to offer zero copyright protection despite knowing about the massive scope of infringement happening on their platform.

4. OpenAI Launches AI-Powered Hiring Platform to Compete with LinkedIn

OpenAI announced the OpenAI Jobs Platform, an AI-powered hiring service launching mid-2026 to connect businesses with employees. The platform will use AI to match company needs with worker skills, offering a dedicated track for small businesses and governments to access AI talent. OpenAI also plans to launch AI fluency certifications in late 2025, partnering with Walmart to certify 10 million Americans by 2030 through their OpenAI Academy program.

5. Anthropic Blocks Chinese-Owned Companies from Using Its AI Services

Anthropic just banned any company more than 50% owned by Chinese entities from accessing its AI services, including overseas subsidiaries. The Claude maker says groups were bypassing existing restrictions through foreign-based subsidiaries, potentially advancing military applications and threatening US national security. This unprecedented move by a major AI company will cost Anthropic hundreds of millions in revenue but closes a critical loophole that let Chinese firms access advanced AI through backdoor methods.

6. Hitachi Invests $1 Billion in US Power Grid for AI Data Centers

Hitachi Energy announced a massive $1 billion investment to expand US power grid infrastructure manufacturing, responding to surging electricity demand from AI data centers. The investment includes $457 million for a new transformer facility in South Boston, Virginia, creating 825 jobs and becoming America's largest producer of these massive transformers. The move supports Trump's AI Action Plan as data centers are expected to triple energy use, consuming 12% of domestic power supply within three years.
