Is the AI hype cycle eating itself? Take a closer look at SoftBank and OpenAI's new joint venture on our latest Equity podcast episode via the link in our bio.

A man pretending to deliver a package robbed $11 million in crypto from a San Francisco home. The victim, Joshua, was tied up, beaten, and had his crypto wallets drained over 90 minutes. The home belongs to Lachy Groom, a venture capitalist who once dated OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

OpenAI has reportedly banned full-episode clips of South Park after users began creating entire fake episodes using its AI video tool. These weren’t just clips or fan edits but full videos recreating characters, voices, and animation style, sparking major concerns about intellectual property and rights misuse. This move underlines how quickly AI is erasing the line between original creative work and replica content—and how the entertainment industry is starting to draw the line.

Newly leaked internal documents reviewed by TechCrunch reveal that Microsoft has already received $865.9 million from OpenAI through a 20% revenue-share deal covering the first three quarters of 2025. This payout is far lower than the multibillion-dollar revenue figures the company has often implied publicly. The documents also show that OpenAI’s inference costs reached an estimated $12.4 billion from early 2024 through Q3 2025, underscoring how expensive it is to run large AI models at scale. These costs are significantly higher than what many analysts previously assumed. The leak raises questions about the sustainability of OpenAI’s business model and whether its rapid growth is being fueled more by massive compute spending than actual profitability. It also highlights how dependent OpenAI remains on Microsoft’s infrastructure. If accurate, the numbers suggest that OpenAI’s financial reality is much more fragile than its public image. Investors and partners may now push for transparency around true revenue, margins, and long-term viability. Follow us (👉@artificialintelligenceee) for everything latest from the AI world.

David Sacks, Greg Brockman (OpenAI president), Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang hanging out at the White House dinner on Tuesday.

Elon Musk publicly offered to help Apple upgrade Siri by integrating xAI’s Grok model, after reposting a suggestion that Apple should “fix Siri” and replace it with Grok 4.1. His reply was short but direct: “I’m down.” The proposal comes at a time when Apple is under pressure to improve Siri’s intelligence and compete with rapidly advancing AI assistants from Google, OpenAI, and now xAI. Siri’s limitations have been heavily criticized for years. Grok, built by Musk’s xAI, is designed to provide more conversational and real-time responses with access to live internet data. Musk claims future versions of Grok will outperform GPT-4, especially for reasoning and humor. There is no official partnership yet, but even a public suggestion from Musk has triggered major debate about whether Apple should outsource its core AI assistant technology. If it ever happened, it would dramatically reshape the AI ecosystem. Follow us (👉@artificialintelligenceee) for everything latest from the AI world. Source: Moneycontrol

Oracle’s massive commitment to become a core infrastructure provider for OpenAI has pushed the company into one of the most aggressive investment cycles in its history, creating a level of financial strain that markets have reacted to sharply. The scale of its data center expansion requires years of heavy spending, and the reliance on borrowing adds pressure as interest costs rise and cash generation trails far behind the pace of construction. What concerns analysts most is how closely Oracle’s future is now tied to OpenAI’s trajectory, because any slowdown in model demand or commercial momentum would leave Oracle carrying the full weight of its long term financing obligations. Investors are questioning whether today’s AI partnerships still deliver the stock market boost they did a year ago, especially as multiple tech giants have seen muted reactions to billion-dollar deals in the current environment.

Microsoft and Nvidia have teamed up to invest in Anthropic, marking one of the biggest alliances in the AI industry this year. As part of the deal, Anthropic will spend $30 billion on Microsoft’s Azure cloud, tightening the competition around frontier AI models. Nvidia is expected to invest up to $10 billion, while Microsoft will put in up to $5 billion. Both companies are joining Anthropic’s next funding round, a move analysts say is designed to reduce their dependence on OpenAI. Satya Nadella said Microsoft will continue working with OpenAI, but the company does not want to rely on a single frontier model provider. The partnership also deepens Nvidia’s position in the AI ecosystem. The chipmaker will work with Anthropic on next-generation hardware, including efforts tied to its Grace Blackwell and Vera Rubin platforms. Anthropic has committed up to 1 gigawatt of compute using Nvidia systems. Industry executives estimate this setup could cost more than $20 billion. Anthropic is now one of the fastest-growing AI companies, valued at around $183 billion and powered by strong enterprise demand. The company expects its revenue run rate to climb to nearly $26 billion next year, supported by more than 300,000 business customers.
