Nvidia is discussing a deal that could make it much more than OpenAI’s biggest chip supplier. The chip maker is reportedly in talks to guarantee as much as $250 billion in financing that would allow OpenAI to lease computing capacity at a massive AI data center planned for southern Ohio. If completed, it would rank among the largest financial commitments ever linked to AI infrastructure and deepen one of the technology industry’s closest partnerships. The proposal also stands out because Nvidia would be helping finance the infrastructure that will eventually buy huge volumes of its own AI chips. While the…

Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 5, a new AI model that delivers performance close to its flagship Claude Fable 5 while costing half as much to use. This launch is the company’s fourth Claude model release in less than two months and shows that Anthropic is now competing as much on price and efficiency as it is on raw performance. According to the AI safety company, Opus 5 is designed for everyday work such as software development, office tasks, research, and knowledge work. It keeps the same API pricing as the earlier Opus 4.8 model at $5 per million input…

Tesla is generating more revenue than ever, but that growth is no longer enough to satisfy investors. The electric vehicle maker reported second quarter revenue of $28.24 billion, up 26% from a year earlier and above Wall Street expectations. Yet adjusted earnings came in at 33 cents per share, well below the 51 cents analysts expected. The company also posted negative free cash flow of about $1.1 billion for the first time in more than two years as spending on artificial intelligence, robotics, manufacturing, and data centers accelerated. This has become a growing challenge for Tesla, especially as Elon Musk…

Alphabet has delivered one of its strongest quarters in years, with revenue beating expectations and Google Cloud recording another surge in growth. Yet investors are focused on something else. The Google parent company raised its 2026 capital spending forecast to between $195 billion and $205 billion, pushing expected investment beyond the $200 billion mark. However, the announcement sent Alphabet shares down about 7% as Wall Street questioned how quickly those massive AI investments will translate into stronger profits and cash flow. The reaction highlights a broader shift across the technology industry. While investors are still backing artificial intelligence, they are…

Just a week after ordering Google to open Android to rival AI assistants under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Commission has now taken a much tougher step by issuing its largest DMA fine against the company. The EU has fined Google €890 million for breaking the Digital Markets Act, marking the largest penalty issued under the law so far. In response to this, the Trump administration announced plans to investigate whether the EU unfairly targets American technology companies and warned that new tariffs could follow. What began as a competition enforcement case is now spilling into trade policy,…

A critical security flaw in ServiceNow’s AI Platform is now being exploited by attackers, raising the risk for thousands of organizations that depend on the software to run IT, HR, customer service, and other core business operations.

Tracked as CVE-2026-6875, the vulnerability is a pre authentication remote code execution vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.5. It affects the ServiceNow AI Platform and allows an attacker to break out of the platform’s…

The U.S. says it has found signs that some Chinese AI models may contain “watermarks” linked to American AI systems. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, these findings have raised concerns that some companies may have used American AI models through unauthorized distillation. While these claims have prompted Washington to review whether intellectual property laws were violated, it hasn’t resulted in formal action. But this has added another point of tension in the growing AI rivalry between the U.S. and China. What’s behind the claim? Why does it matter? What happens next? The investigation is still in its early stages.…

The European Union has taken one of its strongest steps yet to reshape competition in the tech industry, ordering Google to open key Android features to rival AI assistants and share valuable Google Search data with competing search engines. The move comes under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and is the clearest sign yet that Europe’s landmark tech law is moving beyond promises into enforcement. Google Must Open Android to Rival AI Assistants The European Commission issued two legally binding specification measures that require Google to give competing AI assistants the same access to Android features that its own Gemini…

Nearly two years after leaving OpenAI, former Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati has launched the first AI model from her new company, Thinking Machines Lab. The model, called Inkling, is designed as an open-weight multimodal system that developers can download and customize. While the launch marks a major milestone for one of the most closely watched AI startups in Silicon Valley, one disclosure in the company’s technical report has drawn particular attention. Thinking Machines Lab has confirmed that part of Inkling’s training process relied on synthetic data generated by Chinese open models. At a time when Washington is increasing scrutiny…

China has taken one of its biggest steps yet to shape how artificial intelligence (AI) is governed around the world. On July 16, representatives from 29 countries signed an agreement in Shanghai to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO). The new intergovernmental body will be headquartered in Shanghai and is designed to promote international cooperation and global governance for AI. More importantly, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres attended the signing ceremony, giving the launch added international visibility. The move comes as governments around the world continue to debate how AI should be regulated. While countries in Europe, the…
