Google and OpenAI escalated their rivalry at the forefront of artificial intelligence on the same day, with Google unveiling its most advanced AI research agent yet just as OpenAI released GPT 5.2, codenamed Garlic.  Google’s announcement centered on a major upgrade to Gemini Deep Research, which it described as a reimagined agent capable of long form reasoning, complex analysis, and enterprise grade investigation rather than simply generating research reports. The closely t

OpenAI appears poised to accelerate the release of its next major ChatGPT model as the competition in generative AI tightens.  According to reporting cited by multiple outlets, OpenAI plans to unveil GPT 5.2 this week, earlier than its original late December target, after CEO Sam Altman reportedly declared a “code red” internally in response to Google’s Gemini 3 launch last month (TechBuzz). While OpenAI has not publicly confirmed unreleased product timelines, the company ty

Accenture and OpenAI are deepening their relationship in a move that signals how quickly enterprise AI is becoming a standard part of consulting delivery, not just an client offering.  Under the agreement, Accenture plans to equip tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise, positioning it as the largest group of workers upskilled through OpenAI Certifications. The idea is straightforward but ambitious: by putting the same tools into daily consulting, oper

At AWS re:Invent this week, Amazon Web Services signaled that the next phase of enterprise AI is less about picking a single “best” chatbot model and more about tailoring models to a company’s exact data, language, and use cases.  Coming right after AWS announced Nova Forge, a service for training custom versions of its Nova AI models, the company introduced new features in Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker AI meant to make custom large language model work faster and less

Amazon Web Services is stepping up its push to make AI infrastructure faster, cheaper, and less power hungry with the formal launch of its third generation training chip, Trainium3, unveiled at AWS re:Invent 2025.  The company introduced Trainium3 UltraServer, a full system built around a 3 nanometer Trainium3 chip plus AWS’s in house networking, framing it as a major leap not only for training large AI models but also for running AI applications during peak demand (Bort). I

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new large language model codenamed “Garlic,” a move that signals just how quickly the competitive balance in AI can shift.  According to reporting based on The Information, OpenAI’s Chief Research Officer Mark Chen told colleagues the model has been testing strongly inside the company, especially on coding and reasoning tasks, where it was described as performing well against Google’s Gemini 3 and Anthropic’s Opus 4.5. (Bakolia; “OpenAI De

Alibaba’s newly relaunched Qwen AI app has rapidly become one of the most talked-about developments in the global artificial intelligence landscape, recording more than 10 million downloads within its first week of public beta. The surge marks one of the fastest early adoption curves seen in the consumer AI market, surpassing the initial momentum of tools like ChatGPT, Sora, and DeepSeek (Artificial Intelligence News). The explosive uptake reflects a strategic shift in how m

Zyphra’s unveiling of ZAYA1 marks a significant moment in the AI hardware landscape, proving that large-scale model training can succeed outside NVIDIA’s well-established ecosystem.  After a year of collaboration with AMD and IBM, Zyphra trained ZAYA1 entirely on AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs, Pensando networking, and the ROCm software stack, demonstrating that AMD’s platform can support major foundation models without exotic configurations or performance compromises (Artificial

Anthropic has introduced Claude Opus 4.5, a significant upgrade to its most capable AI model and one built specifically to excel at coding, professional workflows, and long-running agent tasks.  Released shortly after updates to Google’s Gemini 3 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.1, the new model takes a different approach by focusing less on flashy content generation and more on dependable workplace performance (CNET). Anthropic says Opus 4.5 is designed for getting real work done, buildi

Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Anthropic have entered a sweeping new alliance that marks one of the most significant shifts yet in the global AI infrastructure landscape. The three companies are combining cloud scale, advanced hardware, and frontier model development to accelerate the next generation of AI systems while expanding enterprise access to high-performance compute. At the center of the partnership is Anthropic’s decision to scale its Claude models on Microsoft Azure, backe

Brookfield Asset Management has unveiled a sweeping US$100-billion artificial intelligence infrastructure program that signals just how aggressively global investors are moving to support the next generation of AI technologies. Announced on Wednesday, the initiative is being launched in partnership with Nvidia and the Kuwait Investment Authority, bringing together one of the world’s leading investment managers, a dominant AI chipmaker, and a major sovereign wealth fund to acc

Databricks is once again attracting major attention from investors as the company reportedly enters talks to raise new capital at a valuation exceeding $130 billion (TechCrunch; VARINDIA; TipRanks). If completed, the round would mark a significant leap from its previous $100 billion valuation just a few months earlier and position the company among the most valuable private tech firms globally. The surge in valuation reflects not only Databricks’ rapid financial growth but al

Snowflake and SAP have joined forces to launch a groundbreaking collaboration that unites the Snowflake AI Data Cloud with SAP’s Business Data Cloud (SAP BDC), marking a new era in enterprise artificial intelligence and data integration. This strategic partnership aims to empower organizations to harness semantically rich business data with the scalability and intelligence of Snowflake’s platform, enabling faster innovation, more informed decision-making, and enterprise-grade
