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

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

The generative AI boom is not only reshaping software and Silicon Valley balance sheets, it is also remaking the job market for the people building the physical backbone of AI.  As tech companies race to expand the data centers that train and run large AI models, construction workers who can help deliver these massive projects are seeing unusually large jumps in pay, along with benefits that were rare in the trades just a few years ago. In many regions, moving into data cent

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

Intuit’s new multimillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI marks a significant step in the fusion of artificial intelligence with mainstream financial services, bringing some of the industry’s most widely used tax and financial tools directly into ChatGPT. Announced as a multiyear agreement valued at more than $100 million, the deal opens the door for Intuit’s major products, TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma and Mailchimp, to operate natively within ChatGPT, offering users a

Alibaba is making its most determined push yet into China’s consumer AI market with the launch of its newly upgraded Qwen chatbot, a move that signals a significant strategy shift for the tech giant. For years, Alibaba focused its artificial intelligence efforts primarily on enterprise clients through its cloud business, leaving consumer-facing AI tools underdeveloped compared with its biggest rivals. The debut of the new Qwen app, now available for free through a mobile app

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

Baidu’s latest push into artificial intelligence hardware marks a significant step in China’s drive toward technological self-sufficiency as geopolitical tensions continue to reshape the global chip landscape. At its annual developer conference, the company unveiled two new AI processors, the M100 and M300, positioned as powerful, low-cost, domestically controlled alternatives for Chinese enterprises seeking to reduce reliance on U.S. technology. The M100, designed primarily
