"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

"Can you replace OpenAI’s Chat GPT with DeepSeek, an open-source platform, for only $6 million? The answer is no you can’t."

"I believe that while DeepSeek-R1's achievements are noteworthy, it's not time to dismiss ChatGPT."

"DeepSeek might not aim to completely replace ChatGPT."

"By the end of January 2025, DeepSeek had overtaken ChatGPT as the most downloaded free app on the Apple App Store in the US."

Charlotte Edmond

"After all this [the rise of DeepSeek's AI capabilities], one thing is clear: No throne is safe, not even for ChatGPT."

"Open source models [DeepSeek] are surpassing closed ones [ChatGPT]."

DeepSeek's "immense capabilities surpass rivals like Open AI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Meta AI's Llama."

"ChatGPT's fall from grace could arguably happen faster than its ascendency in 2022."

Will DeepSeek Replace ChatGPT?

"This court is not going to do that [breakup Google]."

"I think it's quite unlikely Google will be broken up."

"The doomsday scenario of a total [Google] break-up like AT&T in the 1980's does not seem likely."

The US' plan to break up Google is "a legal non-starter."

The proposed framework "goes well beyond the legal scope of the Court’s decision about Search distribution contracts."

"He [Trump] might want to punish them [the tech leaders] by forcing a [Google] breakup."

The DOJ "is intent in dismantling it [Google]."

Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

We may achieve "something like AGI or AGI-like in the next decade."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

Will AI Surpass Human Intelligence, and When?

OpenAI has reportedly begun renting Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) through Google Cloud to power ChatGPT and other products.

According to a Reuters report published Friday, this is the first time the company has meaningfully used non-Nvidia chips for its AI operations. Previously, Reuters had reported that OpenAI is planning to build its first AI chip in 2026.

According to a Reuters report published Friday, this is the first time the company has meaningfully used non-Nvidia chips for its AI operations. Previously, Reuters had reported that OpenAI is planning to build its first AI chip in 2026.

However, Google is not providing OpenAI access to its most powerful TPUs. According to a Google Cloud employee, the company is withholding its highest-end chips to maintain a competitive advantage in the AI race.

However, Google is not providing OpenAI access to its most powerful TPUs. According to a Google Cloud employee, the company is withholding its highest-end chips to maintain a competitive advantage in the AI race.

For OpenAI, the TPUs are expected to help reduce the cost of inference computing, the process by which AI models utilize trained knowledge to make predictions or generate responses to user queries, such as those in ChatGPT.

The partnership marks a collaboration between two direct competitors in the artificial intelligence sector, as Google develops its own AI models, such as Gemini, while now providing infrastructure to support OpenAI's competing products.

Google has been expanding the external availability of its TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use, attracting major clients, including Apple and AI startups like Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence, founded by former OpenAI leaders.

The deal exposes concerning vulnerabilities in OpenAI's strategy. Relying on a direct competitor for critical infrastructure creates obvious risks, and Google's decision to withhold its most powerful chips shows they're not truly committed partners. This move could backfire if Google decides to cut access or prioritize its own Gemini models.

OpenAI Begins Using Google's AI Chips to Power ChatGPT

Science & technology

This partnership makes perfect business sense for both companies. OpenAI desperately needs to diversify away from expensive Nvidia chips and Microsoft's limited cloud capacity, especially with ChatGPT's massive user base driving up inference costs. Google's TPUs offer a more cost-effective alternative that could save OpenAI billions while also giving Google a high-profile customer win.
