OpenAI turns to Google's AI chips to power its products, The Information reports
June 27 (Reuters) - OpenAI has recently begun renting Google's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab artificial intelligence chips to power ChatGPT and other products, The Information reported on Friday, citing a person involved in the arrangement. The move, which marks the first time OpenAI has used non-Nvidia chips in a meaningful way, shows the Sam Altman-led company's shift away from relying on backer Microsoft's (MSFT.O), opens new tab data centers, potentially boosting Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) as a cheaper alternative to Nvidia's (NVDA.O), opens new tab graphics processing units (GPUs), the report said. As one of the largest purchasers of Nvidia's GPUs, OpenAI uses AI chips to train models and also for inference computing, a process in which an AI model uses its trained knowledge to make predictions or decisions based on new information. OpenAI hopes the TPUs, which it rents through Google Cloud, will help lower the cost of inference, according to the report. However, Google, an OpenAI competitor in the AI race, is not renting its most powerful TPUs to its rival, The Information said, citing a Google Cloud employee. Both OpenAI and Google did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. OpenAI planned to add Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, Reuters had exclusively reported earlier this month, marking a surprising collaboration between two prominent competitors in the AI sector. For Google, the deal comes as it is expanding external availability of its in-house TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use. That helped Google win customers including Big Tech player Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab as well as startups like Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence, two OpenAI competitors launched by former OpenAI leaders.

AT&T down: Outage map shows cities with no signal
Published: | Updated: Downdetector, a site that monitors online outages, shows major cities in the red, including New York, Houston, Los Angeles , Seattle and Atlanta. Many users in Arkansas reported that their phones are only displaying 'SOS' in the status bar, which indicates that the device has lost connection to its cellular network but can still make emergency calls. Other AT&T customers in Oklahoma have also reported problems. '@ATT my phone keeps flashing between SOS and service. Like every 20 seconds. Everything okay?' one user shared on X. AT&T has not acknowledged the issues on its social media sites, but its Help account on X is responding to frustrated users. Users have reported that customer support wait times have been over three hours, leaving them unable to get answers about the outage.

Report: Amazon loses one of its top AI bosses
Amazon has lost one of its top AI bosses in a major blow to Jeff Bezos. Vasi Philomi - who until recently helped to oversee generative artificial intelligence development at Amazon Web Services - has left after eight years, Reuters reported. Philomin helped lead generative AI efforts and product strategy, and oversaw foundation models known as Amazon Titan. Rajesh Sheth, a vice president previously overseeing Amazon Elastic Block Store, had assumed some of Philomin's responsibilities, Amazon told Reuters. In his biography, Philomin said he helped create and lead Amazon Bedrock, a hub for using multiple AI models and one of AWS's premier products in its battle for AI supremacy. Amazon is working to bolster its reputation in AI development, after rivals like OpenAI, and Google have taken an early lead, particularly with consumer-focused models. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman complained that Zuckerberg was attempting to poach his top talent with huge salaries as Meta also scrambles to catch up. Amazon has invested $8 billion in AI startup Anthropic and integrated its Claude software into its own products including a new revamped version of voice assistant Alexa that it's rolling out to customers this year. In December, Amazon introduced its Nova AI models which provide for text, video and image generation. Earlier this year, it added to the lineup with a version called Sonic that can more readily produce natural-sounding speech. Companies are employing creative techniques to hire top AI talent, including using sports industry data analysis to help identify undiscovered talent, Reuters reported last month. However, as Amazon races to produce more advanced AI, it said it expects its own success will lead to fewer corporate jobs, according to a memo from CEO Andy Jassy last week. Job growth limits will be driven in particular by so-called Agentic AI, which can perform tasks with minimal or even no additional input from people.
