Not for the first time, this week was all about the quickening battle for leadership in artificial intelligence, especially the generative variety. That was abundantly clear at Amazon Web Services Inc.’s annual re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, which SiliconANGLE and its livestreaming video studio theCUBE, as well as our newly constituted market research arm theCUBE ...

What else mattered this week besides OpenAI? Well, plenty, but nothing to match the drama as CEO Sam Altman first gets fired, then rehired within days as nearly the entirely company revolts against the erstwhile board, to great joy among the troops (pictured). There’s still mystery behind the precise reasons for the internal split, but ...

Updated with continuing uncertainty: The unprecedented drama at OpenAI continues today as 49% investor Microsoft Corp. put its big feet down and hired former Chief Executive Sam Altman and co-founder and former President Greg Brockman for a new artificial intelligence research group at Microsoft. The move comes as more than 500 of OpenAI’s 770-person staff ...

Microsoft is now the Copilot company, Chief Executive Satya Nadella declared this week at the company’s Ignite conference, not only spreading generative AI across its products but also announcing its first AI processor designs. The flurry of news at Ignite was just one sign of how much gen AI is getting infused into every enterprise ...

The battle of the generative artificial intelligence models grew even more fierce this week, with little sign of abating. We saw new OpenAI capabilities — which in turn suggest a whole new enterprise software market and even app stores — along with Elon Musk’s bold xAI, Kai-Fu Lee’s Chinese company 01.AI and Samsung’s edge-based Gauss, as ...

That was quick: It’s a wrap for Sam Bankman-Fried, whose jury took only about four hours to decide he’s guilty on all counts. Now, pending an appeal, the main question is how long he’ll be behind bars. SBF’s conviction was the capper for a busy week. Regulations finally came to artificial intelligence purveyors around the ...

For all the massive activity and excitement around generative artificial intelligence, you had to squint to see the impact on the earnings results of the big cloud and other tech companies this past week. At Supercloud 4, our two-day free editorial event, we looked at why that’s the case, and dug deep with a great ...

Generative artificial intelligence may be the next big thing, but it’s also the next big energy hog — and that’s a problem for all those data centers training and running AI models: It’s not clear how they’re going to withstand all the heat produced by increasingly large and power-hungry chips. That’s one trend we uncovered ...

It was difficult this week to focus on much more than the war in Israel, given the horrific attacks and deadly counteroffensive, but with a heavy heart, we plod ahead on reporting what’s happening in the enterprise. One of those developments is the rapid escalation of cyber warfare on both sides of the conflict, with ...

Generative artificial intelligence continued to dominate the news this week as Anthropic reportedly is raising an additional $2 billion from Google and others, and reports indicated that gen AI partners OpenAI and Microsoft are each looking to design their own AI chips during a severe shortage of graphics processing units from Nvidia. Meanwhile, U.K. antitrust authorities ...
