🥊Tech Billionaire Elon Musk Clashes With OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Tech Billionaire Elon Musk claims “The Stargate Project” is an empty promise because “they don’t actually have the money.”

Key Details:
  • OpenAI recently announced “The Stargate Project,” a new company set to spend $500 billion over the next four years building AI infrastructure in America. It’s supported by Oracle, SoftBank Group Corp., and MGX.

  • Musk posted on X that SoftBank Group Corp. has well under $10 billion secured. “I have that on good authority.”

  • Altman quickly replied, “Wrong, as you surely know. Want to come visit the first site already underway? I realize what’s great for the country isn’t always what’s optimal for your companies, but in your new role, I hope you’ll mostly put America first.”

Why It’s Important:
  • If true, “The Stargate Project” will help create hundreds of thousands of American jobs and upgrade America’s aging power grid.

  • Musk has filed several lawsuits against OpenAI for transforming from an open-source, non-profit Research Lab into a closed-source, maximum-profit Company.

AI RESEARCH

⚙️Google DeepMind Helps LLMs Think Deeper

Google DeepMind introduced “Mind Evolution,” a technique that improves an LLM’s planning and reasoning abilities.

Key Details:
  • They explored how LLMs can be guided to think deeper by leveraging Test-Time Scaling, which allocates more compute during AI Inference: everything that happens after you enter your prompt.

  • Instead of relying on an LLM’s initial response, “Mind Evolution” uses it as a starting point to generate Candidate Responses through:

    1. Mutation: Introducing small changes like swapping words or adding and removing phrases.

    2. Crossover: Combining the best parts of different Candidate Responses.

  • The best Candidate Responses are selected to “survive” and contribute to the next generation of responses.

Why It’s Important:
  • “Mind Evolution” helps LLMs think deeper by using compute better during AI Inference.

  • This technique allows LLMs to engage in an iterative process that explores a wide range of responses, leading to more robust, creative, and effective outputs.

AI LEAKS

🛒OpenAI May Preview Operator on ChatGPT Pro Plan Soon

A series of new leaks suggest that OpenAI is planning to preview Operator, an AI Agent that autonomously writes code and books travel plans, on the ChatGPT Pro plan soon.

It all started with Tibor Blaho, a Lead Engineer at AIPRM Corp., who noticed ChatGPT’s macOS Desktop App contained shortcuts for “Toggle Operator” and “Force Quit Operator.”

Now, CHOI (i.e., @arrakis_ai) noticed two mentions of Operator in ChatGPT’s client-side code:

  1. Multiple references of the operator.chatgpt.com URL.

  2. A new popup that states, “Operator is currently only available to ChatGPT Pro plans as an early research preview.”
