š OpenAI Pledges $50M to Fund AI Research at Top Universities (3 Min Read)
OpenAI is investing $50 million into NextGenAI, a new project to support AI research at schools like Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. The program will provide grants, free AI computing power, and API access to students, researchers, and teachers to help develop new AI breakthroughs. While OpenAI says this is about helping education, itās also a smart move to get more universities using OpenAIās tools instead of competitorsā AI models. This comes as U.S. government AI funding faces uncertainty, making OpenAIās investment even more impactful.
š Why This Matters: OpenAI is making sure top universities train the next generation of AI experts using its tools. This could shape the future of AI development while giving OpenAI an advantage over open-source alternatives.
š„ Sora Video Generation is Coming to ChatGPT (2 Min Read)
OpenAI is bringing Sora, its AI-powered video generator, directly into ChatGPT. Right now, Sora is only available through a web app, but soon, users will be able to create 20-second AI videos inside ChatGPT. However, this version may not have the same editing features as the full web app. OpenAI is also working on a Sora-powered image generator that could be even more realistic than DALL-E 3, along with a faster Sora Turbo model. By adding Sora to ChatGPT, OpenAI wants to make video creation as simple as typing a promptābut with competitors like Googleās Veo 2 catching up fast, will Soraās updates be enough?
š Why This Matters: AI-generated video is becoming more common, and OpenAI wants Sora to be the go-to tool. If it works smoothly, expect more creators and businesses to use AI for quick, professional-looking videos.
š° DeepSeek Reveals Shocking 545% Profit Margins (3 Min Read)

š Why This Matters: AI is expensive to run, and most startups are burning cash. DeepSeekās results show that smaller AI companies might not need billions in funding to be successfulāa big deal for the industry.
