As the hype around stocks related to the data center starts to die down on Wall Street, CNBC’s Jim Cramer explained why he’s hopeful the artificial intelligence infrastructure theme still holds weight.”When it comes to AI infrastructure, Wall Street’s become very skeptical, and I don’t think that’s really changed,” Cramer said. “But looking at what we’ve seen so far this earnings season, I’m feeling much more sanguine about this story, especially if we get some more trade war…de-escalation from the White House and stocks stay as cheap as they are.”At the start of the year, investors grew concerned the AI…

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay Thursday highlighting how little researchers understand about the inner workings of the world’s leading AI models. To address that, Amodei set an ambitious goal for Anthropic to reliably detect most AI model problems by 2027. Amodei acknowledges the challenge ahead. In “The Urgency of Interpretability,” the CEO says Anthropic has made early breakthroughs in tracing how models arrive at their answers — but emphasizes that far more research is needed to decode these systems as they grow more powerful. “I am very concerned about deploying such systems without a better handle on interpretability,” Amodei wrote…

CNN  —  President Donald Trump slammed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday for his comments that Ukraine wouldn’t recognize Russian control of Crimea, calling the remarks “very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia.” “It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country,” he posted on Truth Social. Any move to recognize Russia’s control of Crimea would reverse a decade of US policy and could…

OpenAI is bringing a new “lightweight” version of its ChatGPT deep research tool, which scours the web to compile research reports on a topic, to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users, the company announced Thursday. The new lightweight deep research, which will also come to free ChatGPT users starting today, is powered by a version of OpenAI’s o4-mini model, OpenAI says. It’s not quite as capable as the “full” deep research, but OpenAI claims it’s cheaper to serve and thus enables the company to up usage limits. “Responses will typically be shorter while maintaining the depth and quality you’ve come…

Perplexity doesn’t just want to compete with Google, it apparently wants to be Google.  CEO Aravind Srinivas said this week on the TBPN podcast that one reason Perplexity is building its own browser is to collect data on everything users do outside of its own app. This so it can sell premium ads. “That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said. “Because some of the prompts that people do in these AIs is purely work-related. It’s not like…

Individuals, industry groups, and local governments submitted over 10,000 comments to the White House about its work-in-progress national AI policy, also known as the AI Action Plan. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) on Thursday published the text of the submissions in a PDF spanning 18,480 pages. The comments, which touch on topics ranging from copyright to the environmental harms of AI data centers, come as President Donald Trump and allies rejigger the U.S. government’s AI priorities. In January, President Trump repealed former President Joe Biden’s AI Executive Order, which had instructed the National Institute of…

A New York City private equity attorney was accused of drugging, restraining and beating six women — including savage attacks with shock collars and cattle prods intended for livestock — in a bombshell indictment filed in Manhattan on Thursday.  The charges were unveiled against Ryan Hemphill, 43, in Manhattan Supreme Court, where he was arraigned on a 116-count indictment including charges of predatory sexual assault, rape, bribery, unlawful possession of ammunition and a host of other offenses. He pleaded not guilty. At a press conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said investigators found surveillance cameras and memory cards at Hemphill’s…

For the first time in roughly five years, OpenAI is gearing up to release an AI system that’s truly “open,” meaning it’ll be available for download at no cost and not gated behind an API. TechCrunch reported on Wednesday that OpenAI is aiming for an early summer launch, and targeting performance superior to open models from Meta and DeepSeek. Beyond its benchmark performance, OpenAI may have a key feature up its sleeve — one that could make its open “reasoning” model highly competitive, TechCrunch has learned. Company leaders have been discussing plans to enable the open model to connect to…
