1. OpenAI Launches Cheaper, Lightweight ChatGPT Deep Research Mode 💡

OpenAI has rolled out a more affordable "lightweight" version of its ChatGPT deep research tool, now available to free and paid users alike. Powered by the o4-mini model, this new option offers shorter, yet still rich and high-quality responses, making advanced AI research more accessible.

Free users get five monthly tasks, while paid tiers enjoy increased limits, easing the cost burden for both users and OpenAI itself.

2. Google’s AI Overviews Reaches 1.5B Monthly Users 📈️

Google’s AI-powered search features continue to expand rapidly, with AI Overviews now reaching over 1.5 billion users monthly in more than 100 countries, according to TechCrunch. The company recently introduced ads in these AI summaries and is testing an AI Mode for more interactive, chat-like searches, aiming to rival ChatGPT-style platforms.

Meanwhile, visual search tools like Google Lens have surged, with 5 billion new searches since October and a 10% increase in shopping activity.

3. Perplexity’s Comet Browser Aims to Rival Google with Data-Driven Ads ☄️

Perplexity’s CEO Aravind Srinivas revealed that the company is developing its own browser, Comet, to gather broad user data beyond its AI app, aiming to fuel premium, targeted advertising. Launch slated for May, this move echoes Google’s strategy of leveraging browser and OS data to build detailed user profiles for ad sales.

The timing is notable as Google faces DOJ scrutiny over its Chrome monopoly, with Perplexity and OpenAI expressing interest in acquiring Chrome if divestiture occurs.

4. Defense Department Doubles Down on AI Innovation for National Security 🇺🇸

Yesterday in Washington, senior Defense officials and industry experts gathered to spotlight how AI is reshaping military readiness and security strategies. Under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s directive, the Pentagon is accelerating AI adoption to boost operational efficiency, combat effectiveness, and safeguard sensitive data against espionage.

Officials emphasized practical AI deployment—from streamlining background checks to enhancing battlefield decision-making—while aligning with new federal policies that prioritize fast, secure AI integration.

5. Amazon and NVIDIA Say AI Data Centers Show No Signs of Slowing 🏭

Despite recession jitters and Wall Street whispers of tech companies hitting pause, Amazon and NVIDIA executives say AI data center construction is charging ahead full steam. Kevin Miller of Amazon Web Services dismissed rumors of slowdowns, pointing to rising demand that’s only expected to grow over the next few years.

NVIDIA’s Josh Parker echoed this optimism, noting increased compute and energy needs driven by AI advancements, even as some investors panic over energy efficiency claims from startups like DeepSeek. With experts like Anthropic’s Jack Clark forecasting a need for 50 gigawatts of new power by 2027—equivalent to 50 new nuclear plants.
