Major backers like Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple are set to participate, pushing the company's valuation to an astonishing $150 billion—up from $86 billion in its previous round.
Existing investor Thrive Capital is expected to contribute $1.25 billion, while Sequoia Capital will sit this one out to focus on other ventures.

Notably, these Apple Intelligence features are exclusive to last year's iPhone 15 Pro models, the soon-to-be-released iPhone 16, as well as iPads and Macs powered by M1 chips or newer. Interested users must register on Apple’s beta software program site to access these updates.
3. Microsoft Revives Three Mile Nuclear Island ☢️
Microsoft is making headlines by signing a deal to bring back the notorious Three Mile Island nuclear plant, planning to source 837 megawatts of energy for its AI data centers by 2028. With a groundbreaking 20-year power purchase agreement, this initiative highlights Microsoft's commitment to clean energy, even as its greenhouse gas emissions rise due to its AI focus.
Constellation, the plant's owner, will invest $1.6 billion in the revival, pending regulatory approval.
4. OpenAI’s Sam Altman Shares Updates on AI Model ‘Strawberry’ 🍓
OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman recently shared exciting insights about their new AI model, codenamed "Strawberry," indicating it is still in development but poised to transform technology interaction. Speaking at a T-Mobile event, Altman likened its progress to the evolution from GPT-2 to GPT-4, forecasting significant advancements in planning and problem-solving capabilities.
He also emphasized that while the model shows great potential, it remains imperfect and carries safety concerns, suggesting that expectations should be moderated for the time being
5. LinkedIn Suspends UK User Data AI Training Amid Regulatory Concerns 👀
LinkedIn has paused its use of UK user data for training artificial intelligence models following concerns raised by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The ICO expressed satisfaction with this decision, emphasizing the importance of protecting privacy rights as tech companies seek user-generated content for AI development.
This move aligns with a broader trend, as other platforms like Meta also face regulatory challenges regarding data usage.
6. Apple Faces EU Pressure with New Digital Regulations 🇪🇺
Apple is under scrutiny from the EU as regulators push for a more open ecosystem amid new digital antitrust rules. The European Commission has initiated two formal proceedings to ensure Apple adheres to the Digital Markets Act, which could result in substantial fines if compliance is not achieved.
Despite recent attempts to modify App Store policies, these changes are considered minimal, with Apple cautioning that deeper adjustments may jeopardize user privacy.
Google NotebookLM vs. Gemini: Which Reigns Supreme?
Google just made some updates to its NotebookLM and it got us thinking…
Is NotebookLM BETTER than Gemini?
We’re putting each to the test to find out which is king.
Check out today's AI in 5.
🦾How You Can Leverage:
Who wins?
The agile and smaller companies using AI or the Goliaths still sitting on the AI fence?
Those innovating and using AI will always win out against those won don’t, even if they’re the big dogs.
And that's not some tech bro's hot take. It's a stark warning from Kumar, the President of GHD Digital, a global leader in digital transformation.
And he's got the receipts to back it up.
In just 18 months, Kumar's said he’s watched Generative AI morph from a novelty into a industry-shaking force. It's not just changing how we work – it's redefining who'll still have a job when the dust settles.
And who may be the new Goliath.
Think that's an exaggeration?
Let's break down Kumar's AI wake-up call and go over the 3 insights you NEED to know. 👇
1 – AI speaks 'bureaucrat' fluently️ 🗨️
Remember the last time you slogged through a mountain of regulatory documents?
Super run, right?
Nah.
Kumar said AI doesn't just make that easier – it makes it lucrative.
Kumar's team unleashed AI on a client's regulatory compliance nightmare. The result? A system that maps operational limits to regulatory requirements in real-time, hooked up to IoT devices for constant monitoring.
The punchline? $3 million saved. Per year.
Cha-ching.
This isn't just avoiding fines. It's turning mind-numbing compliance into a profit center.
How’s that for ROI on AI?
Try This:
Grab your most recent compliance report.
Now, imagine AI continuously updating it, flagging issues before they become problems.
Start small – even a basic AI-powered dashboard could be your first step towards turning regulations from a headache into a competitive edge.
We showed you how to make basic AI-powered dashboards here, and all you need is simple language commands.
(No fancy coding needed.)
2 – Build your team’s AI Library 📚
Truth be told…..your competitors might already be miles ahead of you here.
Don’t worry, though. You can just steal GHD’s strategy.
Kumar said they've created an "AI Library" that cross-references complex road design documents with 95% accuracy. What used to take months now happens in minutes. But here's the kicker: it's not just about speed. It's about freeing up your best minds to tackle problems AI can't solve.
The message is clear: if you're not building your AI toolkit, you're falling behind.
Try This:
Follow Kumar’s advice and get your team’s own version of AI Library in place.
Pick your most document-heavy process. Now, envision it automated. What would an "AI Library" for your team look like? Get specific. Get creative. Just start building.
We’ve got some team-friendly guides to help you.
Create Projects in Claude to save time on repetitive tasks.
Start your next research project in Perplexity to leap hours ahead.
Bring data of all kinds into NotebookLM and find answers quickly.
3 – No silver medal in the AI arms race 🥈
What you don’t know can’t hurt you, right?
Nooooot exactly.
Kumar minced zero words in calling out business leaders who are still sitting on the AI fence.
He “said that Ignorance is bliss. Do you want to be in that blissful state, or do you want to come out of it?"
In other words, the AI revolution doesn't care if you're ready.
His advice?
Stop theorizing.
Start doing. Now.
Because while you're debating the finer points of AI ethics, the "nimble and agile" players are rewriting the rules of your industry.
Try This:
Kumar's got a $20 challenge for you.
(That's the monthly cost of ChatGPT.)
His bet?
Once you start playing with it, you'll see the "transformative power" that's got him predicting an industry shake-up.
Set a daily "5-minute AI challenge" for your team: Use ChatGPT to tackle a real work problem, then share the results. You'll build AI literacy and might just stumble on your next breakthrough.
Don’t worry…. we gave your thousands of hours of experience into one all-encompassing ChatGPT show here.
Remember, in Kumar's world, there are two types of companies: those embracing AI, and those about to be embraced by obsolescence.
Which one are you?
