We then explore exclusive reporting from Aaron Holmes on Microsoft’s renegotiated revenue-sharing deal with OpenAI and how the tech giant has already doubled its $13 billion investment. Next, Rocket Drew provides updates on the Musk-OpenAI trial featuring testimony from Satya Nadella and Ilya Sutskever, followed by Replit’s Michele Catasta on the new "VibeBench" for AI coding models. We wrap with Stephanie Palazzolo discussing Thinking Machines’ high-profile research preview of real-time interaction models.
