OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, a custom LLM-optimized inference chip — the most concrete sign yet that OpenAI is moving beyond Nvidia for its own compute. Qualcomm acquired Modular for roughly $4B, ending speculation about one of the most-watched AI chip-software startups. The Verge documents Hollywood publicly bending to OpenAI — Netflix, A24, Focus, Warner Bros.' Clockwork all making deals. Corporate AI super PACs reportedly spent $27M on a single local New York election, marking the political-economy battle the Sanders $7T plan named. Anthropic shipped Claude Tag — an always-on AI teammate that learns your company through Slack. Oracle cut 21,000 jobs to fund its debt-driven AI investments. Midjourney's medical-AI ultrasound pivot from last week is now drawing skepticism over an apparent lack of clinical evidence.
