OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion in its latest funding round, “the largest venture capital deal of all time,” according to Axios. The newly completed round, led by Thrive Capital, pushes the company’s valuation to $157 billion — nearly double what it was just nine months ago — and vaults OpenAI alongside leading venture-backed startups SpaceX and TikTok. It reflects confidence in artificial intelligence technology, including ChatGPT, despite leadership changes and other tumult in the past year. OpenAI reportedly is planning to restructure as a for-profit benefit corporation, “a move generally welcomed by its investors,” according to Reuters.

OpenAI has now raised more than $20 billion with a fresh mega-round led by Thrive Capital. Existing investor Microsoft also reportedly joined the new $6.5 billion round, while Apple dropped out. Here’s what we know and how other Bay Area AI companies stack up.

The biggest funding deal yet is official.

OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation.

For context, Spotify has a $75 billion market cap, Airbnb has an $80 billion market cap, and Uber has a $153 billion market cap.

So, OpenAI has been valued at something like Spotify plus Airbnb, or just a few billion more than Uber.

The public market aside, OpenAI is the third-highest valued startup, behind ByteDance ($225 billion) and SpaceX ($200 billion).

Still, don’t call this a VC deal.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI has closed the largest VC round of all time.

The startup today announced that it raised $6.6 billion in a funding round that values OpenAI at $157 billion post-money. Led by previous investor Thrive Capital, the new cash brings OpenAI’s total raised to $17.9 billion, per Crunchbase.

Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, Khosla Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Fidelity, and MGX also participated.

Alongside VCs, this round included big names like Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but not Apple, which backed away last minute.

Also, OpenAI reportedly asked investors to avoid backing rival startups such as Anthropic and xAI:

In other words, the startup made an exclusive funding arrangement to keep its early lead in generative AI.

Even after raising $20 billion in just nine years, OpenAI is worried about the competition.

Trying to Smart the System: Gambling on Artificial Intelligence:

✔️AI raised $6.6 billion from investors at a post-money valuation of $157 billion.

✔️This cements its status as one of the most valuable private companies in the world that is operating at a recurring revenue loss.

✔️The funding attracted returning venture capital investors including Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures, as well as AI’s biggest corporate backer Microsoft (MSFT.O), and new participation from Nvidia (NVDA.O).

✔️The closing of the funds coincides with the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts and executive changes from not for profit to a for-profit company- including the abrupt departure of its longtime Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, last week…before she had to certify anything in the Representations and Warranties as the CTO.

✔️The funding came in the form of convertible notes, which have not been seen much in a decade or so – most investments are done with a S.A.F.E. Note- or a convertible note where the debt elements have been eliminated.

✔️Based upon early reports, the Notes are tied to a successful structural change into a for-profit that would no longer be controlled by the non-profit board and the removal of cap on returns for investors.

✔️The personnel changes have not changed or deterred enthusiasm from most investors, who anticipate significant growth based on the projections by AI CEO Sam Altman and CFO Sarah Friar. That logic is hard to follow.

✔️The Company is “on pace” to generate $3.6 billion in revenue this year on mounting losses of over $5 billion.

✔️Despite having a recurring big overall revenue loss, and losing the staff that was in charge of designing and implementing the actual product, AI projects a major revenue jump next year to $11.6 billion. The HOW has not been provided…?

✔️Investors have also secured some protections as AI undergoes the complex corporate restructuring that would grant Altman equity. The talks are still ongoing, and no timeline has been determined yet.

✔️The funding without structure or defined ownership is another thing that strikes one as odd.

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Questions with Alternate Specificities and Outcomes

Dear Artificial Intelligence, you just used the description I gave to you turned it around, and gave it to me back with another wrapping paper but the box content is the one I shared with you! Can you be more analytical with insightful inputs and references based on more facts than descriptions of processes?

Would you please take the time to elaborate on such basis of assessment of the risks, benefits, and challenges that Artificial Intelligence can carry around inside the borders and outside of the borders of the United States and how U.S. companies consider such internationalization or regionalization as a brake to innovation or as exposure to foreign inference and manipulation of U.S. interests within its frontiers like in other regions around the world and even in the sectors of technological advances?

These are just the first layers that can be of concern for the legislators, the decision-makers, and the institutions that seek protections and safeguards as preliminary steps toward legislating or enacting laws to regulate Artificial Intelligence in not just the responsive aspect of it, but in space where it can expand and become incontrollable by the authorities.

Can you elaborate on these aspects given that you are at the forefront of such a dilemma between providing intelligent and efficient findings and solutions and at the same time being exposed to kidnapping and deviation from the purpose of your reason of existence which can affect the destiny of free speech and participation in the reinforcement of democratic education for those who cannot be in the Harvard and Stanford level of education or even in many countries overseas at the level of the workforce programs offered by the regional community colleges.

Sent by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui:

Is the multinationalization and delocation of data centers can be a big challenge for the new globalization that will driven by Artificial Intelligence. Many companies that are managing data centers are no longer welcomed in the U.S. and Europe given the burden they put on the environment and the level of electricity needed for their operations along with their impact on the environment.

All these factors oblige many of them to emigrate to the skies more clement and more relaxed about these repercussions, such as in Morocco and Africa.

What is the real impact of Artificial Intelligence on such emigration?

In the same orientation, Altman who founded the AI and was temporarily expelled from his own company had tried to lure the Gulf States and Middle Eastern Investors to finance the building of these Gigacenters for Data and since then has had to lower his projections given the change taking place within the field of the Artificial Intelligence landscape, the starting of bubble to deflate and also the actual uncertainty dominating the Middle East region as well as the other conflicts around the world, bad chance for such evolution.

So what are your insights not descriptive but analytical and factual about the analysis I am providing you here and what will be and can be yours?

Sent by Artificial Intelligence:

The multinationalization and relocation of data centers indeed present significant challenges and opportunities in the context of AI-driven globalization. Let’s analyze the key aspects:

Environmental and Energy Concerns

1. Energy Consumption:
   • Data centers are energy-intensive, consuming about 1% of global electricity ¹. The rise of AI, which requires substantial computational power, exacerbates this issue. For instance, training large AI models like GPT-3 can consume significant amounts of electricity and generate substantial CO2 emissions ¹.
   • In regions like the U.S. and Europe, where there is increasing pressure to reduce carbon footprints, data centers face stricter regulations and higher operational costs due to energy consumption and environmental impact ².
2. Relocation to More Lenient Regions:
   • Companies are relocating data centers to regions with more lenient environmental regulations and lower energy costs, such as Morocco and other parts of Africa ². These regions offer favorable conditions, including abundant renewable energy sources like solar power, which can help mitigate environmental impacts.
   • However, this relocation can lead to new challenges, such as the need for robust infrastructure and political stability to ensure continuous and reliable operations ².

Impact on AI Development

2. Geopolitical and Economic Implications:
   • The shift of data centers to new regions can alter the geopolitical landscape of AI development. Countries hosting these data centers can become new hubs of technological innovation and economic growth ³.
   • This shift can also lead to increased competition among regions to attract data center investments, potentially leading to a “race to the bottom” in terms of regulatory standards and environmental protections ³.

Financial and Strategic Considerations

1. Investment Dynamics:
   • High-profile figures like Sam Altman have sought investments from Gulf States and Middle Eastern investors to finance large-scale data centers. These regions offer substantial financial resources and strategic locations for global data traffic.
   • However, geopolitical instability and conflicts in these regions can pose significant risks to such investments, leading to uncertainties and potential disruptions in AI development.
2. Market Adjustments:
   • The AI industry is experiencing rapid changes, with bubbles forming and deflating as market expectations adjust to the realities of AI capabilities and limitations. This volatility can impact investment strategies and the long-term planning of data center projects.
   • Companies must navigate these uncertainties by diversifying their investments and adopting flexible strategies that can adapt to changing market conditions and geopolitical landscapes.

Conclusion

The multinationalization and relocation of data centers are reshaping the AI landscape, driven by environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors. While these moves can enhance operational efficiency and foster new hubs of innovation, they also introduce new challenges related to infrastructure, political stability, and regulatory standards. Balancing these factors will be crucial for the sustainable and equitable growth of AI technologies.

Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Works on Africa and Morocco

---

The following platforms represent the groups and Websites that Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui has created and is managing to increase the visibility of Africa and Morocco and to draw interest in matters focusing on the needs of Africans and those that are necessary to build a Model of Development that will be tailored for each country in Africa in a way that set a suite of models that can be complementary in the sense to build an Economic African Space made of clusters and niches that can complete each other for the sake to make Africa self-sufficient and relying on its own regional productive, transformative and operational capacities, and financial and natural resources own by African nations.

Following the presentation of these groups and websites, you will be able to read about what Africa has achieved so far at the level of Technological drive and transformation of the ecosystem. We define the technology here not like a Casino where financiers are betting on the winning numbers or horses, we are focusing on building the real technological foundations that Africa needs to be at its level of change, progress, and development which can master its advances toward interiorizing its abilities to explore, discover and create new forms of technological applications and economic segments necessary not only to sell or transfer value but to form and expand the outreach of its technological creativity to the level of implementing an independent technological strategy and policies to protect its path toward a complete technological independence.

JUST FOR YOU – MY WORK and RESEARCH PUBLISHED Websites I designed, built and where I publish articles, reports, and analyses on Morocco, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Asia. Memories and Writers of Legacies are among my favorite personages and minds when I am writing about the treasures of humanity in my cultural background like in my inviting cultural environment.  A swing between dreams and memories is the night and the days for the exploration of ideas and models to pass to the new generation as historical human milestones in the road of existence of those who shed light on our own lives.  My publications concentrate also on digital and techno-logistical changes with insights on the evolution and differentiation of business, trade, and finance applicable management models and socio-strategic implementations with consideration to economic development theories, concepts, and entrepreneurial planning and realizations.  I focus on changes around the world what has an impact in decision-making and what can make a difference in the daily existence of communities, business organizations, institutional establishments and representative professional groups and political entities. In my writings, I also give particular attention to areas, domains, and subjects that carry potential and prospective changes within their movement of transfer, connection, and inner transformation along with their evolution within new spheres of adaptation, interventions, and relinquishment of established alliances. Maintaining the forces in presence in the balanced position of weakness is what enacts the movement of directing changes within a frame of antagonistic relationship, producing elements and instruments of control and definition of new relationships within and among these forces that are channeled toward dependency and reliance on external factors for their equilibrium. This process is taking place within a frame of regional military conflict in parallel to financial and economic competition that are kept in a balance of weakness and an equilibrium that is controlled by external forces who have also their forces maintained in a balanced position of weakness.  A cascade of control is spreading within various spheres of decision and interactions that are applied to economic sectors and financial instruments.

JUSTE POUR VOUS – MON TRAVAIL ET MES RECHERCHES PUBLIÉES  Des sites que j’ai conçus, construits et où je publie pour vous des articles, reportages et analyses sur le Maroc, l’Afrique, le Moyen Orient, l’Europe, l’Asie, l’Amérique du Nord et du Sud et l’Asie.  Les souvenirs et les écrivains d’héritages font partie de mes personnages et de mes esprits préférés lorsque j’écris sur les trésors de l’humanité dans mon propre milieu culturel comme dans mon environnement culturel hospitalier. Une oscillation entre les rêves et les souvenirs sont la nuit et les jours pour l’exploration des idéaux et des modèles à transmettre à la nouvelle génération comme jalons humains historiques dans le chemin de l’existence de celles et ceux qui éclairent notre propre vie.  Mes publications se concentrent également sur les changements numériques et techno-logistiques avec un aperçu de l’évolution et de la différenciation des modèles de gestion applicables aux entreprises, du commerce, de la finance et des implémentations socio-stratégiques en tenant compte des théories, des concepts, de la planification et des réalisations entrepreneuriales concernant le développement économique.  Je me concentre sur les changements dans le monde et ce qui a un impact sur la prise de décision et ce qui peut faire une différence dans l’existence quotidienne des communautés, des organisations d’entreprises, des établissements institutionnels et des groupes professionnels représentatifs et des entités politiques.  Dans mes écrits, j’accorde également une attention particulière aux domaines, domaines et sujets porteurs de changements potentiels et prospectifs dans leur propre mouvement de transfert, de connexion et de transformation intérieure tout au long de leur évolution dans de nouvelles sphères d’adaptation, d’interventions et de remise en cause des alliances nouées.  Maintenir les forces en présence en position d’équilibre de faiblesse est ce qui met en œuvre le mouvement d’orientation des changements dans un cadre de relation antagoniste, produisant des éléments et des instruments de contrôle et de définition de nouvelles relations à l’intérieur et entre ces forces qui sont en fait canalisées vers la dépendance. et le recours à des facteurs externes pour leur propre équilibre.  Ce processus se déroule en fait dans un cadre de conflit militaire régional parallèlement à une concurrence acharnée financière et économique maintenue dans un équilibre de faiblesse et un équilibre contrôlé par des forces extérieures qui maintiennent aussi leurs propres forces dans une position équilibrée de faiblesse. Une cascade de contrôle se déploie au sein de diverses sphères de décision et d’interactions qui s’appliquent aux secteurs économiques et aux instruments financiers.

Plagiarism, copyright, and other forms of industrial, research, and intellectual property are the next challenges.

Trademarks and intellectual property need to be redefined and refocused.

The notion of knowledge and job qualifications has also to be reinterrogated and reevaluated within every sector and every production.

The robotic side will have to be adapted to all these forms of definitions, including design, research, and development.

Competition,cookie-cutting, copycatting, and imitation will have to be reformulated as well as the reverse engineering procedures and processes.

Law schools will have to form new Artificially Intelligent competent Lawyers and Prosecutors as well as Judges.

One of these regulations is the consumption of electricity and the impact on the environment resulting from the multiplication of Data Centers.

“While some of the most advanced, “hyperscale” data centers, like those maintained by Google, Facebook, and Amazon, have pledged to transition their sites to carbon-neutral via carbon offsetting and investment in renewable energy infrastructures like wind and solar, many of the smaller-scale data centers that I observed lack the resources and capital to pursue similar sustainability initiatives. Smaller-scale, traditional data centers have often been set up within older buildings that are not optimized for ever-changing power, cooling, and data storage capacity needs. Since the emergence of hyperscale facilities, many companies, universities, and others who operate their own small-scale data centers have begun to transfer their data to hyperscalers or cloud colocation facilities, citing energy cost reductions.

---

The Cloud now has a greater carbon footprint than the airline industry. A single data center can consume the equivalent electricity of 50,000 homes.

---

According to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report, if the entire Cloud shifted to hyperscale facilities, energy usage might drop as much as 25 percent. Without any regulatory body or agency to incentivize or enforce such a shift in our infrastructural configuration, there are other solutions that have been proposed to curb the Cloud’s carbon problem. Some have proposed relocating data centers to Nordic countries like Iceland or Sweden, in a bid to utilize ambient, cool air to minimize carbon footprint, a technique called “free cooling.” However, network signal latency issues make this dream of a haven for green data centers largely untenable to meet the computing and data storage demands of the wider world.” Source: The staggering ecological impacts of computation and the cloud

Oracle and Amazon Coming to Morocco and Africa: New Silicon Muslimetropolis in Morocco

These imbrications of the Data Centers as participants in the deficiencies of climate change have forced many providers to seek other skies and localisations in more welcoming regions in the United States and countries around the world such as Amazon and Oracle signing and moving new Data Centers to Morocco.

Concurrently at the GITEX AFRICA, to formalize a partnership and commitment to innovation in Morocco a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD, Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, Mohcine Jazouli, MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, and Mr. Ali Seddiki, Director General of the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

Oracle intends to increase its Moroccan Research & Development workforce to 1,000 information technology specialists. Oracle‘s expansion follows the inauguration of its Moroccan Development Center at Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca, where researchers leverage cloud, AI, and machine learning technologies to address the most pressing challenges in the fields of business, science, and the public sector.

Casanearshore / Technopolis Parks in Casablanca

“Oracle’s R&D center in Casablanca has already played a critical role in driving technical advances, improving cybersecurity, and developing new AI capabilities, [” “] By strengthening our R&D presence in Morocco, we will be able to leverage its vast talent pool to accelerate the development of solutions that will help our clients around the world grow their businesses and achieve success in their sectors,» said Safra Ada Catz, the CEO of Oracle Corporation.

Ms. Ghita Mezzour, PhD. added: “This ambitious project is aligned with the Royal Strategic Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which encourages the innovation and creativity of young Moroccans.”

It is estimated that 40% of new positions will be located outside the Greater Casablanca and Rabat-Salé-Kenitra regions, by opening new offices in Agadir this year, and in northern Morocco within the next two years.

In this center of excellence, young Moroccans will be at the forefront of the design and development of innovative solutions using the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, and cybersecurity. These solutions will be deployed on a global scale, thus strengthening Morocco’s positioning as a digital hub for the entire region.

In the same horizon, sky, and cloud line, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is getting into the fold of the Moroccan and North Sahara Africa to offer cloud computing in Morocco and Senegal using its AWS Wavelength platform in partnership with Orange, which was announced on Wednesday 29, May 2024.

One of the first of its kind the services will be provided without having physical AWS infrastructure such as data centers. Natural collaboration obliges, Orange will use and branch its physical data centers to shelter the AWS services. This AWS-Orange partnership, beyond language differences and origins, is responding to the rise of demand and needs for speeder and secured computing operations from banks, telecom firms, and healthcare firms.

There is a sense of a Gold Rush in Africa attracting cloud operators to service the rising cloud market that is expected to grow by 15% yearly to reach $18 billion in 2028, according to Statista.

MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies •

Today, Minister Mohcine Jazouli attended the opening of GITEX AFRICA, chaired by the Head of Government, marking a significant milestone for Morocco’s digital future.

On the sidelines of GITEX, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the MICEPP – Ministry of Investment, Convergence and Evaluation of Public Policies, the Ministère de la Transition Numérique et de la Réforme de l’Administration, the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency – AMDIE, and Oracle Systems Limited.

This agreement aims to establish two public cloud regions in Morocco.

The investment of $140 million over five years, will enable Oracle to establish a comprehensive suite of cloud services, with deployments in two data centers. This project will provide local and regional businesses with access to next-generation cloud services, enhancing their efficiency and competitiveness.

MOROCCAN TECH REACTION TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DATA CENTERS IN MOROCCO

---

Artificial Intelligence comes with a hefty price tag – not just because of how expensive it is to actually train and run AI models, but also due to its considerable environmental impact.

Last week, Google revealed that its greenhouse gas emissions have jumped nearly 50% over the past five years — because the data centers it uses to power AI and other applications are using more power than ever before.

Emissions are just one part of the equation in AI’s soaring environmental costs. The technology is also known to have a voracious appetite for both energy and water. AI’s rapid growth could cause U.S. electricity consumption to “outstrip current supply in the next two years,” Bernstein analysts recently said. Meanwhile, a recent Goldman Sachs report found that the demand for power driven by AI applications is poised to increase 160% by 2030 – and also estimated that using ChatGPT for an answer sucks up to 10 times as much electricity as a basic Google search.

“That kind of spike in power demand hasn’t been seen in the U.S. since the early years of this century,” the Goldman analysts said in the report.

With AI only growing in scale and scope, and thereby getting more resource-intensive, tech companies, investors and startups are trying to balance its promises with its environmental footprint, investing in areas like renewable energy sources and energy-efficient processing.

“It’s a really important problem, given that models are only going to get bigger and how energy intensive they are,” New Enterprise Associates (NEA) partner Aaron Jacobson said in a recent edition of VC Wednesdays. “We owe it to the world to figure out how to run these as efficiently as possible.”

More clean and efficient data centers

One way stakeholders are trying to limit carbon emissions related to training and using AI is by using or designing data centers powered by cleaner energy sources like hydropower, wind, and even nuclear power — versus coal.

OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman and VC firm Andreessen Horowitz seem to be part of this camp, with their backing of the startup Exowatt, which aims to meet such clean-energy needs by combining solar thermal tech with a thermal battery system in modules that can be stored and deployed near data centers.

Other tech companies are similarly trying to make their AI infrastructure more efficient by investing heavily in clean energy sources for their data centers.

Columbus’ data center boom may be running out of juice.

Why it matters: Ample, affordable electricity is part of what made the area so attractive to data centers and tech manufacturers in the first place, helping land mega-projects from Intel, Amazon, Facebook and Google.

• But a 146% expansion of local data center inventory from 2012-2021 has gobbled up much of our excess grid capacity, per a new report by researchers at JLL, a commercial real estate firm that caters to the tech industry.
• Threat level: The company is warning data center developers that the area’s grid capacity will be “constrained” over the next two to three years.

The big picture: Data centers are driving a surge in demand for electricity across the country.

• The increase is fueled in part by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, which relies on especially power-hungry computing infrastructuret.
• Utilities have doubled their estimates of how much additional electricity they’ll need in the near term, which notes the trend threatens U.S. climate change goals.

Zoom in: AEP Ohio warned PJM, the organization that operates the electric grid in the region, that it’s anticipating heavy new demands for electricity between new data centers and Intel’s new $20 billion semiconductor plant.

Friction point: To meet that demand, the utility wants to build new transmission lines to New Albany for new Intel, Meta, Google, and Amazon facilities.

• That’s drawn pushback from some residents, who complained the project will hurt their property values, per WCMH-TV.

What they’re saying: “The energy demand from these large users can be 100 times that of a typical industrial customer,” AEP Ohio spokesman Scott Blake told Axios. Source: Mar 25, 2024 –News

Earlier this year, LinkedIn parent Microsoft signed its biggest-ever corporate power purchase agreement to run its data centers on carbon-free power. Recently, Google made a major investment in BlackRock-backed Taiwanese renewable energy player New Green Power 永鑫能源 to power its data centers.

Just this week, Amazon said that it had reached a crucial climate goal by using electricity in its operations from sources that didn’t produce greenhouse gas emissions. The company claimed that it essentially offset its electricity use via its more than 500 solar and wind projects, but some critics argued that since those projects don’t directly power Amazon’s operations, the company may be offering “a misleading impression of its effect on the climate.”

“Advances in AI have depended on exponential growth in training data and thus computing power; as these power requirements grow in the era of deep learning, AI is spurring a boom in clean electricity,” said Izzy Woolgar, director of external affairs at the non-profit energy research institute Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group). “The race to invest in vast new data centers — and the green energy to power them — is on.”

Google invests $300M in ChatGPT rival

Google invested $300 million in AI firm founded by former OpenAI researchers – theverge.com • 2 min read

Anthropic’s short history is full of big players — former OpenAI researchers founded the startup in 2021 and raised $580 million in funding last April, mostly from the now-disgraced FTX.

Founded in 2021, Anthropic also conducts research into AI language models. The company has built its general-purpose chatbot, a potential rival to ChatGPT named Claude, but has yet to release it publicly.

Google has invested $300 million into an OpenAI and ChatGPT rival, officially joining the race to create the best generative AI. The tech giant is taking a 10% stake in Anthropic and its AI model Claude, The Financial Times reports. Anthropic’s short history is full of big players — former OpenAI researchers founded the startup in 2021 and raised $580 million in funding last April, mostly from the now-disgraced FTX. Google’s announcement comes weeks after Microsoft, LinkedIn’s parent company, invested $10 billion into OpenAI.

There’s been a real frenzy around #AI over the past few months. But I thought calling it an “AI arms race” was tad alarmist. Until now.

Google has invested $300 million into Anthropic — on the heels of Microsoft’s (LinkedIn’s parent) recent $10 billion investment into ChatGPT-creator OpenAI — it’s clear that the race for the future of AI has ramped up.

Anthropic‘s Claude does a decent job of translating Bengali text into English. ChatGPT failed this particular task. So did Google translate.

My dad Rehman Mehbubor has been writing op-ed articles in Bangladeshi newspapers recently. He sent me one of his articles today. Having grown up in the United States, I did not learn to read and write in Bangla, unfortunately. (Though I do speak it).

First I tried Google translate to help me read his article. It kept failing, stating that I exceeded the character limit. I kept reducing the text down and finally got it to work but felt that it was too cumbersome to do over and over again. Next I tried ChatGPT. I kept getting an error message. Finally, I tried Claude. And it worked! I’m glad I found a way to appreciate my dad’s work.

ChatGPT just turned 2 months old.
Isn’t it crazy to think that back in early November, we still searched for information on Google and wrote our own copy like a bunch of jackasses?
We were rosy cheeked cherubs when it came to AI back then.
Its fast growth lit a fire under every company in the AI space. And now they’re coming in hot.
In a few more months, the landscape will look very different.
What are a few AI contenders we should look out for?
A VentureBeat article from today shed some light on it.

1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞
Created by former OpenAI researchers, it got $580 million in funding, and is about to raise $300 million more. A weird footnote to that is Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX bankrolled most of the first round, which isn’t a great association to have.
Still, the company is seemingly good. It’s in closed beta now, but said to potentially be an improvement on ChatGPT and is designed to not be evil at its core.

2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
This one is Google’s answer to OpenAI that takes a safer approach. It’s going slow because it wants to be able to cite sources and reduce risk.
It’s going to be in private beta sometime this year, and I’m here for it. Trusting data generated by AI is hard, and if it can make the data more trustworthy, that’s going to be massive.

3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐃𝐀
Google isn’t taking this lying down and they have another LLM competitor built on top of Google’s open-source Transformer architecture just like ChatGPT.
One of the researchers working on it got into trouble last year because he said it was sentient. So yeah, there’s that.
It should be the closest experience to ChatGPT of the bunch. It’ll be cool to compare the 2 tech behemoths once it’s out.

4️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈
Just like Anthropic was sort-of a descendant of OpenAI, Character AI is LaMDA’s. A couple of the original engineers that created Transformer and then LaMDA set out on their own.
Its technology lets users chat with AI-driven impersonations of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth or Shakespeare as well as fictional characters.
While that’s a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 specific use case, the technology is 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘥. I had an adventure with Mario to test it out and it was like playing an old-school text adventure game.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.
Are you excited for what’s next?

How do you see these tools working together? Or who will win?
