Greece Strikes Deal with OpenAI to Bring AI into Classrooms and Small Businesses

/in /tarafından

Greece and OpenAI signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Friday aimed at expanding access to artificial intelligence in schools and boosting innovation for small businesses. The agreement makes Greece one of the first countries to deploy ChatGPT Edu, a specialized version of ChatGPT tailored for academic institutions.

According to OpenAI, the deal will give Greek secondary schools direct access to advanced AI tools, while startups in healthcare, climate change, education, and the public sector will receive credits and support to build projects with OpenAI’s technology.

The MoU was signed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Onassis Foundation President Anthony S. Papadimitriou, and OpenAI’s Chief Global Affairs Officer Chris Lehane. In his remarks, Lehane tied the initiative to Greece’s intellectual heritage: “From Plato’s Academy to Aristotle’s Lyceum—Greece is the historical birthplace of western education. Today, with millions of Greeks using ChatGPT, the country is once again showing its dedication to learning and ideas.”

The deal comes just weeks after OpenAI released GPT-5, its latest model, which is powering the next phase of ChatGPT’s global adoption across education, business, and cultural applications.

OpenAI to Debut First AI Chip in 2026 With Broadcom Partnership

/in /tarafından

OpenAI will launch its first in-house artificial intelligence chip in 2026 through a partnership with U.S. semiconductor leader Broadcom (AVGO.O), according to the Financial Times. The chip will be used internally to power OpenAI’s own AI systems rather than being sold to external customers, people familiar with the matter said.

The move reflects OpenAI’s push to diversify away from Nvidia, whose GPUs currently dominate AI computing, and to lower infrastructure costs amid surging demand for training and running large-scale AI models like ChatGPT. OpenAI has previously collaborated with Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) on design and fabrication, while also supplementing with AMD and Nvidia chips.

Reuters earlier reported that OpenAI was finalizing the design of its first custom silicon, to be manufactured at TSMC, with a focus on reducing reliance on outside suppliers. By developing its own chip, OpenAI joins rivals Google, Amazon, and Meta, which have already rolled out proprietary processors to handle escalating AI workloads.

The timing of the news coincides with Broadcom CEO Hock Tan’s announcement on Thursday that the company had secured over $10 billion in AI infrastructure orders from a new unnamed customer, set to drive significant revenue growth in fiscal 2026. Industry watchers say OpenAI could be that customer, given its scale and need for dedicated compute.

If successful, the partnership would not only help OpenAI gain greater control over its AI infrastructure but also cement Broadcom’s position as a leading custom silicon provider in the generative AI era.

Trump to Host Tech Leaders in First Rose Garden Event After Renovation

/in /tarafından

U.S. President Donald Trump will host more than two dozen technology and business leaders for a dinner in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden on Thursday, a White House official confirmed. The guest list includes Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

The event underscores Trump’s shifting relationship with Silicon Valley. Once marked by frequent clashes over issues like content moderation and antitrust, the dynamic has changed since his 2024 election victory. Tech executives have since sought closer ties with the administration, aligning with the rollback of diversity and equity initiatives while engaging Trump on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

White House spokesman Davis Ingle said, “The president looks forward to welcoming top business, political and tech leaders for this dinner and the many dinners to come on the new, beautiful Rose Garden patio.”

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was not on the invite list, though he said on his social media platform X that he “was invited, but unfortunately could not attend,” adding that a representative would be present. Musk previously split with Trump after serving as an adviser earlier this year.

The Rose Garden renovation, completed in August, replaced the iconic lawn with a stone patio and umbrella-covered tables inspired by Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The dinner follows a White House event on AI hosted by First Lady Melania Trump earlier in the day.

Other executives expected include Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Oracle CEO Safra Catz, Blue Origin CEO David Limp, Micron Technology CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, AMD CEO Lisa Su, Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, and Meta’s chief AI officer Alexandr Wang.
