OpenAI has temporarily pulled Sky, one of ChatGPT’s voices, after Scarlett Johansson said it sounded like her. The case puts consent and vocal identity at the heart of the race to build AI assistants.
OpenAI has dissolved the team created to research how to control a future superintelligence. The decision comes as its two leaders, Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, leave the company, with Leike questioning OpenAI's safety priorities.
Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI cofounder and chief scientist, is leaving the company after nearly 10 years. His departure closes a chapter shaped by his work on large models and the leadership crisis that briefly ousted Sam Altman in November.

Snowflake released Arctic on April 24, 2024 under Apache 2.0: 480 billion total parameters and 17 billion active per token. Its MoE architecture reduces computation, but enterprise SQL evaluation still requires scrutiny of memory, schemas, permissions and semantic accuracy.
Microsoft has launched Phi-3-mini, a 3.8-billion-parameter language model designed to perform like much larger systems. Its compact size makes it easier to run generative AI on phones, computers and lower-cost applications.
Microsoft Research presented VASA-1 on April 16, 2024: from one image and a voice recording, it generates a talking face with gaze, expression and head motion. The work shows how to read a generative demo without confusing realism, speed, generalization and availability.
The AI Pin went on general sale in the US on April 11, 2024 for $699 plus $24 a month. Early tests show why a screenless assistant must be judged by latency, verification and error recovery, not its feature list.
Intel has unveiled Gaudi 3, its new accelerator for training and running AI models. The company promises higher performance at a far lower cost than systems built around Nvidia’s H100.
On 9 April 2024, Google Cloud said it would offer Blackwell systems in early 2025. The date separates announcement, manufacturing, sampling, qualification, preview and general availability: “coming to the cloud” does not mean “rentable now.”
OpenAI announced Sam Altman's return to its board on 8 March 2024 after WilmerHale's review. The company published a summary, not the full report—an essential distinction when assessing scope, independence and conclusions.
Databricks introduces DBRX, an open mixture-of-experts model with 132 billion total parameters. It activates 36 billion per query, raising the bar for enterprise open models.
