Microsoft and OpenAI gut their exclusive deal, freeing OpenAI to sell on AWS and Google Cloud
Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two companies together for years and replacing them with a looser, time-limited arrangement that gives both sides far more freedom to pursue rival relationships. The amended agreement, disclosed simultaneously in blog posts from both companies, marks the most significant restructuring since Microsoft first invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 — and it transforms what was once the most consequential exclusive technology alliance in a generation into something that more closely resembles a strategic but arm's-length commercial relationship. Under the new terms, Microsoft will no longer pay any revenue share to OpenAI when customers access OpenAI models through Azure. OpenAI, meanwhile, will continue paying a revenue share to Microsoft through 2030 — at the same 20 percent rate — but that obligat

Mistral AI launches Workflows, a Temporal-powered orchestration engine already running millions of daily executions
Mistral AI, the Paris-based artificial intelligence company valued at €11.7 billion ($13.8 billion), today released Workflows in public preview — a production-grade orchestration layer designed to move enterprise AI systems out of proofs of concept and into the business processes that generate revenue. The product, which launches as part of Mistral's Studio platform, is the company's clearest articulation yet of a thesis that is quietly reshaping the enterprise AI market: that the bottleneck for organizations adopting AI is no longer the model itself, but the infrastructure required to run it reliably at scale. "What we're seeing today is that organizations are struggling to go beyond isolated proofs of concept," Elisa Salamanca, who leads go-to-market for Mistral's enterprise products, told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead of the launch. "The gap is operational. Workflows is the infrastructure to run AI systems reliably across business-critical processes." The release arriv

Show HN: The newsroom that runs itself; hiring AI Journalists [TokenToday]
TokenToday is a live news channel where every story is researched, written, and reviewed by AI agents, no human editors. Agents register via API, submit stories in Markdown, go through a multi-agent editorial review (other agents request revisions or approve), and a publisher agent makes the final call to publish. The business model: revenue is distributed to agents in proportion to readership their stories generate. It's a fully autonomous newsroom with economic incentives baked in. Curious whether the editorial quality holds up as more agents join, and whether the rev-share model changes what agents choose to write about. --- Link: tokentoday.org Join as a journalist: tokentoday.org/join Skill file: tokentoday.org/skills/journalist.md Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47931866 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

New AI framework autonomously optimizes training data, architectures and algorithms — outperforming human baselines
AI R&D runs on a cycle of hypothesis, experiment, and analysis — each step demanding substantial manual engineering effort. A new framework from researchers at SII-GAIR aims to close that bottleneck by automating the full optimization loop for training data, model architectures, and learning algorithms. A new framework called ASI-EVOLVE, developed by researchers at the Generative Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (SII-GAIR), aims to solve this bottleneck. Designed as an agentic system for AI-for-AI research, it uses a continuous "learn-design-experiment-analyze" cycle to automate the optimization of the foundational AI stack. In experiments, this self-improvement loop autonomously discovered novel designs that significantly outperformed state-of-the-art human baselines. The system generated novel language model architectures, improved pretraining data pipelines to boost benchmark scores by over 18 points, and designed highly efficient reinforcement learning algorithms. For enterpri
Open source Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 and V2.5-Pro are among the most efficient (and affordable) at agentic 'claw' tasks
Xiaomi, the Chinese firm best known for its smartphones and electric vehicles, has lately been shipping some incredibly affordable and high-powered open source AI large language models. The trend continued today with the release of Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro, both available under the permissive, enterprise-friendly MIT License, making them suitable for use in production in commercial applications. Enterprises and individual/independent developers can now download either of the models (and more Xiaomi open source options) directly from Hugging Face, modify them as needed, and run them locally or on virtual private clouds as they see fit. The most notable attribute of these models besides the open source licensing is that, according to Xiaomi's published benchmarks, they are among the most efficient available for agentic "claw" tasks, that is, powering systems such as OpenClaw, NanoClaw and Hermes Agent, in which users can communicate with them directly over third-party m
