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

Musk’s lawsuit challenges OpenAI’s evolution under Sam Altman. But during jury selection, several potential jurors voiced negative views of Musk himself.
Jury selection in Musk v. Altman: ‘People don’t like him’
On Monday, the courtroom battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman over alleged broken promises at OpenAI started, as usual, with jury selection. The only tricky part? A lot of the prospective jurors already have an opinion about Elon Musk, and it's not a good one. The Verge reporter Elizabeth Lopatto, who was there at the courthouse, quoted statements from some of the juror questionnaires: "Elon Musk is a greedy, racist, homophobic piece of garbage." "Elon Musk is a world-class jerk." "I very much dislike Tesla. As a woman of color, I am very aware of the damaging statements and actions Elon Musk has enacted and been a part of." M … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google is testing AI chatbot search for YouTube
Google is trying out an AI Mode-like search experience for YouTube. The company is now testing "a new way to search on YouTube that feels more like a conversation," with results pulling in things like longform videos, YouTube Shorts, and text about what you're searching for. The "experiment" is now available if you're a YouTube Premium subscriber in the US who is 18 or older. I turned it on for my account. Now, in the search bar, I see an "Ask YouTube" button, and clicking the search bar shows prompts to ask like "funny baby elephant playing clips," "summary of the rules of volleyball," and "short history of the Apollo 11 moon landing." If … Read the full story at The Verge.

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.

Skymizer Taiwan Inc. Unveils Breakthrough Architecture Enabling Ultra-Large LLM Inference on a Single Card
Source Article excerpt: With a single PCIe card — powered by six HTX301 chips and 384 GB of memory — enterprises can now run 700B-parameter model inference locally at just ~240W per card. The memory-bandwidth-intensive token generation that dominates real-world inference latency. Existing GPUs handle compute-dense prefill; HTX301 cards handle decode. Each silicon matched to its phase. This is a really interesting approach. It only lets the GPU handle the prefill stage, while everything else, including the model weights and decoding, runs entirely on this card. That way, you can run huge billion parameter models without needing to chase after graphics cards with massive VRAM. As for how the actual product will perform in real life, we'll have to wait until early June at Computex to find out. submitted by /u/lurenjia_3x [link] [comments]
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
