Amazon Working to Build Its Own AI Reasoning Model
Amazon is launching an advanced AI model with enhanced reasoning, under its Nova brand, by June, aiming to compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the AI reasoning space.
Details:
Amazon’s "hybrid reasoning" combines quick answers with complex chain-of-thought processing, similar to Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet
The company focuses on cost efficiency, aiming to make its reasoning model at least 75% cheaper than competitors on its Bedrock platform
Amazon’s AGI team, led by Rohit Prasad, is targeting top-5 performance on external benchmarks for software development and math skills, including SWE, Berkeley Function Calling, and AIME
Amazon's $8 billion investment in Anthropic creates a dual role as both partner and competitor, reflecting its strategy of offering diverse models on Bedrock while building its own AI capabilities.

Elon Musk Fails to Stop OpenAI From Pursuing For-Profit Status
Elon Musk has lost his legal attempt to prevent OpenAI from restructuring while his lawsuit against the AI company proceeds, adding to a series of setbacks in his battle with the ChatGPT maker.
Details:
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied Musk's injunction request, stating he failed to meet the burden of proof for extraordinary relief, but will allow an expedited trial on potential legal violations
It follows OpenAI's rejection of Musk’s $97.4 billion takeover bid, with CEO Sam Altman saying it was aimed at slowing the company’s progress
Musk’s lawsuit claims OpenAI betrayed its nonprofit roots by accepting Microsoft’s investment, while the company continues drawing major backers, including potential billions from SoftBank, which could value it at $300 billion
As the legal battle continues, OpenAI pushes ahead with its shift to for-profit, despite Musk’s claims it breaks promises from its 2015 founding.

OpenAI Unveils $50M Grant Program Supporting Academic Research
OpenAI has launched a $50 million grant program through its NextGenAI consortium, connecting leading universities with resources to advance AI research.
Details:
OpenAI is partnering with 15 institutions, including Harvard, MIT, and Oxford, to distribute $50 million in grants, computing resources, and API usage to students, educators, and researchers
The initiative aims to support scientists, scholars, and students in AI research, with plans to expand based on initial results
This move follows concerns over reduced AI funding in the U.S. after the Trump administration dismissed several AI experts from the National Science Foundation
NextGenAI is a major investment in academic AI, building on OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu. Some view it as a strategic move to introduce academic communities to OpenAI’s tools over competitors and open-source alternatives.
