OpenAI and Microsoft kill the exclusive deal
The most important partnership in AI just got less important. OpenAI and Microsoft jointly announced an amended agreement on April 27 that removes the exclusivity at the core of their relationship. Microsoft’s license to OpenAI IP is now non-exclusive. OpenAI can serve its products on any cloud provider, not just Azure. The change takes immediate effect. This is not a breakup. Microsoft stays OpenAI’s primary cloud partner. OpenAI products still ship first on Azure. Microsoft keeps its IP licens

Itron, the Liberty Lake, WA-based company that provides smart utility meters to over 110 million homes and businesses across 100+ countries, disclosed a cyberattack in an SEC filing late Friday. The breach was first detected on April 13, 2026, when the company was notified that an unauthorized third party had gained access to portions of its corporate network. The company says it immediately activated its cybersecurity response plan, expelled the intruders, and has seen no signs of continued una

DeepSeek dropped V4 Preview on Friday. Two models, both open-weight, MIT license, weights on Hugging Face the same day. This is the update that was supposed to land in January and got delayed three times. The wait was worth it. The two models: V4-Pro has 1.6 trillion total parameters with 49 billion active per token. V4-Flash sits at 284 billion total, 13 billion active. Both use Mixture-of-Experts, both have a 1 million token context window with 384K max output. Both text-only. No audio, no vid

Google is committing up to $40 billion to Anthropic in a deal that reshapes the AI investment landscape. $10 billion lands immediately at a $350 billion valuation. Another $30 billion sits behind performance milestones. This comes days after Amazon dropped an extra $5 billion into the same company, with room for more. Both deals value Anthropic identically. The message is clear: hyperscalers are tripping over each other to anchor the next great AI lab. The compute picture Google Cloud is pledgin

OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on Thursday. Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president and co-founder, called it the company’s “smartest and most intuitive” model yet. He also framed it as another step toward something the company has talked about for months: an AI super app. What changed GPT-5.5 is faster and cheaper per token than its predecessor 5.4. Brockman described it as “a faster, sharper thinker for fewer tokens.” The efficiency gains matter because they push frontier AI capabilities down into price ti

Ten countries issued a joint advisory on Wednesday warning that China-linked hacking groups have fundamentally changed their infrastructure strategy. Instead of individually procured servers, the majority now rely on massive botnets of compromised consumer devices. The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), along with agencies from the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, and Sweden, published the advisory on April 23, 2026. The shift to co
