FACT OF THE DAY
The majority of the world's internet traffic actually passes through underwater cables—over 400 cables spanning nearly 750,000 miles across oceans. These fiber-optic cables are responsible for around 99% of international data transfer.
TOGETHER WITH SUPERHUMAN
Superhuman is the most productive email app ever made, designed to help customers fly though their inbox twice as fast.
They've taken it even further with Superhuman AI. Imagine an inbox that automatically summarizes emails, drafts replies in your voice and tone, and even schedules meetings for you.
Superhuman customers already save 4 hours every week. With Superhuman AI, they get an additional hour back to focus on what matters most.
OPENAI
🔌 OpenAI’s AI chip update
OpenAI is reportedly working with Broadcom and TSMC to develop its first in-house chip for handling large AI workloads, with production possibly starting in 2026.
Here's what you need to know:
It’s been months since work began on a custom chip, with a team of about 20 people, including former Google engineers who developed Tensor processors.
Microsoft Azure, OpenAI's key infrastructure partner, will deploy AMD chips in OpenAI's systems, helping diversify its hardware portfolio beyond Nvidia processors.
OpenAI initially considered building its own network of chip manufacturing facilities, known as "foundries," but paused the plan due to high costs and time demands.
OpenAI’s chip strategy unveiled:
Hybrid Approach: OpenAI combines internal efforts with external partnerships to address chip shortages and manage costs, mirroring strategies of Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft.
Partnerships: Working with Broadcom and TSMC to expand chip supply options in a market dominated by Nvidia.
Nvidia Relations: OpenAI remains cautious to avoid straining its relationship with Nvidia, especially as it seeks access to their next-gen Blackwell chips.
With the AI chip industry expected to grow to nearly $165 billion in revenues by 2030, the push for proprietary technology has become more competitive than ever.

GITHUB
🤹 GitHub Copilot goes multi-model
GitHub is expanding its Copilot Chat to support multiple code-completion models and is also launching Spark, a new AI tool to help anyone build web apps.
Here's what you need to know:
GitHub Copilot users can now switch between the multiple latest AI models, including Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5, Google Gemini 1.5 Pro, and OpenAI’s GPT-4, during a session to better meet their coding needs.
Spark, GitHub's new AI tool, allows users to build simple web apps with plain English prompts, offering instant live previews and enabling interactive adjustments through conversations with the bot.
Once the app is created, users can run it on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device and also share the app with others to let people remix and build on top of Spark apps.
Other notable new features include the ability for Copilot in VS Code to edit multiple files at once and a code review feature that gives feedback in 30 seconds.

I asked Grok and ChatGPT to guess the Wifi password.
ChatGPT solved it numerically, while Grok understood that you can break down the integral into 2 parts: the 1st is an integral of an odd function over [-a,a] (which is 0), and the 2nd is the area of a circle! 🤯
