This Week in Enterprise
OpenAI’s talent exodus: Sam Altman says everything’s fine and superintelligence is on the way!
This week brought yet another big shakeup at OpenAI, as Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and others quit.
But CEO Sam Altman seems to be cementing his control. And Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said in a memo that OpenAI’s oversubscribed (no, really?) funding at a $150 billion valuation is set to close next week. Still, it sure looks like Altman’s got a mess to clean up.
Oh, and by the way, Altman says AI superintelligence is not far away and everything will pretty much be fine. Just a little matter of those big new AI models that are still self-assuredly wrong far too often.
NetApp is aiming to become a prime data management platform for AI, but it’s far from alone in that ambition. Still, AI is a money spigot for a lot of enterprise companies, so why not go for it? Just ask Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra.
Meantime, the leaders in generative AI continue to command big fundings and valuations, the latest being Anthropic with its reported $40 billion valuation. Google also added more AI capabilities as it appears to gather customer momentum. But open-source AI models are getting better and better, and this week brought a new one from the Allen Institute for AI and more new Llama models from Meta.
Meta debuted a new $300 Meta Quest headset that looks quite capable and would seem to be the consumer choice for VR, and also announced it’s close to AR glasses that look pretty darn slick. It may turn out that they’re coming just as AI makes them useful to the masses, so CEO Mark Zuckerberg potentially could have the last laugh on his notoriously money-losing bet on mixed reality.
On the legal and regulatory front, Google filed an antitrust complaint against Microsoft in the EU over software licensing. Some things never change. Supermicro also got some unwanted attention from the Justice Department, perhaps over accounting issues, and its stock dropped 12% Thursday on the news.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is busy these days. Apollo may make a $5 billion investment in the struggling chipmaker, which may not sound like much, but it needs all the help it can get. And it’s reportedly set to get more from the U.S. government.
Smartsheet is going private in an $8.4 billion deal, and you can bet it won’t be the last software-as-a-service provider going that route. The delayed impact of the end of zero interest rates could send a lot more SaaS companies scurrying for cover.
