🏗️ Oracle reportedly delays OpenAI data centers to 2028
LINK
|
- Oracle has reportedly pushed back the delivery schedule for massive AI data centers built for OpenAI, shifting the timeline from 2027 to 2028 because of setbacks impacting the Stargate program.
- Sources attribute the setback to shortages of skilled labor and materials, but the overall project scope remains unchanged with plans for two million AI accelerators and 5 GW of power.
- Chief executive Clay Magouyurk says the company only accepts orders it can fulfill, citing a SuperCluster in Texas that is on track with over 96,000 Nvidia Grace Blackwell GB200 chips.

🌍 Runway unveils first "General World Model"
LINK
|
- Runway has introduced GWM-1, a new General World Model designed to simulate interactive environments in real time, alongside an upgraded Gen-4.5 that now features native audio generation and editing.
- This technology builds an internal representation of scenes to generate video frame by frame, shipping in three versions for creating explorable environments, speaking GWM Avatars, or synthetic training data for robots.
- The startup joins a crowded race against Google DeepMind and World Labs, as researchers view these systems as a critical evolution beyond conventional language models that lack understanding of the physical world.

📈 Cisco stock hits record high since 2000
LINK
|
- Cisco shares climbed past their dot-com bubble peak on Wednesday to reach $80.25, finally topping a split-adjusted record set on the exact day the networking giant briefly became the world's most valuable company.
- While many internet highflyers vanished after the market crash, the hardware maker survived by acquiring software companies including Webex and Splunk to expand well beyond its original business of selling switches and routers.
- Although Nvidia now dominates data centers with its AI chips, CEO Chuck Robbins claims Cisco is benefiting from the craze with $1.3 billion in recent quarterly AI infrastructure orders from large web companies.

🎧 Google Translate brings real-time translation to any headphones
LINK
|
- Google is rolling out a beta experience for the Translate app on Android that turns any pair of headphones into a real-time translation device while keeping the speaker’s tone intact.
- Google says Gemini will help the Translate app handle nuanced phrases like slang and idioms, enabling smarter and accurate text translations based on context instead of a literal word-for-word translation.
- The tech giant is also expanding its language learning tools to nearly 20 new countries and adding a feature that tracks your progress, making the experience feel much more like Duolingo.

🤖 OpenAI adds skills framework to ChatGPT and Codex CLI
LINK
|
- OpenAI is apparently adding a new skills framework to both ChatGPT and the Codex CLI, closely mirroring a modular system that competitor Anthropic introduced for its assistants back in October.
- User Elias Judin discovered directories named "pdfs" and "spreadsheets" holding "skill.md" files while testing a "5.2 pro" model, suggesting the company is organizing AI tools into app-like modules for specific tasks.
- The design lets a prompt call instructions for processing a complex subtask, meaning you can easily adapt the software by simply creating a single folder and a script.
