Good morning ☀️, leader of the next generation.

Sometimes we give technology too much credit or too much blame.

The truth is, it’s a tool. How we use it is what matters.

Used with purpose, it helps us see more clearly, build faster, and express ourselves in new ways.

It’s not about chasing trends. It’s about creating something real.

Amazon explores $10B OpenAI investment in chip-focused circular deal

Amazon reportedly in talks to invest $10B in OpenAI as circular deals stay popular

Amazon is reportedly exploring a massive $10 billion investment in OpenAI, marking another significant circular deal in the artificial intelligence sector. The potential partnership would require OpenAI to utilize Amazon's proprietary AI chips, according to CNBC reports.

If finalized, this investment could push OpenAI's valuation beyond $500 billion, Bloomberg sources indicate. The discussions represent Amazon's strategic move to diversify its AI investments while strengthening its position in the competitive artificial intelligence landscape.

This potential deal comes as Amazon seeks to expand its AI portfolio beyond its current $8 billion partnership with Anthropic, OpenAI's direct competitor. The e-commerce and cloud computing giant recently launched the latest version of its Trainium chip series and announced development plans for future iterations, enhancing its Amazon Web Services cloud platform capabilities.

The timing aligns with OpenAI's recent corporate restructuring. The AI company completed its transition to a for-profit model just months ago, providing greater flexibility to pursue investment opportunities beyond Microsoft, which holds a 27% stake as one of OpenAI's original major backers.

This proposed Amazon-OpenAI partnership exemplifies the growing trend of circular deals dominating the AI industry. These arrangements typically involve established hardware manufacturers and cloud service providers investing in emerging AI companies, with the startups committing to use their investors' infrastructure, chips, and data centers for model training and operations.

OpenAI has become particularly active in such arrangements. In March, the company invested $350 million in CoreWeave, which subsequently used those funds to purchase Nvidia chips. These same chips now provide computational power to OpenAI, creating a revenue cycle that benefits both companies while increasing the value of OpenAI's CoreWeave stake.

The circular deal strategy continued expanding throughout the year. October saw OpenAI acquire a 10% stake in AMD while committing to use the chipmaker's AI graphics processing units. That same month, OpenAI signed a chip usage agreement with Broadcom, further diversifying its hardware partnerships.

November brought another significant development when OpenAI signed a substantial $38 billion cloud computing agreement with Amazon, setting the stage for the current investment discussions. This existing relationship demonstrates the companies' growing interdependence and mutual benefit from collaboration.

These circular arrangements serve multiple strategic purposes for all parties involved. Established tech giants like Amazon gain influence over promising AI startups while ensuring demand for their hardware and services. Meanwhile, AI companies secure necessary funding and guaranteed access to critical infrastructure required for developing and deploying large-scale artificial intelligence models.

For Amazon specifically, investing in OpenAI would complement its existing AI strategy while potentially reducing its reliance on any single AI partner. The company's diversified approach, investing in both OpenAI and Anthropic, positions it to benefit regardless of which AI company ultimately dominates the market.

The proposed deal also highlights the enormous capital requirements of modern AI development. Training and operating large language models demands substantial computational resources, making partnerships with cloud providers and chip manufacturers essential for AI companies' growth and sustainability.

Neither Amazon nor OpenAI has officially commented on the reported negotiations. However, if completed, this investment would represent one of the largest single investments in an AI company and could significantly reshape competitive dynamics in the artificial intelligence sector.

As the AI race intensifies, these circular deals are likely to become increasingly common, with major technology companies seeking to secure positions in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence ecosystem through strategic investments and partnerships.

Israeli startup enables long-distance underwater robot fleet communication

Skana Robotics helps fleets of underwater robots communicate with each other

Tel Aviv-based Skana Robotics has developed breakthrough underwater communication technology for autonomous submarine fleets. Their SeaSphere software uses AI algorithms to enable vessels to share data and coordinate missions across long distances without surfacing, eliminating exposure risks.

Founded in 2024, the startup uses mathematically-driven AI rather than modern language models for predictability. CEO Idan Levy says the system allows hundreds of unmanned vessels to communicate and adapt autonomously. Skana targets European governments amid rising maritime threats from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with commercial release planned for 2026.
