President Trump unveiled the AI initiative on Tuesday alongside the executives of OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank.

In this edition of TC's AI newsletter, This Week in AI, we talk about OpenAI's new Stargate joint venture and what it means for AI rivals.

ByteDance released Doubao-1.5-pro, an upgrade to its flagship AI model, which it claims outperforms OpenAI's o1 in AIME.

On Monday, Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek launched a new, open-source large language model called DeepSeek R1. According to DeepSeek, R1 wins over other popular LLMs (large language models) such as OpenAI in several important benchmarks, and it's especially good with mathematical, coding, and reasoning tasks.

The new agreement “includes changes to the exclusivity on new capacity, moving to a model where Microsoft has a right of first refusal (ROFR),” Microsoft says. “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”

A plan to build a system of data centers for artificial intelligence has been revealed in a White House press conference, with Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison joining Donald Trump to announce The Stargate Project.

AI is exciting, powerful and controversial, and some critics doubt the tech delivers on its promise. But the next big wave of AI 'agents' may prove genuinely helpful.

An organization developing math benchmarks for AI didn't disclose that it had received funding from OpenAI until relatively recently.

OpenAI, Oracle, Softbank and MGX are investing a record amount in new AI infrastructure even as China's DeepSeek outperforms on cost.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that three leading companies would make a large investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
