MAIN COURSE

Is Trump’s Stargate fake?🤖

On Tuesday, President Trump announced Stargate. $500B plan to build massive AI data centers across America with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank.

What happened?

Musk claimed on X that OpenAI and SoftBank are broke, saying “They don't actually have the money” and “SoftBank has well under $10B secured.”

Who's got the cash?

  • Microsoft: $80B pledged

  • SoftBank: $24.3B on hand

  • Oracle: $11B available

  • MGX: $100B commitments

How'd OpenAI react?

Sam Altman invited Musk to visit construction sites and suggested that the work's already started.

Why's Musk attacking the plan?

It’s unclear, but he has beef with Altman. He's suing OpenAI over abandoning its non-profit roots.

What's at stake?

This is America's biggest-ever AI infrastructure project. Could help develop cancer treatments.

What's next?

Partners say $100B is ready to deploy now, despite Musk's claims.

Writer RAG tool: build production-ready RAG apps in minutes

RAG in just a few lines of code? We’ve launched a predefined RAG tool on our developer platform, making it easy to bring your data into a Knowledge Graph and interact with it with AI. With a single API call, writer LLMs will intelligently call the RAG tool to chat with your data.

Integrated into Writer’s full-stack platform, it eliminates the need for complex vendor RAG setups, making it quick to build scalable, highly accurate AI workflows just by passing a graph ID of your data as a parameter to your RAG tool.

SIDE SALAD

10 research years < AI hack💊

What's promised?

The tech claims it will cut drug discovery from 10+ years to weeks/months. Trials start at the end of 2025.

Who's behind it?

Demis Hassabis, Nobel winner and CEO of Google DeepMind/Isomorphic Labs.

Who's involved?

DeepMind/Isomorphic Labs partnered with Eli Lilly and Novartis using AlphaFold 3 tech.

Why do I care?

It could revolutionize drug development speed, but early results are mixed.

What about AGI?

Hassabis says it’s still 5+ years away. It needs “big breakthroughs.”
