OpenAI is reportedly producing its own AI chips starting next year

OpenAI is gearing up to start the mass production of its own AI chips next year to be able to provide the massive computing power its users need and to lessen its reliance on NVIDIA, according to the Financial Times. The company reportedly designed the custom AI chip with US semiconductor maker Broadcom, whose CEO recently announced that it has a new client that put in a whopping $10 billion in orders. It didn't name the client, but the Times' sources confirmed that it was OpenAI, which apparent

The tiny iOS 26 update that made a big difference for me

Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Apple increased the size of its timer and alarm buttons on iOS 26. The update makes it easier to dismiss them. Not every software update needs to be flashy to be helpful. I'm waking up at the crack of dawn, after a shoddy night of sleep. My iPhone alarm and its ever-strong siren song blare as it shakes me from my slumber. At this point, I'll do anything to turn that wretched sound off as quickly

SQL Needed Structure

Published 2025-09-04 Here are two pages from the internet movie database: There are two things to note about these pages. The data on the page is presented in a hierarchichal structure. The movie page contains a director, a list of genres, a list of actors, and each actor in the list contains a list of characters they played in the movie. You can't sensibly fit all of this into a single flat structure like a relation. The order of the hierarchy isn't the same on both pages. On one page we hav

iPhone 17 Should Be Official Tuesday, but When Will It Ship? We're Tracking the Release

After Apple presumably unveils the iPhone 17 at next week's Awe-Dropping Apple event on Sept. 9, the familiar waiting game begins: a few days until preorders open, followed by what can feel like an endless slog before the new phones finally arrive. But when exactly? We don't know everything yet. Despite months of leaks, Apple still holds onto the key details, such as shipping dates, until the official announcement. Once the rumored iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max are actually revealed

Liquid Cooling Exhibits

Hot Chips doesn’t just consist of presentations on hardware architecture, although those are the core of what Hot Chips is about. The conference also features stands where various companies show off their developments, and that’s not restricted to chips. Some of those showed off interesting liquid cooling components, particularly in cold plate design. Water Jets Many of the waterblocks on display use microjets, rather than microfin arrays. Water flows through a manifold at the top of the block

iPhone 17 release date: Here’s when Apple’s new flagship will arrive

It’s been almost a year since Apple’s flagship iPhone 16 lineup debuted. That means the iPhone 17 release date is fast approaching. Here’s when to expect Apple’s new iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max to arrive in users’ hands.

The Apple iPhone 17 'Awe dropping' event happens next week: Here's what to expect on September 9

We're now less than week away from the Apple's September 9 event, where the company is all but certain to unveil the iPhone 17 line. This year's theme of "Awe dropping," which was featured in Apple's invitations to the media sent on August 26 doesn't reveal much by way of clues, though some think the heat-mapped Apple logo is indicative of better thermal cooling in the new models. But more importantly, we already know how to watch the Apple iPhone 17 event itself: The keynote will be livestreame

A Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon Are Coming This Weekend: How to Stream Them

Fresh on the heels of August's black moon is September's full moon this weekend, which will be among the most interesting full moons of 2025. It's coming with a total lunar eclipse, making it a blood moon. If you're in the US, you won't be able to see the upcoming lunar eclipse, but the moon should still appear redder than usual. The total lunar eclipse, which takes place on Sunday, will be visible primarily in Asia, Australia, Eastern Europe and Eastern Africa. Most of the rest of Europe and A

Who Owns ‘Telepathy’?

Elon Musk’s neural implant startup Neuralink has been trying to trademark two product names: Telepathy and Telekinesis. Musk has previously claimed that his company will be able to give people “superpowers,” so the desire to take ownership over these special abilities makes sense. Unfortunately for Neuralink, patent applications for Telepathy and Telekinesis have already been filed by a different business. Wired reports that a lucid dreaming startup (who knew there was such a thing?) called Pro

Stripe enlists a who’s who, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and Paradigm, to build a new blockchain

In Brief Stripe is funding a new blockchain company called Tempo, co-founder CEO Patrick Collison announced on Thursday. Tempo is aimed at high-volume processing of stablecoins — coins that help reduce crypto’s notorious volatility because they are pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar. That’s not surprising given that Stripe acquired stablecoin company Bridge. What is surprising is the eye-popping list of companies Stripe has already enlisted: Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDa

Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

WhenWhen armies invade, hurricanes form, or governments fall, a Wikipedia editor will typically update the relevant articles seconds after the news breaks. So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West. So it was unusual, according to one longtime editor who was watching the page, that on the afternoon of January 20th, 2025, hours after Elon Musk made a gesture resembling a Nazi salute at a rally following Pr

JetBlue will use Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites for free in-flight internet

In Brief Many major airlines are beefing up their in-flight internet offerings by tapping SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, but JetBlue is going in a different direction. Amazon and JetBlue announced Thursday a partnership under which the airline will instead use Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites to provide free in-flight connectivity starting in 2027. The Kuiper terminals on JetBlue’s planes will be capable of download speeds of up to 1Gbps from Amazon’s low-Earth orbit satellites. That’s more b

Hands-on: Kuxiu’s new X40 Turbo brings Qi2.2 fast 25W charging to your iPhone

Wireless charging and iPhones have had an interesting relationship. While Android phones had wireless charging extremely early, it took Apple years to adopt the regular Qi wireless charging with the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus back in 2017. Back then, it only charged at 7.5W, and it was not very efficient. Then Magsafe and the Qi2 standard recently came around and allowed iPhones to charge at 15W. But now we are getting Qi2.2, which is faster, cooler, and more efficient, and Kuxiu is the first to bring
