wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-11-20 06:00:00

OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of a roughly $500 billion valuation, a figure that would make it the most valuable private company in the world—bigger than SpaceX, TikTok’s parent company Bytedance, and even public giants like Palantir. It’s a staggering number for a company with an “astronomical burn rate.” How is this even possible? As Axios reports, there are actually two deals in play: a SoftBank-led round valuing the company at $300 billion, which won’t close until year’s end, and a seco

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-20 09:00:57

Modern businesses are rushing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, but this rapid integration comes with unexpected challenges. A phenomenon known as “hallucinations” occurs in large language models (LLMs) and deep learning systems and threatens software quality and trust.
