techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2025-12-05 10:44:33

Barbie-maker Mattel and OpenAI have teamed up to bring generative AI to the toy-making and ever-expanding pipeline of IP repackaging. This partnership marks new territory for OpenAI, which has signed licensing deals with news publishers and enterprise players, but never a toymaker. However, it’s consistent with the AI giant’s overall strategy of embedding itself across industries, and it might give OpenAI a foothold in Mattel’s growing entertainment arm.

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-12-05 11:23:17

That gave it a starting market cap of about $9.8 billion. While some would point out that this is far below its last private valuation of $25 billion, according to PitchBook’s estimates, shares opened at $42, putting it at $14.5 by midday in heavy trading, according to Yahoo Finance.

Apple Execs Get Seriously Flustered Trying to Explain the Company's Dismal AI Failure

Apple is facing some intense scrutiny after yet again flubbing its AI tech. During the company's Worldwide Developers Conference on Tuesday, the company showed off its latest vision for "Apple Intelligence," a suite of tools that use machine learning to scan images for objects or smush emojis together to form custom Franken-reacts — cutesy ideas that fall vastly short of the ambition of competitors in the space like OpenAI.
