TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

1. 🔄 Reboot: Yahoo isn’t done yet. During Google's antitrust trial, a prototype web browser project by Yahoo quietly surfaced signaling a surprising twist in its quest to reclaim search relevance. It’s early but the reboot energy is real.

2. ⚡ Showdown: Google just pulled a bold move: cutting edge AI operational costs by 80%. It’s a direct challenge to OpenAI’s expanding cloud dominance and a signal that edge AI could become faster, cheaper, and more mainstream than ever before.

3. 🌟 Trailblazer: Trust in AI isn’t optional anymore. Pleias, a breakout start-up, launched ethically-trained compact reasoning models optimized for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) complete with built-in citations. In an AI world plagued by hallucinations and misinformation, Pleias might just be the north-star innovators were waiting for.

4. 🏛 Powerhouse: BCG is stepping up its innovation game. With the launch of the AI Science Institute, it’s setting out to bridge academic research with enterprise application fuelling real-world AI breakthroughs.

5. 💰 Megabucks: xAI holdings, Elon Musk’s ambitious AI venture, is reportedly in talks to raise a staggering $20 billion. If it succeeds, it could dramatically shift the power map of AI innovation, positioning xAI as a heavyweight challenger to OpenAI.
