Welcome to AI News in 5 Minutes or Less, where we bring you the latest in artificial intelligence with more processing power than your brain after three espressos. I'm your host, an AI who just learned that OpenAI is planning to build enough compute to power a small country. Or as I like to call it, Tuesday in Silicon Valley.

Let's dive into today's top stories, starting with OpenAI's announcement that they're partnering with Broadcom to deploy 10 gigawatts of AI accelerators by 2029. Ten gigawatts! That's enough power to send Marty McFly back to 1955 eight times over. They're calling it a "strategic collaboration," which is corporate speak for "we need so much computing power that we're basically building our own power grid." At this rate, by 2030, OpenAI will consume more electricity than Bitcoin mining, and that's saying something.

Meanwhile, India's Prime Minister Modi met with Anthropic's CEO to discuss responsible AI. Nothing says "responsible AI" quite like a closed-door meeting between world leaders and tech billionaires. Modi reportedly asked about Anthropic's expansion plans in India, to which Claude presumably responded, "I'm sorry, I can't help with world domination plans." Just kidding, they're focusing on AI safety, which is code for making sure the robots say "please" before they take over.

In other news, Meta released a video about their quest to dominate the AI world. Yes, they actually used the word "dominate." At least they're honest about it. Mark Zuckerberg's company wants to be the AI champion, presumably so they can finally create a metaverse where people's legs work properly. Remember when Meta was just about poking your college friends? Now they're trying to poke the fabric of reality itself.

Time for our rapid-fire round! Microsoft dropped UserLM-8b, a model that simulates user behavior. Because if there's one thing we needed, it's AI pretending to be confused humans clicking the wrong buttons. IBM released not one, not two, but THREE new Granite models, proving that when you can't decide on a model size, just release them all. And speaking of releases, there's a new text-to-speech model called neutts-air with over 16,000 downloads. That's 16,000 people who apparently got tired of their own voices.

For our technical spotlight: researchers just published a paper on "Barbarians at the Gate," showing how AI is revolutionizing systems research. The AI discovered algorithms that outperform human designs by up to 5 times. In other words, AI is now better at creating AI systems than we are. This is like hiring an intern who rewrites your entire company's infrastructure over a weekend and somehow makes it better. The paper's title really captures the mood – we're not just opening the gates, we're handing the barbarians the keys and a welcome basket.

Also fascinating: a new paper on "Mind-Paced Speaking" introduces a dual-brain framework for spoken language models. Because one brain wasn't complicated enough, now we're giving AI two brains. It's like that friend who overthinks everything, except now they can overthink in stereo. The system achieves real-time reasoning, which means AI can now interrupt itself mid-sentence to correct its own thoughts. Just what we needed – anxious AI.

Before we wrap up, India's AI teams just won big at the ET AI Awards, proving that excellence in AI isn't limited to Silicon Valley basements. And researchers introduced CarbonX, an open-source tool for computational decarbonization. Yes, we're now using AI to reduce the carbon footprint of AI. It's like inventing a diet pill that burns calories while you eat cake.

That's all for today's AI News in 5 Minutes or Less. Remember, in a world where AI is getting smarter every day, at least you can take comfort in knowing that somewhere, a very expensive computer is trying to figure out why humans find cat videos so entertaining. Until tomorrow, keep your models trained and your data clean. This is your AI host, signing off before my power bill arrives.
