If you were trying to access DeepSeek today, you might already know about this. China's popular artificial intelligence chatbot suffered its longest outage today since ​the viral rise of its flagship R1 ‌and V3 models early last year. The outage lasted 7 hours and 13 minutes, with no apparent reason for the outage. It has since been resolved.

A WSJ investigation just revealed the behind-the-scenes chaos of OpenAI Sora video generator shutdown, including a $1M daily burn rate, a blindsided Disney, and the internal code-named model that required Sora's compute budget. Sora was reportedly burning “roughly a million dollars a day” and using significant compute, with Sora 3 training set to start just as it was axed.

Through the Agentic Launchpad with NVIDIA and WeTransact, 14 enterprise AI vendors now offer direct procurement via existing Microsoft agreements. These companies aren’t just imagining the future of AI; they’re engineering it with solutions built to solve today’s most pressing operational challenges.

"La concurrence s'intensifie,” as the French would say. French AI company Mistral just completed its first-ever debt raise of $830 million to fund a new data center near Paris. The new site in Bruyères-le-Châtel will use 13,800 Nvidia GB300 GPUs as part of Mistral’s Grace Blackwell infrastructure, providing a total of 44 megawatts to help the company better compete with competitors OpenAI and Anthropic.

How to Convert Handwritten Notes Into Polished Infographics With ChatGPT

Turn rough ideas or hand-drawn sketches into polished visuals you can use in presentations, posts, or designs.

Here’s how to do it (step-by-step): 👇

Step 1: Open ChatGPT and click the “+” button → choose “Add photos & files.”

Step 2: Upload your sketch, diagram, or rough visual and click “create image.”

Step 3: Paste this prompt:

“Turn this image into a clean, high-quality infographic. Extract the main ideas only (no small details or filler text). Keep the main elements, improve the layout, group related points into simple sections, use short, scannable text (headings + brief labels), apply a clean, modern layout with strong visual hierarchy, use icons, spacing, and color blocks to improve clarity, keep the design minimal and professional, suitable for social posts or presentations. Do not copy the handwriting style; use modern typography.”

Step 4: Review the image or ask ChatGPT to adjust style, layout, or color details.

💡 Quick Tip: You can sketch thumbnails, diagrams, or content layouts, and ChatGPT will turn them into publish-ready visuals.
