TOP STORY
OpenAI to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems, matching a small country’s power use
The Summary: OpenAI and Nvidia announced plans to deploy 10 gigawatts of AI data centers, representing several millions of GPUs to power OpenAI’s next generation of AI models. Nvidia will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI as infrastructure comes online, starting with the Vera Rubin platform in 2026.
We're proud to announce a landmark partnership with @OpenAI to build new gigascale AI factories using millions of NVIDIA GPUs. 🤝
This partnership will supply 10 gigawatts of GPUs to fuel @OpenAI's data center growth.

Key details:
A 10GW capacity equals the power draw of a small country with several million GPUs running nonstop
First 1GW deployment on Nvidia Vera Rubin platform set for 2026
Future chips will bring energy savings, meaning fixed 10GW of data centers will deliver more compute over time, while power remains the same
Nvidia’s $100B investment is structured as non-voting equity, raising “circular financing” concerns since much of the cash will flow back again to Nvidia as GPU purchases
Why it matters: Scaling compute has become OpenAI’s growth engine. Sam Altman calls the 10 GW the “literal key” to revenue, framing data centers as AI factories that turn energy and chips into new AI breakthroughs and profit. This new Nvidia/OpenAI pact of unprecedented scale makes compute a strategic commodity, managed with the same importance once given to oil, steel, and semiconductors.

OPEN SOURCE
Qwen3-Omni and Qwen3-VL expand open multimodal AI with speech and vision
The Summary: Several major releases dropped from the Qwen team. Qwen3-Omni 30B integrates text, audio, image, and video input with text and real-time speech output. Alongside it, Qwen3-VL 235B is an advanced vision model built for visual reasoning and action, including 2-hour video understanding and multi-language OCR. Both are released with open weights and a free license, positioning the Qwen3 series as the most ambitious open multimodal stack to date. Moreover, Qwen3-Max is a trillion-parameter closed-source text model that now sits above GPT-5 Chat on LM Arena.
Key details:
Qwen3-Omni delivers low latency audio and video streaming and is runnable on consumer 24GB GPUs
Includes a low-hallucination open audio captioner
Bug: some voices play at slow speed in English
Qwen3-VL supports 2-hour video analysis with timestamps
OCR handles blur, tilt, and even rare scripts, with bounding boxes
Both models released under an Apache 2.0 free license
Max is closed-source and available via Qwen Chat and API
Why it matters: Qwen3-Omni and VL attack two different bottlenecks. Omni lowers the barrier on speech-first assistants and can run on local GPUs, making local multimodal assistants viable earlier than expected. VL enables reasoning and transcription on complex visual documents. On top, Max shows Qwen also competes at frontier scale, placing above GPT-5 Chat and rivaling Claude Opus and Grok Heavy.

Turn Feedback Chaos Into Clarity
How Canva, Perplexity and Notion turn feedback chaos into actionable customer intelligence
You’re sitting on a goldmine of feedback: tickets, surveys, reviews, but can’t mine it.
Manual tagging doesn’t scale, and insights fall through the cracks.
Enterpret’s AI unifies all feedback, auto‑tags themes, and ties them to revenue/CSAT, surfacing what matters to customers.
The result: faster decisions, clearer priorities, and stronger retention.

RESEARCH
How people actually use ChatGPT and Claude
The Summary: New research details how ChatGPT and Claude are being used in practice. ChatGPT is now part of everyday life, with most conversations about writing help, practical advice, and decision support. Claude, by contrast, is more often used in coding and business automation. These patterns show AI splitting into two roles: a personal advisor, and an automation tool for work.
Key details:
ChatGPT non-work use increased from 53% to 73% of total chats in one year, with newer users leaning more toward personal use
Writing dominates ChatGPT work requests, with two-thirds involving rewriting or translating user-provided text rather than creating new material
Educational demand is large with 36% of ChatGPT’s “practical guidance” for tutoring or teaching requests
Claude automations rose from 27% to 39% of total tasks
44% of Claude API use is for coding
Why it matters: Usage patterns reveal the real story of generative AI. Decision support drives personal use and automation structures enterprise workflows. ChatGPT is evolving into an advisor for most people. Claude, in contrast, is used mainly for technical and enterprise workflows. Together, they show a split role for AI: partner in daily life and automator for enterprises.
