Good morning! Today is Monday, May 26, 2025.

We have some exciting AI news today: Google is advancing its 'world model' to establish a new AI operating layer, and Nvidia is set to launch a cost-effective Blackwell AI chip tailored for the Chinese market.

1. Google Unveils Its Boldest AI Vision Yet: A World Model for a Universal Assistant

At Google I/O 2025, the company revealed its most ambitious AI goal so far: building a “world model” that powers a universal assistant capable of understanding the physical world, making plans, and reasoning like a human. Branded under Gemini, this AI platform is evolving rapidly across tools like Gemini Live, Flow, and Veo 3. Google aims to make its assistant the foundation layer for how people interact with apps and data, potentially leapfrogging Microsoft’s current lead in enterprise AI. With 7 million developers now using Gemini and AI Overviews reaching 1.5 billion users monthly, Google is moving fast—but it faces fierce competition from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Amazon, and must also protect its $200 billion search business from disruption. The race to build the operating system of the AI age is officially on.

2. Nvidia Plans Cheaper AI Chip for China to Bypass US Export Curbs

Nvidia is set to launch a lower-cost AI chip for the Chinese market in June, priced between $6,500 and $8,000, to replace its now-restricted H20 model. Built on the new Blackwell architecture, the chip will use conventional GDDR7 memory and avoid advanced packaging tech banned under US export rules. While it offers weaker performance, it keeps Nvidia competitive in China’s $50 billion data center market, where rivals like Huawei are quickly gaining ground. Nvidia’s edge remains its CUDA software ecosystem, which is still widely used by developers building AI applications.

3. Anthropic CEO Says AI Hallucinates Less Than Humans, Defends Path to AGI

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei claims today's AI models may hallucinate less than people do, arguing that mistakes made by AI are often more surprising but not necessarily more frequent. Speaking at the company's first developer event in San Francisco, Amodei said hallucinations are not a roadblock to artificial general intelligence, which he believes could arrive as soon as 2026. While other experts, like Google DeepMind's CEO, highlight hallucination as a major issue, Amodei compared AI errors to those made by humans in everyday professions. He acknowledged the risks but defended Anthropic’s progress, saying no "hard blocks" are holding AI back from reaching human-level intelligence.

He’s already IPO’d once – this time’s different

Spencer Rascoff grew Zillow from seed to IPO. But everyday investors couldn’t join until then, missing early gains. So he did things differently with Pacaso. They’ve made $110M+ in gross profits disrupting a $1.3T market. And after reserving the Nasdaq ticker PCSO, you can join for $2.80/share until 5/29.

Invest today for $2.80/share.

Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.}

4. OpenAI Expands to South Korea, Taps Into Surging ChatGPT Demand

OpenAI is opening its first office in Seoul as South Korea becomes its second-largest market for paid ChatGPT subscriptions after the United States. The company has already established a local entity and started hiring staff to support new partnerships in the region. OpenAI’s Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon praised Korea’s robust AI ecosystem, highlighting its potential across hardware, software, and education. The move follows a recent partnership with Kakao and signals OpenAI’s growing focus on international expansion and collaboration.

5. OpenAI and Jony Ive Are Building a Mysterious AI Super-Gadget

OpenAI and legendary designer Jony Ive are teaming up under their new venture “io” to create what’s being called an AI super-gadget. While details remain scarce, reports suggest it won’t be smart glasses, but rather a companion device for your phone and laptop, possibly inspired by the iPod Shuffle. On The Vergecast, hosts break down what this might mean for the future of hardware, speculate on its purpose, and compare it to other ambitious AI projects like Google’s latest Gemini-powered tools. The AI hardware race is heating up, and OpenAI is betting on something completely different.

6. Pakistan Powers Up: 2,000 Megawatts Allocated to Bitcoin Mining and AI Centers

Pakistan is launching a bold new strategy to turn surplus electricity into economic opportunity by allocating 2,000 megawatts to bitcoin mining and AI data centers. Spearheaded by the government-backed Pakistan Crypto Council, the move is aimed at monetizing unused energy, attracting foreign investment, and creating high-tech jobs. As more citizens turn to solar to escape high tariffs, the country is looking to digital infrastructure as a new growth engine. This is just the first phase of a larger national rollout.

Stay tuned for more updates, and have a fantastic day!
