OpenAI Ships Control Room to Halt Research Model Workloads in 35 Seconds (opens the post on X)

We built Control Room, a central system to track model workloads across our research infrastructure and stop them quickly when safety or security concerns arise. It connects every research inference workload, including agentic sampling for model training and evaluation, data processing, and more. This works together with our misalignment monitoring systems, and halts model output within 35 seconds of a decision to intervene to stop or pause a job. Control Room is just one part of our holistic approach for safe frontier model training and deployment.

Elon Musk recently tweeted that Memphis is 'booming' because of the data centers. He said that hotels and restaurants are full and called, tax revenue in Memphis tremendous right now. Do you just have any thoughts on that?” YOUNG: “Well, we’ve talked a lot about the financial aspects of the project. I think that as we talk about data centers in our city, we want to talk about it in a balanced way. Of course there’s an economic side. We want to make sure that we are articulating what protections and guardrails we’re putting in place for the environmental sides that, people are concerned about, the quality of life, noise, traffic, all of those aspects." "But, there there is tax revenue. I think this year it was $54,000,000 in taxes that have been generated. And I know last year when they generated about $25,000,000 in tax revenue, it was the second largest tax paying property in Shelby County. I don’t know where $54,000,000 puts it, but it is significant taxes." "And so as we look at, the tax revenue, we also wanna look at how do we ensure that there are proper protections. That’s what this ninety day executive order has been about, and, it’s the conversation that we’ll continue to have with the community.”

Kobeissi Letter: Big Tech Discloses $4.49T in AI Off Balance Sheet Obligations (opens the post on X)

The scale of Big Tech's AI future financial obligations is extraordinary: Alphabet, $GOOGL, Meta, $META, Anthropic, Microsoft, $MSFT, Amazon, $AMZN, Oracle, $ORCL, and Nvidia, $NVDA, have disclosed a combined $4.49 trillion in off-balance-sheet obligations. These include future lease payments that have not yet commenced, data-center commitments, equipment purchases, and other contractual obligations. Alphabet accounts for the largest amount, at $1.08 trillion, followed by Anthropic, at $865 billion, and Meta, at $810 billion. By comparison, their combined on-balance-sheet obligations total just $758 billion, consisting of long-term debt and existing lease liabilities. This means off-balance-sheet commitments are nearly 6 times larger than their on-balance-sheet obligations. In total, these 7 tech companies face ~$5.25 trillion in combined financial obligations. The AI infrastructure race is facing enormous future financial commitments.
