Partnership with American Journalism Project to support local news

OpenAI Blog 18 July 2023, 07:00

Google announced a $5 million partnership with the American Journalism Project to develop AI tools that support local news organizations. The funding will be deployed over multiple years to explore how AI can address specific challenges facing local newsrooms. Local news outlets will have input into how AI technology is developed and deployed in their operations.

Why it matters

A new $5+ million partnership aims to explore ways the development of artificial intelligence (AI) can support a thriving, innovative local news field, and ensure local news organizations shape the future of this emerging technology.

The open-weight model wars just got hotter and more complicated. Alibaba's decision to open-source Qwen 3.8 Max, a 2.4-trillion-parameter model, arrives as Kimi K3—Zhipu's 2.8T parameter system—has already claimed the top spot on Frontend Web App Arena with a 1326 Elo rating, outpacing even frontier models on certain benchmarks. Both moves signal that the frontier of capable AI is no longer exclusively held by closed API providers, a shift that's forcing the U.S. administration to consider layered policy restrictions on Chinese open models. Yet technical voices inside and outside government are pushing back, arguing that constraining open-weight systems paradoxically weakens security and competition rather than strengthening either. Meanwhile, the infrastructure problems keeping teams awake have matured: model routing, world modeling for agents, and long-horizon reliability are now first-class concerns, not afterthoughts. Frontier models have even begun solving mathematical problems at superhuman levels—like finding counterexamples to the 3D Jacobian conjecture—suggesting the bottleneck has shifted from raw capability to engineering deployment.
