AI News:

Oracle's stock surged by 40% Wednesday after revealing $455B in future AI infrastructure contracts, including a massive $300B deal with OpenAI — with the rise sending founder Larry Ellison past Elon Musk as the world's richest person. Oracle disclosed securing four multibillion-dollar AI infrastructure contracts during its latest quarter, predicting its revenue backlog will exceed $500B.
As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s. Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age. A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required. Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure? Big Data News Weekly readers can take 30% off their first month with code 30NEWSLETTER for a limited time. While supplies last.
*500mg Mitopure® have been shown to (1) induce gene expression related to mitochondria function and metabolism and (2) increase the strength of the hamstring leg muscle in measures of knee extension and flexion after 4 months in overweight 40-65 year olds.

Ex-OpenAI CTO, Mira Murati’s secretive start-up, Thinking Machines Lab (which recently raised $2B, with a valuation of $12B), has announced a new project which will aim to create “AI models with reproducible responses.”Basically, the project’s objective is to understand what causes “randomness” in AI model responses.

AI coding platform Replit just announced a new $250M raise at a $3B valuation, alongside the release of Agent 3 — the company’s “most autonomous agent yet” that can build and test applications for over three hours straight. The coding startup’s revenue increased from $3M to $150M in the past year, with the new funding round nearly tripling its valuation.

US Senate Commerce Chair, Ted Cruz, has proposed a new AI bill that, if passed by Congress, would require federal governments to build "regulation sandbox environments,” which are safe and secure testing areas, that would allow companies to experiment with new AI products, with minimal federal oversight. Cruz’s proposal comes after his own state of Texas passed a similar AI sandbox law back in June.

Major web publishers, including Reddit, Yahoo, and Medium, just launched Real Simple Licensing (RSL), a new protocol that establishes payment terms for AI companies scraping their content.
