Microsoft, OpenAI Rewrite Partnership to Enable IPO and Secure Post-2030 AI Access
Microsoft and OpenAI are renegotiating the terms of their multibillion-dollar alliance as OpenAI seeks to convert its for-profit arm right into a public profit corporation and eventually go public. In response to the Financial Timesa key sticking point is Microsoft’s equity stake within the restructured entity, which stays governed by OpenAI’s nonprofit board. Microsoft, having invested $13 billion, must approve the conversion. One proposal under discussion involves Microsoft trading a portion of its equity for prolonged access to OpenAI’s technologies beyond the present 2030 cutoff.
The talks also involve revisions to their 2019 contract. The balance of power has grown increasingly fraught as OpenAI’s enterprise offerings begin to encroach on Microsoft’s own AI product roadmap. Compounding matters is OpenAI’s Stargate initiative, a multibillion-dollar supercomputing project that signals an intent to scale infrastructure independently, potentially reducing reliance on Microsoft’s cloud stack.

Microsoft’s Pages brings ChatGPT-like collaboration without coding features
Microsoft has launched Pages, a brand new Copilot tool designed for collaborative writing and text refinement. Much like ChatGPT’s Canvas, Pages allows users to directly edit AI-generated responses by choosing text and prompting modifications via an “Ask” button. While geared toward content iteration equivalent to tweaking tone, expanding sections, or rewording ideas, it currently lacks coding capabilities.
Pages supports task-specific prompts like structured guides, goal-oriented schedules, or step-by-step planning, all formatted for checklists or time-based tracking. Read more.
Google’s Creative Tools Get Smarter

On the Game Developers Conference, Google unveiled its Gemma 3 model, enabling local, multimodal AI integration in games. Developers can use it for dynamic NPC interactions, with a Unity plugin for real-time dialogue. Google also highlighted Gemini 2.0 for cloud-based AI coaching in larger games.
Recent NotebookLM Features:
Google’s NotebookLM is adding a “Video Overviews” feature, powered by Veo 2, to convert notebook content into short video summaries. The update also features a latest “Editor’s Picks” section for community-driven content. These features will launch alongside the mobile version for iOS and Android.
Neuron Synchronization Powers Sakana AI’s Recent Thought Machine
Sakana AI has launched the Continuous Thought Machine (CTM), a neural network that integrates neuron synchronization and timing to reinforce decision-making. Unlike traditional AI models, which deal with single neuron outputs, the CTM leverages the precise timing of neuron activity, allowing for complex, multi-step reasoning. The model’s performance is demonstrated in tasks like maze-solving and image classification, where it exhibits human-like behavior, equivalent to path-following in mazes and focusing attention on relevant image features.
Introducing Continuous Thought Machines

Modern AI is powerful, but it surely’s still distinct from human-like flexible intelligence. We imagine neural timing is essential. Our Continuous Thought Machine is built from the bottom up to make use of neural dynamics as

The CTM’s asynchronous nature allows it to reason about each static and sequential data effectively. The model’s behavior is emergent, based on neuron dynamics and synchronization, offering improved interpretability and efficiency in problem-solving tasks. This approach moves closer to replicating brain-like processes, marking a step forward in AI’s integration with biological insights. Read more.
