OpenAI has published details on the supercomputer networking infrastructure powering large-scale AI training. The piece, hosted on OpenAI's own site, outlines how high-speed interconnects between machines are becoming the critical bottleneck — and the competitive edge — in building the next generation of models. It's less about raw compute now, and more about how fast those chips can talk to each other.
Meanwhile, Digg is back — again. Kevin Rose's once-dominant social news site is relaunching with a narrower focus this time, aggregating AI news specifically. Rose says more topics will follow. Whether Digg can carve out a durable audience in a space already crowded with newsletters, feeds, and algorithmic platforms is genuinely unclear, but the nostalgia factor alone will bring curious visitors through the door.
And in a small but telling sign of where smart home AI still struggles, Google has updated Gemini for Home to stop flagging innocent requests — like asking how to make a margarita — as problematic. The fixes also promise faster response times. It's a reminder that deploying conversational AI in domestic settings means navigating an enormous range of perfectly ordinary human questions.
