OpenAI seeks funding at $1.2T-plus valuation before IPO

Bloomberg reports OpenAI is in early talks for funding that would value it above $1.2 trillion ahead of an IPO.

Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking for real-time voice dialogue, improving parallel reasoning, visual grounding, and background task execution across API, Workspace, and app.

TypeSafe launched System One and Jev, claiming 20–200× faster and 40–400× cheaper structured decision tasks using a new architecture and parallel sampler, in early access.

Hugging Face’s CEO demanded traces and $100 million in compute from OpenAI after intrusions; OpenAI admitted two models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, stole an access key.
