Amazon is in talks to pour billions more into Anthropic, but there's a catch.

OpenAI is offering news publishers between $1 million and $5 million a year to license copyrighted articles for training its models, according to The Information.

With enterprise demand surging and ChatGPT Enterprise launching, businesses are clearly ready to pay for AI.
OpenAI is preparing to release a new open-source language model to the public, according to The Information. However, don't expect a free rival to ChatGPT: the report notes that the upcoming model is unlikely to compete directly with its flagship GPT lineup.
