Zeta Global stock jumps on OpenAI partnership, fueling short-squeeze chatter in AI trade

Zeta Global stock jumps on OpenAI partnership, fueling short-squeeze chatter in AI trade

Zeta Global shares jumped nearly 9% on Monday after the marketing technology firm said it will collaborate with OpenAI to power Athena, a tool it says can answer marketing questions and recommend actions for teams. The announcement, made at CES 2026, included expanded beta access for Athena’s first two applications and a plan to launch the product to all customers by the end of the first quarter, the company said. “We’ve formed many partnerships throughout Zeta’s history, but none will be more instrumental than the one we are embarking on with OpenAI,” CEO David A. Steinberg said. Business Wire The tie-up underscores how OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, is pushing its models deeper into business software beyond chatbots. It also shows how smaller software firms are trying to keep pace by plugging into big-model providers rather than building everything from scratch.

Nvidia says Rubin chips are in full production at CES 2026 as Mercedes adopts DRIVE AV

Nvidia says Rubin chips are in full production at CES 2026 as Mercedes adopts DRIVE AV

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at CES in Las Vegas on Monday that the company’s next-generation Vera Rubin AI platform is in full production and can deliver five times the artificial-intelligence computing of its previous chips when running chatbots and other applications. He said Rubin uses a proprietary kind of data to reach that gain, adding: “This is how we were able to deliver such a gigantic step up in performance.” The push comes as rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices and in-house chips from customers like Alphabet’s Google compete more aggressively for the market of running trained AI models at scale. Reuters Rubin is Nvidia’s next major data-center platform after Blackwell, and the CES launch is an early marker for cloud and enterprise buyers lining up 2026 capacity. Demand is shifting from training large models to inference — the stage where companies deploy AI to answer user queries in real time — and that is where latency and cost per response become central.
