AI Models Are Scheming – Inside OpenAI’s Plan to Stop Deceptive AI Behavior

OpenAI’s Mega AMD Deal: How a 6‑Gigawatt AI Chip Alliance Could Reshape the Arms Race

Background: Why OpenAI Needed More Silicon OpenAI’s mission to build artificial general intelligence (AGI) has become a capital‑intensive arms race. Training and running models like GPT‑5 or the video‑generating Sora require vast amounts of electricity and parallel compute. In March 2025, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman unveiled a plan for Stargate, a U.S.‑based supercomputer project initially expected to cost $100 billion and deliver one gigawatt of computing capacity by late 2026. Since then, OpenAI has pursued multiple hardware partnerships, including deals with Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle, and now AMD, to ensure that capacity is not constrained by a single supplier reuters.com. The AMD alliance marks a

Chiplet Technology 2025: Design Tools, Yield Challenges, and Market Adoption

Chiplet Technology 2025: Design Tools, Yield Challenges, and Market Adoption

Chiplet architecture splits monolithic chips into multiple dies in a single package, improving wafer yields and reducing cost, with AMD reporting up to 70% cost reduction in EPYC servers versus a comparable single-die design. Chiplets enable mixing of process nodes, for example high-density cores on 5 nm while I/O dies run on 16 nm, maximizing performance-per-cost. Chiplet designs decouple innovation paths, allowing CPU cores and memory/I/O to advance on separate timelines. The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) defines a universal die-to-die interface with data rates from 8 to 32 GT/s, and UCIe 1.0 launched in 2022. 2.5D/3D packaging approaches such
