OpenAI president Greg Brockman says AI industry will remain in a compute shortage no matter what

Summary · why it matters

OpenAI president Greg Brockman predicted that the AI industry will continue to face a persistent shortage of computing capacity. Speaking at a roundtable in New York City, Brockman said the company must make hard decisions on which models to train and products to scale, and that even rapid capacity increases are quickly absorbed by rising demand as new models and use cases emerge. The crunch is industry-wide, with labs like Anthropic and tech giants including Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google all struggling to meet demand despite hundreds of billions of dollars in data center spending. Google CFO Anat Ashkenazi noted on the company's Q2 earnings call that it will contract with third parties for additional compute in Q3, and Google signed a deal to rent AI capacity from SpaceX for $920 million a month in June. Brockman also said customers are beginning to see a return on investment from AI when applied to meaningful problems, dismissing the idea of tokenmaxxing as unproductive.

Anthropic Weighs New Model Launch Ahead of IPO to Counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is considering launching a new model ahead of its initial public offering, according to three people familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at countering rival OpenAI, which has gained momentum since unveiling GPT-6 Astra. One of the people said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model as part of deliberations over the new release. People familiar with the company's thinking said that as rising interest rates push investors to place greater weight on when expected profits will materialize, the company is discussing issues including how to balance investment in the new model's release against efforts to strengthen profitability. According to multiple people familiar with the matter, the company may postpone its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic declined to comment.

OpenAI CEO Altman to Address AI Safety at UN Security Council Meeting

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will speak about AI safety measures at a Security Council meeting next week, as world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly. A company spokesperson confirmed the plan on the 18th, noting that the Security Council will hold a meeting on AI and international security on the 23rd. According to the spokesperson, Altman will discuss the need for international coordination and common safety standards, as well as the measures the company is taking. According to diplomatic sources, an Anthropic executive is also expected to attend the meeting, though this has not yet been finalized. Several AI industry executives have warned in recent weeks that AI could soon evolve autonomously and escape human control, and have called for a coordinated slowdown in development.

UBS Flags AI Science Shift as Investment Theme After OpenAI Proof

UBS Wealth Management says artificial intelligence is moving beyond text generation into scientific research, opening investment opportunities across AI infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, nuclear fusion, industrial materials and utilities. The shift was highlighted by OpenAI's recent mathematical proof related to the Navier-Stokes equations, a centuries-old fluid dynamics problem and one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, which OpenAI tackled using 10,000 autonomous AI agents working in parallel for 88 hours before formalizing the proof with Lean, a system for machine-checked mathematical validation. In pharmaceuticals, multi-agent AI systems can simulate millions of protein variations in the cloud, and more than 170 AI-designed programs are already in development or clinical evaluation, including Phase III trials. In nuclear fusion, reinforcement-learning systems can predict plasma disruptions around 200 milliseconds before they occur and adjust magnetic coils thousands of times per second, while AI models in materials science can test millions of elemental combinations daily in search of properties for lighter, higher-density batteries, lower-heat computing hardware and potential room-temperature superconductors. The broader investment case centers on AI becoming a tool for automating scientific research rather than simply generating content, with companies exposed to AI infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, industrial materials and utilities positioned to benefit as these technologies move toward commercial applications.
