Accenture Federal Services and OpenAI have announced a strategic partnership aimed at speeding secure AI adoption across U.S. federal agencies. The plan, launching May 14, 2026, targets rapid movement from pilot projects to mission-grade deployments, positioning Accenture as an OpenAI Implementation Partner. Their approach combines OpenAI’s frontier models with security-first delivery, federal-ready governance, and an “Agentic Lab at The Forge” for simulated testing. The rollout also emphasizes human oversight and workforce training to improve trust and accountability.
OpenAI’s Pragya Misra urged Indian startups to build beyond today’s urgencies, warning against “recency bias” in an AI-first market. Speaking in Gurugram, she said even business process outsourcing and basic customer service operations could be disrupted within three years. Misra emphasized that the real opportunity is in workflows, context, and integrations around AI—not only the models. She also highlighted India as OpenAI’s testing ground, citing massive usage across students and regional diversity.
Anthropic is reportedly close to agreeing terms for a $30 billion fundraising round that would value the AI company at $900 billion, according to the Financial Times. The deal could close as soon as this month, though details may shift. Investors including Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter Capital are expected to co-lead, with $2 billion-plus commitments each. The valuation would be nearly triple its prior $350 billion mark. Annualised revenue is projected to top $45 billion. Meanwhile, its infrastructure partnerships with SpaceX, Google, Broadcom, and AWS are set to drive rising compute costs.
OpenAI said it is rolling Codex, its coding tool, into the ChatGPT mobile app on iOS and Android, aiming to broaden access to AI code generation as competition with rivals like Anthropic heats up. Codex can write features, answer questions about a codebase, fix bugs, and propose pull requests. With the mobile app, developers can stay updated by reviewing outputs, approving changes, and launching new tasks while connected to macOS machines running Codex, with Windows support expected soon.

In closing arguments near the end of an Oakland federal trial, Elon Musk’s lawyers attacked OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s credibility, arguing he misled investors and jurors in a dispute over whether OpenAI turned its nonprofit mission into an insiders’ profit engine. Musk claims he was manipulated into donating $38 million and wants about $150 billion in damages, alongside removal of Altman and Greg Brockman. OpenAI counters that Musk sought control and sued too late, blaming “selective amnesia.”
Nine California jurors are deliberating in Elon Musk’s case against OpenAI’s founders and Microsoft, but the courtroom fight boils down to a few specific legal questions. Jurors must weigh whether OpenAI breached a charitable trust tied to Musk’s donations, whether executives were unjustly enriched via OpenAI’s for-profit arm, and whether Microsoft knowingly aided any breach. OpenAI counters with statute of limitations, unreasonable delay, and “unclean hands,” while both sides prepare hearings on what a plaintiffs’ win could mean for OpenAI’s structure.
Cerebras’ Nasdaq debut sent its shares nearly doubling and pushed the AI-chip maker past a $100 billion market cap in hours. The win follows a turnaround from earlier customer-concentration concerns to new cloud-and-partnership momentum with OpenAI and AWS, as the company pivots toward inference capacity sold as a service.
OpenAI says its Codex coding tool is going mobile, integrated directly into the ChatGPT app for iOS and Android. In preview now for all plans, users can monitor Codex’s live environments across any device where it’s running, review outputs, approve commands, change models, or start new threads from their phone. The move follows earlier Codex updates, including background desktop execution and a Chrome extension for live browser sessions—intensifying competition with Anthropic’s remote control features.

OpenAI’s two-year partnership with Apple is reportedly fraying as the AI company feels it hasn’t received the expected upside from the deal. Bloomberg says OpenAI lawyers are exploring legal options, including sending a breach of contract notice rather than immediately filing a full lawsuit. The move follows Apple’s plans to add other AI providers, potentially reducing OpenAI’s unique role, while the company prepares further AI announcements at its June software conference.
OpenAI says hackers stole limited credential data from a small subset of internal source code repositories accessed by two employees, after a supply chain attack affected their devices. The company reports no evidence that user data, production systems, intellectual property, or existing software installations were compromised. OpenAI traces the incident to an earlier TanStack open source breach, where attackers published 84 malicious software versions over a six-minute window. OpenAI is rotating signing certificates as a precaution, requiring macOS updates.
Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman is entering its final stages in Oakland, California, as lawyers deliver closing arguments. Musk alleges OpenAI betrayed its safe-AI charitable mission by turning the nonprofit into a profit engine to enrich insiders, claiming he was steered into a $38 million gift before the nonprofit was linked to a for-profit structure and major investor funding. OpenAI argues the model strengthens the mission, while Musk seeks about $150 billion and leadership removals.
OpenAI is facing a US class-action lawsuit accusing the company of secretly embedding tracking technology on ChatGPT. The complaint alleges users’ private conversations and personal details were automatically transmitted to Meta and Google without their knowledge. The plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief and statutory damages of ₹5,000 per violation under California Penal Code Section 637.2.

New figures show Anthropic has pulled ahead of OpenAI in enterprise AI spending, with 34.4% of surveyed companies paying for Anthropic products in April. The jump is attributed mainly to growing demand for Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI coding assistant. The result suggests a faster, tool-driven shift in how businesses are choosing their next AI vendor.
For the first time, more U.S. businesses are paying for Anthropic’s Claude than for OpenAI’s ChatGPT, according to Ramp’s AI Index. Adoption jumped to 34.4% for Anthropic while OpenAI slipped to 32.3%. Yet Ramp flags three threats: runaway token costs, compute and reliability strain, and cheaper competition from open source and Codex.
Microsoft is reportedly hunting for AI startups it could acquire, aiming to strengthen its talent pool and build an advanced AI model independently. The company’s discussions are said to include Inception, a startup focused on developing novel large language model approaches. The strategy signals a shift toward owning more of the next wave of AI progress.
Indian IT stocks slid to three-year lows after OpenAI announced a venture aimed at deploying AI directly for enterprises.
