OpenAI officially confirms mega-funding round and ChatGPT super app
OpenAI closes a $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation, officially unveils the ChatGPT Super App, and signals a hard pivot toward enterprise. The article OpenAI officially confirms mega-funding round and ChatGPT super app appeared first on The Decoder .
OpenAI has officially closed its latest funding round. The company raised $122 billion at a valuation of $852 billion. Key backers include Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft, along with a16z, BlackRock, Sequoia Capital, and several other investors. Private investors put in $3 billion through banking channels, and the company also expanded its credit line to $4.7 billion.
OpenAI says it's now pulling in $2 billion in monthly revenue and has crossed 900 million weekly active ChatGPT users. The company also officially unveiled the ChatGPT Super App, a single product that rolls together ChatGPT, the Codex coding agent, web search, and what OpenAI describes as "our broader agentic capabilities into one agent-first experience."
The bulk of the new capital will go toward computing infrastructure. OpenAI is clearly leaning harder into enterprise going forward; the company recently killed off its Sora video model to free up compute and because it wasn't gaining traction anyway. Enterprise already accounts for more than 40 percent of the company's total revenue. "Our consumer scale becomes the front door for enterprise usage, as familiarity in daily life drives adoption at work," OpenAI writes.

[D] How to break free from LLM's chains as a PhD student?
I didn't realize but over a period of one year i have become overreliant on ChatGPT to write code, I am a second year PhD student and don't want to end up as someone with fake "coding skills" after I graduate. I hear people talk about it all the time that use LLM to write boring parts of the code, and write core stuff yourself, but the truth is, LLMs are getting better and better at even writing those parts if you write the prompt well (or at least give you a template that you can play around to cross the finish line). Even PhD advisors are well convinced that their students are using LLMs to assist in research work, and they mentally expect quicker results. I am currently trying to cope with imposter syndrome because my advisor is happy with my progress. But deep down I know that not 100%
🚀 Gudu SQL Omni Lineage Analysis — Directly Inside VS Code
In modern data engineering workflows, SQL is everywhere. Whether you're building data warehouses, writing ETL pipelines, troubleshooting issues, or analyzing data lineage, one challenge remains constant: As SQL grows in volume and complexity, understanding the origin and flow of data at the column level becomes increasingly difficult. Traditionally, engineers rely on manually drawn lineage diagrams or upload SQL scripts to external web-based tools. However, these approaches are often: Time-consuming Operationally inconvenient Not compliant with data security policies (especially when SQL contains sensitive business logic) This raises a critical need: 👉 A powerful, local-first SQL lineage analysis tool. That’s where Gudu SQL Omni comes in. 🧩 What is Gudu SQL Omni? Gudu SQL Omni is a VS Co

Iran mediators make last-ditch push for 45-day ceasefire
The U.S., Iran and a group of regional mediators are discussing the terms for a potential 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war, according to four U.S., Israeli and regional sources with knowledge of the talks. Why it matters: The sources said the chances for reaching a partial deal over the next 48 hours are slim. But this last-ditch effort is the only chance to prevent a dramatic escalation in the war that will include massive strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure and a retaliation against energy and water facilities in the Gulf states. Driving the news: President Trump's 10-day deadline to Iran was expected to expire Monday evening. But on Sunday, Trump extended his deadline by 20 hours and posted on Truth Social a new deadline of Tuesday at 8pm ET. Trump t
