Meta is quietly building a standalone prediction-market app, codenamed Antwerp, that lets users bet on real-world events using Llama-generated questions. OpenAI and Broadcom unveiled Jalapeno, OpenAI's first custom inference chip, taken from design to tape-out in about nine months. The infrastructure race accelerates as Hyperscale Data signs a 1.2 billion dollar AI compute deal in Michigan, SpaceX lands a 6.3 billion dollar Colossus compute lease with open-source lab Reflection, and Nvidia announces a record 35 new AI supercomputers across Europe. On the model front, Google DeepMind's Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think resets the science and reasoning leaderboard, while Anthropic lands Nobel laureate and AlphaFold creator John Jumper from DeepMind. The funding wires stay hot: French health insurer Alan raises 480 million euros, commerce-software maker Redo raises 81 million dollars at a 1.25 billion dollar valuation, regulated-industry agent startup Trase raises 107 million dollars, long-running-agent lab Sail Research raises 80 million dollars, and AI-evaluation company Patronus AI raises 50 million dollars, underscoring a cycle where capital flows to reliability, safety, and oversight as much as to raw capability.DX Today - Your daily AI news briefing, delivered every morning.Send us fan mail#AINews #DXToday #OpenAI #AIInfrastructure #AIFunding
