OpenAI Might Be In Over Its Head
|
Hey Reader, Welcome back! This week, OpenAI dominated headlines with reports of a major fracture between OpenAI and their primary investor, Microsoft. The fracture is so deep that OpenAI is reportedly considering the nuclear option of levying antitrust complaints at Microsoft. And that's not the only front OpenAI is fighting on, with additional news coming out about Mark Zuckerberg offering ungodly amounts of money to attempt to poach top OpenAI researchers. We'll break all that down in News That Matters, plus we'll show you how to use the exciting new Krea 1 image generator for free, share an awesome prompt you can use with ChatGPT or any other LLM, and more. There's a ton to get to today, so let's get right to it... 🪄 App of the Week: Krea 1 Use Case: Hyper-Realistic Image Generation Link: Krea V1 (Free, Not Sponsored!)​ Why you should care: But this isn't just another image generator. They built Krea 1 to avoid the "AI image" feel that a lot of other image generators have. With Krea 1, you don't need to add "realistic" or "hyper realism" to your prompt. Krea 1 will default to realism unless you tell it otherwise. Another standout feature of Krea 1 is that it’s lightning-fast. While Midjourney typically takes 15–30 seconds per image, Krea 1 delivers results in just 5–6 seconds on average. And yes, it’s completely free to use, with daily credits that refresh automatically (enough for 6–8 generations a day). Here's how to use it:
📰 News That Matters: Welcome to the Big Leagues, OpenAI Links: Why it matters: While that is still OpenAI's ultimate goal on paper, the reality is that the release of ChatGPT (and ChatGPT's subsequent dominance of the market) transformed OpenAI. No longer a small, idealistic research team, OpenAI now represents both a threat and an opportunity to the rest of the tech industry. The threat is obvious: let OpenAI grow too large, and it will continue to steal increasing numbers of users from the current kings of the market. But there's also opportunity. Microsoft saw this years ago when it invested billions into a partnership with OpenAI. But now that partnership is straining, and it could reach a boiling point soon, with OpenAI recently threatening to levy official antitrust complaints against Microsoft and settle the disputes in court. Partnerships and investments aren't the only opportunities, though. Mark Zuckerberg is taking another angle: poaching. Meta's CEO has reportedly been offering contracts to OpenAI researchers with signing bonuses in the $100 million range. It's a good strategy from the Zuck, because successfully stealing any of OpenAI's top talent bolsters Meta's AI efforts and hinders OpenAI's in one move. OpenAI may feel like the dominant force in AI right now, but zoom out and you’ll see they’re still a relatively small fish swimming in a pond full of sharks. Microsoft, Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon—these companies have far more capital, more infrastructure, and much deeper roots in our daily lives. OpenAI's success with ChatGPT has put them in the spotlight, but that spotlight also makes them a target. The rest of 2025 could be packed with stories like this, as OpenAI tries to hold its ground while the biggest names in tech close in from every direction. 📝 Prompt of the Week: Get Expert Feedback That Matches Your Voice Prompt Formula: Quick Description: The critique format it uses is structured and specific, with each suggestion including the original line, a short explanation of what could be better, and a concrete revision.
