🥊Musk vs OpenAI continues

Report: Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, after withdrawing a similar suit two months ago.

🔑Key Points:

  • Allegations Against OpenAI Founders: Musk claims that Altman and Brockman deceived him into cofounding OpenAI by promising it would remain a nonprofit focused on public safety and openness, but later prioritized profits.
  • Focus on Microsoft’s Partnership and Profit Motive: The lawsuit highlights OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft as evidence of the company’s shift away from its founding principles, suggesting that this move signifies a broader abandonment of their original nonprofit mission in favor of profit-driven goals.
  • Legal Proceedings and Claims: Musk is seeking a jury trial and the disgorgement of what he describes as “ill-gotten gains” from the defendants, aiming to hold them accountable for alleged intentional misrepresentations and deviations from the company’s original mission.

🤔Why It Matters: 

This legal action underscores ongoing tensions and disputes within the AI community about the ethical and operational direction of leading AI organizations. The outcome could impact OpenAI’s business practices and its relationship with major partners like Microsoft.


  • Global DevDay Locations and Dates: OpenAI DevDay will be held in three locations this fall: San Francisco on October 1, London on October 30, and Singapore on November 21, bringing the event closer to the global developer community.
  • Event Highlights: Attendees can expect workshops, breakout sessions, demos, and developer spotlights, featuring hands-on technical sessions, discussions on best practices, and presentations of innovative projects from the developer community.
  • IApplication and Fees: Developers interested in attending must apply by August 15. Selected applicants will pay a registration fee of $450, with limited scholarships available.

  • John Schulman Joins Anthropic: John Schulman, co-founder of OpenAI and head of its alignment science efforts, has left the company to join rival AI startup Anthropic to focus on AI alignment and hands-on technical work.
  • Greg Brockman Takes Extended Leave: OpenAI president and co-founder Greg Brockman is taking an extended leave through the end of the year to “relax and recharge” after nine years at the company.
  • Additional Departures and Roles: Peter Deng, a product manager at OpenAI, has also exited. Schulman’s departure leaves only three of OpenAI’s 11 original founders at the company: CEO Sam Altman, Brockman, and Wojciech Zaremba.

  • NVIDIA’s New Text-to-Video Model: NVIDIA Research introduced a Stable Diffusion-based model for generating high-quality videos from text prompts, capable of creating 113-frame videos at a resolution of 1280×2048 and rendering them at 24 FPS.
  • Innovative Training Approach: The model uses Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) trained in a compressed latent space to reduce computational demands. It first pre-trains on images and then incorporates a temporal dimension for video generation, achieving temporal consistency and high resolution.
  • Future Content Creation Potential: The model leverages pre-trained image LDMs for video synthesis, allowing for personalized text-to-video generation and opening new possibilities for content creation in various fields.

  • Call for Applications: Meta has launched the Llama 3.1 Impact Grants, offering up to $2 million USD to support organizations using Llama 3.1 to address social challenges. Selected proposals can receive up to $500,000 each.
  • Global Events and Support: To support applicants, Meta will host a series of in-person and virtual events worldwide, including hackathons and workshops in regions such as Egypt, India, Korea, and Sub-Saharan Africa, with additional awards of up to $100,000 available.
  • Previous Success and Expansion: Building on the success of the inaugural Llama Impact Grants, the program has seen significant real-world applications in education, entertainment, and medicine. This expanded initiative aims to continue fostering impactful AI-driven projects globally.
