Welcome the weekly in the review. This week we are seeing the unexpected return of Early Internet Darling Digg, a potential AI agent who will claim $ 20,000 a month for a professional AI agent! Let’s do this.
Openai can charge up to $ 20,000 a month. For the special AI “Agent”. According to the information report, Openai plans to launch several “agent” products that are adjusted to various applications. One of the rumors agents with a price of $ 20,000 a month aims to support “PHD -level research”. The Jaw-Dropping figure indicates how much cash open anai is currently there. The company lost about $ 5 billion last year after paying the cost of service operation and other costs.
Scale AI is under investigation By regulating unpaid wages and complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act, which regulates the fiscal retaliation of employees and illegal retaliation for employees as a contractor. The survey has been activated since August 2024 and is still in progress, according to sources familiar with this problem. The spokesman of the Scale AI said in a former presidential administration in TechCrunch that the investigation began, and the startup felt misunderstood by the regulators at the time.
The federal judge rejected Elon Musk’s consent. In the case of the ban on Openai’s planned transition to the for -profit company, we quoted not enough evidence. But the US District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said the court is ready to hold a quick trial based on the claim that Openai’s transition plan is illegal. The latest shift in MUSK’s lawsuits accuses Openai and CEO Sam Altman for abandoning the original non -profit mission.
