NEWS UPDATES
Claude beats ChatGPT on accuracy and cost
A new CIO Roundtable poll covering six industries shows Anthropic’s Claude beating GPT-4 on factual accuracy and 25 % lower average token spend. Respondents said Claude’s built-in audit log cut their compliance sign-off time from eight weeks to three. Banks liked its automatic PII masking; pharma teams cited tighter model-update notices.
If you’re weighing an RFP, these references shorten legal review and could trim OPEX. Run a 30-day A/B test on a real workflow, then compare cost-per-query, not hype.
OpenAI builds “Stargate Norway” green data hub
OpenAI and Norsk Hydro will open a 600-megawatt Arctic data center in 2026, cooled by fjord air and powered by 100 % hydropower. The site will host the post–GPT-5 training runs and includes a $50 million local talent fund. OpenAI estimates each kilowatt-hour will cost 35 % less than in temperate regions.
That means cheaper and lower-carbon API contracts when capacity comes online. Ask your vendor manager to insert a “renewable-powered compute” clause in the next AI master agreement before slots sell out.
Amazon to pilot sponsored answers in Alexa from Q4
CEO Andy Jassy green-lit a test that inserts clearly labeled ads after routine questions, weather, recipes, daily trivia. Early in-house trials show CPMs under $2 and no drop in user satisfaction when the ad is relevant and short. Regulators are reviewing disclosure wording now; launch is slated for October.
Voice could become a new paid channel before the 2026 media plans lock. Earmark a small experimental budget; early brands get premium placement before inventory crowds and prices rise.
