Apple Can ‘Distill’ Google’s Big Gemini Model

Before we get to today’s column, we wanted to flag OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s major reorg, the company’s new " Spud” model and its decision to shut down the Sora video app and application programming interface, which we scooped on Tuesday. (For what the company’s organizational structure looks like now after the changes, check out our updated OpenAI Org Chart.) The latter decision seems in line with product chief Fidji Simo’s mandate to cut down on costly “side quests.” Sora was a major user of servers, and servers are in short supply. So RIP Sora, and thanks for making this one cat video.
