Sam Altman will return as CEO of OpenAI, the startup said early Wednesday morning on X, formerly known as Twitter. The move follows immense pressure from employees and investors on the board that ousted him less than a week ago. Former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers will join OpenAI's board, the Microsoft-backed startup said, with Taylor holding the chair position. Adam D'Angelo, co-founder and CEO of question-and-answer startup Quora, will remain on the board. That followed an announcement late Sunday that OpenAI had hired ex-Twitch CEO Emmett Shear as Altman's interim replacement.

☆ AI bros are at war over declarations that Google's upcoming Gemini AI model smashes OpenAI's GPT-4
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The researchers behind the SemiAnalysis blog say Google's upcoming AI Gemini smashes GPT-4. That might explain OpenAI boss Sam Altman's defensive response to a post published over the weekend titled : "Google Gemini Eats The World – Gemini Smashes GPT-4 By 5X, The GPU-Poors." Gemini is a next-gen, multimodal AI model being worked on by researchers at Google's AI arm DeepMind, and is expected to be released later in 2023. In response, SemiAnalysis' Patel posted on X that he got data on Google's GPU stores from a supplier of Google — rather than Google itself. But to say Gemini Smashes GPT-4 by 5x makes it sound like it is 5x better than GPT-4, it's not, its 5x compute.

☆ Insight: Wegovy weight-loss injection factory plagued by sterile-safety failures

Microbial contamination of drugs injected into the body, rather than swallowed, can be deadly, the people said - although the FDA inspectors didn't report any signs of this sort of contamination at the Brussels factory. In both visits, the FDA inspectors found Catalent staff had repeatedly failed to investigate why equipment was malfunctioning. BLINDSIDED BY BOOMING DEMANDWithin months of launching Wegovy, Novo Nordisk was overwhelmed by demand in America, and told shareholders that its initial supply would not keep pace. From December that year and throughout 2022, Novo repeatedly pushed out the timeline for when the supply constraints would end. In late December 2022, Novo announced all five dose strengths were available again in the United States.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration findings come nearly three years after the agency's inspectors began documenting quality-control issues at the same Lilly plant in Branchburg, New Jersey. FDA inspectors returned to the plant this past July, spending 12 days there. Lilly did not directly respond to questions about the FDA inspectors' findings. The FDA report did not say whether the medicines in question were ultimately shipped to customers or discarded. In November 2019, FDA inspectors found that quality-control data had been deleted and not appropriately audited at the New Jersey plant.
