General Intuition Eyes $6B Round to Teach Robots 'Intuition' Hugging Face Weighs $13B Sale Offer Amid OpenAI Security Breach Alibaba Raises Record $10.2B, Pours Funds Into AI Infrastructure A Eye on AI - 12:31 PM In this episode of A Eye on AI, we cover the biggest stories shaping AI across business and everyday life. General Intuition, a startup training robots using video game action labels, is in talks to raise at a $6 billion valuation — nearly triple its worth from weeks ago. Hugging Face, the open-source AI platform, has been approached about a $13 billion sale after a security breach involving an OpenAI system. Alibaba raised a record $10.2 billion in Hong Kong, earmarking all proceeds for AI. Xpeng's robotics unit Dogotix pulled in $900 million, and ENGINEAI says humanoid robot costs have dropped below $14,000 per unit. In everyday life, OpenAI's ChatGPT Work is now on the $20-per-month tier, offering AI agents that can manage your inbox and apps — but its own engineer admits it might share private data. Tune in for clear, plain-language analysis of what these developments mean for you.
