OPENAI LAUNCHES NEW PROGRAM FOR AI BUILDERS 🦾

What’s new? OpenAI has announced Grove, a new program for people who want to build in AI but don’t yet have a startup idea.

How will this work? Instead of focusing on pitching or raising money, this program is designed to give people hands-on time with new OpenAI tools, in-person workshops, weekly office hours, and direct mentoring from OpenAI researchers. Participants will also get to work closely with peers, share ideas, and explore different directions before deciding whether to start a company or take another path. The first cohort will consist of about 15 participants and is now open for applications (deadline Sept 24th). The program will run from October 20th to November 21st.

Why is this significant? This lowers the barrier to entry for people curious about working in AI but unsure how to start. By connecting early talent with top researchers and resources, OpenAI is investing in the next generation of innovators before their ideas even take shape. That could accelerate breakthroughs, diversify the AI startup ecosystem, and give participants rare access to guidance and tools at the cutting edge.

PUBLISHER OF ROLLING STONE SUES GOOGLE OVER AI SUMMARIES 🫵

What happened? Penske Media Corporation, publisher of Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter, has become the first major U.S. media company to sue Google over its AI-generated search summaries.

Why? Google’s AI Overviews appear at the top of search results, offering instant answers by pulling information from across the web. While Google argues the feature makes search faster and more useful, publishers say it discourages users from clicking through to original articles. Penske claims this has caused a sharp decline in web traffic and revenue—affiliate link income alone is reportedly down by more than a third this year. The company says it’s stuck between two bad options: either block Google from indexing its content, which would sink visibility even further, or allow Google to keep using its work to power Overviews and deal with plummeting website visits.

MIT RESEARCHERS USE AI TO IMPROVE FLU VACCINES 💉

What happened? MIT researchers have developed an AI system called VaxSeer that helps predict which flu strains should go into seasonal vaccines, potentially improving effectiveness and reducing guesswork.

How does this work? Every year, global health officials face the difficult task of choosing flu strains months before flu season begins. If predictions are wrong, vaccines lose effectiveness. VaxSeer uses deep learning trained on decades of viral genetic data and lab tests to forecast how the flu virus might evolve and which strains will dominate. It then simulates how vaccines will perform against those strains, producing a “coverage score” that indicates how well the vaccine will likely protect. In retrospective studies, VaxSeer’s recommendations often outperformed or matched the World Health Organization’s choices.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
