On the tech front, one of the standout news stories is the strategic partnership between OpenAI and AMD. OpenAI plans to deploy a significant 6 gigawatts’ worth of AMD’s Instinct GPUs starting from the second half of 2026, with an initial deployment expected to begin in that period. As part of this collaboration, OpenAI has received warrants to purchase up to 160 million shares of AMD stock at just a penny each, representing roughly 9% ownership if fully exercised.
