OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says his company is 'out of GPUs' to which I reply 'welcome to the party, pal'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has taken to X to voice a common complaint in TYOL 2025: His organization is "out of GPUs." As someone who regularly trawls the listings looking for the best graphics card deals. I sympathise. They're goshdarn hard to get hold of these days, aren't they?

Of course, Altman is referring to chonky enterprise-grade GPUs like those used in the Nvidia DGX B200 and. DGX H200 AI platforms—the latter of which OpenAI was the first to take delivery of last year. In fact, it was hand delivered by Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, so getting hold of more of them seems like it may be a mere phone call away.

is ready! good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an news: it is a giant. Expensive model. we…February 27, 2025.

As Altman explains, his firm will add "tens of thousands" of GPUs next week to its portfolio in order to roll out its new model, . To its Plus tier service (via TechCrunch). In the meantime, however, a shortage of GPUs has meant that it hasn't happened at quite the speed OpenAI had hoped.

"It is a giant. Expensive model. We really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs" says Altman.

"We will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and. Roll it out to the plus tier then... this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages."

I bet. In fact, a difficulty in anticipating demand seems to be something OpenAI and Nvidia might share, as it's very difficult to get hold of GPUs in general right now thanks to supply shortages, a shut down of production of older cards, and high demand.

Having hardware of its own on tap seems to be in OpenAI's future, as the enterprise is reportedly planning to build its own AI chips, likely to break its reliance on high-level silicon from Nvidia.

Still. The good news for those of you waiting to try out is that Altman seems immensely proud of it:

"It is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. I have had several moments where I've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an AI."

No-one would be more astonished than me to receive good advice from an AI. Anyway, while Altman says that wont be crushing any benchmarks, it's ready to go and he's very excited for people to try it. On the off chance that Nvidia misreads the message and sends a batch of RTX 5070 Ti GPUs by mistake, any chance you could chuck a few this way. Sam?

Twitch CEO reveals 2025 plans: collaboration, mobile, and more monetisation

Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has 's plans for 2025, including new ways of collaborating, mobile improvements, and more monetisation.

After thanking the streaming community for an "amazing" 2024 - "More than ever, in today’s world, we all want and need to find belonging and connection with other people," mentioned Clancy - the CEO listed new tools and opportunities for streamers. As well as new ways of building connection.

Collaboration is a "core part of Twitch", so following the Stream Together feature added last year, the enterprise is working on shared hype trains and shared sub goals to drive revenue collaboratively. In addition, shared chat will be manageable in the mobile app for IRL streamers.

Speaking of mobile, last year Twitch re-launched its mobile app (as revealed at TwitchCon Europe). Adding a Discovery Feed to find streamers based on recommendations. This year it will continue to revise the app, adding the ability to stream in both landscape and vertical video. And investing in the feed to aid discovery. Clips - short videos of a streamer's best moments - will also be easier to edit.

Perhaps most interestingly, Twitch is opening up monetisation for "most" streamers. Such as subscriptions and bits. Usually streamers need to reach Affiliate status before monetisation tools kick in, but this year streamers will be able to start earning immediately. Of course, Twitch takes a cut of all monetisation, so it's as much of a benefit to the business as to streamers themselves.

Elsewhere, the corporation is launching a new tool for streamers to let brands know they want to collaborate (sponsored streams are often more lucrative to streamers than subscriptions), and. Will also launch more promotional events.

Importantly, Twitch is continuing to focus on safety. This month, Twitch updated its enforcement rules; next it's looking to provide more detail on violations, and will expand moderator tools to make it easier to protect streams.

Lastly, Twitch will expand more of its Guilds (such as the Pride Guild) to a global community and. Include Ambassadors from around the world.

It's been a quieter start for the year for Twitch compared with 2024. It began last year with over 500 layoffs as Clancy admitted the platform isn't profitable.

A study later in the year claimed staff were concerned about more layoffs on the way and the future of the platform.

At TwitchCon Europe last year, I spoke with VP of product Jeremy Forrester about the sustainability of the platform.

Spider-Man 4 has had its release date shifted slightly by Marvel, and it's almost definitely thanks to Christopher Nolan.

For reasons totally unrelated to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds. Palworld developer Pocketpair has given its team a.

It turns out that the Shawn Levy directed, and potentially Ryan Gosling led, Star Wars movie will be the first one set post Rise of Skywalker.

Total War: Warhammer 3's rework of the Kislev faction looks promising, as do Cathay's grenadiers

Playing Total War: Warhammer 3's Kislev campaign on release was one of the best storified strategy game times I've had in years, launch issues be thrice-damned, triple cooked. And three times a lady. But the Slavic bulwark against stinky, angry, tricksy and horny invaders has lost some lustre since. The details in Creative Assembly's latest blog are still a work in progress, but give a solid idea of how Kislev as a faction are changing in a patch due mid-March.

Creative Assembly expressed a while back that they'd be tweaking the pricing structure for the Shadows Of Change DLC to bring it in line with the a la carte factions from other recent expansions. The Kislev-Cathay-Tzeentch expansion was beefed up post-release with new units, and now it's getting some more love: joining Kislev, Now It's Ursunal are toys for Kairos Fateweaver, and. Surprise new units for Cathay and the Ogre Kingdoms.

The biggest news here is that they've axed the supporter race between Katarin and Assputin completely. You'll instead "curry favour with the Orthodoxy to improve your common line troops, strengthen your economy and improve your invocations. And support the Ice court in order to improve your elite infantry, spellcasting and hero usage."

This isn't a race. But there'll apparently be consequences ("unrest") if you focus too much on one side over the other. I'm torn over this. I'm up for regular buffs and army theming all day long, but it sounds like there's already a single correct way to play baked in to the system. With perhaps just a little leeway to make choices if you don't want to suffer penalties. I'd say I'd withhold judgement but the judgement has clearly already wriggled out from my grasp and made itself known. In print no less.

Also dead is the ubiquitous province control system, replaced with an updated version of Devotion. "It acts much like "Control, but can be spent on local invocations to temporarily boost the local province. Or to empower an army temporarily."

The tech tree is getting an overhaul ("no longer locked behind owning the Kislev capitals"!) as is the Attamans system. They're getting their own unique skill trees, plus the following:

"Atamans now enable a new feature for settlements, tentatively called “Garrison Sally Attack” where you can command settlements managed by them to engage enemies within a limited distance. As if the settlements themselves were armies. Of course, the capital of the province is lead by the Ataman himself, who takes the field with the garrison during this attack."

This is exciting because it a) just sounds very useful and b) opens up the possibility of Wood Elf tree settlements being able to uproot themselves and. Branch batter invaders somewhere down the line.

For fate-weaving failbird Kairos, there's a whole pick n' mix lore system:

"The core promise of the fragments of sorcery feature was versatility to build your own composite lore. And the design quickly narrowed in on a true “any combination you want” feature that completely did away with the idea of an ancillary slot, and moved the decision making to its own tab of the character detail panel."

Do pop over to the blog for some more detailed visuals, but. It basically looks like you'll be able to slot in what spells you want and switch between heads to access more than usual. It's a touch vague at the moment though.

Finally, there are two new units: grenadiers for Cathay and Gnoblar slingers for the Ogre Kingdoms. The grenadiers are vulnerable but powerful bomb hurlers with a debuff stun grenade, and the slingers look like Skavenslave slingers but less perfect, beautiful. Graceful, and valiant.

I do enjoy all the work in progress art for its transparency in revealing that videogames look mostly awful for 95% of their development. I once played a grey box version of a game where all the characters in cutscenes had their faces replaced by real time clips of the actors doing mocap. Deeply disconcerting stuff.
