    ma will release more energy than it takes to heat and compress it. CFS is w= orking with Nvidia and Siemens to develop a digital version of the reactor.

    OpenAI executives are debating whether =

    is heating up, with Google now building the infrastructure needed to monet= ize its AI services. OpenAI isn't actively talking to advertisers about adv= ertising yet.
