GE Vernova is celebrating its first birthday this week with a $50 million commitment to its neighbor, MIT.Before the energy spinoff from General Electric emerged as a separate public company one year ago, chief executive Scott Strazik had to pick a headquarters location. Strazik settled on Cambridge — not because its former parent had been based in Boston, but because of all the brainpower that originally attracted GE here in 2016.The company’s new partnership with MIT is a perfect example of why Strazik picked Cambridge. GE Vernova announced on Monday, two days before the spinoff’s anniversary, that it’s committing $50…

He is also imposing additional “reciprocal” levies on approximately 60 countries that represent the largest contributors to the U.S. trade deficit —  a move that significantly impacts tech prices. These include: 46% tariff on goods from Vietnam. 32% tariff on goods from Taipei and Taiwan. 26% tariff on goods from India. 25% tariff on goods from South Korea. 24% tariff on goods from Japan. 20% tariff on goods from the E.U. China faces a…

New reports out today from Crunchbase Inc. and PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor reveal that global venture capital rebounded sharply in the first quarter of 2025, posting its strongest performance since mid-2022. However, both datasets point to a growing division in the startup ecosystem where a small set of companies and sectors, particularly artificial intelligence, are capturing an outsized share of investment. According to Crunchbase, total global startup funding reached $113 billion in the first quarter, up 17% from the previous quarter and an impressive 54% year-over-year. Though the headline figure is positive, the number was slanted by one single deal: OpenAI’s…

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More The AI landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with recent developments challenging established paradigms. Early in 2025, Chinese AI lab DeepSeek unveiled a new model that sent shockwaves through the AI industry and resulted in a 17% drop in Nvidia’s stock, along with other stocks related to AI data center demand. This market reaction was widely reported to stem from DeepSeek’s apparent ability to deliver high-performance models at a fraction of the cost of rivals in the U.S., sparking…

On Friday, Google released API pricing for Gemini 2.5 Pro, an AI reasoning model with industry-leading performance on several benchmarks measuring coding, reasoning, and math. For prompts up to 200,000 tokens, Gemini 2.5 Pro costs $1.25 per million input tokens (roughly 750,000 words, longer than the entire “Lord of The Rings” series) and $10 per million output tokens. For prompts greater than 200,000 tokens (which most of Google’s competitors don’t support), Gemini 2.5 Pro costs $2.50 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. That pricing makes Gemini 2.5 Pro more expensive for developers than any other AI…
