OpenAI CEO Sam Altman invests in solar power firm Exowatt to fuel AI datacenters: $20m to keep the industry from having to rely on fossil fuels

theregister.com/2024/04/22/openai_ceo_sam_altman_invests/

Quick Glance: OpenAI CEO Supports Solar Power for AI Datacenters

Exowatt, a new player in the solar energy sector, has been established with financial backing from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other investors.

Exowatt's cutting-edge technology allows for the development of solar panels that store energy as heat and convert it into electricity. A key feature is the integration of panels and heat batteries into a single unit.

The increasing energy demands of datacenters, especially those involved in AI training, pose a significant challenge. Sam Altman raised concerns about energy consumption in January, emphasizing the need for a breakthrough to advance AI.

Altman's investment in Exowatt was partly driven by his connection with Abraham. This is not the OpenAI CEO's first energy investment. In the short term, more traditional forms of solar and nuclear power will be utilized as Exowatt and other energy companies are still in their early stages.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin 'Halving' Completed, CoinGecko Reports

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, completed its 'halving' on Friday, a phenomenon that occurs roughly every four years according to CoinGecko.

Following the 'halving', Bitcoin remained relatively stable, dropping by 0.47% to $63,747.

The 'halving' was integrated into Bitcoin's code at its inception to reduce the rate of new Bitcoins being created.

Experts are divided on whether the upcoming 'halving' will boost Bitcoin's price, with some viewing it as already factored in, while others remain skeptical.
