OpenAI launches the Frontier Alliance with BCG, McKinsey, Accenture and Capgemini to help enterprises move beyond pilot projects by pairing OpenAI engineers with consultants to embed AI into core workflows through the Frontier platform, addressing data integration and staff training for broader AI deployments.
Microsoft’s sales chief told staff the company is uniquely positioned to compete with OpenAI’s Frontier AI agent product, emphasizing the advantages of Microsoft’s integrated Office apps and enterprise software and equipping the sales team with talking points to highlight those benefits against OpenAI’s offering.
OpenAI is launching Frontier, a platform described as HR for AI, built to help businesses build, deploy, and manage AI agents—including those not created by OpenAI—by providing shared context, onboarding, feedback-driven learning, and clearly defined permissions. It sits on top of existing tools to unify workflows and data, can operate across different environments with configurable boundaries, and will let teams “hire AI coworkers” for tasks like coding and data analysis. Availability is limited to a select set of customers (e.g., Intuit, State Farm, Thermo Fisher, Uber) with pricing not disclosed, while OpenAI CEO Fidji Simo envisions Frontier as the single platform to govern all enterprise AI agents by year’s end.
Verizon and Frontier have cleared all regulatory hurdles to close their acquisition on January 20, 2026, expanding Verizon’s fiber footprint to nearly 30 million passings across 31 states and Washington, D.C., enabling cross-sell opportunities and new bundled mobility and fiber offers after closing, with Frontier’s stock to be delisted following the completion of the deal.
Planet Zoo celebrates its sixth anniversary with the announcement of a sequel in development, promising to build on the success of the original game with new features and content, with more details expected next year.
Ron Howard's film Eden depicts a true story of idealists fleeing 1929 Germany to establish a utopian society on Floreana Island, only to face internal conflicts and societal collapse, exploring themes of human nature, societal breakdown, and the illusion of paradise.
Researchers used the Frontier supercomputer to create the largest universe simulation ever, incorporating both visible and dark matter. This exascale-class machine, capable of a quintillion calculations per second, allows for unprecedented astrophysical simulations, enhancing our understanding of the universe's evolution and composition. The simulation aligns with large telescope surveys and includes complex physics beyond gravity, such as star and galaxy formation. Although Frontier was recently surpassed by El Capitan as the fastest supercomputer, its contributions to cosmology remain significant.
The Frontier supercomputer, now the world's second fastest, has conducted the largest-ever simulation of the universe, focusing on cosmological hydrodynamics. This simulation, run by the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, aims to model the universe's evolution, including dark matter and dark energy, using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC). Frontier's capabilities allow for more detailed simulations than previous supercomputers, providing insights into the universe's structure and potentially challenging existing cosmological models.
The Frontier supercomputer, powered by AMD's EPYC CPUs and Instinct MI250X GPUs, has set a new industry benchmark by training a 1 trillion parameter language model, showcasing the potential of its 37,000 GPUs. This achievement, detailed in an Arxiv submission report, demonstrates Frontier's capabilities in large language model (LLM) training and its status as the world's leading and second most efficient supercomputer. With only 3,000 of its GPUs used for this task, the results hint at the immense potential for further scaling and advancements in AI and HPC performance.
Nissan has unveiled the 2024 Frontier Hardbody Edition, a special retro-inspired tribute to the popular compact Nissan hardbody pickup from the 1980s. The edition features '80s-inspired styling, including heritage styled wheels, black fenders and side rails, and retro graphics. The package costs an additional $3,890 on top of the Crew Cab SV 4x4 trim, bringing the total price to around $40,000. The 2024 Frontier also comes with updated standard tech features and a slight price increase of $200 to $29,770.
F1 Manager 2023 will be released on July 31 with a new Race Replay mode, allowing players to take control of a team of their choice in a full race or drop managers part-way through a race and ask them to achieve a set objective before the chequered flag is shown. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a physical release for all console versions to follow. The base game will cost £44.99/$54.99/€54.99, with the deluxe edition available at a suggested retail price of £54.99/$64.99/€64.99.
JetBlue has agreed to divest all of Spirit's holdings at New York's LaGuardia Airport to Frontier as part of its proposal to acquire Spirit. The divestitures are part of JetBlue's upfront commitments included in the merger agreement and are contingent on the transaction being successfully completed, which JetBlue expects to happen in the first half of 2024. The Department of Justice has sued to block the merger, arguing that it would ultimately cause airfares to increase. If approved, the merger would create the fifth-largest airline in the U.S.
The Frontier system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory remains the only true exascale machine on the TOP500 list, with an HPL score of 1.194 Eflop/s and an energy efficiency rating of 52.59 Gflops/watt. Fugaku, LUMI, Leonardo, and Summit round out the top five. The Henri system at the Flatiron Institute in New York City earned the No. 1 spot on the GREEN500 list with an energy efficiency of 65.40 Gflops/Watt. The HPCG benchmark results show Fugaku, Frontier, and LUMI as the top three performers. The HPL-MxP benchmark highlights Frontier's mixed-precision computation capabilities.
Charm Industrial has secured a $53m contract with Frontier, a public benefit company owned by Stripe, to remove 112,000 tons of carbon dioxide between 2024 and 2030 on behalf of Frontier member companies. Charm will convert excess organic material, such as corn stover, into bio-oil and inject it into abandoned oil wells for permanent storage. The deal is the first of its kind for Frontier and is exponentially larger than previous agreements. Charm's ability to deliver results was the reason for its selection. The company's bio-oil sequestration method is expected to be one of the cheapest and most scalable ways of permanently removing carbon from the atmosphere.
A Frontier passenger accidentally boarded the wrong flight and ended up in Jamaica instead of Jacksonville, without her passport. The airline offered her a $600 voucher and refunded her original ticket.
