SoftBank Invests $40B in OpenAI: What This Means for AI Agents, Stargate, and Meta–Manus
SoftBank has reportedly completed its full $40 billion funding commitment to OpenAI, removing a major financing uncertainty and accelerating the infrastructure race behind Stargate. The move reinforces OpenAI’s compute advantage just as AI agents shift from demos to real workflows across enterprise and consumer products. For marketers and tech leaders, the signal is clear: platform winners will combine reliable inference capacity with distribution. It also raises the strategic stakes for Meta’s Manus acquisition.

44 Jobs OpenAI Uses to Measure AI Capability
GDPval is OpenAI’s “real-work” evaluation: instead of exam questions, it measures whether AI can produce economically valuable deliverables professionals would actually ship. It spans 44 knowledge-work occupations across nine U.S. GDP-leading sectors, selected using BLS wage data and O*NET task analysis with a 60% digital-work threshold. The benchmark includes 1,320 expert-designed tasks (plus a 220-task open gold subset) requiring artifacts like legal briefs, nursing care plans, financial spreadsheets, sales decks, and multimedia. Outputs are graded with blind, head-to-head expert preference judgments, complemented by an experimental automated grader. OpenAI notes models can be faster and cheaper on inference, but human oversight and integration matter. In this guide, you’ll get the full list of jobs, the methodology, what the early results imply for AI productivity and AI search, and what comes next: more roles, more multimodal context, and more iterative, ambiguity-heavy workflows.
