OpenAI got back into the open AI game this week. The ChatGPT maker dropped two new open-weight large language models that can be run on a local computer and can be fine tuned by users. Plus, a recent report by a tech giant watchdog group shows Google dropped more than 50 DEI-related groups from its funding list.

But first, Apple has pledged $100 billion to build up its supply chain in the U.S. CEO Tim Cook joined President Donald Trump at the White House to make the announcement Wednesday.

Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Natasha Mascarenhas, reporter at The Information, to discuss all of this and more.
