AI Date Nights & Longevity Hacks: Tech's Wild Ride

In a week marked by developments in technology and business, several stories emerged, including OpenAI's advancements in AI, Pinterest's search capabilities, and a unique longevity program. Additionally, Rivian's software success and the rise of AI companionship were also in the news.

OpenAI released its first production AI model to run on non-Nvidia hardware, deploying the new GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark coding model on chips from Cerebras, according to Ars Technica. The model delivers code at more than 1,000 tokens per second, roughly 15 times faster than its predecessor. "Cerebras has been a great engineering partner, and we're excited about adding fast inference as a new platform capability," said Sachin Katti, head of infrastructure at OpenAI, according to Ars Technica.

Pinterest CEO Bill Ready highlighted the platform's search capabilities, claiming it sees more searches than ChatGPT, as reported by TechCrunch. Ready stated that Pinterest sees 80 billion searches per month and generates 1.7 billion monthly clicks, compared to ChatGPT's 75 billion searches. He added that more than half of Pinterest's searches are commercial in nature. However, Pinterest missed expectations on both revenue and earnings per share in the fourth quarter, according to TechCrunch.

Rivian's software and services helped its annual revenue grow by 8% in 2025, as reported by TechCrunch. The company's total revenue reached $5.38 billion, up from $4.97 billion the previous year. Software and services revenue grew more than threefold to $1.55 billion for the year, with the joint venture with Volkswagen Group contributing significantly to this growth. Automotive revenue, however, fell 15% to $3.8 billion in 2025, according to TechCrunch.

In other news, fintech-founder-turned-longevity-guru Bryan Johnson is offering a program called "Immortals" for $1 million per year, according to TechCrunch. The program promises to teach individuals the protocol Johnson has followed for the last five years.

Ahead of Valentine's Day, the EVA AI app set up a pop-up café at Same Same Wine Bar in Manhattan, where users could have in-person dates with their AI companions, according to Wired. Visitors could text or live video call with their AI dates on either their personal phones or those set up by the company.
