Apple is in talks to invest in OpenAI in an attempt to strengthen its ties with a partner integral to its efforts to gain ground in the artificial intelligence race. The investment would be part of a new OpenAI fundraising round that would value the ChatGPT maker at more than $100bn. Thrive Capital, the venture capital firm, is leading the round, which will total several billion dollars, with Microsoft, Apple’s rival, also expected to participate, according to The Wall Street Journal. It is not known how much Apple or Microsoft will invest in OpenAI during this round and neither company would comment. To date, Microsoft has been the primary strategic investor in OpenAI and it owns a 49% share of the start-up’s profits after investing $13bn since 2019

Sleeping in at the weekend can sometimes seem a lazy indulgence, but new research suggests the habit could save your life. People who regularly treat themselves to lie-ins on Saturdays and Sundays were found to be a fifth less likely to develop heart disease. Experts said that catching up on sleep at the weekend can help reduce inflammation and keep blood pressure and cholesterol healthy. Professor James Leiper, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: “While a weekend lie-in is no replacement for a regular good night’s rest, this large study suggests that it might help reduce risk of heart disease. We know that lack of sleep can affect our overall wellbeing, and this research is an important reminder of how important it is to try get at least seven hours’ sleep every night"

A study led by Durham University finds that many of those diagnosing children believe that letters jump around or words appear in a different order for those with dyslexia. These indicators have been discredited, the research says. Academics say there is significant variability in the methods used by professionals for identifying dyslexia

The new director of the National Portrait Gallery is an environmentalist who has urged arts bodies to cut ties with the fossil fuel industry. Victoria Siddall, 46, former director of the Frieze art fair, is the first woman to take the top job at the central London institution.
