SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — OpenAI said Monday it is working with chipmaker Broadcom to design its own artificial intelligence computer chips.

The two California companies didn’t disclose the financial terms of the deal but said they will start deploying the new racks of customized “AI accelerators” late next year.

It’s the latest big deal between OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, and the companies building the chips and data centers required to power AI.

OpenAI in recent weeks has announced partnerships with chipmakers Nvidia and AMD that will supply the AI startup with specialized chips for running its AI systems. OpenAI has also made big deals with Oracle, CoreWeave and other companies developing the data centers where those chips are housed.

Many of the deals rely on circular financing, in which the companies are both investing in OpenAI and supplying the world’s most valuable startup with technology, fueling concerns about an AI bubble. OpenAI doesn’t yet turn a profit but says its flagship chatbot now has more than 800 million weekly users.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the work to develop a custom chip began more than a year ago.

“Developing our own accelerators adds to the broader ecosystem of partners all building the capacity required to push the frontier of AI to provide benefits to all humanity,” he said in a statement.

Broadcom shares surged more than 9% on Monday after the morning announcement.

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said in a statement that “we are thrilled to co-develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of next generation accelerators and network systems to pave the way for the future of AI.”

In a critical day for the Middle East, Hamas released the 20 living Israeli hostages it still held and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners under a breakthrough Gaza ceasefire deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration brokered the deal, made a whirlwind visit to the region, first to Israel where he addressed the parliament to repeated applause. He landed Monday afternoon in Egypt for the “Summit of Peace” where world leaders are to discuss the ceasefire plan.

More ramped-up aid was being readied for Gaza, much of which is in ruins after two years of war that began when Hamas-led fighters attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 as hostages. In Israel’s ensuing offensive, more than 67,600 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

What we know and what remains unknown:

All living hostages have been released

Monday was day 738 since the hostages were taken, a number many Israelis have updated daily on strips of adhesive tape worn in a national commemoration.

Twenty living hostages were returned Monday to Israel to be reunited with their families and then transferred to hospitals, the Israeli military said.

Many unresolved questions remain as a ceasefire begins in Gaza

Hamas first released seven and then 13 hostages. Israel meanwhile said it had freed over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners under the truce agreement. The ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is the first phase of a plan brokered by the Trump administration.

Hamas said it will deliver on Monday four of the 28 remains of Israelis it holds in Gaza. It appeared unlikely that the other remains will be returned by the end of the day. Medical experts and advocates say that would be crucial to begin the healing process for many families, and for the Israeli society at large.

One ceasefire document contains stipulations for remains that aren’t returned within 72 hours of the end of the fighting — a deadline that expired around noon Monday. On Sunday, Israel said “an international body” will help locate the remains if they are not released on Monday.

Palestinian prisoners released

Buses carrying dozens of freed Palestinian prisoners arrived Monday in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run Prisoners Office said.

They were the first to be released of about 1,700 people that troops seized from Gaza during the war and have held without charge, as well as about 250 Palestinians serving prison sentences. At least 154 of the Palestinians had been deported to Egypt from the West Bank as per stipulations in the deal.

Many are members of Hamas and the Fatah faction who were imprisoned over shootings, bombings or other attacks that killed or attempted to kill Israelis, as well as others convicted on lesser charges. They’ll return to the West Bank or Gaza, or be deported elsewhere.

Aid expected to surge in Gaza

Humanitarian organizations have said they’re preparing to surge aid into the Gaza Strip, especially food that’s been in short supply in many areas.

That included some 400 trucks from Egypt on Sunday that will have to undergo Israeli inspection before being distributed in the strip. The Israeli defense body in charge of humanitarian aid in Gaza said around 600 trucks of aid per day will be entering soon, under the ceasefire agreement.

The world’s leading authority on food crises said in August that the Gaza Strip’s largest city was gripped by a famine that was likely to spread across the territory without a ceasefire and an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification said famine was devastating Gaza City — home to hundreds of thousands of people. That famine was expected to spread south to the cities of Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis by around now if the situation did not change.

The larger task of rebuilding Gaza is daunting, as much of it is in rubble and most of its two million residents displaced.

After a red-carpet welcome in Israel, Trump heading to Egypt

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog greeted Trump, first lady Melania Trump, his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, as well as adviser Steve Witkoff, a key envoy.

Trump met with families of hostages and spoke at the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, which welcomed him as a hero with standing ovations and chants of his name.

“Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment that everything began to change,” Trump told lawmakers in his the speech. “Now it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.”

Afterwards, Trump flew to Egypt, where he was briefly escorted by Egyptian warplanes before touching down Monday afternoon in Sharm el-Sheikh. At the resort town on the Red Sea, he was set to co-host with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi a summit with leaders from more than 20 countries on the future of Gaza and the broader Middle East.

Daunting issues remain unsolved

The ceasefire and release of hostages is the first step in the plan proposed by Trump. Competing demands remain on the next steps, casting uncertainty on whether the conflict is indeed over.

Israel wants Hamas to disarm, and Hamas wants Israel to pull its troops out of all of Gaza. The future of Gaza’s government, which has been in Hamas’ hands for two decades, also remains to be worked out.

Gaza’s Health Ministry doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants but says around half of the 67,600 in Gaza deaths were women and children. The ministry is part of the Hamas-run government, and the United Nations and many independent experts consider its figures to be the most reliable estimate of wartime casualties

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — T.J. Oshie is beginning a new career — on television.

The former Warroad High and UND star forward, who retired from a 16-year NHL career last spring, has joined ESPN as an in-studio NHL analyst for the 2025-26 season.

Oshie was on ESPN’s opening night coverage this week.

“My dad fell asleep to @SportsCenter almost every night of my childhood,” Oshie wrote on Twitter/X. “He would have loved this!”

Oshie got a taste of ESPN broadcasting during the playoffs last season. He joined for a night during the conference finals.

He’s also adding a major assignment this winter.

Oshie will join NBC’s team to call the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

Oshie played in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. He famously scored four shootout goals to help the Americans beat the Russians in a pool play game.

Oshie will call games as an analyst alongside play-by-play announcers Brendan Burke and Chris Vosters.

The Olympic Games are scheduled to be played from Feb. 6-22. NHL players will suit up for the first time since 2014.

Oshie played three years at Warroad High from 2002-05, winning state championships as a sophomore and a senior.

He moved on to play three years at UND from 2005-08, reaching three NCAA Frozen Fours.

Oshie played 1,010 NHL regular-season games for the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitals. He won the Stanley Cup with the Capitals in 2018 and spent his day with the Cup in Warroad.

PARK RAPIDS, Minn. — Ethan Ingberg was driving back home from his job at the Erickson Medical Clinic in Park Rapids last December when his car started acting up.

By the time he hit Menahga, it was crawling along at 40 miles per hour. So, he called his friend, Akeley Police Chief Jimmy Hansen, for help.

Ingberg, 23, drove the sputtering car to Akeley, dropped it off at a mechanic and hopped in Hansen’s squad car for a ride back to his home in Wadena.

“Jimmy couldn’t let me sit in the front because he had stuff there, so I had to sit in the back, where the criminals sit,” Ingberg said.

Then, he snapped a selfie and jokingly posted it on his Instagram without explanation.

Genesis Cabral Gusmão, 20, was living in her home country, Aruba, at the time. She had followed Ingberg on Instagram after seeing they’d attended the same Christian missionary school in Georgia.

She said she was surprised she was following somebody who would find themselves in the back of a squad car, so she commented on the post.

Through long conversations, the couple realized they had a lot in common, and eventually entered into a long-distance relationship.

“Before you know it, he’s buying tickets to Aruba to meet the parents,” Hansen said.

Ethan and Genesis were married on Sept. 21.

“It’s interesting, with me being from the Caribbean where it’s warm, and I’m in my own world down there, how I got to be with someone all the way up in Minnesota,” said Genesis, whose last name is now Ingberg. “Two different cultures, two different worlds connected, but we are of the same spirit.”

The couple said Jimmy and Sarah Hansen were their godparents at their wedding. The Hansens’ four daughters, Lola, Bella, Lena and Svea, were bridesmaids.

“It seems like a match made in heaven,” Hansen said.

The couple now live in Wadena and work at Wadena Seventh-day Adventist Church.
