Egypt: "Energos Force" ship arrives in Jordan for Arab gas pipeline connection

Ammon News - The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources announced the arrival of the floating regasification unit "Energos Force" at the Jordanian port of Aqaba as part of its plan to secure energy and enhance regional cooperation. In a statement on Saturday morning, the ministry said that the ship will be connected to the Arab Gas Pipeline network to begin regasification operations for liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments, depending on operational requirements and load conditions on the national gas grid. This step, according to the ministry, comes within the framework of the ministry's strategy to increase production and secure the country's energy needs, and as a continuation of the integrated and proactive plan to diversify the national grid's natural gas inputs, thus enhancing the ability to meet local market needs and achieving greater flexibility in operational plans. The ministry confirmed the close and ongoing cooperation between Egypt and Jordan in the energy sector, reflecting regional integration and the shared benefit from the available infrastructure between the two sides. Additionally, the ministry stressed that the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has signed a contract with the floating regasification unit as part of an integrated system aimed at ensuring gas supplies to the local market and vital sectors, most notably electricity and industry, especially during peak consumption periods, while taking into account the diversification of national grid inputs and the rapid response to any emergencies or developments.

Meta names ChatGPT co-creator as chief scientist of Superintelligence Lab

Ammon News - Meta Platforms has appointed Shengjia Zhao, co-creator of ChatGPT, as chief scientist of its Superintelligence Lab, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday, as the company accelerates its push into advanced AI. "In this role, Shengjia will set the research agenda and scientific direction for our new lab working directly with me and Alex," Zuckerberg wrote in a Threads post, referring to Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, who Zuckerberg hired from startup Scale AI when Meta took a big stake in it. Zhao, a former research scientist at OpenAI, co-created ChatGPT, GPT-4 and several of OpenAI's mini models, including 4.1 and o3. He is among several researchers who have moved from OpenAI to Meta in recent weeks, part of a broader talent arms race as Zuckerberg aggressively hires from rivals to close the gap in advanced AI. Meta has been offering some of Silicon Valley's most lucrative pay packages and striking startup deals to attract top researchers, a strategy that follows the underwhelming performance of its Llama 4 model. Meta launched the Superintelligence Lab recently to consolidate work on its Llama models and long‑term artificial general intelligence ambitions. Zhao is a co-founder of the lab, according to the Threads post, which operates separately from FAIR, Meta's established AI research division led by deep learning pioneer Yann LeCun.

ChatGPT Surpasses 2.5 Billion Daily Requests: A Threat to Google's Throne? - Jordan News

In a clear indication of the explosive growth in generative artificial intelligence, OpenAI has announced that its chatbot, ChatGPT, now handles over 2.5 billion requests per day. This staggering number translates to more than 912.5 billion requests annually, underscoring the rapid global adoption of the tool. اضافة اعلان While Google Search still maintains a significant lead with around 5 trillion searches per year, the accelerating growth of ChatGPT poses a direct challenge to Google's dominance, particularly to its advertising-driven business model. Recent data highlights a sharp increase in ChatGPT's user base, with weekly active users jumping from 300 million in December to over 500 million by March 2025. This surge reflects the expanding reliance on generative AI for various daily applications by users around the world. Amid this intensifying competition, OpenAI is preparing to launch a new AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks, according to Reuters. This move aims to directly compete with Google Chrome and follows the recent release of the ChatGPT Agent tool, which allows users to automate tasks on their devices. It's also worth noting that other AI tools are seeing significant user growth as well. This includes xAI's Grok chatbot, integrated into the X platform (formerly Twitter), Meta AI embedded within Meta's platforms, and the AI search engine Perplexity—all of which signal that the generative AI landscape is becoming more competitive by the day.
