OpenAI kauft die Kokurrenz weg.

#Kiel

أعلنت شركة OpenAI عن خططها للاستحواذ على منصة Ona بهدف دمج تقنياتها المتطورة في التنفيذ السحابي الآمن ضمن نظام Codex البيئي. ستتيح هذه الخطوة لوكلاء Codex العمل بشكل مستمر ومستقل داخل بيئات سحابية محمية، حتى في حال انقطاع اتصال المستخدمين بأجهزتهم الخاصة. تهدف هذه المبادرة إلى دعم عمليات النشر في المؤسسات الكبرى، وتوفير تحكم أكبر للمنظمات في البنية التحتية وحدود الأمان والبيانات، مما يعزز الكفاءة التشغيلية والخصوصية الرقمية بشكل ملحوظ.

"Das Kieler Startup Ona wird von OpenAI übernommen – in einem der größten deutschen Exits der letzten Jahre."

Es sei dem Team gegönnt. Aber:

Die mythische Innovationskraft von US-Big-Tech speist sich zu einem guten Teil daraus, dass sie europäische Unternehmen aufkaufen, bevor sie selbst groß werden.

Die NGO @rebalance_now fand heraus: "Die großen Tech-Firmen (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta und Microsoft) haben zwischen 2019 und 2025 weltweit mindestens 191 Unternehmen übernommen: im Durchschnitt alle elf Tage eines. Die Wettbewerbsbehörden haben nur zwei dieser Fusionen verhindert. 184 Übernahmen wurden bei der @EUCommission überhaupt nicht angemeldet."

Weekly output: Most Innovative Companies, Serve Robotics, Android 17, United Airlines’ ambitions, Polymarket’s pop-up bar

CHICAGO–This is one of my favorite cities in the U.S., but it doesn’t show up in my work travel as often as I’d like. So I’m delighted that the Online News Association decided to move its annual conference from late summer to early spring and then stage this year’s event here–in a hotel that should be familiar to everybody who’s seen The Fugitive.

Patreon readers got a bonus post that I’d meant to have written weeks earlier: a recap of MWC Barcelona in which I also gave away a global eSIM to the first reader to ask for it.

3/24/2026: The most innovative robotics and engineering companies of 2026, Fast Company

This list, the product of months of research and editorial back-and-forth, finally emerged online this week. And then we had to run a quick correction after one of the companies honored said that we’d mentioned an achievement that they did not want disclosed.

3/25/2026: Delivery Robots Have a Mapping Problem, PCMag

I sat down in a hotel lobby in Austin during SXSW with MJ Burk Chun, co-founder and vice president of product and design at Serve Robotics, to talk about the issues that company is working to address as it tries to scale up having four-wheeled robots cart food deliveries to customers.

3/27/2026: Google Ships Latest Android 17 Beta. Here’s What’s New, PCMag

In between having so many longer stories to write, I was happy to get one that I could bang out in an hour or so.

3/28/2026: United’s New Upgrades Aim to Keep You Online and Fully Charged at 35,000 Feet, PCMag

My week started with me flying to another one of United’s hubs–with the airline covering my airfare and lodging–for its United Elevated event at LAX. In addition to looping me into UA’s ambitions for its onboard product, this event doubled as a reunion with some of the avgeek journalists I met at Cranky Dorkfest in September and with my former Washington Post colleague Lori Aratani, who interviewed United CEO Scott Kirby onstage Tuesday morning.

3/29/2026: Pints meet prop bets: Polymarket’s “Situation Room” pop-up bar in DC, Ars Technica

I thought I saw an opportunity to write for this occasional client for the first time since the summer of 2023; fortunately, my editor then and now agreed.

"¿Para qué vuelvo a despertar?
¿Por qué me sigue faltando el aire?
Solo espero a que suceda,
¿Cuánto tiempo tengo aún?"
