Welcome, AI Visionaries!

OpenAI is teaming up with Mattel to give Barbie and Hot Wheels a neural core. But while the toys get smarter, the stakes get heavier; from safety and privacy to emotional development. Elsewhere, Meta is making power moves with Scale AI and quantum chemistry.

In today’s Generative AI Newsletter:

• OpenAI and Mattel partner on AI-powered toys and digital play

• Meta acquires 49% of Scale AI as CEO Alexandr Wang steps down

• National labs release 100M+ molecular simulations for AI chemists

🎥 LIVE: How Leading AI Teams Use Web Data to Win

Most AI strategies still run on static data. That’s a problem.

92% of organizations say real-time data is critical.
96% are collecting it.
But very few know how to scale it—or use it well.

❗Why?
Because turning public web data into real competitive advantage is hard.
Even though 99% of AI leaders call it essential, only a few know how to actually use it for:

On June 18 at 4 PM CET, join a live conversation between Steve Nouri (Founder, GenAI – the world’s largest AI community) and Or Lenchner (CEO, Bright Data) as they unpack what this data gap means—and how top teams are closing it.

You’ll learn how real-time web data is being used to:

⚙️ Powering RAG pipelines and AI agents

📚 Fine-tuning LLMs with domain-specific insights

🏗️ Scaling real-time, compliant infrastructure

📈 Building systems that adapt fast and win faster

This session is live, unscripted, and built for AI leaders who need answers now, not later.

🎁 You’ll walk away with strategies that are already working—no fluff, just practical insight.

✨ OpenAI & Mattel: The Future of Play Is Here. But At What Cost?

OpenAI has inked a deal with Mattel to power a new wave of AI-enabled toys and digital experiences across flagship brands like Barbie, Hot Wheels, and American Girl. The first products are set to debut later this year.

What’s coming?

• OpenAI’s models will be integrated into both physical products and digital platforms, with the first AI-enhanced toy expected to launch by the end of 2025.

• The partnership spans Mattel’s entire brand ecosystem, tapping into hundreds of toys and game titles across generations.

• ChatGPT Enterprise is also being rolled out internally at Mattel, giving staff access to advanced tools for ideation, storytelling, and workflow automation.

• Both companies are emphasizing child safety, with Mattel retaining full creative and editorial control over content, behavior, and brand voice.

For decades, toys taught kids how to imagine. Now they might start imagining back. It also invites deep scrutiny over how AI might shape emotional development, attention spans, and data privacy from the earliest years of life.

👋 Alexandr Wang Leaves Scale AI as Meta Buys In at $29B

Meta has taken a massive 49% stake in Scale AI for $14.3B, valuing the data-labeling firm at $29B and in a surprise move, Scale CEO Alexandr Wang is stepping down to join Meta’s AI superintelligence efforts.

What’s happening:

• Wang will join Meta, while staying on as a board director at Scale.

• Jason Droege, Scale’s current strategy chief, becomes interim CEO.

• The investment will fund growth and investor payouts, with Scale remaining operationally independent.

• Meta confirmed it will deepen its data production partnership with Scale, essential for training its large language models.

The move comes as Meta tries to catch up with faster-moving rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic losing 4.3% of its top AI talent last year alone. By pulling Alexandr Wang into its core AI team , Meta now owns both the tools and talent needed to close the gap

🧪 Meta and National Labs Drop 100M+ Simulations to Train AI Chemists

In a landmark collaboration, Meta, Los Alamos, and Berkeley Lab have released Open Molecules 2025, a public dataset of over 100 million molecular simulations designed to supercharge AI in chemistry, drug discovery, materials science, and energy research.

Details:

• The dataset contains 100M+ DFT (density functional theory) calculations, offering quantum-level detail of molecular behavior.

• Created using Architector, a powerful 3D structure prediction tool developed at Los Alamos, with a focus on rare earth and actinide metal complexes.

• Covers a broad range of molecular types: from drug-like small molecules to RNA ions and electrolyte systems.

• Meta provided the massive compute needed to simulate rare earth compounds, generating data on 20,000+ structures per element.

It’s a fundamental rewrite of how chemistry gets done. With Open Molecules 2025, researchers can skip months of expensive quantum calculations and jump straight into designing the next cancer drug, clean battery, or climate tech, all with a model pre-trained on atomic truth.
