# forck.live — 4–10 March 2024 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2024-W10, 4–10 March 2024, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2024-W10 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### OpenAI — Review completed & Altman, Brockman to continue to lead OpenAI - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2024-03-08T08:00:00+00:00 - Category: funding-company-news - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://openai.com/index/review-completed-altman-brockman-to-continue-to-lead-openai - Record: https://forck.live/items/802-review-completed-altman-brockman-to-continue-to-lead-openai - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API OpenAI announced new board members and governance structure enhancements. ### OpenAI — OpenAI announces new members to board of directors - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2024-03-08T08:00:00+00:00 - Category: funding-company-news - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://openai.com/index/openai-announces-new-members-to-board-of-directors - Record: https://forck.live/items/801-openai-announces-new-members-to-board-of-directors - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API OpenAI announced new board members: Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Nicole Seligman, Fidji Simo, and Sam Altman rejoining the board. ### Vercel — 8 advantages of composable commerce - Company: Vercel (vercel.com) - Announced: 2024-03-07T13:00:00+00:00 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://vercel.com/blog/8-advantages-of-composable-commerce - Record: https://forck.live/items/21003-8-advantages-of-composable-commerce - Subject: v0 / AI SDK / AI Gateway Vercel outlines eight advantages of composable commerce, including a decoupled frontend for faster development, better developer onboarding, and faster deployment cycles.
