OpenAI enters into lucrative deal with U.S. government
OpenAI recently secured a $200 million contract with the US Department of Defence (DoD) to deploy AI tools across administrative functions, part of an initiative to integrate AI tech within government operations. In a statement, the company explained it is launching the OpenAI for Government initiative to provide AI expertise to public servants and support the US government in deploying the technology for the public good.
The overriding aim of its work is to enhance the capabilities of government workers, helping to cut down on red tape and paperwork.
Its first partnership under the new initiative will be a pilot programme with the DoD through its Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. It will help identify and prototype how frontier AI could transform administrative operations including improving how US military members and their families access healthcare, streamlining programme and data acquisition, and supporting proactive cyber defence.
OpenAI added the initiative consolidates its existing government projects under one area, including the development of a version of ChatGPT for government workers, along with its work with space agency NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Through the initiative, OpenAI will offer US federal, state and local governments access to its most advanced ChatGPT models, custom set-ups for national security, hands on support and an insight into future AI advancements.
OpenAI added it is just getting started and is looking forward to helping US government leaders 'harness AI to better serve the public'.

SpaceX Starship Ship 36 Explodes Before Flight Test
SpaceX was set to perform a static fire test of Ship 36 before its planned 10th flight test for its Starship; however, a massive explosion at the Massey's Testing Center site disrupted SpaceX's plans on Wednesday, June 18. 'A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,' SpaceX said in a statement. According to SpaceX, there were no hazards to residents in the area, which is located in Starbase, Texas. The fire continued for two hours after the initial explosion, according to live camera feeds from NASA Spaceflight and LabPadre. The explosion occurred before the start of the static fire and thirty minutes after the propellant load sequence started. The cause of the explosion and the extent of the possible damage are unknown; however, it follows explosions during the seventh, eighth, and ninth Starship flight tests earlier this year. The Brownsville Fire Department crews responded to the incident, according to KRGV news. Fox News reported that the authorities ensured that there were no injuries during the incident. If the explosion had not occurred, the flight test would have continued using SpaceX's 'V2' Starship design. SpaceX is also preparing a V3 design, which is targeting a rate of launching once a week in about 12 months. This article was previously published on omanmoments.

Next-Level Immersion: LG's 45" 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor
There are gaming monitors—and then there's the LG UltraGear™ OLED 45GX950A. At first glance, it's easy to think this is just another ultra-wide curved monitor aimed at pro gamers. But spend even a few minutes with this 45-inch OLED beast, and it becomes clear: this isn't just a display upgrade—it's a workspace revolution, a cinematic canvas, and an adrenaline shot of immersion all in one. Let's start with the headline: 5K2K resolution across a dramatic 21:9 ultra-wide canvas. That's 33% more pixels than 4K, but it's not just about the math. It's about how the OLED panel—backed by LG's cutting-edge WOLED and MLA+ technology—makes blacks deeper, whites more radiant, and color saturation feel almost surreal. Whether you're exploring a fantasy universe or grading a 6K video timeline, you're seeing detail and texture in a way that's simply impossible on a traditional screen. Then there's the speed. This isn't just about refresh rates—it's about adaptability. The Dual-Mode function lets you seamlessly toggle between a razor-sharp 165Hz WUHD for visually rich games or workflows, and an insane 330Hz WFHD for lightning-fast FPS or esports moments. And yes, 0.03ms (GtG) response time is real. Blur and ghosting don't stand a chance here. Curved to match your vision, literally. With an 800R curvature, the screen wraps naturally around your field of view—no exaggerated fisheye distortion or cramped vertical limits. It's a display you sit inside, not just in front of. What really sets the UltraGear 45 apart, though, is how it straddles both work and play with effortless grace. Multitasking across a 5K2K screen is like unlocking a second brain. No bezels interrupting your thought process, no external monitor juggling. Just one seamless, immersive view where your editing timeline, reference windows, and browser tabs all live in harmony. And of course, LG didn't forget about sound. With 10W x 2 rich bass speakers and support for DTS Headphone:X, this monitor doesn't just look amazing—it sounds like a high-end gaming rig even when your headset's off. For creators, gamers, and hybrid professionals who demand the best from every pixel, the LG UltraGear™ 45GX950A isn't just a monitor—it's a mindset shift.
