Harvard Releases a Dataset that Contains a Book Collection of 394 Million Titles
IBL News | New York
Harvard University has released a dataset of library books, named Institutional Books 1.0, for researchers, which contains over 394 million records, according to the AP.
These materials, preserved and organized by generations of librarians, comprise nearly one million books in 254 languages, dating back to the 15th century.
The largest concentration of works is from the 19th century, on subjects such as literature, philosophy, law, and agriculture.
Supported financially by Microsoft and OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, the Harvard-based Institutional Data Initiative is collaborating with libraries and museums worldwide on how to prepare their AI collections for the public.
“Librarians have always been the stewards of data and the stewards of information,” said Aristana Scourtas, who manages research at Harvard Law School’s Library Innovation Lab.
These datasets were shared this month on the Hugging Face platform, which hosts open-source AI models that anyone can download.

OpenAI Gets a $200 Million Contract to Develop AI Models for the Pentagon
IBL News | New York
OpenAI was awarded a $200 million, one-year contract by the U.S. Department of Defense to develop “prototype frontier AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains.”
The Defense Department specified that the contract is with OpenAI Public Sector LLC.
The new contract represents a small portion of OpenAI’s revenue, which is generating over $10 billion in annualized sales. In March, the company announced a $40 billion financing round at a valuation of $300 billion.
In April, Microsoft, which supplies cloud infrastructure to OpenAI, announced that the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency had authorized the use of the Azure OpenAI service with classified information.
Also, this year, OpenAI said it would collaborate with defense technology startup Anduril to deploy advanced AI systems for “national security missions.”
Currently, OpenAI is working to build additional AI infrastructure in the U.S. under the $500 billion Stargate project.
In 2024, Anthropic, an OpenAI rival, announced plans to collaborate with Palantir and Amazon to provide its AI models to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies.
