Campus, the two‑year online college backed by Sam Altman and Shaquille O’Neal, acquired Sizzle AI and said it will embed the startup’s AI-generated interactive content into its curricula. Founder Jerome Pesenti, formerly Meta’s AI lead, will join Campus as chief technology officer. Campus said the deal accelerates its product roadmap by two to three years and that Sizzle AI has over 1.7 million users. The acquisition will let faculty use AI tools to track student progress and personalize feedback, according to Campus leadership. The institution plans to integrate Sizzle’s infrastructure into its accredited associate-degree programs and to use the platform to scale low-cost instruction and completion supports. Why it matters: the move highlights growing consolidation between AI infrastructure firms and alternative higher-education providers. For campus leaders, the deal is a test case for governance, academic standards and how generative AI will be operationalized in accredited programs.
