The model includes thinking capabilities, web information access, and can generate up to eight images from a single prompt while maintaining visual consistency.
OpenAI quietly launched Chronicle, a research preview feature for Codex that periodically screenshots your Mac screen to build AI context. But the implementation raises red flags: screenshots get sent to OpenAI's servers for processing, memories are stored as unencrypted files, and the feature increases prompt injection risks. Security researchers are already drawing comparisons to Microsoft Recall's troubled rollout.
OpenAI's ChatGPT experienced a widespread service outage affecting multiple services including ChatGPT Business, API Platform, and Codex. The disruption prevented users from accessing AI tools for over an hour before reports began declining. While OpenAI confirmed it was investigating the issue through its status page, the company provided minimal updates, raising questions about service reliability for businesses and individuals who depend on these AI workflows daily.
Adobe unveiled CX Enterprise, an AI suite designed to help corporate clients automate and personalize digital marketing functions. The move comes as the design software maker faces mounting pressure from AI startups like Anthropic and OpenAI, with Adobe shares rising 2.2% following the announcement despite falling 30% year-to-date.
Fynd, backed by Reliance Retail Ventures Limited, has processed over 4.3 million customer interactions using OpenAI's large language models. The AI-native retail technology company's conversational AI agent now serves 1.1 million users and handles 750,000 interactions monthly across fashion, beauty, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors.
OpenAI unveiled GPT-5.5 on Thursday, calling it its smartest and most intuitive AI model yet. Released just seven weeks after GPT-5.4, the model brings significant improvements in agentic coding, knowledge work, and scientific research. President Greg Brockman says it's a step toward OpenAI's planned superapp that will unify ChatGPT, Codex, and AI browser capabilities.
Cerebras Systems, an AI chipmaker building wafer-scale processors, has filed publicly for an IPO months after withdrawing a previous attempt. The company brought in $510 million in revenue in 2025 with a $24.6 billion backlog, including a massive $20 billion deal with OpenAI. But despite 20x revenue growth since 2022, Cerebras remains operationally unprofitable with 86% of revenue coming from just two customers.
OpenAI is losing Kevin Weil, who led its science research initiative, and Bill Peebles, the researcher behind Sora. The executive departures follow the company's decision to shut down costly projects like Sora, which burned $1 million daily, and Prism as it pivots toward enterprise AI and building a Codex-based superapp.
Satellite imagery reveals nearly 40% of US data centers planned for 2026 face significant delays as tech giants struggle with labor shortages, power infrastructure bottlenecks, and permitting hurdles. Major projects from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle are likely to miss completion dates by over three months, threatening to slow AI expansion despite hundreds of billions in planned investment.
Mercor, a $10 billion startup, recruits doctors, lawyers, and social workers to teach AI how to do their jobs—paying them as much as their full-time work. Meanwhile, economists debate whether AI job displacement will trigger economic collapse or simply shift labor to new sectors. Congress remains largely silent despite mounting evidence of disruption.
Sequoia Capital has secured roughly $7 billion for a new expansion strategy fund, nearly doubling its 2022 vehicle of $3.4 billion. The fundraise marks the first major capital raise under new co-stewards Alfred Lin and Pat Grady, who took leadership in November 2025. The fund targets late-stage investments in US and Europe, with a sharp focus on AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, both eyeing 2026 public listings.
OpenAI released GPT-Rosalind, its first domain-specific AI model built for life sciences research. Named after DNA pioneer Rosalind Franklin, the model aims to compress the 10-to-15-year drug development timeline by helping scientists synthesize evidence and generate biological hypotheses. Access is restricted through a trusted access program to enterprise partners including Amgen, Moderna, and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
OpenAI is transforming Codex from an AI coding tool into a productivity powerhouse that can control your desktop. The company partnered with Infosys, Accenture, PwC, and other global consulting firms to accelerate enterprise adoption, while adding background automation, 100+ plugins, and memory features. With over 4 million weekly users and competition heating up against Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI is positioning Codex as the foundation for a future super app.
American Express announced it will acquire Hyper, an AI-focused expense management startup backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The deal, expected to close in Q2 2026, positions AmEx to deploy autonomous AI agents that categorize expenses, file reports, and handle compliance checks automatically, marking a shift from traditional expense software to agentic finance.
OpenAI is testing a new feature that allows ChatGPT to remember user-uploaded images, eliminating the need to re-upload photos repeatedly when creating AI-generated images for viral social media trends. Spotted in the ChatGPT Android app beta, the 'Reference photo' option lives in the Memories section and gives users full data control to replace or delete stored images anytime.
