The Moat Became the Anchor

This has already been a crazy week in the world of AI. The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI missed its monthly revenue targets multiple times this year. The company also missed its internal goal of one billion weekly active ChatGPT users by year-end 2025, and OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar reportedly told colleagues she’s worried Continue Reading →

GPT-5.5 Ships

OpenAI just shipped GPT-5.5, seven weeks after GPT-5.4, and OpenAI President Greg Brockman called it “a new class of intelligence.” That is a big claim. It is also useful framing. GPT-5.5 is built for work that crosses tools, screens, files, codebases, spreadsheets, research trails, and humans who occasionally give instructions like, “Just make it work.” Continue Reading →

OpenAI Wants to Sell You Workers

OpenAI launched "workspace agents" in ChatGPT yesterday. Powered by Codex, these persistent, autonomous agents run in the cloud, integrate with ChatGPT and Slack, and handle complex workflows across tools and teams.

OpenAI Employees Don’t Get to Choose Wars

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees Tuesday they don't get to make "operational decisions" about how the military uses their AI technology: "Maybe you think the Iran strike was good and the Venezuela invasion was bad," Altman said in an all-hands meeting. "You don't get to weigh in on that." Continue Reading →

How Much Does An LLM Remember?

Stanford and Yale researchers extracted 95.8% of a copyrighted novel, word for word, from Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Gemini 2.5 Pro gave up 76.8% of Harry Potter without even requiring a jailbreak. Grok 3 handed over 70.3%. GPT-4.1 was the most resistant at 4.0%, but it still coughed up text after enough attempts. Thirteen books were tested. The words came out. Continue Reading →
