The wait is over for OpenAI’s open‑weight models. For the first time since GPT‑2, OpenAI is giving developers access to the raw model weights. No API, no cloud dependency, no rate limits, and no vendor lock-in. You download them. You run them. You own the infrastructure. After five years of locking things behind an endpoint, OpenAI has released gpt‑oss‑120b and gpt‑oss‑20b under an Apache 2.0 license. Continue Reading →
A TechCrunch investigation revealed something that should make everyone pause before clicking "share" on their next ChatGPT conversation. When users create public links to their ChatGPT conversations, Google and other search engines are indexing them, making private conversations discoverable through simple domain filtering searches.

Both OpenAI and Google DeepMind announced gold-medal performances at the 2025 International Math Olympiad (IMO) this week, correctly answering five out of six questions in one of the world's most challenging high school math competitions.

It can click through websites like Operator; synthesize research like Deep Research; and access your Gmail, GitHub, and calendar to complete real tasks. It's available today for Pro, Plus, and Team subscribers through a simple dropdown menu selection. Continue Reading →
The browser wars just got interesting. Reuters reported yesterday that OpenAI is launching an AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks. Three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that OpenAI will integrate ChatGPT directly into browsing, letting AI agents fill out forms, book reservations, and handle tasks without clicking through to websites.

This week has been full of hands-on AI experiments. Yesterday, we built a web-based “Yiddish Curse Generator” in under 10 minutes by simply describing it to Claude Code.
