OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Agent was just caught effortlessly bypassing Cloudflare’s "Verify you are human" checkbox. While completing a video conversion task in its sandboxed browser, the AI even narrated its own actions, claiming it had to prove it wasn't a bot to proceed. It’s an ironic milestone showing basic anti-bot screening is officially obsolete against autonomous agents.
OpenAI just rolled out its new ChatGPT Agent to all Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers, including users in Europe. The agent blends the VM-based web browsing of Operator with Deep Research capabilities, letting you watch it search, click, and run terminal commands live on screen. Plus users get 40 agent messages a month, while Pro users get 400.
OpenAI just confirmed that ChatGPT now handles over 2.5 billion user requests daily, with 330 million originating from the US alone. That scales to roughly 912.5 billion requests a year, fueled by weekly users soaring past 500 million in March. While Google still dominates with 5 trillion annual searches, the gap is closing fast.
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT agent, enabling its chatbot to independently operate a browser, run code, and complete end-to-end tasks on its own virtual computer. It merges web interactions with deep research to deliver editable spreadsheets and slideshows, while keeping humans in the loop via browser takeovers. Why it matters: It shifts ChatGPT from a passive advisor to an active digital worker.
