Anthropic just took the crown from OpenAI as the top LLM provider for businesses, capturing 32% of enterprise usage compared to OpenAI's 25%, according to Menlo Ventures. Anthropic is especially dominating in coding with a 42% market share—more than double OpenAI's 21%—largely driven by Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet.
OpenAI just unveiled Stargate Norway, its first AI data center initiative in Europe. Partnering with Nscale and Aker, the project aims to deploy 100,000 NVIDIA GPUs by the end of 2026, running entirely on cheap local hydropower with direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Yelp just launched AI-generated restaurant videos nationwide on its iOS app feed. The platform stitches user photos and clips with OpenAI-written scripts, ElevenLabs voiceovers, and Amazon captions to profile local spots. Business owners can't preview them yet, and users currently have no way to opt out of having their photos included.
OpenAI just introduced study mode in ChatGPT, replacing instant answers with step-by-step guidance. Available now to Free, Plus, Pro, and Team users, the mode leans on Socratic questioning, scaffolded explanations, and knowledge checks to build real comprehension. OpenAI plans to eventually bake these pedagogical behaviors straight into its core models.
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.
OpenTable just launched Concierge, a free AI assistant built directly into its app and website to answer diner questions. Powered by OpenAI and Perplexity APIs alongside data from over 60,000 restaurants, it handles menu tips and dietary concerns, answering roughly 80% of common queries before eventually handling table bookings too.
OpenAI is preparing to roll out GPT-5 as early as next month, packing o3 reasoning capabilities directly into the main model to eliminate the friction of switching tools in ChatGPT. It reportedly plans to launch combined, mini, and nano versions, while also racing to release a new open-weight reasoning model before July wraps up.
OpenAI is rolling out new personality presets for ChatGPT, letting users switch tone between a direct "Robot," a sarcastic "Cynic," and a supportive "Listener." A guided "Study Together" homework mode is also rolling out, while backend clues point to Sora 2 and GPT-5 testing ahead of DevDay.
Sam Altman just sat down with comedian Theo Von on This Past Weekend to tackle the raw anxieties surrounding AI. When pressed on whether labs should slow down, Altman admitted the race is too intense to pause without losing ground, but insisted humans will still find a way to stay the main characters.
OpenAI just announced its third annual DevDay, scheduled for October 6, 2025, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. The event will host over 1,500 developers with keynote presentations from Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Tickets cost $650, and the opening keynote will be livestreamed publicly.
Clinicians at Kenya's Penda Health made 16% fewer diagnostic mistakes after plugging an LLM copilot into their daily workflow. The tool, called AI Consult, runs silently in the background and only flags potential treatment or diagnostic red flags for doctors to review. In real-world clinics, it turns AI into an unobtrusive second opinion rather than an automated replacement.
OpenAI just struck a deal with Oracle to add 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity in the U.S. for its Stargate infrastructure project. Combined with its Texas site, Stargate now has over 5 GW under development to house more than 2 million chips, with initial Nvidia GB200 racks already spinning up early frontier workloads.
OpenAI just released its first economic analysis of ChatGPT, revealing over 500 million active users sending 2.5 billion daily prompts. In the US, 28% of employed users now use ChatGPT at work, up from 8% in 2023. OpenAI is also partnering with Harvard and AEI economists on a 12-month labor study.
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.
Instacart's Fidji Simo just announced she is joining OpenAI on August 18 as CEO of Applications to get its technology into the hands of everyday users. In an essay, she argued AI can democratize healthcare, learning, and entrepreneurship—warning that without intentional rollout, it risks concentrating wealth among the few.
OpenAI just signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with the UK government to accelerate AI adoption across public services and businesses. The deal focuses on technical sharing with the UK AI Security Institute, infrastructure priorities, and expanding OpenAI's 100-person London footprint. Why it matters: Frontier AI labs are moving from commercial vendors to core state infrastructure partners.
OpenAI just claimed an unreleased experimental reasoning model achieved gold-medal-level performance on the 2025 International Math Olympiad. Tested without web access or extra tools, it solved 5 of 6 problems to score 35 out of 42. Google DeepMind quickly pushed back, arguing no gold claim is valid without official marking guidelines.
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.
OpenAI just expanded its macOS Record mode globally to all ChatGPT Plus subscribers. The tool captures meetings, brainstorms, or quick voice notes, letting ChatGPT transcribe the audio, pull out key takeaways, and turn them directly into follow-up tasks, project plans, or code.
