MIT-founded startup OpenAGI just unveiled Lux, a computer-use foundation model that claims an 83.6% success rate on the live Online-Mind2Web benchmark. That easily beats OpenAI's Operator at 61.3% and Anthropic's Claude Computer Use at 56.3%, using a screen-and-action training loop that runs at a fraction of the cost.
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 rolled out major upgrades to its security apparatus as it races toward AGI. The company boosted its top bug bounty payout from $20,000 to $100,000, broadened research grants to cover agent resilience, and teamed up with SpecterOps for continuous red-teaming. As autonomous agents take the wheel, defensive stakes have never been higher.
OpenAI just expanded Operator, its task-running AI agent, to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and several other countries. The agent handles tasks like booking reservations and shopping inside an isolated browser window. Why it matters: At $200 a month and still locked out of the EU, OpenAI's flagship web agent is taking its first major step onto the global stage.
OpenAI just unveiled Operator, a research preview of an AI agent that controls a web browser to complete real-world tasks like filling out forms and ordering groceries. Powered by a new Computer-Using Agent (CUA) model, it navigates interfaces like a human while asking users to take over during logins and payments. It is currently rolling out to Pro users in the U.S.
OpenAI just launched a research preview of Operator, a general-purpose AI agent that takes control of a browser to handle travel booking, reservations, and online shopping. Powered by a Computer-Using Agent model, it clicks and fills out forms just like a human, though sensitive actions like payments still require manual user approval.
OpenAI is reportedly launching a new autonomous agent called Operator in January, according to Bloomberg. The tool can navigate web browsers to handle multi-step actions like booking flights or writing code on your behalf, rolling out as a research preview and developer API. It marks a clear pivot across big tech from conversational bots to software that actually gets work done.
