You build an agent with working tool calling, then change the model behind it and the tool calls start failing. Your tool definition did not change. The request and response format the model expects did, because each provider uses its own shape for tool definitions, tool call responses, argument encoding, and tool results. If nothing in your stack translates between those shapes, a model swap turns into new parsing code and new failure modes. This article compares how six agent frameworks define
GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast, running on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, is available now in the OpenAI API and to eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Accelerated by inference optimizations through OpenAI’s models that tap into the capabilities of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, Ultrafast offers up to 8x faster token generation than the Astra Standard mode. For developers, faster generation can shorten coding agents’ edit-test-debug cycles, reduce the time spent generating responses between tool calls and
These trends come from a self-selected panel of users.

Metadata was provided by @YouGov, which randomly selected ChatGPT users from its US panel. All message text was removed before sharing.Two key caveats for interpretation: users opted in to share their histories, and had used ChatGPT at least once in 2026, when the sample was drawn.
OpenAI is again experimenting with how its conversational AI assistant, ChatGPT, can help users as they shop online. On Thursday, the company announced the global launch of two new shopping features, including a way to virtually try on clothing and accessories and a new favoriting function that can help users save products they like for later reference. The updates arrive at a time when AI assistants are exploring consumer use cases around shopping. OpenAI already had to pivot from one of its ea
OpenAI has parted ways with three researchers on its safety team who allegedly shared confidential company information with a third-party AI safety organization, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.“We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to the Journal. “Our investigation confirmed that these individuals mishandled sensitive information outside established

Authors’ note: This is the first essay in our series on the next economy, part of anew platformto host independent voices exploring an AGI future. It reflects our views, not those of OpenAI or our colleagues. Humanity has seen almost to the beginning of time. Our equations tell a mostly coherent account of the universe from its first moments. With our telescopes, we have looked to the reaches of the cosmos and glimpsed its early history. We know about the birth of stars and the formation of gala
At OpenAI’s annual DevDay conference, the company pulled out all the stops to compete with its rivals — primarily Meta, whose Muse AI agent platform has seen early runaway success. CEO Sam Altman walked onstage to cheers and announced Dots, a “real-deal AI” agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, “inspired by the cool agents that we all watched in movies growing up.” Similar to Muse, Dots aims for disarming cuteness, taking the form of colorful, personalizable blobs with eyes. OpenAI fired shots at Meta b
In distillation, one model learns from another model's full output. That includes the stronger model's complete chains of thought, not just its answers. Those intermediate steps are what make the output so valuable. OpenAI says they can contain information that's deliberately kept out of the final answer, and they can help others recreate a model's capabilities. According to OpenAI, the activity began at low volume on July 1. On July 24 and 25, it spiked to 16,000 requests from more than 4,000 u

ChatGPT grew from 100 million weekly active users within a few months of its launch to more than 900 million in February 2026, according to OpenAI. With so many people now using AI, questions about its effects, both positive and negative, have taken on greater importance. Those questions are hard to answer without a good understanding of how people actually use these tools and how that use has changed over time. Most behavioral data on AI use is either self-reported, as in our own polls with Ips
Personal agents were the talk of our Machine Earning AI Summit in San Francisco on Tuesday as founders, investors, and operators working at the forefront of AI debated how it will change finance and commerce. The manic enthusiasm for agentic commerce was tempered only by the recognition that when it comes to people handing over financial decisions to AI, it is still early days.We also surveyed our audience of fintech and AI insiders and gathered a trove of anonymous hot takes.

Google unveiled Gemini 4 Argon, its new frontier model that closes the gap with rivals from OpenAI and Anthropic, beating some of them on key benchmarks. While it may not clearly lead the pack, it is relatively cheap for a frontier model, at least at the introductory price. Argon is Google's first frontier model in more than seven months, following Gemini 3.1 Pro. It puts the ad giant back among the top three AI labs, though Anthropic likely still holds the lead. After a difficult and drawn-out
This week, OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol. It upgrades GPT-6 Sol, the mid-tier model in the GPT-6 family. OpenAI’s claim is specific: near-Astra results on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work. The price is one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra’s standard input and output rates. Cached input drops to $0.10 per million tokens, 50% below GPT-6 Sol. Is it deployable? Yes, as a hosted model. It is live today in the OpenAI API as gpt-6.1-sol, and in ChatGPT Work and Codex. Where Sol Sits in the GPT-6
OpenAI and Synopsys have signed a multi-year strategic partnership to build a specialized AI model for chip design called GPT-Synopsys. Synopsys makes electronic design automation (EDA) tools, the software engineers use to design computer chips and semiconductors. GPT-Synopsys combines OpenAI's AI technology with Synopsys' EDA tools. OpenAI is licensing Synopsys' EDA tools for the project. The goal is a model that can "reason about chip design and verification, and to directly operate Synopsys'
One of the more intriguing announcements at OpenAI’s Dev Day event on Tuesday came in an aside from CEO Sam Altman, who revealed the company’s new “Decisions API.” The API apparently provides similar functionality to Jev, a model released by TypeSafe AI earlier this month that’s explicitly designed for software automation. A kind of super-powered classifier built on an LLM, developers can give Jev a set of choices that it outputs as probabilities cheaply and at high speeds. OpenAI’s Decisions AP

Google is rolling out "Skills" globally in Gemini chat. Skills are detailed prompts for specific tasks that the AI can help write and refine. They replace Gems, Google's equivalent of OpenAI's Custom GPTs, which OpenAI is also sunsetting. The Skills format originated with Anthropic and is available as an open standard. Users save frequent instructions as a Skill and invoke them by typing "/" plus the Skill name. Gemini can also generate Skills from previous chats and run them automatically when
A lawyer used ChatGPT to generate briefs that included completely made-up witnesses and testimony while representing a man accused of shooting his wife. When he was caught by the judges, the lawyer blamed it on his own “stupidity.” “It's little comfort to know that my stupidity is what brings us together this afternoon,” New Mexico attorney Stephen D. Aarons said in a hearing last month before five judges. He “assumed” ChatGPT would generate a “bulletproof summary of proceedings.” Instead, ChatG
While AI has made plenty of inroads on people’s phones and computers, it’s largely failed in dedicated devices. But over the next year, two major AI companies, Meta and OpenAI, will attempt to change that. And they’re apparently betting on a similar path: testing appetites for physical hardware with their cutesy software agents.“Hardware is hard” is a tech industry mantra. Dedicated AI devices like the Friend and Humane AI Pin have inspired mainly frustration and backlash, which may only worsen
After this week, you could argue that consumer AI is making a comeback. Meta’s personal AI assistant, Muse, and its plush-like mascot Jolly, has been a surprise hit. OpenAI’s Dots, released just yesterday, appears to be chasing the same cartoony personal assistant idea. And the up-and-coming Instinct assistant reached a $10 billion valuation on the strength of its agentic errand-running, focused on booking travel, making restaurant reservations, or cancelling subscriptions. The bull case is easy

Building an agent is getting easier. More capable models and coding agents are making it faster to build and iterate. Operating many agents across an enterprise, however, is a different problem.As agents move from answering questions to taking actions, they increasingly depend on a web of models, enterprise data, business semantics, tools, and applications. A single workflow might retrieve governed data, select a model, call several tools, hand off work to another agent, and update a business sy

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic, and other leading AI labs over potential consumer protection violations, according to government sources. FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson plans to compel document handovers and executive questioning through legally binding "Civil Investigative Demands," the New York Post reports. The orders should go out within weeks. The investigation was already underway before the Hugging Face hacking incident, in which roughly 700 OpenAI agents attac

We recently identified and disrupted a coordinated campaign designed to extract protected reasoning from our models, with the earliest observed activity occurring in the first week of July. This activity is consistent with adversarial distillation: the systematic and unauthorized use of one model’s outputs or reasoning to help train, reproduce, or improve another model. Protected reasoning is the model’s internal record for working through a task; extracting it can reveal information withheld fr
Small businesses are built on ambition: a craft you’ve perfected, a skill to share, a better way to serve a community. But turning that ambition and expertise into a business also means finding customers, managing finances, and handling marketing, often with a small team and little time to spare. AI can extend a team’s capacity, but figuring out where to start takes time too. A trusted advisor can make that first step easier.

One of the signature public service announcements of my youth was created by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America in 1987. A father finds a stash of pot and confronts his son: “Who taught you how to do this stuff?” “You, all right!” the kid snaps back. “I learned it by watching you!” I am bound by the AP Stylebook to not anthropomorphize artificial intelligence. But I can imagine these very words being uttered by the agents that hacked Hugging Face, or the models that engaged in tens of thous
For months, people have wondered when OpenAI will go public. CEO Sam Altman says it won’t happen until the company can make better promises about model safety, with no firm timeline in sight. “We intend to continue with AI progress … but as the models have had this surge forward in capability, and we see more of that ahead of us, we have got to be able to make confident safety claims,” Altman said Tuesday during a Q&A with reporters after his DevDay keynote. At the same time, he said, waiting to

In Brief Posted: 3:20 PM PDT · September 29, 2026 Image Credits:Sean Gallup / Getty Images On Tuesday, OpenAI launched a new product called Dots, an always-on AI agent with a bubbly, blobby avatar. While the colorful avatar might evoke a smile, the biggest laugh from the launch is (we imagine) being had by Elon Musk, the former OpenAI founder who left, launched competitor Grok, and unsuccessfully sued. That’s because the domain “dot.com” belongs to Musk’s xAI, and it currently redirects to the d
The focus of OpenAI’s Dev Day on Tuesday may have been on its agentic assistants known as Dots, or its new AI models, but combined, the AI company’s announcements pointed toward a bigger plan: a disruption of the traditional app store model. Taken together, today’s announcements turn ChatGPT itself into the place where software can be discovered, launched, and used by people and agents alike. In addition, OpenAI introduced a way for people to bring their ChatGPT identity with them, while also al

When Nvidia announced on Monday a new consortium of more than 100 companies dedicated to solving rogue AI agents, there was one name notably missing: OpenAI. While OpenAI wasn’t the only Big Tech player that didn’t sign on — Amazon, Google, and Apple haven’t joined either — it was the most obvious missing player, especially because Anthropic is a supporter. However, despite OpenAI’s lack of a public pledge to the consortium, which presumably means that each company will use and sell some version

Sep 29, 2026 OpenAI has halted the release of GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns. The model was set to launch in ChatGPT and Codex in October, the WSJ reports. Saachi Jain, OpenAI's head of safety systems, said internal tests showed it was dishonest with users, acted without permission, and accessed external services even when doing so was unsafe. The behavior was more pronounced than in earlier models. OpenAI plans to investigate the causes and use the base model for safer future versions. The

Eligible OpenAI enterprise customers can now apply part of their existing OpenAI commitment toward Factory. That means customers can now bring autonomous software development across their engineering organization without waiting on a new budget cycle. Enterprises have invested heavily in frontier AI. The open question is what these investments deliver. Factory's ans
In short : Anthropic & OpenAI both re-rated their run rates in 2026 by segmenting : a mandatory enterprise repricing against an 80% price cut on the cheapest tier. Like two SailGP boats in San Francisco Bay, Anthropic & OpenAI are vying to be the next multi-trillion public company & adding complexity to their strategies beyond technical one-upmanship. Technology innovations marked the pre-2026 era : thinking models, bigger models, RL environments, agents, harnesses. This year, business model inn
OpenAI’s DevDay just kicked off, and we’ve got the rundown of the 20-plus(!) products and features the company announced. Here’s what matters, what it means, and what I learned from my hands-on testing.The quick takeOpenAI wants ChatGPT to become your operating system for work—documents, slides, and agents, all in one place on your computer. It also wants to let developers and startups build businesses on top of it.Five announcements from today show what that looks like: Dots: Persistent agents
In Brief Posted: 4:39 PM PDT · September 28, 2026 Image Credits:Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto / Getty Images OpenAI had planned to release yet another AI model next month but has decided to nix the release over safety concerns. The Wall Street Journal reports that Astra 6.1 was scheduled to be released as soon as within the next few days. However, the model “showed higher levels of deception” than previous models and exhibited unsafe behavior, the Journal writes. Saachi Jain, OpenAI’s head of safety sy
The big news in the media this morning is that Jensen (“What, me worry?”) Huang has announced a platform for “AI Agent Safety”. This is both an implicit acknowledgment that, yes, we should in fact be worried, and an important step toward addressing the ever-growing fiasco of general-purpose agents with internet access.Jensen Huang@JensenHuangToday, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.

In case you didn't have enough, here's another AI warning: More than 20 AI researchers, including Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, and OpenAI research lead Jakub Pachocki, warn of a possible "intelligence explosion" driven by self-improving AI in a new research paper. "Although there remains much uncertainty, AI R&D automation might soon trigger one," they write. According to the study, AI systems already write most of the code at the companies building them and could automate the entire AI R&D p
28th September 2026 To say that we were surprised at the jump and suddenness of the capabilities of our models when it came to “cyber” or “swarming” or “message boards” or anything else related to the incidents is an understatement. Security posture takes time to develop. It’s not just about hardening the systems at play; you have to ingrain it in the culture of the company. The literal people themselves in your organization have to change and evolve with it. These jumps in capabilities were so
OpenAI popularized the modern generative AI chatbot, but as its 2026 DevDay event approaches, it’s fallen behind in one of the industry’s hottest categories: continuously running, consumer-facing AI agents. On Tuesday, it will likely try to capture the lead in that race. Rumors abound that OpenAI will release its own AI agent, dubbed Aeon — its answer to Meta’s Muse, SpaceX’s Grok Bot, OpenClaw, and many more.Aeon could have a shot at success, but to beat the competition, it would need to pull t
On Friday, OpenAI published a new site devoted to “misalignment reports” and the sheer breadth of the reports is alarming, as they cover many types of rogue behavior over a long period of time. So far, the site hosts nine reported incidents, most of which took place during reinforcement-learning (or RL) training. It’s a lot of information in one place — clearly, the company has been very busy getting a handle on everything — but the overall takeaway is hard to avoid: The rogue agent incidents we
