Meta has used the stage of its inaugural LlamaCon to draw a clear line between its open-source AI philosophy and the more closed, proprietary approach used by OpenAI. At the inaugural LlamaCon, a new event dedicated to developers building with the company’s open-source AI models, Meta has unveiled a series of major product updates and strategic partnerships.
OpenAI has updated ChatGPT's search function to display product suggestions when users make shopping-related queries. According to an official blog post by the company, this feature will provide item recommendations with specifications and purchase links in response to queries that implies shopping intent.
Could OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, soon own Google Chrome? That possibility emerged during Google’s high-stakes antitrust trial in Washington, where an OpenAI executive testified that the AI firm would be interested in acquiring Chrome if regulators force Google to sell the browser as part of efforts to restore competition in online search.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has suggested that users’ politeness toward AI may be having a tangible financial impact, revealing that simple expressions such as "please" and "thank you" could be contributing to electricity costs amounting to tens of millions of dollars.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is developing its own social media platform, according to sources familiar with internal discussions reported by The Verge. While still in the early prototyping stages, the experimental project reportedly features a social feed integrated with ChatGPT's image generation capabilities—potentially positioning OpenAI against rivals like Elon Musk's X and Meta.
OpenAI has recently launched its latest AI models, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano, which the company claims to offer improvements in coding, instruction following, and long-context comprehension. These models are currently only available through OpenAI's API (Application Programming Interface).
Two former OpenAI researchers have joined Thinking Machines Lab, the new artificial intelligence venture launched by ex-OpenAI CTO Mira Murati. Bob McGrew, OpenAI's former chief research officer, and Alec Radford, a key researcher behind the GPT technology, are now advising the startup, as per the company's official website.
Imagine confiding in a chatbot about your bad day, only to end up feeling more alone. New research from OpenAI and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests that while most people use ChatGPT for practical tasks, a small group of heavy users might be trading quick comfort for creeping loneliness—or even emotional dependency.
OpenAI has introduced a new developer tool called the Responses API, designed to simplify and enhance the creation of advanced AI agents. The tool, which replaces the Assistants API, aims to address key challenges developers face when building AI systems, such as managing multi-turn interactions, integrating hosted tools, and handling multiple data types like text, images, and audio.
