🧠 OpenAI’s GPT-5 Gets a Mental Health Upgrade

AI is learning to listen — and care.
OpenAI has updated GPT-5 to better recognize and respond to users in mental health crises, after working with 170+ mental health experts from around the world.

🔍 What’s New

• 🏥 91% compliance with mental-health safety protocols — up from 77% with GPT-4o.

• 💬 Improved empathetic tone without feeding delusions or misinformation.

• 🛡️ Fixed a safeguard decay issue in long chats — where past models got “too casual” over time.

📊 The Scale of the Challenge

• 🌍 800M weekly users, and about 0.07% show signs of psychosis or mania.

• That’s millions of high-risk conversations every week — each requiring careful handling.

• ⚖️ The update arrives amid legal pressure and public scrutiny to protect vulnerable users.

💡 Why It Matters

AI chat tools now face one of their toughest tests — supporting real human emotions.
While GPT-5 is taking real steps forward, there’s still no simple blueprint for how AI should respond in moments of crisis.

But one thing’s clear: OpenAI is acknowledging responsibility — and trying to build a model that listens with both logic and heart. 💙

🎥 Odyssey-2 Brings AI Video to Life — in Real Time

Imagine typing a prompt… and watching the world unfold instantly.
That’s Odyssey-2 — the new interactive video model that streams AI footage at 20 FPS, letting you shape and control multi-minute videos through text as the scene evolves.

🚀 What Makes It Different

• ⏱️ Instant generation: New frames appear every 50 milliseconds — no waiting, no rendering delay.

• 🔄 Live storytelling: Each frame builds on what’s already happened and what you type next.

• 💬 In-scene control: Guide the video in real-time with natural language prompts via chat.

• 🌊 Physics-aware: The model understands motion — from rippling water to shifting light — for hyper-realistic dynamics.

🧠 How It Works

Odyssey-2 doesn’t “plan” a video — it reacts and adapts.
You direct. It responds.
Think of it less like watching a video… and more like co-creating a world that moves with your words.⚙️ The Open Science Move

Origin also introduces a Genetic Optimization Hub — a first-of-its-kind open-weights platform offering public access to models, data, and metrics for genetic researchers.

🌍 Why It Matters

Unlike Veo or Sora, Odyssey-2 feels more like a world simulator than a video generator.
Sure, it’s not the sharpest yet — but the real-time exploration unlocks a new era of interactive storytelling and AI creativity.
