OPENAI
OpenAI launches ChatGPT Agent — an AI that thinks, types, browses, and builds
ChatGPT isn’t just chatting anymore — it’s doing.
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Agent — and it gave the AI its own virtual computer.
That means ChatGPT can now plan trips, build websites, write code, browse the web, and even manage your inbox — all by itself.

💻 What happened?
OpenAI gave ChatGPT its own virtual computer.
Now it can:
✅ Plan trips
✅ Write code
✅ Shop online
✅ Build products
✅ Manage Gmail & GitHub
✅ Switch tasks — on its own
⚙️ How it works:
Meet Agent — a blend of tools like Deep Research + Operator.
It autonomously:
🔁 Switches between web, docs, and code
🔌 Connects to APIs & apps
📩 Handles emails, interruptions, and complex workflows
🎯 Executes tasks without step-by-step prompts
📊 How smart is it?
Agent is SOTA-level smart:
🧪 41.6% on “Humanity’s Last Exam”
🧠 Excels in math + real-world tasks
🚨 Flagged “high capability” by OpenAI = strict safety + live monitoring
🔥 Why this matters
This is agentic AI in action.
The kind that thinks, acts, and executes — like a digital COO.
Operator was the warm-up. Agent is the main event.
And it's just the beginning.

Richtech Robotics have unveiled its robotic bartender called Adam that features two hands for the preparation of drink making and AI for customer interaction and recommendations. This robot has been used in various baseball stadiums to make cocktails for customers at the stadium, it is also used in Walmart’s ghost kitchen to prepare coffee and Boba tea and is able to prepare it quickly.
Lightricks just raised the bar for AI video with its latest LTX Video model lets creators generate and direct long-form clips (up to 60 seconds) while streaming in real time. Forget the old “one prompt, one clip” limit: you can now steer the narrative live, adding new prompts as the video renders. It’s built on a 13-billion parameter autoregressive engine but still light enough to run on a single Nvidia H100 or even a decent laptop.
Hume has launched its new speech-to-speech EVI 3 model that goes beyond voice cloning to capture speaking style and language, pushing toward “personality cloning.” Available now via API and demo, EVI 3 can hook into external LLMs like Claude 4 or Gemini 2.5, or run on Hume’s native generation for fast, natural replies. It’s built for AI companions, coaching bots, and real-time interviews, anywhere you need voices to sound truly human.
DuckDuckGo is adding a new privacy-focused option to its search engine: the ability to hide AI-generated images from search results. Users can activate the filter from the Images tab via a drop-down menu labeled “AI images,” or toggle it in the settings under “Hide AI-Generated Images.”
