Shopping for groceries may be the next everyday task to disappear into a chat window as on December 8, OpenAI and Instacart announced a new grocery shopping experience built directly into ChatGPT, letting customers brainstorm meal ideas, generate a grocery list, browse items, and complete checkout without leaving the conversation.  Instead of hopping between recipe sites, notes apps, and a delivery service, the pitch is one continuous flow: ask what to cook, get suggestions,

ChatGPT users who pay for premium tiers recently found themselves doing a double take when the chatbot began surfacing “app suggestions” mid conversation that looked a lot like ads.  Screenshots shared by Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscribers showed promotional style messages pointing to recognizable brands like Peloton and Target, prompting a blunt question: why does a paid AI service appear to be selling something while you are trying to work?. As complaints spread, OpenAI

OpenAI appears poised to accelerate the release of its next major ChatGPT model as the competition in generative AI tightens.  According to reporting cited by multiple outlets, OpenAI plans to unveil GPT 5.2 this week, earlier than its original late December target, after CEO Sam Altman reportedly declared a “code red” internally in response to Google’s Gemini 3 launch last month (TechBuzz). While OpenAI has not publicly confirmed unreleased product timelines, the company ty

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly exploring an unusually literal way to scale artificial intelligence: putting parts of its computing infrastructure in space.  According to reporting summarized by multiple outlets, Altman has shown interest in building a space oriented business not to pursue Mars colonization, but to support AI data centers that could draw abundant solar energy and potentially reduce the environmental burden that earthbound facilities create (Smith; “Sam A

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new large language model codenamed “Garlic,” a move that signals just how quickly the competitive balance in AI can shift.  According to reporting based on The Information, OpenAI’s Chief Research Officer Mark Chen told colleagues the model has been testing strongly inside the company, especially on coding and reasoning tasks, where it was described as performing well against Google’s Gemini 3 and Anthropic’s Opus 4.5. (Bakolia; “OpenAI De

OpenAI’s viral chatbot is approaching a major shift, as new leaks strongly suggest that ChatGPT will soon include advertising across its platform.  The discovery arrives just after ChatGPT’s third anniversary, a milestone that highlights the chatbot’s extraordinary rise since late 2022, when it went mainstream and rapidly accumulated hundreds of millions of users (Yahoo). With an estimated 800 million people using ChatGPT today, most of them on the free tier, the introductio

The artificial intelligence hardware market has long been defined by Nvidia’s dominance, but new developments from Qualcomm and Alphabet suggest the landscape may be shifting.  With a market cap exceeding $4.4 trillion, Nvidia has reached a level of influence rivalled historically only by corporations built to run colonial trade empires. Its GPUs became the gold standard not just for gaming and crypto mining, but also for powering the deep-learning boom thanks to a combinati

Intuit’s new multimillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI marks a significant step in the fusion of artificial intelligence with mainstream financial services, bringing some of the industry’s most widely used tax and financial tools directly into ChatGPT. Announced as a multiyear agreement valued at more than $100 million, the deal opens the door for Intuit’s major products, TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma and Mailchimp, to operate natively within ChatGPT, offering users a

A German court has ruled that OpenAI’s popular chatbot, ChatGPT, violated copyright law by using song lyrics from well-known musicians to train its language models, a decision that could have wide-ranging consequences for how artificial intelligence systems handle creative works. The Munich regional court sided with Germany’s music rights society GEMA, which represents around 100,000 composers, lyricists, and music publishers, finding that OpenAI’s models had ingested protect
