One developer measured roughly 37 TB written to their SSD in just 21 days of running OpenAI’s Codex, which extrapolates to about 640 TB per year. That is a problem because a typical 1 TB consumer SSD is rated for around 600 TBW of total lifetime writes, so left unchecked the Codex SSD bug could […]

Moonshot AI published the full Kimi K3 weights on July 27, 2026, eleven days after the model went live in the Kimi app. The Hugging Face repository carries 96 safetensors shards totalling roughly 1.56 TB. At 2.8 trillion total parameters, with 104 billion active per token, K3 is the largest open model anyone has released. […]

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Work on July 9, 2026, and it turns ChatGPT from a chat window into an agent that finishes real projects on its own. Instead of answering a question and stopping, ChatGPT Work takes a brief, works in the background for minutes or even hours, and hands you a finished file: a spreadsheet, […]

OpenAI is shutting down ChatGPT Atlas, its standalone AI browser, on August 9, 2026, less than a year after it launched. The company confirmed the sunset on July 9, and if you built Atlas into your daily workflow on Mac, your bookmarks, history, and saved passwords will not carry over automatically. You have until that […]

OpenAI just published its prompting playbook for GPT-5.6, and the headline finding upends how most people write prompts. In OpenAI’s own testing, stripping repeated instructions out of a system prompt raised evaluation scores by roughly 10 to 15% while cutting total tokens by 41 to 66% and cost by 33 to 67%. The giant rule […]

OpenAI made GPT-5.6 public on July 9, 2026, and it is now the most capable ChatGPT model you can actually run. The flagship Sol tier scores 88.8% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (and 91.9% in its Sol Ultra high-effort mode), edging GPT-5.5’s own 88.0% on the same agentic-coding test, and it ships alongside two cheaper tiers, Terra […]

OpenAI launched GPT-Live, the new ChatGPT Live voice, on July 8, 2026, and it quietly replaced the Advanced Voice Mode you have been using for the past two years. The headline change is technical but you will feel it in the first ten seconds. GPT-Live is full-duplex, which means it can listen and speak at […]

GPT-5.6 has been generally available since July 9, 2026, the day OpenAI ended a two-week lockdown that had limited the model to roughly 20 US-government-vetted organizations. The US Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation completed its review and cleared wider access to all three models in the family, Sol, Terra, and Luna. So […]

Claude hit #1 on the App Store free chart on February 28, 2026, pushing ChatGPT out of the top spot for the first time. The catalyst was Anthropic refusing the Pentagon’s demand to strip the guardrails off Claude for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. The administration then told federal agencies to stop buying Anthropic products, […]

Yes, ChatGPT is free, and on August 6, 2026 OpenAI announced changes that make the free plan dramatically better. The free tier is moving to GPT-5.6 Luna as its default model this week, and from the week of 10 August 2026 OpenAI is removing text message limits entirely, retiring the roughly 10 messages every 5 […]
