On Friday, 10 July 2026, Apple sued OpenAI in federal court in the Northern District of California, accusing the ChatGPT maker of stealing its trade secrets to build a rival AI device. Apple alleges the theft ran, in its words, “at every level, from members of its Technical Staff to its Chief Hardware Officer”. The […]

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 shipped GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026, and DeepSeek countered with V4 Pro and V4 Flash the very next day.

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 […]

OpenAI began the broad public rollout of GPT-5.6 on July 9, 2026, two weeks after the model first shipped as a locked-down preview to roughly 20 US-government-vetted organizations. The launch comes after the US Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation completed its review and cleared wider access to the three models in the […]

Claude hit #1 on the App Store in early 2026, pushing ChatGPT out of the top spot for the first time. The catalyst was Anthropic publicly refusing the Pentagon’s demand to deploy its models for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, after which the government labelled Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” The backlash flipped the script: […]

Yes, ChatGPT is free. Anyone can use it at no cost on the web and in the iPhone and Android apps, and the free plan is permanent rather than a short trial. As of 2026 the free tier runs on GPT-5.5 Instant, OpenAI’s fast everyday model, with a cap of roughly 10 messages every 5 […]
