A ChatGPT Pro upgrade screen and OpenAI’s own web code both name the company’s next product: “o, your always-on assistant”. We checked the code ourselves. This article sets out what leaked and when, what the evidence says o would do, which Pro plans include it, the Codex Persistent mode work behind it, how it compares with Muse, Grok Bot and Conway, and the risks businesses should plan for before DevDay.
Tom’s Guide tested ChatGPT-6 and Claude Opus 5.5 on everyday prompts and split seven common jobs between them: Claude for planning, decisions, writing and analysis, ChatGPT-6 for structured plans, learning and quick questions. This article sets out the scorecard and the five prompts behind it, explains what “ChatGPT-6” really is inside ChatGPT, where GPT-6 Sol and Luna sit on each plan, what Claude and ChatGPT cost, and how to route everyday work between them.
OpenAI told a federal court in Texas on 22 September 2026 that Apple’s integration of ChatGPT into Siri was “dramatically underperforming” by the summer of 2025 and “persistently underperforming” by March 2026, consistent with its internal view that Apple Intelligence saw minimal usage. The admission sits in OpenAI’s summary judgment brief in the antitrust case brought by Elon Musk’s X Corp. and SpaceXAI. This article covers what the 59-page filing says, what its redactions hide, why the opt-in integration struggled, how Gemini, Anthropic and xAI grew regardless, and what comes next for the case and for ChatGPT inside Apple’s new Siri AI.
A world-first study from JAIST and Waseda University tested ChatGPT’s urban design advice for health against four ethical criteria. It avoided harm in all 180 answers and treated poorer areas fairly, but community participation and human oversight dropped sharply under a budget constraint. We explain the findings and how planners should use AI advice.
Google is reported to be building Apple Messages access into the Gemini desktop app, twenty-seven days after OpenAI shipped the same capability for ChatGPT on macOS. We read the report, Google’s own Gemini for Mac documentation, the ChatGPT plugin coverage and the privacy reaction to it, and set out the four macOS permissions such a feature depends on, the consent problem it creates for everyone on the other end of a thread, and the configuration profile that blocks it before it ships.
Humeo opened the Videoclaw public beta on 16 September 2026: a macOS desktop video agent that is free to install, ships with ten dollars of AI generation credit, and requires you to connect your own ChatGPT or Claude account before it will do anything. This article counts the three credit tiers and their caps, walks the five-stage chat-to-download workflow, sorts the nineteen launch templates by format, reads the hiring page for the roadmap, and separates this product from the unrelated web platform Medeo shipped under the same name six days earlier.
The New Mexico Supreme Court held Santa Fe defence lawyer Stephen Aarons in contempt, fined him $5,000 and removed him from a life-sentence murder appeal after his ChatGPT-assisted brief quoted four witnesses who do not exist and three who never said what it claimed. We read the 9 September order as quoted by the outlets that saw it, the 21 August hearing coverage, the trial record behind the appeal, and the 2,039-case AI hallucination database, and counted where this case departs from the fake-citation cases that came before it.
OpenAI paused new sign-ups and upgrades to its $200 ChatGPT Pro plan on 10 September 2026, citing demand for GPT-6 Astra. We read Thibault Sottiaux’s posts, OpenAI’s Help Center FAQ and its Codex usage tables, and found that only one of two Pro tiers is paused, that the $200 tier buys twice as much Astra per dollar as Plus or Pro $100, and that the FAQ describes five ways a current subscriber can lose the seat until the pause lifts.
Google released the Gemini app for Windows on 10 September 2026, built around an Alt + Space shortcut that opens Gemini over any window. We read Google’s download page, Help Center and Spark support pages alongside Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s shortcut documentation and the first hands-on reviews, and found six claimants on the same keys, three Mac features Windows does not get yet, and a Spark agent Google’s own support page does not list for Windows or offer in the UK.
The Seattle Times Company and Newsday LLC sued OpenAI, eight affiliated OpenAI entities and Microsoft Corporation on 4 September 2026 in the Southern District of New York, docketed as No. 1:26-cv-07644. The 38-page complaint pleads seven counts — direct and vicarious copyright infringement, two DMCA claims over stripped copyright management information, and federal, Washington and New York trademark dilution — and asks the court to destroy the training datasets and models built on the plaintiffs’ journalism. This is a working read of the filing: the datasets named, the 88-word Boeing 737 MAX passage a model returned verbatim, the 47% referral traffic collapse behind the harm claim, the $300 million licensing market the plaintiffs were left out of, and where the case sits against the consolidated New York Times litigation that reached summary judgment the same day.
