GPT-Live replaces ChatGPT's old voice mode with a full-duplex model that can listen and respond simultaneously, no more awkward turn-taking. It's rolling out globally now: GPT-Live-1 for paid tiers, a mini version for Free.
Powered by Gemini Omni, the feature relights scenes, swaps backgrounds, and applies artistic templates to ordinary phone videos in one tap. It's currently gated to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in select markets.
Microsoft flipped GPT-5.6 on across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Chat, and Cowork just a day after OpenAI's public release. No setup needed, Copilot just gets sharper at everyday office work.
Instead of answering in text, ChatGPT Work researches, pulls from connected files and apps, and hands back a finished spreadsheet, deck, or website. It launched alongside a new desktop app that folds Chat, Work, and Codex into one interface.
Eight agents built on OpenAI and Anthropic models classify markets into four regimes and reallocate accordingly. The best-performing system topped a traditional 60/40 mix by 0.7 points a year with lower volatility, a real signal that agentic investing is moving past the demo stage.
Morgan Stanley, UBS, BNY, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs are giving agents system access, managers, and performance reviews as they take on real trading and wealth-management work. Regulators are watching closely as these agents get closer to production systems.
A new survey shows just over half of US banks are testing autonomous agents for wealth management, trading, and client service. Execs say the edge isn't just cost savings, it's speed: approving a small-business loan in minutes instead of weeks.
The bank built two custom agents on nCino's Agentic Operating System, now live inside its commercial lending workflow. A concrete case of a mid-size bank moving past pilot mode into real deployment.
SpaceXAI's new model targets Opus-class performance at a fraction of the cost, thanks to real debugging traces and multi-file diffs pulled from Cursor sessions during training. It's live in the xAI API, Grok Build, and Cursor on all plans, priced at $2/$6 per million input/output tokens.
Anthropic pulled Cowork off the desktop-only leash: long-running tasks keep executing even when your device is offline, with continuity across iOS, Android, and web. Rollout started with Max subscribers and expands to other plans over the coming weeks.
After clearing a US government review, OpenAI shipped three models tuned for different jobs, Sol for frontier reasoning, Terra for balanced cost and quality, Luna for cheap high-volume work, undercutting rivals on price across the board.
July's update adds multi-chat agent sessions for comparing approaches in parallel, first-class image and PDF attachments in Copilot Chat, and finer control over where integrated browser tabs open. Small but real quality-of-life wins for anyone running coding agents daily.
