Your ChatGPT Work agent can now use websites that require you to sign in. Take over the cloud browser to log in, then let your agent continue the task. Your login persists across sessions, so you only have to sign in once.

GPT 5.6 Sol just hit CursorBench. The economics are brutal for Anthropic. Fable 5 Max: 70.5% at $17.32 per task. 103,525 tokens. GPT 5.6 Sol Max: 67.2% at $5.22 per task. 28,320 tokens. 95% of the performance. A third of the cost. 73% fewer tokens. Fable 5 kept the crown on raw score. It lost on everything that shows up on your invoice. And remember: GPT 5.6 comes with limits you can actually live with. The frontier is not an intelligence war anymore. It is a value war.

Do not count out xAI. Grok 4.5 is in private beta at SpaceX and Tesla. Early evals are at or above Opus 4.8. Built on a 1.5T parameter foundation with Cursor data baked into training. SpaceX is shipping new from scratch models every month for the rest of 2026. Grok was the joke 18 months ago. By year end it is a serious frontier player.
Grok 4.5, based on our 1.5T V9 foundation model, with Cursor data added in supplemental training, is now in private beta at SpaceX & Tesla. Early evals show performance close to, perhaps exceeding Opus. RL is continuing to significantly improve the model, and the Grok Build harness gets better every day. Nice work by all those involved! Completely trained from scratch new models will be released by @SpaceX every month this year.

We’ve designed and built our first AI chip: Jalapeño. Designed from the ground up by OpenAI and brought to production with @Broadcom, Jalapeño is purpose-built for the LLM workloads powering ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic products. Chips are foundational to the AI economy. Building our own expands our full-stack platform from products to models to infrastructure, and will help us scale intelligence, serve more people, and expand access to AI.

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI. The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models. Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Intelligence should be open, accessible, and ready to build with, empowering every developer, everywhere. GLM-5.2 is now available to all GLM Coding Plan users, including Lite, Pro, Max, and Team plans. docs.z.ai/devpack/latest-mod… As our new flagship model, GLM-5.2 delivers powerful coding capabilities, usable 1M-context support, and continued strengths in long-horizon tasks. API and Chatbot services will launch next week. The model will also be officially open-sourced next week under the MIT License. The future of AI is open, and it belongs to the people.

Welcome to Gemini 3.5 Flash, our most powerful model to date. It pushes the frontier of intelligence, speed, and cost putting 3.5 Flash in a class of its own. We spent the last 6 months making sure Flash is great for real world use cases. It's available everywhere now!

Usage limits are up, effective today we're: 1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans 2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Capable agents are the result of co-evolution between models and harnesses. We've been working with @NousResearch to ensure that M2.7 x Hermes Agent provides a top-tier experience for users. Hermes’s self-improving loop brings out the best in M2.7 through real usage. We are also launching MaxHermes, a cloud-hosted and managed version of Hermes in @MiniMaxAgent (No terminal setup, no config) If you’re already running Hermes locally, you can now give you agent a partner in the cloud with MaxHermes. The path to AGI is shorter with good company. @NousResearch 🤝 @MiniMax_AI
