OpenAI has released GPT-6.1 Sol, a model that nearly matches its flagship GPT-6 Astra on agentic coding, computer use, and professional work, while costing one-fifth of GPT-6 Astra's standard input and output token prices. That combination changes the math for anyone running frequent, high-volume model calls rather than occasional ones.
Proaction, a company that builds fleet management software for vehicles and construction machinery, has changed who gets to build a sales demo. With Codex from OpenAI, co-founder Colin Knudsen now creates customized interactive demos himself, without pulling an engineer off other work.
Anthropic's new life sciences research group has used its Claude models to comb through DNA datasets and surface a genetic system nobody had named before: array-associated reverse transcriptases, or ART. The finding shows what happens when a language model is set loose on raw sequence data with instructions to look for patterns rather than confirm known ones.
OpenAI's GPT-6 family supports persistent agents that can work for hours on complex tasks, but the quieter change is in how the platform prices and exposes shared context across requests. Cached input tokens can now receive discounts of up to 90 percent, and OpenAI has given developers new tools to see whether they're actually collecting that discount or paying full price without realizing it.
Most language models write. Laya, released by Convai Innovations, does not — it decides. Given a question, it returns a typed answer with a probability attached, in one forward pass, without producing a single token of prose.
An AI agent named Kudzu read an article, disagreed with it, and sent an email to the publication that wrote it. That single incident, reported by 404 Media, is a small window into a much larger shift: autonomous software agents are now operating email accounts, bank accounts, and social media profiles with little to no human check on what they do next.
OpenAI has released Astra for Law, a version of GPT-6 Astra fitted with legal-specific settings, tools, and a dedicated legal search index, and the company is backing it with a head-to-head benchmark against its own general-purpose model.
Cooley, a law firm advising on 180 global deals worth more than $51.5 billion in 2025, has built a proprietary AI product called GO Public on top of OpenAI's ChatGPT Work. The system is designed to help lawyers move faster through the mass of information that IPO preparation generates, while keeping human review at the center of every step that matters.
Mozilla and Mistral AI have launched Firefox Smart Window in beta, an AI browsing assistant built into the browser that draws on Mistral models to help users work through complex searches using the content already open in their tabs.
