1/ OpenAI is taking on Nvidia with its first custom AI chip: The company, alongside Broadcom, unveiled Jalapeño, a purpose-built inference chip designed to run ChatGPT faster and more efficiently than general-purpose GPUs. OpenAI says the chip delivers industry-leading performance per watt, marking a major step toward reducing its dependence on Nvidia while lowering long-term compute costs.

2/ OpenAI rolls out a new version of GPT-5.5 Instant: The latest version of GPT-5.5 Instant delivers stronger conversational abilities with better intent recognition, context retention, instruction following, and adaptation to user feedback. The update also improves shopping and local recommendations, making conversations feel more natural and personalized.

3/ Claude Fable 5 is back and rollout is going on slowly: New Claude Code references, ongoing White House negotiations, a federal lawsuit, and mounting congressional pressure all point to Fable 5 and Mythos moving closer to public availability. The models have remained offline since U.S. export restrictions forced Anthropic to suspend global access, but recent developments suggest a phased rollout may already be underway. Google has a GitHub repo to try it locally.

4/ Google is bringing AI agents directly to your computer: The company introduced native computer-use capabilities for Gemini 3.5 Flash, enabling the model to navigate desktop interfaces by clicking, scrolling, typing, and interacting with applications through continuous screenshots. The upgrade makes it easier for developers to build AI agents that can automate real-world computer tasks across different software.
