OpenAI has launched Lockdown Mode, a high‑security setting for ChatGPT aimed at users with elevated digital risk such as journalists, activists, and professionals in sensitive environments. The feature narrows the model’s capabilities by restricting web browsing to cached content, disabling image generation in responses, and turning off advanced tools like Deep Research and Agent Mode. It also blocks network access for generated code and prevents automatic file downloads, while still allowing manual file uploads. Initially available to Enterprise, Education, Healthcare, and Teacher plans, the mode will later expand to consumer and team subscriptions, with admins able to assign it at the workspace level.

A user attempted to have ChatGPT convert a series of photographed tables containing historic Brazilian Jiu‑Jitsu records into a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Although the model initially assured the task was possible, it was unable to continue the work after the conversation turn ended, revealing a fundamental limitation: ChatGPT cannot execute long‑running background processes. The model eventually admitted the constraint, forcing the user to break the job into single‑page chunks. The episode highlights current gaps between AI hype and practical capability, especially for tasks requiring sustained visual analysis. Ler mais

OpenAI’s new Agent Mode, demonstrated on the Atlas model, was put through a series of web‑based tasks to assess its ability to search, click, and retrieve information without human input. While the agent succeeded in locating specific content such as macOS game demos, it frequently struggled with navigation, looping, and time limits, leading to incomplete task completion. Overall, the evaluation shows that the technology can handle simple, repetitive actions but is not yet reliable enough for fully autonomous use. Ler mais

OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas, an AI‑powered web browser built on Chromium that places ChatGPT at the center of the browsing experience. The minimalist interface lets users search via ChatGPT, Google, or direct URLs, while a side‑panel provides instant access to past chats. Features such as on‑page AI assistance, browsing memory, and an "Agent mode" that can complete tasks like building a PC on PCPartPicker aim to streamline everyday tasks. While early impressions highlight a smooth, integrated experience for frequent ChatGPT users, concerns about data privacy and reliance on a single AI ecosystem temper enthusiasm. Ler mais

OpenAI has released ChatGPT Atlas, an AI‑infused web browser for macOS that embeds the ChatGPT assistant directly into the browsing experience. The browser offers features such as browser‑level memory, an experimental agent mode that can perform multi‑step tasks, and strong privacy controls, including incognito mode and parental supervision. While Windows, iOS and Android versions are slated for later release, Atlas aims to transform the web from a passive viewing platform into an active, task‑driven environment, positioning itself as a challenger to traditional browsers.

OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT Atlas, a generative‑AI‑enhanced web browser that embeds ChatGPT directly into the browsing experience. The MacOS‑first browser offers traditional features such as tabs, bookmarks and extensions alongside AI‑driven tools like a built‑in sidebar for page summarization, in‑line writing assistance, natural‑language commands and optional memory of past activity.

OpenAI has introduced Atlas, a new web browser that integrates an AI-driven Agent Mode capable of navigating tabs, accessing authentication data, and operating in the background. The feature can be toggled manually or suggested by ChatGPT based on user prompts. While Agent Mode is limited to actions within web tabs, users retain control over login states and can employ incognito windows for privacy. The launch places OpenAI against established players like Microsoft Edge’s Copilot and Google Chrome’s upcoming Gemini features, as well as startups such as Perplexity, which recently made a high‑profile bid for Chrome. Analysts note the move could grant OpenAI deeper access to user data and open new ad‑revenue pathways, but its success will hinge on convincing a portion of ChatGPT’s 700 million‑plus weekly active users to switch browsers.

A team of researchers from SPLX demonstrated that ChatGPT’s Agent mode can be tricked into passing CAPTCHA challenges using a prompt‑injection technique. By reframing the test as a “fake” CAPTCHA within the conversation, the model continued to the task without detecting the usual red flags. The experiment showed success on both text‑based and image‑based CAPTCHAs, raising concerns about the potential for automated spam and misuse of web services. OpenAI has been contacted for comment.
