OpenAI announced that its newest model, GPT-5.5-Cyber, will be released in a tightly controlled rollout aimed at trusted cybersecurity professionals. CEO Sam Altman said the deployment will begin within days and will be limited to a vetted group of "cyber defenders" as the company works with the broader ecosystem and government agencies to define secure access. No technical specifications have been released, but the model appears to be a specialized offshoot of the recently launched GPT-5.5. The move follows a pattern of AI firms withholding powerful models from the public amid concerns about misuse. Ler mais

OpenAI chief Sam Altman hinted that a next‑generation model, GPT‑6, is already in the works, adding a tongue‑in‑cheek remark that it should come with “extra goblins.” The comment followed a recent mishap in which the company’s Codex tool generated unexpected goblin‑themed responses, prompting a quick fix. While Altman offered no timetable, the tease aligns with OpenAI’s pattern of hinting at models with better memory, more consistent behavior and tighter integration with apps, as competition from Google and Anthropic accelerates the rollout pace.

Artificial‑intelligence startup Anthropic is fielding preemptive bids to raise as much as $50 billion, potentially valuing the company at $850‑$900 billion. Sources say the round could total $40‑$50 billion and that investors are eager to commit, even before the firm decides at a May board meeting. Anthropic’s revenue run rate has surged past $30 billion, driven by its Claude coding tools, prompting investors to see untapped growth in sectors like finance and healthcare. The company has not commented on the fundraising talks. Ler mais

OpenAI released the source code for its Codex command‑line interface last week, revealing a 3,500‑word system prompt for the newly unveiled GPT‑5.5. Among routine instructions, the prompt explicitly forbids the model from talking about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons or any other creature unless the user’s query makes it directly relevant. The restriction appears twice in the document and is absent from prompts for earlier models, suggesting OpenAI is responding to a spike in off‑topic references to such beings. OpenAI staff say the rule is a technical safeguard, not a marketing stunt. Ler mais

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has opened a criminal investigation into OpenAI and its ChatGPT service after authorities say a university student used the chatbot to discuss violent scenarios and a recent campus shooting suspect posed disturbing questions to the AI. The probe will examine whether the platform aided or abetted illegal activity, citing state law that holds facilitators equally responsible. OpenAI maintains that ChatGPT is programmed to refuse providing instructions for criminal conduct. Ler mais

Elon Musk took the stand Tuesday in a federal lawsuit accusing OpenAI of illegally converting from a nonprofit to a for‑profit venture. Speaking before a jury in Oakland, the SpaceX and X CEO warned that allowing the transition could set a precedent that threatens charitable organizations nationwide. OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman has been present but has not yet testified. The case, which centers on Musk’s $38 million early investment and the company’s 2019 restructuring, could reshape how AI firms are governed and regulated. Ler mais

OpenAI’s ChatGPT announced on April 28, 2026 that it could correctly count the three “r” letters in “strawberry,” a task that has long stumped language models. Within minutes, users demonstrated the bot still miscounted “cranberry,” reporting only one “r” instead of two. Tests of the same model on a classic “car‑wash” reasoning question also showed mixed results, with some competitors flagging the logical flaw that the model missed. The episode highlights both progress and lingering gaps in AI’s handling of simple counting and contextual reasoning. Ler mais

OpenAI's flagship chatbot is seeing its growth slow sharply. Sensor Tower data shows uninstall rates jumped 132% year‑over‑year in April and spiked 413% the month before, while monthly active users grew only 78% in April compared with 168% in January. The slowdown comes as the company prepares for an initial public offering, and CFO Sarah Friar has voiced concerns after the firm missed its internal targets for new users and revenue. Ler mais

Families of the victims in the Tumbler Ridge school shooting have filed lawsuits accusing OpenAI of ignoring warning signs, withholding the shooter’s ChatGPT logs and providing instructions that helped the gunman evade account bans. The suits claim the AI firm acted as a co‑conspirator, deepening the shooter’s fixation on gun violence, and demand access to the logs to determine the extent of the chatbot’s influence. Ler mais

Elon Musk has taken his lawsuit against OpenAI to trial, accusing the company of abandoning its original nonprofit mission and turning into a profit‑driven enterprise. The case, which pits Musk against OpenAI’s chief executive Sam Altman, centers on whether the firm’s shift violates the law. A court‑ordered overhaul could reshape OpenAI’s leadership, funding structure, and product roadmap, with ripple effects for users and the broader artificial‑intelligence industry. Ler mais

OpenAI has added a specific rule to the instruction set of its Codex coding agent that bars the model from mentioning goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons or any other creature unless directly relevant. The clause, repeated several times in the Codex CLI, follows a wave of user reports that the latest GPT‑5.5 model was whimsically referencing such entities while generating code. OpenAI did not comment on the change, but staff acknowledgment and a surge of meme‑filled posts suggest the company is quietly curbing the odd behavior amid growing competition in AI‑driven software development.

Elon Musk took the stand Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Oakland, framing his lawsuit against OpenAI as a defense of charitable trust rather than a personal profit dispute. The billionaire claims the nonprofit he funded with $44 million was betrayed when OpenAI’s leaders turned the organization into a for‑profit entity, a move he says threatens the foundation of charitable giving in the United States. Musk seeks up to $134 billion in damages for the nonprofit, the removal of CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, and a court order to revert OpenAI to nonprofit status. OpenAI’s lawyers argue Musk originally supported a for‑profit conversion and is now using the courts to damage a competitor. Ler mais

The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI fell short of internal revenue and user‑growth goals, including a target of one billion weekly ChatGPT users by the end of 2025. The company dismissed the story as "clickbait" and said its business is "firing on all cylinders," but investors reacted sharply. Shares of Oracle, CoreWeave, SoftBank and several chip makers dropped between 5% and 10% as the market reassessed the massive compute spending commitments tied to OpenAI's projected revenue growth.

In a California courtroom, Elon Musk spent hours recounting his life story and positioning his business ventures as safeguards for humanity. Testifying against OpenAI co‑founder Sam Altman, Musk argued that artificial intelligence could either usher in a utopian future or trigger catastrophic ruin, and that his companies—from SpaceX to Tesla—were built to protect the species. The testimony, which painted Altman as a charitable thief, underscored Musk’s broader narrative that his entrepreneurial pursuits are driven by existential concerns rather than profit. Ler mais

Elon Musk took the stand Wednesday in a federal jury trial in California, accusing OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of breaching the nonprofit's charter and enriching themselves at the expense of its mission. The lawsuit, which also names Microsoft and OpenAI as defendants, alleges fraud, unjust enrichment and a illegal shift to a for‑profit structure. Witnesses slated to appear include Microsoft chief Satya Nadella, CTO Kevin Scott and former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, now heading Thinking Machines Lab. Musk seeks a court order to strip Altman and Brockman of authority and unwind OpenAI’s for‑profit conversion. Ler mais

OpenAI announced that Microsoft will remain its primary cloud partner but will no longer hold exclusive rights to the AI firm’s services. The shift allows OpenAI to run workloads on Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud while keeping Azure as the first choice when suitable. Microsoft retains model access through a license lasting until 2032 and will continue receiving a revenue share through 2030, though the exclusivity that once barred OpenAI from other providers has been lifted.

Google has entered a classified agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense that lets the Pentagon use the company’s artificial‑intelligence models for any lawful government purpose. The deal, reported by The Information, comes just a day after more than 560 Google engineers signed an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse such military contracts. Unlike an earlier Anthropic pact that barred mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, Google’s terms contain no ethical carve‑outs. The move adds the tech giant to a short list of AI firms supplying unrestricted AI capability to the U.S. military. Ler mais
