OpenAI is planning to embed its Sora video‑generation model directly within the ChatGPT app, according to a report. The move could revive interest in Sora after its initial launch and potentially boost ChatGPT’s active user base. OpenAI currently charges API customers $0.10 per second for a 720p video and offers 30 free video generations per account per day in the standalone Sora app. The company expects inference costs to exceed $225 billion between 2026 and 2030, prompting a monetization strategy that may include credit purchases for video generation.

Users have noticed that the newest ChatGPT models often end answers with a list of optional follow‑up topics, which feels like clickbait designed to keep the conversation going. The behavior is especially evident after detailed explanations, such as a description of heart‑valve replacement surgery, where the model then suggests additional angles like patient experience, risk, survival rates, and famous cases. While some find the prompts annoying, they can be reduced by adjusting settings on mobile devices or by adding a custom instruction on the web interface. After making these changes, follow‑up suggestions become far less frequent, allowing users to receive clean, focused answers. Read more →

Anthropic announced that its Claude chatbot can now produce charts, diagrams, and other visual aids directly within its responses. The feature, built on HTML and XML vector graphics, functions like a digital whiteboard and is available to all users, free or paid, though it is still in beta and not yet supported on mobile devices. Anthropic emphasizes that the update is not an image‑generation tool and may exhibit some quirks as it rolls out. Read more →

The State Department has removed Anthropic’s Claude model from its internal chatbot after a directive from President Trump. The Treasury and Health & Human Services departments are also ending Claude use, urging staff to adopt ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. Meanwhile, the Senate has approved the use of Gemini, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot for official work, outlining specific tasks for the tools. The changes reflect a broader realignment of AI policy across federal agencies. Read more →

OpenAI is reportedly planning to embed its Sora video‑generation tool directly within ChatGPT, moving the capability from a separate website and app into the main chatbot. The move could draw users back to ChatGPT amid rising competition from Anthropic’s Claude, but it also raises concerns about an increase in deepfake content and potential cost pressures that might affect pricing and ad placements.

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to bring its AI video generator, Sora, into the ChatGPT interface. The move would let users create short video clips from simple text prompts without leaving the chat. Sora, first launched as a standalone app, would remain functional while gaining broader accessibility through ChatGPT. Although no official announcement has been made, insiders say the integration is slated for the near future, positioning OpenAI to compete more aggressively in the text‑to‑video market. Read more →

OpenAI has rolled out a new feature that lets ChatGPT generate interactive visual explanations for a range of scientific and mathematical concepts. Users can adjust variables within the visuals to see real‑time effects, making topics such as the Pythagorean theorem, Coulomb's law, lens equations and Ohm's law more tangible. The tool is available to all ChatGPT users, regardless of subscription level, and is aimed primarily at high‑school and college students. The launch follows the earlier Study Mode, which encouraged learners to reason through problems rather than receive direct answers, signaling OpenAI’s broader push toward educational AI tools.

OpenAI has introduced interactive widgets to ChatGPT that let users manipulate numbers and visual models while exploring math and science concepts. The feature, described as "interactive learning experiences," covers more than 70 topics ranging from algebra and geometry to calculus and physics, targeting high‑school and college courses. Available worldwide to all logged‑in users, the upgrade joins earlier tools like Study Mode and aims to help the 140 million weekly users who turn to ChatGPT for STEM assistance. While supporters see promise for deeper learning, critics warn that AI‑driven homework help could undermine critical thinking. Read more →

Shazam is now built directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to identify songs without opening the separate music‑discovery app. After linking Shazam from the Apps page, users can summon the service with prompts such as “Shazam, what’s playing?” A pop‑up box captures the audio, and ChatGPT returns the song title, artist and artwork, with an option to save it in Shazam. The feature works even if the Shazam app is not installed, and it is rolling out globally on iOS, Android and the web. Read more →

A wave of users is moving from ChatGPT to Anthropic's Claude after OpenAI announced a Pentagon partnership. While Claude has gained popularity, new adopters are surprised by its different interface, stricter usage caps, and tiered model offerings. The free plan is tight, and even the $20 paid plan can run out of capacity quickly on the most powerful Opus model. Anthropic’s business strategy targets higher‑paying business customers rather than mass‑market users, leading to a contrast with OpenAI’s broader approach. The limits spark debate over cost, user experience, and the broader impact of unrestricted AI access. Read more →

OpenAI chief Sam Altman praised the new GPT-5.4 model as his favorite version to converse with, highlighting improvements in personality and coding ability. He also recognized three shortcomings—frontend aesthetic taste, occasional lapses in real‑world context, and incomplete task execution—that the company plans to address. The remarks underscore OpenAI’s shift toward refining how ChatGPT feels to use, not just its raw performance, as it competes with rivals such as Claude, Gemini and Opus. Read more →

UK police have identified a rise in reports of ritual abuse that survivors attribute to referrals from the AI chatbot ChatGPT. Support organizations note an increase in calls over the past 18 months, with victims mentioning the tool as a catalyst for seeking help. Authorities are responding by forming a specialist working group and rolling out training to better handle cases involving witchcraft, spirit possession, and spiritual abuse. Experts caution that many incidents remain unreported, but the integration of AI and police reforms may provide new pathways for victims to receive assistance. Read more →
