Key points
1
OpenAI launched GPT-4.5 Instant as the new default ChatGPT model — more concise, personalized, and available to all users including free tier.
2
Three new OpenAI Realtime voice models debuted (GPT Realtime 2, Realtime Translate, Realtime Whisper), currently API-only but demoed with impressive live translation across 70+ languages and background listening mode.
3
Anthropic signed a compute deal with SpaceX and committed $200 billion to Google Cloud to raise Claude usage limits, despite Elon Musk having publicly attacked Anthropic as recently as March 2025.
4
Explosive text messages between Mira Murati and Sam Altman during the 2023 OpenAI board crisis were revealed in the Musk trial, showing real-time chaos including Altman offering to walk away and a suggestion that Microsoft acquire OpenAI.
5
Anthropic introduced a 'dreaming' feature for managed agents — a scheduled background process that reviews past sessions, extracts patterns, and restructures memory to improve agents over time.

Developers can access the new OpenAI Realtime voice models now at platform.openai.com/audio/realtime using API credits, ahead of expected ChatGPT integration.

Marketers should check how their brand appears in AI search tools using HubSpot AEO (28-day free trial), as AI-driven product discovery is increasingly influencing purchasing decisions.
→
Claude users hitting usage limits should see relief soon following Anthropic's SpaceX and Google Cloud compute deals.
→
Codex now supports a Chrome plugin on Mac and Windows for browser automation, though it was still buggy on launch day.
