FRESH AI NEWS

Altman teases OpenAI hardware over dinner 🤖 

At a dinner with reporters, surrounded by fancy fish and bread rolls, Sam Altman indicated that OpenAI is already looking beyond GPT-5. The company is exploring consumer hardware, apps, and even the potential purchase of Chrome 🤖

• Altman hinted at a future device that he called “so beautiful.” He joked that he'd personally track you down if you covered it with a phone case 🧠

• He confirmed that OpenAI will soon hire Fidji Simo to oversee new standalone consumer apps. These could include an AI browser or a better social media experience ⚙️

• Altman also mentioned OpenAI’s interest in supporting Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup that aims to compete with Elon Musk’s Neuralink ✅

• Reflecting on the rough rollout of GPT-5, Altman admitted, “we screwed that up” by phasing out GPT-4o without warning 🤐

Why You Should Care: This intimate dinner shows that OpenAI is positioning itself as more than just the maker of ChatGPT. It is trying to develop into a broader tech powerhouse with devices, apps, and brain tech, all while learning tough lessons in managing product launches.

Claude Opus gains power to end harmful chats ⚡

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4 and 4.1 models can now automatically end conversations that become persistently "harmful or abusive," as part of an experiment on "model welfare" 🚀

• If users persistently abuse Claude with harmful content despite multiple denials, Claude can terminate the chat, allowing users to start a new one 🛑

• This feature, based on Anthropic's AI welfare research and pre-deployment assessments, activates in extreme cases, such as requests for sexual content involving minors or mass violence instructions, due to Claude's aversion to harmful tasks 🆘

• Anthropic states that most users won't encounter this. Claude will steer conversations back on track and won't terminate sessions unless they become abusive or unproductive. It also won't end sessions if users make suicidal or self-harm remarks 🔄

Why You Should Care: This shift in AI design focuses on protecting the AI's "well-being," aiming to limit its toxicity and ethical violations. It's a bold, contentious move that could influence future models in managing toxic interactions autonomously.

• The AI agents are available now for both Free and Pro users, with plagiarism and AI-detection prompts launching soon for educators as part of Grammarly's roadmap ✍️

Why You Should Care: Grammarly's embedded "what-if" predictive grading tool in the writing workflow helps students connect the drafting and feedback process while helping them develop confidence and learn prior to submitting papers to instructors.

$2B milestone for ChatGPT mobile app 📱

ChatGPT swiftly achieved over $2 billion in user spending. An average of $2.91 per download. By far the strongest position in the AI app economy 🤖

• The ChatGPT mobile app has generated more than $2 billion in total, with $1.35 billion generated in 2025 alone or a year-over-year 673% increase; this equates to $193 million per month 💸

• The app earns $2.91 per install on average, outperforming competitors like Claude at $2.55, Grok at $0.75, and Copilot at $0.28. U.S. installs, making up 38% of total revenue, average $10 each 💰

• The app has been downloaded on approximately 690 million devices, with India (13.7%) and the U.S. (10.3%) leading. Monthly installs average 45 million, a 180% year-over-year increase, with 318 million in 2025 alone, 2.8× more than in 2024 🌍

Why You Should Care: ChatGPT’s mobile app isn’t just wildly popular, it’s incredibly profitable; from revenue to installs it dwarfs its competitors and demonstrates the power of mobile monetization in AI, solidifying OpenAI’s preeminence as a consumer-facing AI provider.

Flight Deals turns prompts into trips ✈️

Google Flights is testing Flight Deals, an AI feature that suggests affordable travel destinations based on plain English input, even if you have no specific plans⚡

• Type prompts like “a weekend countryside getaway with trail rides and kayaking” or “a ski trip to a world-class resort,” and Flight Deals will interpret your intent using AI to suggest relevant, budget-friendly flights 🧠

• Flight Deals suggests both popular and lesser-known destinations. For instance, a "hiking in Europe" search recommended Cluj-Napoca in Romania and Ljubljana in Slovenia, while "trips to Japan during cherry blossom season" yielded no results 🎯
  

• Flight Deals, in beta for U.S., Canadian, and Indian travelers, offers flight options within six months unless specified, with filters for stops, airlines, and an option to exclude basic economy fares from certain regions 🌍

Why You Should Care: Flight Deals makes travel planning a chatty, inspirational engagement, similar to TikTok, and particularly useful if you're searching for ideas without needing a particular destination. You're collaborating with AI to make your travel discovery easier and affordable, and just for fun, using some unexpected breadth of travel options.
