🧠 OpenAI launches GPT-6 for everyone
LINK
|
- OpenAI has released GPT-6 to all ChatGPT users, bringing an "Intelligent UI" that can answer questions with interactive diagrams, side-by-side comparisons, or plain text depending on what fits best.
- The system runs on a library of streamable components and a compiler that builds the interface piece by piece as the model writes, so results appear progressively instead of waiting for the full response.
- GPT-6 also handles web searches better, deciding more wisely when to look something up, and resists attempts to bypass its safety training across multi-turn attacks involving cyberattacks, biological threats, and violence.

💰 Samsung forecasts world record-breaking $80B profit
LINK
|
- Samsung expects to post a quarterly operating profit of about 107 trillion won ($80 billion), which would be a record for any technology company, driven by the global memory chip shortage.
- The profit, up more than nine times from a year ago, would mark Samsung's fourth straight record quarter, as AI demand pushes prices higher for DRAM, NAND flash, and high-bandwidth memory chips.
- Samsung's full breakdown arrives on October 29, but analysts expect the chip business drove most of the gains, while its smartphone unit suffers from higher component costs forcing price increases.

🔐 Researcher warns AI may break crypto wallets
LINK
|
- Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has warned that artificial intelligence could crack the ECDSA cryptography protecting crypto wallets, urging users to shift their funds to fresh addresses before quantum computers pose the same threat.
- In an X post on Wednesday, Drake said recent AI math results mean ECDSA could break "in months not years," letting attackers recover private keys from exposed public keys far sooner than people expected.
- Drake pointed to OpenAI's work, including 10,000 AI agents that cracked the Navier-Stokes equation in 88 hours, and advised large holders to move balances first, though he cautioned that a rushed migration would backfire.

🤖 Grok will now use rival Claude
LINK
|
- Elon Musk said on Tuesday that SpaceXAI's Grok Bot will route jobs to outside AI services, including Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, image maker Midjourney and music tool Suno, picking a provider based on each task.
- Customers can't pick the model themselves, since Grok Bot manages the choice with no picker; usage analytics reveal which model handled each request, and billing follows whichever model actually did the work.
- Enterprise accounts get a team allowlist of permitted models honored by default, but Grok Bot warns it may not follow the list, and Musk offered no tests proving the routing gives better results.

💥 Google Cloud unveils Gemini work agent
LINK
|
- Google Cloud has launched the Gemini agent, a single assistant for work that handles tasks from answering questions and creating content to coding, all starting from one prompt box.
- The agent plans the work, picks the right model for each job, and connects to a company's business systems, delivering finished results inside the documents, inboxes, and developer tools employees already use.
- Built for businesses, the Gemini agent carries each organization's full work context and comes with cost controls plus the security, administration, and governance that enterprise customers expect.

💲 Anthropic reveals Haiku 5.5
LINK
|
- Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, its fast, low-cost model, dropping the price roughly 90% from the previous Haiku 4.5 to just $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for shorter prompts.
- The new price matches OpenAI's GPT-6 Luna up to 100,000 tokens, but beyond that it jumps 5x to $0.50/$2.50, and a less generous tokenizer counts about 1.25x more tokens than Haiku 4.5 for the same text.
- Unlike the older Haiku, the 5.5 model supports reasoning levels and can't fully disable them, defaulting to medium; it draws far better than its predecessor, and a top-effort pelican test cost just over 3 cents and took about five minutes.
