🎨 The new ChatGPT Images is here
LINK
|
- OpenAI launched GPT-Image-1.5 today for all users and the API, claiming a speed boost of up to 4x along with better instruction-following and specific editing tools to compete with Google.
- This updated ChatGPT Images system mimics Nano Banana Pro by letting creators adjust fine details like facial likeness or lighting without forcing the model to randomly reinterpret the entire picture.
- A dedicated entry point in the sidebar now opens a creative studio interface where you can apply preset filters, browse trending prompts, and see search queries display more visuals with clear sources.

🇺🇸 US threatens penalties against EU tech firms
LINK
|
- The Office of the United States Trade Representative threatened to penalize the European Union in return for what it describes as a continuing course of discriminatory lawsuits, taxes, and directives.
- This pronouncement signals a rocky period for trade relations because officials say Europe refused to walk back regulations while proceeding with investigations of major firms like Google, X, Amazon, and Meta.
- After years of raising concerns without meaningful engagement, the government stated it has no choice but to counter these unreasonable measures using tools like fees and restrictions on service companies.

🤖 Google tests an email-based productivity assistant
LINK
|
- Google Labs has launched a new experimental assistant named CC that uses Gemini to access your Gmail, Drive, and Calendar data so it can help manage your daily digital life.
- The tool sends a “Your Day Ahead” email with key updates and tasks, allowing you to reply anytime to add to-dos, save notes, or ask it to search for specific information.
- This experiment is open to AI Pro and Ultra users in the U.S. and Canada with consumer Google accounts, but the company says it does not support Workspace plans yet.

💰 Amazon in talks to invest $10 billion in OpenAI
LINK
|
- Amazon is currently negotiating a potential deal to invest more than $10 billion into OpenAI as part of a new agreement for the startup to use its artificial intelligence chips.
- The discussions come after OpenAI completed a restructuring that removed Microsoft's right of first refusal to be the sole compute provider, giving it freedom to partner across the broader AI ecosystem.
- OpenAI recently signed a contract to buy $38 billion worth of capacity from AWS, adding to massive infrastructure commitments made in recent months with chipmakers like Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom.

⚡ Google launches Gemini 3 Flash
LINK
|
- Google just launched Gemini 3 Flash as a faster, lower-cost model that now serves as the default option for everyone using the Gemini app and AI mode in search.
- This release hit an 81.2 percent score on the MMMU-Pro multimodality benchmark and reached 33.7 percent on Humanity’s Last Exam, putting it just behind Gemini 3 Pro and GPT 5.2.
- Users can upload video and audio recordings to get analysis or build app prototypes using prompts, while developers can access the model through the API and the Antigravity coding tool.

🎬 Warner Bros rejects Paramount bid
LINK
|
- Warner Bros Discovery has officially turned down a hostile takeover attempt from Paramount, choosing instead to proceed with its previous agreement to merge with streaming giant Netflix for a lower valuation.
- While Paramount launched an all-cash tender offer valuing the studio at $108.4 billion, Warner Bros claims the $83 billion Netflix merger represents superior, more certain value for their shareholders.
- The rival proposal came from Paramount CEO David Ellison, the son of a Trump ally, shortly after the president expressed a desire to see CNN under new ownership during this sale.
