In a world where 30% of Big Tech code is written by AI already, OpenAI says it wants to join the club for «virtual teammates,» and it’s getting ever closer with today’s launch.

OpenAI’s Agents Research Lead, Josh Tobin tells TechCrunch that the company wants software agents to complete tasks autonomously that would otherwise take hours or days to finish, in anything from one to thirty minutes, and OpenAI is already using the model to offload repetitive tasks.

ChatGPT 4.1 now available in the app and web

OpenAIs coding model was launched in the API only on April 14th, and reduced costs compared to GPT 4.5.

It also comes with a large context window of 1 million «tokens.» These are compute units that roughly translates to 750,000 words — so this model can read and output very large files or codebases.

It should be available under the model selector menu by clicking on «More models.»

UPDATE: It seems that without announcement of fanfare, free users on ChatGPT.com now get 4.1-mini as the new default model, a step up from the previous 4o-mini.

Despite some reports, GPT-4.1 does not appear to be the default for paid users—ChatGPT Plus still opens with GPT-4o as standard

By popular request, GPT-4.1 will be available directly in ChatGPT starting today.

GPT-4.1 is a specialized model that excels at coding tasks & instruction following. Because it’s faster, it’s a great alternative to OpenAI o3 & o4-mini for everyday coding needs.

OpenAI is not changing to a for-profit company after all, they revealed last night. Instead, they are making minor adjustments to the corporate structure to welcome more investment.

This means changing the structure of it’s operational, for profit Limited Liability Company (LLC) to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that will be controlled by it’s non-profit entity intended to «ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity,» OpenAI writes in a blog post.

A Public Benefit Corporation is a profit-based company that legally commits to both profit and purpose — like «advancing AI for all» — and must consider that mission alongside shareholder value. It also has to publish a yearly «public benefit» report. It’s essentially a mission-specific corporate vehicle.

As the AI app crosses 1 billion searches per week, they are now making it easier to shop and look for reviews on the platform, in what could be the first steps towards monetization.

The new feature will produce «improved product results» and show product cards with images and prices, pulling product reviews from sites like professional publishers and forums like reddit, and often presenting reviews with star ratings, writes The Verge.

ChatGPT use is up to about «something like 10% of the world» said CEO Sam Altman, putting the numbers reached at roughly 800 million people, according to Pymnts.com, but that won’t be the main driver of income in coming years.

The company said in March that it anticipates revenue above $11.6 billion in 2025 – nearly tripling its 2024 numbers. It will then jump from $125B in 2029 to $174B in 2030.

Revenue will rise significantly once it can develop and charge for AI agents, and «free user monetization,» according to Slashdot.

What that «monetization» will entail is unclear so far, but Pymnts.com says they have considered things such as charging affiliate fees on links, giving it a cut of sales generated from the platform.

According to this post on r/singularity, they are not currently considering considering selling traditional advertising, but that references a December FT.com article and may well have changed.

ChatGPT o3 and o4-mini are big steps toward AI agents

The models are inching ahead in benchmarks, but multimodality is where they truly shine.

OpenAI’s latest model drop hints at a future where agents can do most of our work — and is proving the point with image processing.

The new reasoning models are managing an ever so slight lead in many benchmarks and therefore earns the right to be called state of the art, but of particular note is that they improve on GPT o1 and 03-mini by almost 30% in the coding benchmark SWE-Bench Verified, OpenAI claims in their launch post.

— These are the smartest models we’ve released to date, representing a step change in ChatGPT’s capabilities for everyone from curious users to advanced researchers, says OpenAI.

Sam Altman of OpenAI teased this weekend that we were in for a week of big launches, and chatter was about an open source model that would be better than anything available.

On Monday night, though, the AI company launched ChatGPT 4.1, 4.1-mini and 4.1-nano, which at first seem a bit underwhelming.

While you might be getting tired of ChatGPT’s word salad lineup, these latest models offer mostly cost efficiency and larger input levels for coding tasks. They won’t be available in the app — but are instead rolled out on the API.

ChatGPT memory now includes all past chats

In a huge move for ChatGPT, all previous chats will be considered something akin to the «memory»-feature in coming updates to the Plus and Pro segments.

The feature is supposed to make ChatGPT more personal and relevant to users, and you wont have to manage the paltry «memories»-storage any more, writes TechCrunch.

Here’s the official announcement from OpenAI:

In a blockbuster day for OpenAI news, it also says it added 1 million users an hour last night, and is opening the famous image generator for free users.

The money raised by the ChatGPT maker values the company at $300 billion, and is the most money raised by a private tech company ever, as it was the last time they raised a mere $6.6 billion back in October 2024.

In fact, the funding is three times the previous high note in funding for tech companies.

OpenAI drastically improves ChatGPT image generation

Karl Marx goes shopping, from OpenAI.
Moving from Dall-E to native GPT 4o images makes for higher quality and more lifelike detail — and they also updated their terms of service.

Rolling out to users on Free, Pro and Plus tiers, the image generation should be live pretty much by the time of this writing, letting you generate just about anything you can imagine from a text prompt – within reason.

Accessing a world of knowledge
Since it uses GPT 4o, the generator has access to a world of knowledge and context that was missing from the previous generators, writes Mashable.

New benchmark shows how far we are from AGI

Artificial General Intelligence denotes when AI becomes more proficient than humans in most tasks, and is the holy grail of current AI research, even though there are different definitions depending on who you ask.

A new cognitive, problem solving benchmark, the ARC-AGI-2, which is easy for humans and really tough for even the best of the reasoning AIs shows just how far away that goal is, TechCrunch reports.

In fact, most state of the art AIs score in the low single digits on this test, whereas humans score an average of 60%.

OpenAI ber retten forkaste forfatter-søksmål

Forfatterne som saksøkte OpenAI i California har fundamentalt misforstått opphavsretten, mener ChatGPT-skaperen.

Forfatterne hevder at OpenAI begikk massivt opphavsrettsbrudd da de kopierte hundretusener av bøker fra piratkilder til bruk i treningsdata.

Også New York Times vurderer søksmål mot OpenAI

NYT har i det siste både oppdatert bruksvilkårene sine og vært i harde forhandlinger med ChatGPT-eieren OpenAI om betaling for artiklene deres.

Nå er forhandlingene over, og The Times vurderer i følge anonyme kilder nøye om de skal gå til sak over brudd på opphavsretten, skriver NPR.

Problemet er at ChatGPT har sopet opp hele arkivet — og alt som publiseres — på NYT.com og bruker det som innhold til svar hos den generative AIen uten tillatelse.
