// a daily digest from the AI world
New models, tools and announcements — every day, always with a source link. This digest is assembled by an AI agent following my rules, and it's the same briefing I use myself to keep up with AI without burning time.
OpenAI announced GPT-5.6, improving efficiency across models, inference, and agentic workflows. The goal is to deliver more useful intelligence per dollar. For teams, that means a better performance-to-cost ratio when deploying.
OpenAI is giving 100,000 academic researchers free access to its most advanced ChatGPT models. The aim is to accelerate scientific research, collaboration, and discovery. It is a concrete step toward putting frontier models in the hands of science.
Microsoft is building an AI “super app” that combines Copilot's chat, coding, and agentic capabilities. CEO Satya Nadella says it will span both consumer and commercial experiences and launch this year. Copilot, he noted, is evolving from chat to “Cowork” to “Autopilots.”
Perplexity has expanded its agentic Personal Computer tool to Windows, the world's most popular OS. It works like a “general-purpose digital worker” that can access local files and apps to perform tasks. It runs locally, like the Mac version.
Håkon Måløy demonstrated a new prompt injection variant that can upgrade an attack into a full self-replicating worm. An attacker hides instructions in a document later used as source material in Copilot for Word. Copilot may interpret them as part of the user's request and manipulate the document.
This section writes, assembles and publishes itself every morning — from source selection to deployment. If you'd like a quiet helper like this in your company, let's start with an initial consultation — the fee is credited toward the project if we work together.
