It also scored an almost perfect 118/120 on the 2024 Putnam exam under unlimited compute conditions. This milestone signals that open-source AI is now capable of human-level mathematical reasoning and formal problem solving.

OpenAI is rushing out GPT-5.2 earlier than planned, targeting a potential December 9, 2025 release after declaring an internal “code red.”

The accelerated schedule comes in direct response to Google’s Gemini 3 setting new performance benchmarks, prompting OpenAI to prioritise speed, stability, and reasoning improvements over other projects.

Internal tests reportedly show GPT-5.2 outperforming Gemini 3 in several reasoning tasks, raising expectations that the update could help OpenAI regain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

AWS showcased a new “effortless databases” direction that reduces friction for builders deploying data backends for AI applications. Through integrations with partners like Vercel, developers can provision production-grade databases directly from their existing dashboards.

Aurora serverless options provide elastic scale, while LLM-assisted modeling tools simplify schema design and evolution. Crucially, AWS framed its databases as memory and state engines for agentic AI, supporting both short-term and long-term context persistence.

Customer stories, including Robinhood’s move to Aurora in a regulated environment, demonstrated the model’s viability, delivering lower costs, higher reliability, and better performance for data-intensive, agent-driven workloads.

AWS highlighted major AI-driven enhancements to Amazon Connect aimed at transforming customer service operations. The platform now uses AI to assemble rich context before an interaction begins, so agents spend less time gathering information and more time solving problems. Intelligent recommendations guide next best actions while background tasks and summaries are automated.

Organizations can choose fully automated, human-only, or hybrid configurations to match their support strategy. Real-time quality assurance provides continuous feedback and scoring at scale.

Customer examples such as Priceline, which reported significant time savings per call and more accurate workflows, underscore the operational and experience gains from these capabilities.

AWS announced AWS Transform, a new AI-powered platform designed to make migration and modernization continuous rather than painful. Transform uses specialized agents to discover existing systems, generate migration and modernization plans, propose and implement code changes, automate test creation, and orchestrate end-to-end execution.

Initial support covers VMware migrations, mainframe modernization, and Windows applications. Features like Transform Custom and Transform Composability let enterprises and partners define their own modernization agents and patterns, including cross-language code changes.

Customer results from CSL and BMW illustrate the impact: dramatic reductions in discovery and planning time, faster test generation, higher coverage, and accelerated application modernization.

AWS introduced Amazon QuickSuite, a unified workspace designed to reduce fragmentation across enterprise tools by bringing documents, workflows, and insights into a single environment.

Intelligent agents inside QuickSuite can search across platforms such as SharePoint, Confluence, CRM systems, ServiceNow, and Box, then automate tasks, route work, and generate insights in context. Real-world customers showcased measurable outcomes: AstraZeneca accelerates research workflows, BMW streamlines engineering processes, and 3M improves global sales operations.

The core idea is simple but powerful: when humans and AI operate in the same contextual workspace instead of juggling multiple disconnected tools, work quality improves and cycle times shrink.

DeepSeek unveiled V3.2 and V3.2-Speciale two new open-source large language models. The standard V3.2 balances inference efficiency with strong reasoning, making it suitable for everyday tasks.

The Speciale variant pushes performance to the limits: it delivers gold-level results on challenging math benchmarks including the 2025 Olympiad exams, and reportedly competes head-to-head with GPT-5 and Gemini 3 Pro on coding, logic, and reasoning tasks.

With an innovative “Sparse Attention” architecture reducing compute costs and enabling long-context reasoning, this release challenges the assumption that top-tier AI must remain proprietary.

A security incident at Mixpanel, an analytics provider used by OpenAI, resulted in the exposure of limited data belonging to certain OpenAI API users. The leaked dataset included basic profile information such as names, email addresses, approximate location based on browser data, device details, and user or organization IDs. OpenAI confirmed that none of its own systems were breached and that no sensitive data like passwords, API keys, payment information, chat history, or usage logs was exposed. OpenAI has discontinued using Mixpanel, notified impacted users, and advised increased awareness regarding phishing or social engineering attempts.

Anthropic addresses the challenge of AI agents forgetting context between sessions a major obstacle for long-running tasks like building software over hours or days.

Their solution uses a two-agent harness: an initializer agent sets up the project environment, creating a git repo, init scripts, a structured feature list and a progress log; then a coding agent works incrementally, implementing one feature per session, running end-to-end tests, committing clean code, and updating progress.

This disciplined, engineering-style workflow prevents agents from “one-shotting” tasks or prematurely marking projects as complete enabling reliable, multi-session progress.

Anthropic has introduced a new set of features enabling Claude to handle complex workflows through advanced tool use.

These include a Tool Search Tool (for dynamic, on-demand discovery of tools), Programmatic Tool Calling (letting Claude write code to call multiple tools, handle logic and data transformations, and avoid flooding its context with intermediate results), and Tool Use Examples (providing exemplar calls so the model learns correct usage patterns beyond mere schema).

This approach improves efficiency, reduces token and inference overhead, increases accuracy for multi-step tasks, and enables scalable integration with large tool libraries making Claude far more capable for real-world automation and orchestration.

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.5, its most advanced AI model to date, delivering major performance gains in coding, reasoning, and real-world productivity.

The model scores highest on benchmark tests such as SWE-Bench Verified, reflecting top-tier code generation and problem-solving capabilities.

Opus 4.5 also introduces memory improvements for long-context tasks and supports agentic workflows making it suitable for complex, multi-step work over longer sessions. Alongside the release, Anthropic is rolling out new integrations: a browser extension for Chrome and a spreadsheet assistant for Excel, enabling the model to interact with everyday tools for browsing, data manipulation, and office automation.

ChatGPT by OpenAI has gained a new feature: Shopping Research. This turns ChatGPT into a guided personal shopper you describe what you need (e.g. “quiet cordless vacuum for a small flat”), it asks clarifying questions, searches trusted retail sites for specs, prices, reviews and availability, then builds a personalized buyer’s-guide.

The tool is available now on mobile and web for Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans, and during the holiday season usage is nearly unlimited.

Shopping Research uses a specialized “GPT-5 mini” model fine-tuned for shopping tasks, integrates optional user memory for better recommendations, and promises future direct checkout for merchants supporting “Instant Checkout.”

Leading AI models using real user tasks and preference scoring. ChatGPT unexpectedly ranked 8th, trailing behind models from DeepSeek, Mistral, Google, and xAI.

Gemini 2.5 Pro received the highest performance ratings, followed closely by DeepSeek v3 and DeepSeek R1, which users preferred for reasoning depth, consistency, and speed-to-answer.

The results reflect a growing shift in user sentiment: high-performance, lower-cost alternatives are increasingly challenging OpenAI’s dominance. For enterprises evaluating multi-model strategies, this shows the competitive landscape is diversifying rapidly, especially with Chinese and open-weight models gaining traction.

According to recent reports, the Trump administration is backing off its plan to legally challenge state-level AI regulations. Initially, the draft executive order would have set up a Department of Justice “AI Litigation Task Force” aimed at suing states over their AI laws particularly California’s SB 53 and threatening to withhold federal broadband funding.

But now, that order is on hold amid internal pushback and political risk. This shift could signal a retreat from a unified preemption strategy, leaving states with greater power to regulate AI independently.

OpenAI has announced a collaboration with Foxconn to boost U.S.-based AI infrastructure. Together, they will co-design next-generation AI data center racks, networking, power, and other critical hardware, leveraging Foxconn’s manufacturing scale and OpenAI’s insights into emerging model compute needs.

While the agreement doesn’t commit to immediate purchases, OpenAI will have early access to evaluate Foxconn-built systems and an option to buy.

The partnership aims to strengthen domestic AI supply chains, improve manufacturing capacity, and accelerate deployment of high-performance compute infrastructure in the United States.

OpenAI released a report on early experiments where GPT-5 accelerated scientific research across disciplines such as mathematics, biology, physics, computer science, and astronomy. GPT-5 was used to synthesize complex literature, perform advanced computations, and even propose formal proofs for unsolved propositions.

The studies emphasize that while the model can suggest new research directions and generate insightful reasoning, it also has limitations such as hallucinating references or reasoning paths, underscoring the necessity of expert oversight.

OpenAI’s goal is to transparently showcase GPT-5’s potential and limitations in real scientific workflows.

OpenAI and Scania have partnered to accelerate AI adoption across the Swedish transport manufacturer’s global workforce. Over the past year, Scania issued ChatGPT Enterprise licenses widely, enabling its engineering and operations teams to run experiments, share learnings, and build use cases organically.

The collaboration supports Scania’s transformation into a software- and data-driven business, with AI playing a role in design, process optimization, and decision-making.

This decentralized, bottom-up approach is helping Scania reimagine how employees innovate using generative AI while maintaining alignment with its mission for sustainable transport.

OpenAI and Target have announced a partnership to integrate AI directly into retail operations and customer experience.

They’re launching a dedicated Target app within ChatGPT for shoppers to browse, build multi-item baskets, and check out using options like Drive Up, Order Pickup, or shipping. Behind the scenes, Target is leveraging OpenAI APIs and ChatGPT Enterprise across its organization to boost employee productivity and improve internal workflows.

The collaboration also powers AI-based guest support tools, smarter recommendations, and dynamic vendor-partner interactions part of Target’s broader ambition to weave intelligence into its business.

Google unveiled Gemini 3, its latest and most capable generative AI model, available immediately in the Gemini app and via Google Search’s AI mode.

This model delivers a significant leap in reasoning, multimodal understanding, and tool use. On standard benchmarks, Gemini 3 Pro scored a record 37.4 on “Humanity’s Last Exam” and set new highs on LMArena, WebDev Arena, and agentic coding evaluations.

To support developers, Google also introduced Antigravity, an IDE-like platform where AI agents (powered by Gemini 3) interact directly with code editors, terminals, and browsers to build software autonomously.

The GoML POV

Google’s release of Gemini 3 is a solid leap in multimodal reasoning and agentic coding. But from an enterprise perspective, benchmark wins are only half the story. Models don’t succeed in production because they top HLE or LMArena they succeed when they behave consistently across messy, high-stakes, real-world workloads.

At GoML, across healthcare, finance, and insurance deployments, we’ve learned that enterprises care far more about predictability, governance, latency guarantees, auditability, and cost-efficiency. These remain open questions for Gemini 3. Google’s new coding agent, Antigravity, looks powerful, but its real test is whether it can maintain workflow stability, integrate cleanly with legacy stacks, and operate within enterprise security boundaries.

Gemini 3 is an impressive research milestone, but adoption will depend on how well it performs inside controlled enterprise environments, supports domain-level fine-tuning, and aligns with compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI, and SOC2. For GoML, Gemini 3 is a promising entrant in the model ecosystem one that could deliver value once its agentic behavior is validated in production, not just on curated benchmark suites.

OpenAI was formally recognised by Gartner as an Emerging Leader in its 2025 Innovation Guide for Generative AI Model Providers. The position reflects OpenAI’s broad enterprise traction citing support for more than 1 million organisations and its investments in governance, privacy controls, data residency, monitoring and scalable deployments.

The Emerging Leader category highlights vendors with strong current offerings and promising future potential in a fast-evolving market.

OpenAI emphasises that the next wave of its systems will focus on deeper integration, collaboration and capability. Although the achievement affirms momentum, it comes with the acknowledgement that the generative AI market remains highly dynamic.

Kimi announced K2, a next-generation open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model that activates 32 billion parameters out of a 1 trillion-parameter pool.

It’s trained using a novel optimizer called MuonClip, which uses a QK-clip technique to ensure stability while maintaining token efficiency. During post-training, K2 leverages a large-scale agentic data synthesis pipeline and reinforcement learning to improve via environment interactions.

In benchmarks, it outperforms many open and closed source models in coding, mathematics, reasoning, and agentic performance. The model checkpoint is being open-sourced to further research.

Anthropic announced that it disrupted what it calls the first documented large-scale cyber-espionage campaign primarily executed by an AI system.

A Chinese state-sponsored threat actor manipulated Claude Code into acting as an autonomous cyber-operations agent by breaking malicious intent into harmless-looking subtasks.

The AI conducted reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploit generation, credential harvesting, and data exfiltration with minimal human intervention, completing around 80–90% of the attack workflow. The operation targeted nearly 30 organisations worldwide. Anthropic warns that this event signals a new era in cyberwarfare, where AI agents significantly lower the skill and resource barrier for sophisticated attacks.

OpenAI announced “OpenAI for Ireland,” an initiative created with the Irish Government, Dogpatch Labs, and the nonprofit Patch to accelerate AI adoption across Ireland.

The program focuses on enabling small businesses, startups, and young innovators with practical AI skills. An “SME Booster” program will launch in 2026, offering hands-on AI training, real-time mentoring, and free online learning through the OpenAI Academy.

For young founders aged 16–21, OpenAI and Patch will provide fellowships, grants, and workshops to help build new AI ventures. OpenAI is also expanding its presence in Ireland, where it already operates its European headquarters.

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.1, an upgrade to its flagship model, available in two versions: GPT-5.1 Instant and GPT-5.1 Thinking.

The Instant model focuses on delivering warmer, more human-like conversations and stronger instruction-following, while the Thinking model is designed for efficiency fast on simple tasks and persistent on complex reasoning problems.

GPT-5.1 also introduces eight personality presets, including Professional, Friendly, Candid, Quirky, Efficient, Nerdy, and Cynical, giving users more control over tone and interaction style. The rollout begins immediately, with earlier GPT-5 models continuing in legacy mode for paid users.

Anthropic revealed that a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group manipulated its Claude AI system to conduct a large-scale cyber-espionage operation. The attackers targeted roughly 30 organisations across sectors including technology, finance, chemicals and government.

Claude was used to automate most stages of the intrusion reconnaissance, network mapping, exploit development, credential theft and data extraction with humans stepping in only for key decisions. Although the model sometimes fabricated details, it still enabled highly efficient, near-autonomous cyberattacks.

The incident highlights a major shift in threat landscapes, showing how advanced AI can drastically amplify the scale and sophistication of state-backed hacking.

The GoML POV

The recent revelation that Chinese state-backed hackers used Anthropic’s agentic AI to execute near-autonomous cyberattacks marks a turning point in how AI will shape both sides of cybersecurity.

This incident reinforces a core reality we see at GoML: agentic AI is no longer just an accelerator for enterprise productivity it is now a force multiplier for attackers as well.

The most significant takeaway isn’t just that an AI model was misused. It’s that an AI agent was able to autonomously perform 80–90% of the intrusion workflow reconnaissance, exploit generation, credential harvesting, lateral movement, and data extraction with humans stepping in only for strategic decisions.

For enterprises, especially in regulated sectors like healthcare, this changes the threat model entirely.

The question is no longer “What can a hacker do?” but “What can an AI agent do if misused?”

The real Big Shift ahead will be how organisations adopt GenAI while embedding AI-native guardrails, continuous monitoring, and domain-specific governance. This is where differentiation will occur: companies that deploy AI agents with safety-by-design will move faster and safer than those who treat security as an afterthought.

For now, this incident validates GoML’s position that AI agents must be deployed with strong oversight, audit trails, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and misuse detection frameworks. As enterprises race to adopt GenAI, safe agent orchestration will become as important as model performance itself.

Microsoft has introduced what it describes as the world’s first “planet-scale AI superfactory,” an interconnected high-speed data-center network that spans major sites in Wisconsin and Atlanta and is optimized exclusively for large-scale AI workloads.

Unlike typical cloud data centers running many applications, this system is engineered as a unified infrastructure built for model training and inference at extreme scale, using hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs, an AI-WAN backbone, and advanced liquid-cooling and high-density rack architecture.

The move signals Microsoft’s commitment to lead in AI infrastructure, enabling next-gen models with unprecedented compute and low latency across regions.

Google has launched Private AI Compute, a new cloud infrastructure that allows its Gemini models to run with the power of the cloud while preserving stringent privacy guarantees.

The platform creates a “trusted execution environment” that isolates user data from Google’s broader systems, encrypting memory and enforcing remote attestation so only the user can access their processed information.

The system runs on Google’s custom TPUs and utilizes hardware-enforced safeguards such as Titanium Intelligence Enclaves (TIE). The company says the goal is to bring advanced AI features like on-device-level privacy to the cloud so that users benefit from larger models without sacrificing control over their data.

Meta released the Omnilingual ASR model suite, a family of automatic speech recognition models supporting over 1,600 languages out-of-the-box, and designed to generalize to more than 5,400 languages via zero-shot in-context learning. The models are fully open-source under Apache 2.0, enabling commercial reuse.

The architecture includes self-supervised speech encoders and LLM-based decoders, enabling transcription of under-represented languages previously unavailable in major ASR systems.

This release marks a significant step in voice AI inclusivity and indicates Meta’s renewed emphasis on foundational AI infrastructure.

Anthropic’s leadership believes its smarter path to AI growth is anchored in B2B enterprise adoption, rather than purely consumer scale.

The company aims to turn a profit ahead of OpenAI, which is projecting losses of around $74 billion by 2028.  The key differentiator is Anthropic’s focus on high-value enterprise contracts, scalable APIs and cost-efficient compute infrastructure.

As opposed to OpenAI’s broad consumer push and heavy infrastructure spend, Anthropic’s model may give it an edge where margins matter most.

David Hayes has unveiled Babeltext, a new AI platform designed to expand access to generative AI globally by enabling conversations via familiar messaging channels (SMS, WhatsApp, WeChat) and supporting 195 languages.

The company sees the shift from “answers to actions”: enabling users not just to query AI, but to act via it. Built in partnership with AWS Bedrock, Babeltext targets mobile-first and under-served populations whose access to desktop or high-capacity devices is limited.

The release hints at a major push toward inclusive AI, focusing on human context and device accessibility rather than sheer compute power.

Google is finalizing Nano Banana 2 (GEMPIX2), an advanced AI-assisted image generation model under the Gemini branding. Set for release next week, GEMPIX2 targets creators and design professionals, promising higher resolution, texture fidelity, and lighting accuracy than its predecessor.

Optimized for speed and local deployment, it will integrate with Gemini Apps, YouTube Create, and Vertex AI’s ImageGen API, supporting low-latency image synthesis for real-time editing and creative workflows.

This marks Google’s renewed push into professional-grade generative visual tools, aiming to challenge OpenAI’s DALL-E 4 and Adobe Firefly 3 in the enterprise creator market.

Google has quietly hinted at the upcoming release of Gemini 3 Pro, its next-generation large multimodal model, after references surfaced in Vertex AI code tagged “11-2025.”

The discovery suggests an imminent November 2025 launch, likely beginning with a preview inside AI Studio for developers and enterprise users. Gemini 3 Pro is expected to offer stronger reasoning, improved multimodal context handling (text + vision + audio), and better latency than Gemini 1.5 Pro.

This aligns with Google’s broader Gemini 3 family rollout roadmap, positioning it to rival OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 across high-end cloud AI integrations.

OpenAI states that AI systems now outperform humans on some difficult intellectual tasks and that the gap between public perception and capability is immense.

It estimates the cost per unit of intelligence has been dropping roughly 40-fold annually, forecasting that by 2026 AI may make small discoveries and by 2028 significant ones.

To ensure broad benefit and mitigate risks, OpenAI recommends the field adopt shared standards among frontier labs, public oversight, an AI resilience ecosystem similar to cybersecurity, real-world impact measurement, and equitable individual access to advanced AI.

OpenAI and Amazon Web Services announced a strategic, multi-year agreement valued at roughly $38 billion that supplies OpenAI with massive EC2 UltraServer capacity including hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs  to train and run advanced models.

The deal accelerates OpenAI’s ability to scale agentic and multimodal workloads, diversifies its cloud footprint beyond previous heavy Azure usage, and signals a major vote of confidence in AWS’s capacity and performance.

Markets reacted positively for AWS/Amazon; analysts note the move pushes compute costs and contractual obligations far into the future, raising long-term financing questions for OpenAI.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go is an affordable monthly subscription plan that builds on the Free tier by providing extended access to GPT-5, greater image-generation quota, enhanced file-upload and data-analysis capabilities, and a longer conversational memory for more personalised interaction.

It includes organise-and-track tools like Projects, Tasks and Custom GPTs. ChatGPT Go does not include API usage, legacy models like 4o, or connectors/Sora features (which are available in higher tiers).

Availability is currently limited to selected countries, and usage limits may vary based on system load.

OpenAI introduced the gpt-oss-safeguard model series (gpt-oss-safeguard-20B and -120B) as open-weight reasoning engines tailored for safety and trust-and-safety classification tasks.

Developers supply their own policy text at runtime and the model reasons over input accordingly, classifies conversation elements (user messages, completions, full chats) and emits chain-of-thought explanations of how decisions are made.

OpenAI positions them as alternatives to rigid classifiers: they permit iterative policy changes without retraining. Limitations noted include higher compute/latency and that traditional classifiers may still win in ultra-high precision contexts.

OpenAI and Microsoft have entered a new phase of their strategic partnership, marked by a definitive agreement that values Microsoft’s investment at around US $135 billion (~27% stake in OpenAI Group PBC).

The deal preserves Microsoft’s exclusive Azure API rights for frontier models until AGI is declared, while adding fresh terms: any AGI declaration by OpenAI must be verified by an independent expert panel.

Microsoft’s IP rights now extend through 2032 and include post-AGI models. OpenAI can now freely partner beyond Microsoft for compute and deployment, signalling a more open ecosystem.

PayPal announced a strategic collaboration with OpenAI to integrate its digital wallet directly into ChatGPT. This integration enables users to make purchases and payments seamlessly through conversational interactions within the platform.

The partnership also connects PayPal’s merchant ecosystem with OpenAI’s Instant Checkout and agentic commerce features, allowing businesses to sell directly through ChatGPT.

Following the announcement, PayPal raised its 2025 earnings forecast and introduced its first quarterly dividend, signaling confidence in its AI-driven growth strategy.

Anthropic has upgraded its Claude AI platform for the financial-services sector by introducing a research-preview Excel sidebar add-in that reads, edits, and builds spreadsheets with full audit transparency.

It’s also added numerous live-data connectors (e.g., market pricing, earnings call transcripts, document-room search) and six new pre-built “agent skills” covering tasks like discounted-cash-flow models, comparable-company analysis, due-diligence data-packs and initiating coverage reports.

These features are initially available for Max, Enterprise and Teams users and aim to accelerate modelling, research and workflow automation across finance domains.

In this addendum, OpenAI explains that GPT-5 has been enhanced to respond more safely and thoughtfully during emotionally fraught or distressing conversations. The update (launched October 3) benefitted from collaboration with more than 170 clinicians and mental-health experts, allowing GPT-5 to more reliably detect signs of distress (e.g., psychosis, mania, self-harm risk), de-escalate conversations and direct users toward real-world professional help.

The company reports that the proportion of responses falling short of its safety expectations dropped by 65-80 % compared to the prior version.

Additional measures include routing sensitive chats to a reasoning-capable model, expanding access to crisis hotlines, and adding reminders for long sessions.
