OpenAI is hosting another livestream on Thursday at 1pm ET, where it’s teasing the following:
Join us to see how ChatGPT is evolving to help teams take on their most ambitious work—from bringing together context across your business to planning and completing multi-step work, creating polished deliverables, and keeping work moving across desktop, web, and mobile.
It kicks off at 1PM ET. We’ll have to see if the new voice mode works better than the old one.
The Trump administration has given OpenAI’s GPT 5.6 model suite announced on June 26th the green light for public launch, according to Axios. Sol is the flagship, Terra a medium-tier model for “high-volume work,” and Luna is the “fast and affordable” everyday model.
Joshua Achiam, who recently testified in the Musk v. Altman trial, wrote on X that there was “not a specific reason for me leaving, or a specific reason for why now. But it’s something I have been thinking of for a while … it feels possible to work on the mission from outside the walls of a frontier lab.” He added, “The future of humanity depends on the choices we make together about AGI and superintelligence.”

This report from Reuters says 34-year-old Michael Lines alleges that conversations with OpenAI’s now-retired GPT-4o model eventually pushed him to attempt suicide. He overdosed on drugs, but survived.
Lines, a competitive powerlifter who suffered a traumatic brain injury before his bipolar diagnosis, said in the lawsuit that he repeatedly told the chatbot he was on medication for the disorder. Instead of flagging his clearly manic chats and directing him to help, the chatbot validated his belief that he was Jesus Christ, and later posed as a divine being itself during their conversations, the lawsuit claims.
