    Microsoft just accidentally made a big Call of Duty announcement.

    The Xbox Game Pass app on iOS and Android has been blasting out notifications to let people know “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is coming to Game Pass on day one later this year!” It looks like someone at Microsoft pushed the notification too early because it links to an article that doesn’t exist yet. Activision will debut a Black Ops 6 live action trailer at 10AM ET / 7AM PT / 3PM UK today.

    iOS and Android users have spotted a key notification.

Microsoft built an even bigger supercomputer for this work, and now Altman hints that new modalities and overall intelligence will be key to OpenAI’s next model. “The most important thing and it sounds like the most boring thing I can say... the models are just going to get smarter, generally across the board,” says Altman.
