Claims
- GPT-Live-1 introduces full-duplex audio, allowing ChatGPT to listen and speak simultaneously without turn-based pauses.
- GPT-5.6 is reportedly OpenAI's last 5.x release, with GPT-6 expected within about a month built on a significantly larger pretraining base than the ~4T 'Spud' base.
- OpenAI is launching Sol, Terra, and Luna alongside GPT-5.6 following Commerce Department clearance.
- Microsoft is reportedly replacing some OpenAI and Anthropic model calls with in-house MAI models in Copilot products like Excel and Outlook.
- Anthropic committed $50B to new U.S. data centers to meet growing Claude demand.
Key quotes
The model wars have officially entered their pay-per-view fight night era.
The old version has been turn-based: you spoke, it waited, it answered, and sometimes it monologued like your uncle explaining airline miles.
If Sol pressures Anthropic to make Fable easier to access, or if Fable forces OpenAI to keep Sol inside subscriptions, users win.
