OpenAI launched GPT-Live, a new voice system that listens and speaks at the same time, and it replaces the old Advanced Voice Mode as the default across free and paid ChatGPT tiers.

The full-duplex design processes audio continuously instead of waiting for silence, so ChatGPT can interrupt, pause, or translate in real time, and it hands harder questions to GPT-5.5 running in the background.

OpenAI says testers preferred GPT-Live in about 76 percent of head-to-head chats, though its biggest benchmark jumps, like a near-doubled expert science score, come from GPT-5.5 rather than the voice layer itself.

SpaceXAI launched Grok 4.5, its first model built jointly with Cursor, and priced it at $2 and $6 per million input and output tokens, well below Opus 4.8's $5 and $25.

Musk pitched it as an Opus-class model that runs faster and costs less, and SpaceXAI says Grok 4.5 uses roughly four times fewer tokens than Opus 4.8 on SWE Bench Pro coding tasks.

Independent tester Artificial Analysis ranks Grok 4.5 fourth overall, behind Fable 5, GPT-5.5, and Opus 4.8, so the real pitch is not topping the charts but matching them for far less money.

Google launched Video Remix in Google Photos, powered by its new Gemini Omni model, letting you transform a saved clip in seconds by picking one-tap templates like watercolor, oil painting, or cinematic relighting.

The launch is Google's latest move to fold AI into consumer apps as it competes with Apple, OpenAI, and Adobe, and it rolls out to paying AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers across 14 countries.

Google pitches it as effortless editing in a few taps, but the catch is a paid AI subscription, which conveniently gives you one more reason to stay parked inside Google's ecosystem.

Meta announced a mandatory update that shuts off its AI glasses' camera if someone physically modifies or destroys the capture LED, the white light that signals to nearby people when the glasses are recording.

The change answers a backlash over people using the glasses to record others without consent, and Meta says it will also remove listings, ban accounts, and pursue legal action against businesses selling LED-tampering services.

The safeguard lands the same week Meta rolled out a tool that uses public Instagram photos unless you opt out, so critics note the fix targets tampering while Meta keeps widening default data collection.

The EU's General Court dismissed Apple's challenge to its "gatekeeper" status, so Apple must keep opening its App Store and iOS to rivals under the Digital Markets Act, the bloc's law curbing dominant tech platforms.

The court rejected Apple's core argument that its five app stores for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, and TV count separately, ruling they serve one purpose and rightly form a single regulated platform.

Apple can still appeal to the EU's top court, but the loss stings, since Apple already blames these same DMA rules for indefinitely delaying its new Siri assistant across the EU.
