OpenAI is reportedly working on a new social media platform that could rival X (formerly Twitter), according to insider sources. The experimental app, being quietly developed under the radar, is said to focus on AI-enhanced conversations, blending real-time social interaction with OpenAI’s language models. Though still in early stages, this move hints at OpenAI’s broader ambitions to go beyond AI tools and enter the consumer social networking space—where human-AI interactions might redefine how we connect, share, and engage online.

OpenAI is in talks to acquire Windsurf, an AI coding startup, for approximately $3 billion. This acquisition would be OpenAI’s largest to date and aims to help the company stay ahead in the generative AI race.Windsurf was in talks with investors such as Kleiner Perkins and General Catalyst to raise funding at a $3 billion valuation, the report added.It closed a $150 million funding round led by General Catalyst last year, valuing it at $1.25 billion.

OpenAI released Codex CLI, an open-source tool that translates natural language commands into executable code within terminal environments. It leverages OpenAI’s language models to interpret user inputs and supports multimodal inputs, enhancing its versatility. The tool operates locally, ensuring data privacy and reducing latency, and offers configurable autonomy levels for tailored behavior. To begin using Codex CLI, visit the official GitHub repository for installation instructions and documentation github.com/openai/co…

OpenAI has introduced two advanced models, o3 and o4-mini, emphasizing improved reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and efficiency. The o3 model integrates image analysis into its decision-making process, allowing for operations such as zooming and rotating images within prompts. It also autonomously utilizes tools, including web search, Python code execution, and file analysis, to deliver well-rounded results. This model has established new benchmarks on tests like Codeforces and SWE-bench, surpassing its predecessor, o1. Meanwhile, o4-mini offers cost-effective, high-performance reasoning, excelling in math, coding, and visual tasks, while supporting greater throughput for high-demand applications. Both models are available to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, and they represent the latest step forward in delivering more sophisticated and practical AI solutions.
