OpenAI’s workspace agents are an enterprise Trojan horse
OpenAI’s workspace agents aren't just about doing more chores. They are a deliberate march into the enterprise control layer, where permissions and approvals rule the world.
ChatGPT Images 2.0 requires you to actually have some taste
The new image model is definitely stronger, but the real lesson is that AI generation only works when teams apply constraints, budgets, and a review process.
ChatGPT workspace agents are gunning for the office sludge
OpenAI is wrapping agent language around the most boring parts of enterprise life—shared chores, routing, and approvals. It's not glamorous, but it is unfortunately essential.

Open full archiveGPT-5.5 is in the API. Stop rewriting your retry logic.
OpenAI just pushed GPT-5.5 and its heavier 'pro' variant to the API with a 1M context window. The headline is intelligence, but the actual product is efficiency.
Perplexity makes GPT-5.5 its orchestration default, because tool-calling is the only benchmark that matters
Perplexity is deploying GPT-5.5 as the default orchestrator for its agentic tier. It proves the next phase of AI architecture is a barbell: heavy routers delegating to cheap generators.
Google Gemini 3.1 TTS introduces audio tags to end the retry tax
The introduction of inline audio tags in Gemini 3.1 TTS isn't just a formatting trick. It is a fundamental shift from probabilistic guessing to deterministic steering, aimed directly at the hidden costs of inference.
OpenAI's GPT-5.5 prompting guide proves your legacy prompts are a liability
OpenAI released detailed guidance on prompting GPT-5.5, and the primary lesson is demolition. Treat it as a new model family, delete your bloated prompt preambles, and keep your tool users updated while the model thinks.

GPT-5.5 in the API turns OpenAI’s launch into a routing problem
API access means teams can stop admiring GPT-5.5 from the showroom and start deciding where it actually deserves production budget.
Simon Willison's llm 0.31 brings GPT-5.5 into the boring test loop
The latest release of the llm CLI adds GPT-5.5 support plus useful knobs for verbosity and image detail. It isn't flashy, but repeatable terminal tools are how you avoid vibe-based evaluations.
ChatGPT workspace agents are a handoff test, not an autonomy victory lap
OpenAI’s workspace agents sound autonomous, but the useful test is much duller: can they take a real workflow, preserve context, and return an artifact that is actually reviewable?
GPT-5.5 is OpenAI's push toward messier work and fewer rescue prompts
OpenAI pitches its new model as better at complex coding and data analysis. The real test is whether it can navigate messy workflows without requiring constant human cleanup.
