OpenAI Launches "ChatGPT Agent"   Sam Altman is feeling good about Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and here's why: OpenAI just surprised everyone by releasing "ChatGPT Agent." This new feature can smoothly switch between thinking deeply and actually doing things, like combining ChatGPT's intelligence with research and other tools into one package! Key Details: This agent gets its own virtual computer. It can show you its thought process as it figures out what to do next.  It can also use a command line to run code, create files, and connect to your private information. You can stop it to give new instructions. Imagine asking ChatGPT to look at a wedding invite and then help you find a suitable outfit, brainstorm gift ideas, and book your hotel, all in one go! You could upload a picture and then tell ChatGPT to turn it into merchandise for a new product launch. It can also make slideshows with charts and pictures, and it will even check its own slides and fix any that aren't good enough.  Why It Matters: ChatGPT Agent scored really high on tough tests, showing it's super capable. While it has some safety checks to stop bad attacks, OpenAI says you should still be careful. It's already starting to roll out to subscribers, giving Pro users 400 queries per month and Plus/Team users 40.   Source: OpenAI News Google Search gains advanced AI-powered upgrades 🔍- [LINK] Hume AI’s EVI 3 voice model mimics personality 🗣️- [LINK] Lovable app builder achieves unicorn status with $200M 🦄- [LINK] Adobe Firefly gains DIY sound effect generator 🎥- [LINK] SpaceX plans $2B investment in Musk’s xAI 🤝- [LINK] Google hires Windsurf CEO in $2.4B talent deal 🤝- [LINK] xAI launches Grok AI companions with animated avatars 🤖- [LINK] Google’s AI now places calls on your behalf 📞- [LINK] NC State unveils self-driving AI-driven chemistry lab 🧪- [LINK] Microsoft rolls out Copilot Vision Desktop Share for Windows 🖥️- [LINK] Thanks for reading! Explore more of my work below whenever you're ready   StoryOwl: My AI tool that helps make custom storybooks with your kid as the main character.
