OPENAI 🔥: GPT-6.1 Sol now has 500k default context length for Codex and ChatGPT Work. > Earlier, default context length was set to 272k. > OpenAI also plans to increase this default value in the future even further. Default bump 👀

OPENAI 🔥: Dots access will be included in Pro 100 plan and soon will be expanded further as well. How soon? 👀

ChatGPT vs Gemini 👀 ChatGPT seems to be on a steady growth again for the past 4 months in terms of web traffic share. > ChatGPT went up from 53% to 56% while it is no near 71% it had a year ago. > Gemini went down only from 26% to 25%; Earlier growth last year was a result of Gemini 3 success in particular. > Claude is definitely a sleeping beast over here. If Anthropic will start looking at general consumers as they do at developers, this chart would change quite quickly. I also feel like average LTV for these users is quite high and majority of people can react to the dynamic of AI progress. Will we see another big change on this chart any time soon?

GOOGLE 🔥: Gemini Argon 4, Gemini Flash 3.8, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 will be available in the recently announced Gemini Agent for Gemini Business. It is the first time when Claude models would appear on Gemini, along with Google’s models. This should help Google to compete for enterprise customers as loads of them are moving to Claude and ChatGPT these days. In addition, it is the beginning of multi model future that we will start seeing more and more across the board. https://x.com/ThomasOrTK/status/2108245829530325307/video/1

A new Wallet, marked as “Coming Soon” appeared inside ChatGPT app almost at the same time when Wold app is getting rebranded into World Money and becoming an actual wallet. > Wallet in ChatGPT will likely be meant to be used by Dots for agentic shopping. > World, an app that offers a “proof of human” via World ID along with a crypto wallet was co-founded by Sam Altman. Coincidental? 👀 In general it would be a solid move to consolidate these two products towards the same direction. If that’s the plan, eventually, it will give OpenAI immediate access to its own payment infrastructure.

ChatGPT profiles now have new sections for Top Plugins and a Showcase with Sites. Users can configure the list of sites to showcase and make them publicly visible. Finally, something for non-Pro users 👀 Interesting to note that Perplexity was again leading the pack over here - we will see more and more "premium" experiences being the core focus for AI labs.

Drafted AI floor plan generator is now available in Autodesk Revit as a plugin!
