OpenAI is demonstrating how deep research agents can automate complex research tasks. These agents use the recently released o3-deep-research-2025-06-26 model through OpenAI's API, as well as web search and internal document search with the MCP system. The typical workflow involves four specialized agents: Triage, Clarification, Instruction, and Research. When a user submits a query, the system first checks and, if needed, clarifies it. Then, an instruction agent builds a structured research request, which the research agent carries out.

For simpler tasks, OpenAI offers a lightweight single agent powered by the o4-mini model. This setup is intended for developers looking to create scalable research workflows with OpenAI's tools.

The Trump administration is preparing a series of executive orders aimed at accelerating the expansion of AI data centers in the United States, according to Reuters. The plan focuses on lowering barriers to power grid access and making federal land available for new facilities, addressing the rising electricity demand driven by AI applications. A formal action plan is expected to be unveiled on July 23. Faster permitting based on nationwide water rights framework is also under consideration. Critics warn that the U.S. power grid is already overburdened, with lengthy wait times for new energy projects. Earlier in his term, Trump declared an energy emergency and threw his support behind the Stargate Project with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank. He is scheduled to speak at an AI event in Pennsylvania on July 15.

OpenAI has removed all references to its "io" project after a trademark dispute with IYO Audio, whose name is pronounced the same as "io." The planned AI device, a collaboration between Sam Altman and Jony Ive, was originally teased under the "io" name, but IYO Audio objected and took legal action. IYO Audio, which is working on a similar AI product and presented it during a 2024 TED Talk, claims rights to the name. OpenAI says it disagrees with IYO's trademark claim and is reviewing its options. It's unclear if Ive intended to keep using the "io" name after OpenAI acquired the hardware startup, which was founded before the official announcement of the partnership.

Former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati has raised $2 billion for her new AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab. The six-month-old company is now valued at $10 billion, with no public product or revenue. According to its website, the startup focuses on human-AI collaboration and customizable AI, avoiding the more lofty superintelligence goals promoted by other labs. Murati left OpenAI in fall 2024 after internal disagreements. The high valuation appears driven by her reputation, similar to Safe Super Intelligence, the startup led by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, which is valued at over $30 billion with no product.
