Meta will not sign the EU Commission's Code of Practice for General Purpose AI, citing legal uncertainty and stricter requirements than the planned EU AI law. Joel Kaplan, Meta’s Chief Global Affairs Officer, said the code could slow down AI progress in Europe and affect European companies.

"Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI."

OpenAI, by contrast, said last week it will sign the code, viewing it as a workable way to meet EU rules and grow its presence in the region. Google and Anthropic have not stated their positions.

Some European AI companies, including Mistral, recently asked the EU to delay the AI Act for two years, but the Commission declined.

OpenAI will start using Google’s cloud infrastructure for ChatGPT and its API in several countries, including the US, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the UK. Microsoft, CoreWeave, and Oracle remain key partners for providing computing power. The move comes as demand for GPU capacity continues to grow, a need OpenAI had previously met mostly through Microsoft. That exclusive partnership loosened in January. Google now adds a major customer to its cloud division, which has trailed behind Amazon and Microsoft. The announcement follows earlier deals with Oracle and CoreWeave to expand OpenAI’s infrastructure.

OpenAI has upgraded its image editing API with a feature called "High Input Fidelity," designed to preserve fine details like faces, logos, and other intricate elements during edits. Users can now make targeted changes to specific features such as facial expressions, clothing, or objects without affecting the rest of the image. According to the company, adding or removing individual objects now works more reliably as well. According to OpenAI staff, the feature is already live in ChatGPT and Sora.

OpenAI is developing new ChatGPT agents that let users create and edit presentations and spreadsheets directly in the chat, according to The Information, which spoke with someone who has access to the features. The files are compatible with PowerPoint and Excel, but don't require Microsoft's apps to use them. Instead, OpenAI relies on Microsoft's open file formats, aiming to make ChatGPT a central work platform and less dependent on Microsoft and Google tools. Other planned agents will be able to generate reports from business or public data and handle basic tasks like booking appointments on websites. The source says these agents can be slow or prone to errors, and while collaborative editing is in the works, it hasn't launched yet. The move is likely to put more strain on the already tense relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI.

OpenAI alignment researcher Sean Grove believes the most valuable programmers of the future will be those who communicate best. "If you can communicate effectively, you can program," Grove says. In his view, software development has never been just about code but about structured communication: understanding requirements, defining goals, and making them clear to both people and machines.

Grove argues that code itself is only a "lossy projection" of the original intent and values. As AI models become more powerful, he says, the real skill will be turning that intent into precise specifications and prompts.

"Whoever writes the spec be it a PM, a lawmaker, an engineer, a marketer, is now the programmer," Grove explains.
