OpenAI Operator is now available in more countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. The EU has been left out for now, as well as Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland. However, work is continuing to make Operator available in these countries as well, the company said. The AI agent can operate a web browser independently and is currently only available to ChatGPT Pro users. OpenAI plans to extend the service to Plus, Team, and Enterprise users at a later date. The Deep Research feature, introduced shortly after Operator, has only recently become available in the EU.

ChatGPT reaches more than 400 million weekly users, according to OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap. Lightcap says more than two million business users use ChatGPT at work, and use of the Reasoning Model API has increased fivefold since the launch of o3-mini. OpenAI plans to make GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 available for chat and API "soon". GPT-5 will be available to free users with no usage caps, but Plus and Pro users will receive more inference time for more complex tasks. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently announced GPT-5, which combines OpenAI's GPT and o-series into a single model. Lightcap says additional agent capabilities and "a few other things" will follow later this year.

OpenAI's board of directors has firmly closed the door on Elon Musk's acquisition plans. In a statement posted on X, board member Bret Taylor framed the decision as a catalyst for positive transformation, announcing plans to strengthen OpenAI's non-profit structure and double down on its founding mission: developing AI that benefits humanity as a whole. The rejection comes in response to a $97.4 billion takeover bid from Musk and a group of investors. Musk claimed he wanted to reshape OpenAI into what he described as an "open-source, safety-focused force." However, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman sees different motivations at play, suggesting that Musk's real aim is to neutralize a potential competitor to his own AI venture, xAI.
