🚀 OpenAI’s Dev Day 2025: A New Chapter for ChatGPT

  • OpenAI launched in-ChatGPT Apps (e.g. Canva, Spotify) plus AgentKit tools for building agent workflows, essentially turning ChatGPT into a conversational OS.

  • They opened API access to stronger models (GPT-5 Pro, Sora 2, realtime voice models) and made GPT-5-Codex generally available with enterprise controls.

  • OpenAI struck a compute deal with AMD (6 GW commitment, up to 10 % stake).

🤝 Deloitte + Anthropic: Scaling Trusted AI Together

  • Deloitte will roll out Anthropic’s Claude across its 470,000 employees and build industry-specific solutions in regulated sectors using its Trustworthy AI framework.

🤖 OpenAI Agent Builder: Visual AI Workflows Made Easy

  • Drag-and-Drop Workflow Design: Agent Builder offers a visual canvas for creating and versioning multi-agent workflows, allowing developers to design logic with drag-and-drop nodes and configure custom guardrails.

  • Seamless Integration with Tools: The Connector Registry enables admins to manage data and tool connections across OpenAI products, supporting integrations with services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Microsoft Teams.

  • Enhanced Safety and Performance: Developers can implement Guardrails to protect agents from unintended behavior and utilize Evals capabilities, including datasets, trace grading, and automated prompt optimization, to measure and improve agent performance.

🧠 MIT Study: AI Use Linked to Reduced Brain Activity

  • A recent MIT study found that users relying on AI tools like ChatGPT showed decreased brain activity during cognitive tasks, indicating reduced mental engagement.

  • Participants using AI assistance produced essays with less neural and linguistic variation, suggesting a decline in critical thinking and creativity.

  • The study also observed a drop in "ownership" of work, with AI users struggling to recall or quote their own writing, highlighting potential impacts on learning and memory retention.
