TOP STORY

OpenAI prepares GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 launch

The Summary: OpenAI is set to launch GPT-4.5 within weeks and GPT-5 within months. GPT-4.5 “Orion” will be the last standalone model, refining GPT-4o’s capabilities. GPT-5 will then merge with OpenAI’s reasoning model o3, creating a single integrated system unifying all AI tools.

Key details:

• GPT-4.5 “Orion” launches in weeks as a standalone model

• GPT-5 arrives in months, merging with o3 and integrating voice, canvas, search, and deep research

• GPT-5 will dynamically switch between reasoning and fast responses, without requiring user selection

• Free-tier users get unlimited GPT-5 access, while Plus and Pro unlock higher reasoning levels

Why it matters: GPT-4.5 “Orion” is launching soon, refining GPT-4o. But the real leap will come with GPT-5, which will introduce adaptive intelligence. It will handle everything from instant replies to complex problem solving in a unified system.

VIDEO AI

Adobe launches its “IP safe” AI video tool

The Summary: Adobe's Firefly Video Model enters public beta. The tool generates 5-second 1080p clips from text or images and ensures commercial safety by training exclusively on licensed content. The release builds on Adobe's success with the Firefly image generator, which has produced over 18 billion assets since March 2023. Integrated with Creative Cloud, it offers precise creative controls for professional video production.

Key details:

• Trained exclusively on licensed content and public domain materials

• Creates 1080p videos at 24 FPS with 8 camera movement options and keyframe controls

• Standard plan ($9.99/month) includes 20 five-second videos

• New audio features translate and lip-sync videos into 20+ languages

Why it matters: Unlike many AI video tools, Adobe deals with the legal concerns that have made many video professionals hesitant to adopt generative AI. The integration with Creative Cloud puts Adobe in a prime position to shape professional AI video production.

ANTHROPIC

Anthropic maps AI usage across jobs and tasks

The Summary: Anthropic has released an Economic Index that maps AI's role in today's workforce. By analyzing millions of Claude conversations, Anthropic found that 36% of jobs use AI for at least a quarter of their tasks. The data reveals that AI serves more as a partner than a replacement, with 57% of uses involving human collaboration rather than automation. Software development and technical writing lead AI adoption, while hands-on jobs show minimal AI integration.

Key details:

• Computer and math jobs dominate AI use at 37% of all interactions

• Only 4% of jobs use AI for more than 75% of their tasks

• Mid-to-high salary jobs are the most active AI adopters

• The research is based on anonymized analysis of millions of AI conversations to map AI use to 20,000 specific work tasks

Why it matters: This first-ever look at real AI usage data gives concrete insights into how the technology is changing work. It shows the emergence of an "AI middle class" with occupations integrating AI into specific tasks while keeping humans at the core. This pattern, combined with the concentration in mid-salary jobs, suggests a new economic structure where AI literacy becomes a key skill.
