TOP STORY

OpenAI launches ChatGPT Atlas browser with built-in agent mode

The Summary: OpenAI has released ChatGPT Atlas, a new Chromium-based web browser with ChatGPT built in. Atlas allows users to chat directly with AI about a web page, complete tasks using agent mode, and optionally enable browser memories that remember context across sites. This launch positions OpenAI to compete with Gemini in Chrome and Perplexity Comet by embedding AI models into native web browsing.

Key details:

• Agent mode, in preview for Plus, Pro, and Business tiers, can open tabs, click, and fill forms

• Browser memories store specific details (not full page content) and can be viewed, archived, or deleted

• Privacy critics warn Atlas could expose users to prompt-injection attacks and data leaks as the AI gains access to browsing data

• Launches globally for macOS today; free and paid ChatGPT users can download it, with Windows, iOS, and Android coming soon

Why it matters: OpenAI is betting the web's next phase is about doing rather than searching. Atlas turns ChatGPT into an intelligent workspace that sits between users and their digital tasks, potentially displacing both browsers and search engines. If successful, OpenAI would control a new access layer for the internet. The open question is whether users will accept AI browsers when trust, privacy, and habits stand in the way.

Google Veo 3.1 ranks #1 in AI video generation

The Summary: Google DeepMind has launched Veo 3.1, its upgraded AI video model with sound. The update adds precise editing tools and higher realism for image-to-video and text-to-video creation. Since Flow debut in May, users have made over 275 million videos. The rollout shows Google’s focus on merging cinematic quality with precise control.

Key details:

• Veo 3.1 is the first model in Video Arena to break a 1400 score

• Image-to-video quality improved by 70+ points over Veo 3.0

• Audio generation in “Frames to Video”, “Ingredients to Video” and “Extend”

• Flow is Google’s AI filmmaking tool with scene editing

• Enterprise rollout via Vertex AI and Gemini API

Why it matters: While Veo 3.1 takes the top spot, its approach differs from OpenAI’s Sora 2. Google’s model is built for control and composability, giving professional creators a way to script, extend, and edit scenes with precision. Sora 2, by contrast, optimizes for reach and virality, focusing on short-form social feed video creation.

Google DeepMind AI finds new immune pathway in cancer research

The Summary: Google DeepMind and Yale researchers introduced Cell2Sentence-Scale 27B, an AI model that reads the molecular language of single cells. The model predicted that one drug could flip ‘invisible’ tumors into ones the immune system can ‘see’. Lab experiments confirmed the prediction, revealing a previously unknown immune pathway that could open new directions in cancer treatment.

Key details:

• The model screened 4,000 drugs to spot context-dependent effects

• It identified that silmitasertib, an interferon-conditional amplifier, is effective when the immune system is trying but failing to detect tumors

• In lab tests made tumors 50% more visible to immune cells

• Most of the predictions had never been tied to cancer before

Why it matters: Google’s AI succeeded in finding a testable idea. This approach allows models to generate their own hypotheses, and use living cells to prove them. Hopefully scaling laws in AI may translate into discovery laws for biology, where models reason about life’s hidden rules in the same way LLMs reason about text.
