Google is rolling out a new AI Mode feature that can check whether a product is in stock at nearby stores and, separately, let users track prices for individual hotels in Search. The update pushes the company’s AI search product further into real-world shopping and travel planning.
OpenAI has introduced a Codex-only seat for ChatGPT Enterprise and updated pricing for new workspaces, a small but telling shift that makes AI coding access easier to buy as enterprises tighten how they pay for frontier tools.
OpenAI on April 16 introduced GPT-Rosalind, a frontier reasoning model built for drug discovery, genomics analysis, protein reasoning and other scientific research tasks. The release expands OpenAI’s push beyond general-purpose assistants into specialized workflows where long-context reasoning, data handling and domain-specific analysis can carry direct commercial and research value.
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-5.4-Cyber, a variant of its flagship model tuned for defensive cybersecurity work, sharpening its enterprise pitch as demand grows for AI tools that can fit into security operations.
OpenAI has added an optional location-sharing feature to ChatGPT, giving the assistant access to approximate or precise device location so it can tailor local recommendations, weather and news responses more closely to where a user is. The change, documented in recent ChatGPT release notes, adds a practical new layer of context while keeping the setting off by default.
CoreWeave said on April 10, 2026, that it had reached a multi-year agreement with Anthropic to supply cloud computing capacity, with service expected to come online later this year. The deal adds to a fast-moving wave of AI infrastructure contracts as model developers race to secure enough compute to train and run larger systems.
Amazon is investing another $5 billion in Anthropic and may add $20 billion more, a deal that turns one of AI’s most important rivalries into a long-horizon bet on compute, cloud capacity and model scale.
Google.org is expanding its Digital Futures Fund with $15 million in new support for think tanks and academic groups studying how artificial intelligence is reshaping the economy, innovation, security and energy use. The funding arrives as companies and governments face mounting pressure to measure AI’s practical effects beyond model releases and product launches.
OpenAI introduced GPT-Rosalind on April 16, 2026, a frontier reasoning model aimed at drug discovery, genomics analysis, protein reasoning, and scientific research workflows. The release extends the company’s model lineup into a more specialized scientific use case.
OpenAI has updated ChatGPT with GPT-5.3 Instant Mini as the fallback model after users hit rate limits for GPT-5.3 Instant, while also introducing a new $100-a-month Pro plan that expands Codex usage for heavier users. The changes, announced in the April 9 release notes, show how OpenAI is packaging ChatGPT more tightly around both conversational use and developer workflows.
