Good morning, AI enthusiasts. OpenAI just launched Sora 2, a TikTok-style social app where every video is created by AI instead of cameras.

Will social media platforms shift from user-generated content to AI-generated experiences?

In today's recap:

  • OpenAI launches TikTok competitor powered entirely by AI videos

  • JPMorgan transforms banking with company-wide AI assistant rollout

  • Chinese GLM-4.6 model rivals Claude performance at budget pricing

OpenAI takes on TikTok with Sora app

Recaply: OpenAI is joining the social media race with a new app called Sora 2, its latest AI video generator. The iOS app features an algorithmic feed that works like TikTok, showing users AI-generated videos based on their interests and activity. What makes it different? Every video is created by AI, not filmed with cameras. The company is betting that people want a dedicated space to share, discover, and remix AI content with friends.

Key notes:

  • The Sora app features a TikTok-style algorithmic feed that recommends videos based on user activity, location, and even ChatGPT conversation history.

  • Users can create "cameos" by uploading a one-time video to verify their identity, then drop themselves into any AI-generated scene.

  • The app launches free with no ads, with OpenAI planning to charge only during high-demand periods for extra video generation.

  • Parents can access controls through ChatGPT to manage infinite scroll, algorithmic personalization, and direct messaging for children.

  • The platform is currently invite-only in the US and Canada, with global expansion planned.

Impact: OpenAI's social platform gamble shows how AI companies are moving beyond tools to build entire experiences. The app could redefine social media if users embrace AI-generated content over traditional videos. However, the company faces serious challenges around content moderation and preventing misuse of the cameo feature for creating harmful deepfakes.

Recaply: Zhipu AI just released GLM-4.6, matching Claude Sonnet 4 on coding tasks at a fraction of the cost. The model expanded its context window to 200,000 tokens and runs 15% more efficiently than its predecessor.

Key notes:

  • GLM-4.6 achieves 48.6% win rate against Claude Sonnet 4 in real-world coding tests with human evaluators in Docker environments.

  • Handles 200,000-token context with 128,000-token output for complex development tasks across front-end, back-end, and data analysis.

  • Available through Claude Code, Cline, and Roo Code for $3 monthly via GLM Coding Plan subscription.

  • Open-source weights released under MIT license on HuggingFace with vLLM and SGLang deployment support.

  • 355-billion parameter model runs on Chinese Cambricon chips with FP8+Int4 quantization.

Impact: Competitive AI coding tools no longer need enterprise budgets. Open-source availability plus affordable API access democratizes advanced coding assistance. While trailing Claude Sonnet 4.5 in pure coding, the price-to-performance ratio appeals to individual developers and small teams.

JPMORGAN

JPMorgan plans full AI banking overhaul

Recaply: JPMorgan Chase is building the world's first fully AI-connected bank. The financial giant gives 250,000 employees access to its LLM Suite platform, which uses OpenAI and Anthropic models. Chief Analytics Officer Derek Waldron demonstrated how the system creates investment banking presentations in 30 seconds, work that previously took analyst teams hours to complete.

Key notes:

  • JPMorgan gives 250,000 employees access to AI tools powered by OpenAI and Anthropic, with half using them daily.

  • The bank's LLM Suite creates investment banking decks in 30 seconds instead of hours of manual work.

  • CEO Jamie Dimon made AI a major focus at the executive retreat in July 2025.

  • Operations staff will decrease by at least 10% over five years as AI handles routine tasks.

  • Every employee will eventually get a personalized AI assistant as part of the transformation.

Impact: This shift signals a fundamental change in how major financial institutions operate. JPMorgan's aggressive AI strategy could give it a significant edge over competitors, letting it serve more clients with fewer people. The bank's success or failure will likely set the template for how corporate America adopts AI in the coming years.
