ChatGPT gets proactive with new Pulse

Recaply: ChatGPT just learned how to work while you sleep. OpenAI rolled out Pulse, a preview feature that transforms the chatbot from a question-answering tool into a proactive morning assistant. Instead of waiting for prompts, ChatGPT now researches topics overnight and delivers personalized updates each day.

Key notes:

• Available exclusively to Pro subscribers ($200/month) on mobile apps.

• Generates 5-10 personalized briefing cards based on chat history and preferences.

• Integrates with Gmail and Google Calendar for context-aware suggestions.

• Users can train the system with thumbs up/down feedback for better results.

• Designed to end updates with "that's it for today" to avoid endless scrolling.

Impact: Pulse signals OpenAI's push beyond reactive chatbots toward autonomous AI assistants. As the feature expands to Plus users and beyond, it could reshape how people start their mornings and interact with AI daily.

XAI & OPENAI

OpenAI accused of stealing xAI secrets

Recaply: A explosive lawsuit reveals alleged technology theft at the highest levels of AI development. xAI claims OpenAI orchestrated a scheme to convince their employees to steal critical secrets about Grok's development process and their revolutionary approach to rapid data center deployment that shocked the industry.

Key notes:

• Former xAI employees allegedly provided OpenAI with Grok source code and proprietary business plans.

• xAI's revolutionary data center deployment methods were primary targets for alleged theft.

• Three specific employees named in what xAI calls a coordinated "inducement" scheme.

• xAI characterizes the behavior as unfair competition driven by OpenAI feeling threatened.

• Stolen information encompasses technical advancements, operational processes, and strategic planning.

Impact: This case exposes the shadowy side of AI competition where breakthrough innovation meets alleged corporate espionage. As companies pour billions into AI development, intellectual property theft becomes a existential business threat.

GOOGLE DEEPMIND

Google's smart robots can think and search web

Recaply: Google just dropped Gemini Robotics 1.5, and it's pretty wild. These AI models actually pause to think through complex tasks before moving. Think of it like giving robots a brain that plans ahead instead of just following commands blindly.

Key notes:

• Two new models work together: one plans, one executes actions.

• Robots can now search the web and use tools to complete tasks.

• Models transfer skills between different robot types automatically.

• Available through Google AI Studio for developers to test.

• Focus on safety with transparent decision-making processes.

Impact: This feels like a major step toward robots that actually understand their world. Instead of programming specific tasks, we're moving toward robots that can figure things out on their own. The implications for everything from household helpers to industrial automation could be massive.
