Can the $500B Stargate Project secure U.S. AI dominance? This is a 21st-century moonshot the U.S. cannot afford to miss.
AI is exciting, powerful, and controversial, and some critics doubt the tech delivers on its promise. But the next big wave of AI ‘agents’ may prove genuinely helpful.
The AI assistant will first be made available to subscribers of ChatGPT Pro, a $200 a month subscription, and eventually roll out into the free version of ChatGPT.
OpenAI announced that it is launching a research preview of Operator, an AI agent that can take control of a browser and perform tasks.
The artificial intelligence company first announced the Operator AI agent in November 2024, explaining that the browser-based tool is autonomous and is able to complete tasks on a computer without human assistance. OpenAI added that Operator would be first available as a research preview within the $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription plan.
It can also ask follow-up questions to further personalize the tasks it completes, such as login information for other websites. Users can take control of the screen at any time.
The new tool, called Operator, can shop for groceries or book a restaurant reservation. But it still needs help from humans.
OpenAI's latest tool performs tasks autonomously, which it says is the company's latest step toward AGI.
The announcement confirms one of two rumors that circled the internet this week. The other was about superintelligence.
Google challenges OpenAI with free Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model, offering million-token processing, native code execution, and breakthrough performance in math and science benchmarks.
TikTok got a short reprieve to make a deal. Project Stargate, a $500B AI plan from OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank, pushes Musk, Microsoft, aside. Google buys HTC VR tech.
