Stripe and private equity firm Advent International reportedly submitted a joint bid to acquire PayPal earlier this month.

If completed, the acquisition would unite two of the biggest names in digital payments with Stripe and Advent jointly owning PayPal.
Meet Inkling, the first in-house AI model from Thinking Machines Lab, the AI startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati. Unlike OpenAI’s flagship model, it’s open-weight, meaning outside developers and companies can download and modify it directly. For now, its outputs are limited to text, including code, styled artifacts, and structured data.
Apple Intelligence has won approval in China, arriving through a partnership with Alibaba and Baidu. Alibaba's Qwen will be the main model powering Apple Intelligence in China, with Baidu also contributing. It will run across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and visionOS for users in the country. The clearance ends nearly two years of delay since Apple Intelligence launched globally, and Alibaba and Baidu shares rose on the news.
OpenAI built GPT-Red, an internal AI that attacks its own models to find where a rogue instruction could seize control. GPT-Red breaks through on 84% of test scenarios where human testers manage just 13%. Training against it made GPT-5.6 Sol six times harder to hijack than OpenAI's model from four months earlier.

How to send emails directly from ChatGPT
You don’t need to open Gmail, write from scratch, or keep switching between tabs. ChatGPT can help you draft, edit, and send emails inside the same chat. You just tell it who the email is for, what you want to say, and the tone you want. Here is how:
Go to ChatGPT and sign in with your account.
Ask ChatGPT to draft an email. Add the recipient, and what you want the email to say.
ChatGPT will create the email in a clean block that resembles a real email editor. You can check the message, subject line, and recipient before sending.
Click Send. If your email account is not connected yet, ChatGPT will ask you to connect it first.
Once your account is connected and everything looks good, click send again. ChatGPT will deliver the email while you stay inside the chat.
