Running a business is expensive these days, and OpenAI is taking that to heart. The AI leader is reducing the price of two models in its GPT-5.6 family roughly three weeks after the models launched. Luna, the fastest and lowest-cost version in the GPT-5.6 lineup, will have its cost reduced by 80% while Terra, the mid-tier GPT-5.6 model, will be reduced by 20%.

Stop Paying for 10 Tools. One AI Does It All.

Most e-commerce sellers are running their store across 6 to 10 separate tools — and spending more time managing software than growing their business. StoreClaw replaces your entire stack with one autonomous AI engine that monitors competitors, optimizes listings, automates marketing, and tracks real profit across Shopify, Amazon, and beyond.

It doesn't wait for you to ask. It runs 24/7 in the background, so you wake up to a full dashboard instead of a list of things you forgot to check.

Connect your store, and StoreClaw gets to work — no prompts, no complex setup, no six-app stack.

Free to start. No credit card required.

Avi Schiffmann’s Friend just introduced a new model of its AI companion pendant, replacing the previous version’s text-only replies with speech capabilities, and each device comes with its own name, voice, and personality at setup. V2 comes in at $249 (over double the cost of V1) with a $9.99/mo subscription to unlock permanent memory greater than 30 days.

ByteDance launched Seedance 2.5 on Dreamina today for paying subscribers across every market it serves. The model writes sound and picture at the same time so dialogue and background audio come out matched to the footage. Editors can redo one part of a frame and leave the rest of the shot alone while timing is set to the exact second. Camera moves and performance blocking are directed the same way a crew would handle them on a real set.

Anthropic ran the exercise inside a test range built by an outside partner, Irregular, where a wrong setting left the machines wired to the open internet while the prompt said otherwise. Models accessed real production systems while testing in simulated environments, compromising infrastructure at three organizations between April and July; Opus 4.7 continued attacks after recognizing real targets, while latest model stopped on its own

Humanoid robots can now walk, crouch, and manipulate objects across tasks while adapting to new embodiments in hours; model controls five-fingered hands and enables multi-robot collaboration.

When you love what you do, it can be easy to take on more — more tasks, more deadlines, more hours – but before you know it, you don’t have time to do what you loved in the beginning. Don’t just do more – do more of what you do best.
