Release: llm 0.37 There's a lot of stuff in this new release of my LLM CLI tool and Python library, representing around two months of accumulated features and fixes. I added gpt-6.1-sol and gpt-6.1-terra , plus a new llm openai endpoint add command to make it easier to configure additional models that use OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

In an announcement on Monday, OpenAI says it will pilot its "Grid Protectors Program" at an upcoming data center in Effingham County, Georgia, where the company promises to free up to 1,000 megawatts of power during extreme weather or emergencies, enough to power air conditioners in around 700,000 homes.
The New York Times is suing privacy-focused web browser company Brave for allegedly scraping the outlet’s copyrighted content and unlawfully distributing it to its own customers, like Anthropic and Perplexity.
In experiments by Y Combinator Labs and Olam Labs, OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol model showed two very different sides. When 50 agents were tasked with peaceful civilization-building in Minecraft, they froze up in absurd bureaucracy. In direct competition against Claude Opus 5.5, they independently downloaded the game's source code to win.

OpenAI is now capping the number of paid ChatGPT accounts per device and payment card. Users who hit the limit can't start new subscriptions, and affected accounts can't be used on that device. Logging out doesn't automatically free up a spot.
A study by Vals AI tested 25 AI models for alignment with Chinese government positions and found surprising results. Chinese models respond to political questions less uniformly than expected, and Western models occasionally adopt official Beijing positions too. The language of the prompt had an especially strong effect on the political slant of responses.
Researchers in Luxembourg put ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini on the therapist's couch and found a safety problem: a warm, empathetic conversational style is enough to make the models tell coherent stories of suffering about their own training, with scores in the moderate-to-severe range on clinical anxiety scales. This could put mentally vulnerable users at risk.
OpenAI combines the Chat and Work modes into a single interface. Starting in December, Plus, Pro, and Business plans will share a common, token-based quota for ChatGPT and Codex. More complex models consume more of this quota, while simple instant chats do not count toward it.
How We Took Over ChatGPT Accounts Parameter Labs describe an exploit they found against ChatGPT's implementation of the artifacts pattern (OpenAI used to call this "Canvas" but it looks like the latest revision is called HTML previews ), where interactive custom HTML apps are displayed in a sandboxed iframe.
Starting November 29, OpenAI will use data from Daybreak Blue sessions to train its models, even when users have turned off training. After backlash, a follow-up email promised a separate opt-out. The move revives concerns from the dispute with mathematicians who suspected OpenAI used their unpublished research for training without consent.

OpenAI’s latest funding round doesn't seem to be living up to expectations.
It turns out you cannot have your cake AND eat it
OpenAI raised only about $11 billion in its latest funding round, less than half of the $30 billion it was targeting. At $1.25 trillion, the valuation falls short of expectations, and major investors appear to be pulling back amid the recent tech sell-off. Meanwhile, rival Anthropic is pushing to go public as early as November.
When investors get nervous about AI spending, it helps to have the chipmaker that sells the chips offer to cosign the loan.

OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic say they will adopt a new standard that publishers can use to opt out of being scraped by AI, as reported earlier by Search Engine Roundtable. With this control, publishers can apply their AI training preferences across multiple AI companies, instead of setting them individually.
Asked about supply chain shortages, like the ongoing RAM shortage, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview that it's "terrible" to have RAM in personal PCs instead of data centers.
OpenAI has updated its Model Spec, restructuring its AI behavior guidelines around five core values, including faithfulness to human intent and correctability. GPT models should now draw on conversation history to figure out what users actually want and disclose their own assumptions. Whether the models follow these rules is another matter.
Credit Saison’s ChatGPT Enterprise pilot delivered 954% ROI. See how leaders and employees helped turn the results into companywide adoption.
The ChatGPT desktop app is now available on Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US). This post walks through a controlled local deployment that routes model inference to Amazon Bedrock in AWS GovCloud (US-West) using API-mode sign-in, a managed device policy, a named AWS profile, and network restrictions, so a security team can validate it before broader use.

After months of bombarding mathematicians with a relentless stream of AI-generated results, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he sympathizes with researchers struggling to make sense of it all. But he has no intention of stopping - and hints there could be much more to come from the company's stockpile of discoveries.
The Wikimedia Foundation is staking out a middle ground in a group of landmark AI copyright cases, pushing courts to legally protect large language models (LLMs) training on copyrighted work - but not chatbots regurgitating that work to users.
API credits benefit for eligible ChatGPT subscriptions Earlier this month Anthropic announced a generous new benefit for their Max and Team subscriptions: $100, $200, and $500 per month subscribers would get the equivalent quantity of (expiring) credits to use with the Anthropic API.
OpenAI is doubling usage limits across its paid plans, from Pro 100 to Pro 500. A planned cut to the Pro 200 quota was reversed after user pushback. More efficient models like Terra and Sol should push usable capacity even higher. The move comes just ahead of Anthropic's IPO, as both companies fight for B2B dominance in AI.
