Good evening!
Lots of new AI tech to play around with thanks to GPT-5.
And if you have downtime after exploring the new GPT, we’d love it if you gave us your thoughts on this newsletter in our (brief!) Q3 audience survey here.
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 🦾 OpenAI’s GPT-5 is Here For All ChatGPT Users
OpenAI finally launched GPT-5, its most advanced large-scale AI model. The company is making GPT-5 available to everyone through ChatGPT, even it’s free users. OpenAI claims GOT-5 is smarter, faster, and “a lot more useful,” particularly in areas like writing, coding, and health care. (CNBC)

6. 💰 Skydance’s $8Bn Acquisition of Paramount is Complete

7. 🚴 Peloton is Pivoting to Wellness & Laying Off 6%
Fitness leader Peloton may have beat Q4 expectations and reported $607 million in revenue, but the company is now leaning away from “just” cardio fitness into total wellness by integrating strength training, mediation, sleep, and nutrition with AI-powered personalization. As part of the transition, the company is laying off about 6% of its workforce, just a little over a year after laying off 15% & losing its CEO. (The Verge)
