IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Rebuilding the Internet, one agent and super app at a time 🔥

OpenAI just announced ChatGPT Agent, a major upgrade that transforms ChatGPT into a fully capable general-purpose AI assistant. Now live for Pro users (with Plus and Team subscribers next), the agent can autonomously complete tasks like generating slides, running code, navigating websites, pulling info from Gmail or GitHub, and even using APIs and terminals—just from a natural language prompt. It merges existing tools like Operator and Deep Research, scores higher than past models on tough benchmarks, and includes built-in safety checks for actions like purchases or CRM updates. This marks OpenAI’s boldest step yet toward real-world autonomy in AI tools.

Coinbase just rebranded its wallet into the Base App, an all-in-one crypto-powered super app aiming to merge social, payments, and mini-apps into one sleek interface. Built on the lightning-fast Base Chain (now with 200ms block times), the app transforms every post into a coin, letting creators monetize from day one. It bundles Base Account (a universal crypto sign-in), Base Build (a dev suite), and Base Pay—a one-click USDC checkout integrated with Shopify, offering 1% cashback. Inspired by Asia’s super apps, Coinbase is betting big on stablecoins, creator tools, and frictionless UX to push crypto beyond trading and into everyday life.

Moonshot AI just dropped Kimi K2, a crazy powerful open-source language model that’s already beating big names like GPT-4.1 and Claude 4 on coding and autonomous agent benchmarks, all while being way cheaper to train thanks to a new optimizer that keeps training rock-solid even at a trillion parameters. With 1 trillion parameters total and 32 billion active ones, it’s built to crush coding tasks and more, and you can try it free at Kimi.ai or tap into it via API. This move shakes up the AI scene by pushing better open models into the community, though Moonshot’s real play is to pull devs in and hopefully convert them into paying enterprise users down the line.

Mark Zuckerberg just laid out Meta’s huge bet on AI with plans to build massive data centers like Prometheus (launching 2026) and the 5-gigawatt Hyperion coming later, all under a new Superintelligence Labs division focused on long-term AI breakthroughs. Meta’s already using AI to boost its ad business, selling more ads at higher prices and is banking on new tools like its AI app, image-to-video ads, and smart glasses to open fresh revenue streams. While Meta’s stock is up 20% this year, some investors are wary about whether this giant spending spree will pay off long-term. Still, with Zuckerberg personally driving top AI talent recruitment, it’s clear Meta is all in on the AI race.
