Anthropic just released Claude Sonnet 4.5, calling it the “best coding model in the world” and showcasing top-tier performance on development benchmarks while maintaining the same API pricing as its predecessor. Sonnet 4.5 achieves SOTA results on real-world software development (SWE-bench verified), and a nearly 20% upgrade from Opus 4.1 on computer use.

Growing up comes with plenty of firsts. With a Cash App Card, teens have a safe way to practice saving, managing money, and spending—all with their own debit card, and you as their guide.

Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank. Banking services are provided by Cash App’s bank partner(s). Prepaid debit cards issued by Sutton Bank, Member FDIC. See Terms and Conditions.

OpenAI just rolled out direct purchasing inside ChatGPT for U.S. users, letting shoppers complete transactions without leaving the conversation interface through a new feature called Instant Checkout. The company partnered with Stripe to create the system, initially supporting Etsy sellers with availability for over 1M Shopify merchants coming soon

OpenAI is reportedly developing a standalone social platform powered by its upcoming Sora 2 video model, designed to mimic TikTok's vertical scrolling feed but exclusively featuring AI-generated content instead of user uploads. The platform will limit clips to 10 seconds and include identity verification, allowing users to authorize their likeness for video generations.

After months of debate between tech giants and safety lobbyists, California Governor Gavin Newsom has finally signed the landmark SB-53 bill (which was passed by the state two weeks ago), making California the first US state to mandate safety reporting for large AI developers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google DeepMind.

Despite millions spent on financial software, many finance teams still rely on Excel to close their books and reconcile numbers while preparing them for audit. Two former Microsoft executives view it as a problem — and they have started Maximor to replace spreadsheets with AI agents for the grunt work finance teams perform.
