AI automation tools and Apple’s surprise $599 MacBook headlined today, with MCP infrastructure and developer utilities rounding things out.
A landmark day. GPT-5.4 officially drops with native computer use and 1M token context, FlashAttention-4 pushes GPU utilization past 70%, and the Pentagon formally labels Anthropic a supply chain risk — a first for any American company.
GPT-5.4 is officially here — OpenAI’s most capable model to date. It scores 75% on OSWorld (beating the human baseline of 72.4%), 83.3% on ARC-AGI-2 Pro, and comes with native computer use baked into the API. Context window jumps to 1M tokens.
Available in three variants: standard GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 Thinking (extended reasoning for Plus/Pro users), and GPT-5.4 Pro via API. OpenAI claims 33% fewer factual errors per claim and 18% fewer responses containing any errors vs. GPT-5.2.
Quick hits from the AI world.
