OpenAI reshuffles again, considers suing Apple, and launches personal finance. Meanwhile, Mythos continues to terrify the security world and a new inference technique delivers nearly 8x speedups.

OpenAI is merging ChatGPT, Codex, and the developer API into a single product team under co-founder Greg Brockman. The goal: "one unified agentic experience." Sora is killed. Thibault Sottiaux (Codex lead) now oversees core product, while ChatGPT lead Nick Turley moves to enterprise.

It's the latest sign that OpenAI is compressing everything into a single bet: winning the AI agent war.

OpenAI Considers Legal Action Against Apple Over ChatGPT Integration OpenAI has hired outside counsel, complaining that Apple buried the ChatGPT integration in Siri, made features hard to find, and that revenue is "nowhere close to projections." Legal move likely after the Musk trial concludes.

ChatGPT Personal Finance Launches for Pro Users Connect bank accounts via Plaid to 12,000+ institutions including Chase, Fidelity, and Robinhood. Get a dashboard of portfolio performance, spending patterns, subscriptions, and upcoming payments. US Pro users only for now.

AI Breaks Every Benchmark for Autonomous Cyber Capability New benchmark data shows Mythos Preview massively outperforms GPT-5.5 on n-day exploit tasks. Mythos solved 157 test instances vs GPT-5.5's 120 in two hours. Open-weight models scored zero. On the hardest tasks, GPT-5.5 scored 71.4% vs Mythos's 68.6% — within margin of error.

Orthrus: 7.8x Faster Inference with Provably Identical Output New technique generates up to 7.8 tokens per forward pass on Qwen3-8B by training a lightweight multi-token prediction head on top of a frozen backbone. Zero quality degradation — mathematically identical output distribution. Models available on HuggingFace.

Intern-S2-Preview: 35B Scientific Multimodal Model Shanghai AI Lab released a 35B scientific foundation model that explores "task scaling" — increasing difficulty and diversity of scientific tasks. Achieves performance comparable to frontier models on research-oriented benchmarks.

Fully Offline Suitcase Robot Running Gemma 4 on Jetson Orin NX Impressive build: 30+ sensors, SenseVoice STT, Piper TTS, PixiJS face display, ~200ms cached TTFT at 14-15 tok/s. No WiFi, no cloud. Vision and OCR native to Gemma 4.

Microsoft leaked (then deleted) a new image model, and the community built multi-GPU inference over regular Ethernet.

Microsoft Accidentally Uploads "Lens" Image Model to HuggingFace Microsoft briefly published Lens and Lens-Turbo — a 3.8B parameter text-to-image model with 1440x1440 output. The repos were quickly deleted but not before the community grabbed details. Smaller than FLUX, potentially runnable on 12GB cards.

Pixal3D — High-Fidelity 3D Assets from a Single Image TencentARC's new model generates detailed 3D meshes with PBR textures from one photo. Uses back-projection for direct pixel-to-3D correspondence instead of loose attention injection. Runs locally.

ComfyUI-Mesh: Split FLUX Across GPUs Over Ethernet LAN Custom NVENC bridge that distributes FLUX model layers across machines over regular Ethernet. 5090 + laptop 4090 = 4.4s per image. Works over WiFi 6 and even Tailscale. No NVLink needed.

Bitwarden's free tier may be on borrowed time. Plus a few macOS utilities and a self-hosted bookmark manager worth checking out.

Bitwarden quietly removed "always free" and inclusion-related language from its website. New CEO Michael Sullivan touts M&A experience. The self-hosted community is concerned about Vaultwarden compatibility.

r/selfhosted hit 1,700+ upvotes on this — easily the most-discussed story of the day. If you rely on Bitwarden's free tier or Vaultwarden, worth watching closely.
