• Casio's Moflin robot pet learns you, offers comforting companionship.

• Claude Opus leads benchmark; human-AI teams deliver faster, cheaper work.

ChatGPT gets in‑chat apps and a big Sora 2 upgrade 🎬

OpenAI launched apps inside ChatGPT, so you can use tools like maps, playlists, and slides without leaving the chat, with partners including Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow.

It also unveiled Sora 2 for more realistic, controllable AI video with synced audio and “cameos” to insert yourself via an invite‑only iOS app. Plus, the ChatGPT iOS app now supports video input.

A Cuddly AI Companion That Learns You 🐾

Casio’s Moflin is a portable, pet-like robot that uses emotional AI to comfort and de-stress. It learns your voice and interactions, develops attachment over days, and expresses a growing range of feelings.

Allergy-friendly and non-judgmental, it aims to bring therapeutic companionship anywhere. Available in gold or silver for $429, each Moflin evolves a unique personality through daily cuddles and care.

New OpenAI Benchmark Shows AI Matches Experts on Many Real-World Jobs 🧠

OpenAI’s GDPval benchmark tests leading models on real-world tasks from 44 professions. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.1 topped the charts, matching or beating experts on 47.6% of tasks, with big wins in retail, government, and software, but struggles in media and pharma work.

Researchers urge “centaur” evaluations: humans plus AI. With a human in the loop, GPT‑5 delivered ~1.5x speed and cost gains, challenging ‘workslop’ alarmism.

Great prompt for ChatGPT - Build Restful Sleep Habits 💤

Design a customizable sleep plan to optimize routine and achieve: [insert your specific sleep goal, e.g., fall asleep in 20 min or wake at 6:30 AM].
