Hi Synapticians!

For months, OpenAI has shown off single‑use helpers : Deep Research for writing source‑packed reports, Operator for clicking around a virtual PC, plus smaller plug‑ins that run code or dig through your Gmail. Fun, but each lived in its own bubble.

ChatGPT Agent pops those bubbles. Switch on “agent mode” and ChatGPT can pick and mix every tool it needs (browsing, coding, clicking, emailing…) so one plain‑English prompt can finish an entire job end‑to‑end. Demos range from planning a date night to building a slide deck, all without you hand‑holding each step.

Under the hood is a new model that doubles OpenAI’s best score on the monster “Humanity’s Last Exam” (now 41.6 %) and quadruples the previous record on “FrontierMath” (27.4 %). In simple terms: it’s much better at figuring things out on its own and picking the right tool for the job.

The feature starts rolling out today to Pro, Plus, and Team subscribers (Enterprise and Education get it later this summer, EEA and Switzerland still waiting). If it works as promised, this could be the first time an AI assistant actually does the work instead of just talking about it.

Here’s the rest of the news about AI today:

• A recent survey indicates that 70% of Luxembourgers have used AI tools, with ChatGPT being the most popular

• Mistral's Le Chat receives significant updates, including a deep research mode, multilingual reasoning, and advanced image editing

• OpenAI has announced a partnership with Google to utilize its cloud infrastructure for ChatGPT
