Why is this important? The Agent mode in Atlas (available exclusively to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users) will also see significant upgrades. These include faster first replies, a more reliable pause state, fewer missed triggers, and smoother animations.
Why should I care? If you’re among the early adopters on macOS who’ve tried ChatGPT Atlas, you may have noticed the absence of basic browser functions such as user profiles. Many enthusiasts eager for OpenAI’s take on the AI-powered web browser also pointed out these shortcomings, but the company has responded quickly.

OK, what’s next? Once these foundational updates and AI refinements are in place, they’ll set the stage for Atlas to evolve into a more integrated, versatile, and AI-centric browser platform. As new features accelerate adoption, the browser is expected to expand beyond macOS to Windows, iOS, and Android. In the near future, ChatGPT Atlas could help users work, research, and shop online more efficiently, blending the best of browsing and AI assistance into a single experience. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has got a new Shared Projects feature that lets multiple users work, chat, and share files from within the interface.
The ethics of talking to an AI chatbot, and what kind of information they can return in return, is a topic of hot debate. The risks of misleading medical information, incitement to violent actions, and detachment from real-world experiences stir intense conversations. But it seems the language you use while talking with AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini also affects the quality of answers you get. As per fresh research, being rude could be more useful than acting polite.
The big picture
The problem of biases has plagued AI chatbots ever since ChatGPT landed a few years ago, and changed the whole landscape of conversational assistants. Research has repeatedly uncovered how chatbot responses show gender, political, racial, and cultural bias. Now, OpenAI says that its latest GPT-5 model for ChatGPT is the least biased, at least when it comes to politics.
What’s the big story?
What’s happened? Sora’s release buzz opened up the door for opportunists. Some clones were brand-new, while others were older apps that slapped on “Sora” naming right after the official launch to ride search momentum.
According to TechCrunch, App Store analysts Appfigures counted more than a dozen Sora-branded titles post-launch, over half leaning on “Sora 2” to snag keyword traffic.
