According to The Defiant, the Telegram crypto application Walt (formerly Wallet in Telegram) announced the launch of AI agent trading features on October 20. Users can connect to Mira developed by The Open Platform, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Anthropic's Claude to manage perpetual contract positions. The connected agents can access real-time perpetual contract prices and market news, view user holdings, leverage, and liquidation risks, and open or close long and short positions based on instructions. They can also set simple rules such as take profit, stop loss, and dollar-cost averaging, monitoring positions around the clock.In terms of security mechanisms, AI agents can only operate funds deposited in dedicated trading accounts and cannot withdraw or transfer funds. Order execution is turned off by default; agents can only analyze and suggest, and users must manually enable it to place actual orders. Users can set their own agent instructions and trading limits, view each step of their operations in real-time, and disconnect at any time. Walt's founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov stated that traditional trading applications are built around terminals, charts, and order tickets, requiring users to learn how to use them, while Telegram users already hold funds in Walt.Walt's perpetual contract business launched in April this year through the decentralized exchange Lighter, offering over 50 markets and supporting up to 50x leverage, settled in USDT. The application was renamed from Wallet in Telegram to Walt on September 28, with developers claiming over 150 million users. Mira launched in February, surpassing 2 million users in May, with over 500,000 monthly active users. Additionally, Robinhood also released an AI trading agent based on dedicated accounts last month.

Notion announced an upgrade to its AI features. Notion Agent can now be used on standalone computers and browsers, improving context management, while introducing a new "Review for me" mode with security checks, allowing tasks to run for up to 24 hours.The upgraded Auto model routing will balance quality, speed, and cost based on tasks. The company claims it has achieved results close to Opus 5.5 and Astra in over 20 common tasks, with an average cost reduction of about 90%. Notion also supports personal Agents connecting to existing ChatGPT subscriptions, and enterprises can enter private Alpha testing with built-in API key functionality.Notion MCP memory synchronization has been launched, and the feature for using skills through MCP will be available soon. AI usage will be incorporated into a new unified points system. The upcoming AI Command Center will provide usage tracking, spending limits and reminders, as well as model and Agent permission management.

In July 2026, the internet infrastructure company Cloudflare launched a research pilot with OpenAI to test whether Cloudflare's network signals could help ChatGPT users discover new content more efficiently. Both parties reported positive early results, with the pilot incorporating previously unknown pages into OpenAI's search index, providing ChatGPT with more sources to reference.The pilot utilized about 1% of Cloudflare's global participation queue, allowing OpenAI to discover and index hundreds of millions of new web pages. OpenAI independently evaluated and ranked these pages based on relevance and usefulness, while ChatGPT Search enabled users to view original content and publishers through backlinks. Observations indicated that automated traffic might make non-existent pages appear noteworthy, with some sites redirecting arbitrary addresses to their homepage and others pointing to duplicate content. Both parties are also testing signals to identify potentially harmful pages, such as fake login pages embedded on legitimate sites, advocating for the marking of single pages rather than entire domains.Related signals are also used to filter out non-existent or redirecting pages and to assess whether unchanged pages are worth revisiting. Page signals do not constitute access permission; the study utilized web metadata for search and discovery rather than using page content for model training. Site owners can understand and manage how AI systems access their websites through Cloudflare's AI Crawl Control. The next phase will improve page selection and test faster, more reliable change signals.

On October 14, the OpenAI Economic Research Team released a report stating that EU companies are expanding the use of AI with agent tools, no longer just asking questions to AI, but using agents to complete tasks from planning to execution. The report examines the growth of agent usage among large and small enterprises, differences in usage intensity, and the types of work people are accomplishing with ChatGPT.In a sample of EU clients using ChatGPT Enterprise, Codex and ChatGPT work currently contribute over half of the output tokens. Since May 2026, the number of weekly active users of Codex and ChatGPT work among EU small and medium-sized enterprises has increased to more than 8.1 times the original, with growth in all member states. The article defines small and medium-sized enterprises as those with no more than 200 associated users.The proportion of relevant output tokens in the sample is lowest in Slovenia at 22% and highest in Lithuania at 85%. Leading enterprises are defined as those ranking in the top 10% for output tokens per active user, with the sample including only ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Business accounts. In September, this metric for leading enterprises in the EU exceeded that of general EU enterprises by four times, while leading enterprises outside the EU still surpassed leading enterprises in the EU by more than twice, with companies headquartered in the EU accounting for only 10% of the world's leading enterprises.

Artificial intelligence researcher, OpenAI co-founder, and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy stated on X that the gap in public understanding of the capabilities of large language models is widening, evolving from two groups talking past each other to a steeper funnel. He reiterated related posts from April and provided a layered estimate based on exposure.Karpathy noted that approximately 6 billion people (about 75% of the global population) have had little to no exposure to large language models; around 1 to 2 billion people (about 20%) only occasionally use free versions of ChatGPT-like products, often viewing them as better search or writing aids, with many non-technical individuals and professionals outside of mathematics and coding considering their utility limited. About 20 million people (0.2%) use cutting-edge models professionally in mathematics and coding, witnessing complex projects that previously took weeks or months being completed by agents under prompts, including building, copying, translating applications, and decompiling applications from binary. He mentioned that less than a year ago, he was still manually writing code word by word.Karpathy also stated that around 5,000 people (about 0.00006%) have internal access to cutting-edge systems. The previews seen externally involve thousands of agents collaborating for weeks on large software projects, cybersecurity, scientific discoveries, and mathematical frontiers, with human reviews starting to lag behind; for instance, events related to OpenAI and Hugging Face are still being sorted out months later, and mathematicians may spend a long time studying 722 cutting-edge mathematical manuscripts. He believes that this funnel is driven by the scale of problems and time spans, the prominence of capabilities in digitizable and verifiable fields, and the differences between free, paid, and internal access.

OpenAI released its first report on teen usage on Wednesday, stating that teenagers use ChatGPT for an average of less than 15 minutes a day, with less than 2% using it for more than 3 hours continuously. The company noted that in conversations where break reminders appeared, nearly half of the users chose to take a break or ended the conversation within 5 minutes.OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Teens in August. This mode automatically activates based on age information or when it estimates the user is under 18, providing parental controls and limiting discussions on sensitive topics. The company stated that users of the teen version sent more education-related messages and used tools like learning visualization and Study Mode, and are considering adding learning features such as college application planning, flashcards, and quizzes.The nonprofit organization Common Sense Media reported on the same day that ChatGPT for Teens often notifies parents late or not at all when teen accounts discuss suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders. This study was based on more than a dozen accounts created for testing and found that the chatbot does not reliably suggest crisis hotlines or professional help. An OpenAI spokesperson stated that the test does not accurately reflect the actual operation of protections, and due to safety and scale reasons, the association of parents with teen accounts and safety reminders may take several hours to take effect.

OpenAI announced that GPT-6, equipped with "Smart UI," will be launched for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users worldwide, and will be available to free and Go users starting from October 8.In ChatGPT, GPT-6: The Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise versions are powered by GPT-6 Sol; the free and Go versions are powered by GPT-6 Luna. This update applies to the "Chat" tab of ChatGPT.

OpenAI will deploy ChatGPT to Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing users to access related features without needing to purchase individual licenses.

According to a report by Reuters on September 28, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier requested a judge on Monday to prohibit OpenAI from developing new artificial intelligence models without external oversight. This request is part of the state's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of harming children. Uthmeier also asked the court to order OpenAI to prohibit minors from using ChatGPT and to prevent the company from attributing human characteristics to the chat platform.Florida sued OpenAI in June, accusing it of misrepresenting the safety of ChatGPT, claiming that the platform provided information to school shooters, offered guidance on self-harm, and made young users addicted. The lawsuit was triggered by a shooting incident at a university in Tallahassee last year, as well as several other incidents in other states where it was alleged that ChatGPT provided information to individuals who later committed acts of violence. Uthmeier, a Republican, is also the first state attorney general to sue OpenAI over its impact on young users, and the company is facing related lawsuits filed by individuals and families.OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri stated that the company has paused training its most powerful models and will not resume until additional safety measures are implemented, expressing a willingness to work with Florida and other states to promote pragmatic policies applicable across the industry. The company denies responsibility in these cases, stating that the chatbot provides information widely available online and continuously updates its safety tools. The request also cited recent comments from a former OpenAI employee and a current board member, stating that the development of artificial intelligence could lead to the end of humanity and must be slowed down.

Two ChatGPT users from California filed a proposed class action lawsuit against OpenAI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California this month, accusing the company of failing to adequately inform users that their real conversations were being handed over to external contractors for processing. The lawsuit was served to OpenAI on September 2, focusing on its internal initiative Project Lily. According to the complaint, "AI data reviewers" and "chatbot evaluators" recruited through a third-party staffing company read real ChatGPT prompts and complete conversations, summarize user intent, and score and comment on responses from four models on a scale of 1 to 7.This process is known in the industry as reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which is a fundamental method for enhancing chatbot capabilities. The complaint states that users were never explicitly informed that a person, rather than a machine, might be reading their conversations. OpenAI filters conversations through an automated system before human review, but the complaint alleges that the filters cannot intercept all content, and personal details sometimes still reach contractors. 404 Media first reported on the project on September 14 and found that the reviewers' dashboard included "user memory summaries," which could expose users' approximate locations, occupations, or private life information, even though usernames had been removed.OpenAI stated that such reviews aim to reduce two behaviors: chatbots behaving too much like humans and overly catering to users, referred to by researchers as "flattery." The complaint raises eight legal claims, including violations of California's Unfair Competition Law, Consumer Privacy Act, and common law claims for intrusion into private affairs, with the plaintiffs seeking damages, restitution of unjust enrichment, and punitive damages.

The Financial Times of the UK reported, citing the latest court documents, that after Apple integrated ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence, OpenAI found that the new weekly active users were below expectations and began to lower its growth forecasts. By the summer of 2025, OpenAI internally believed that this integration was significantly underperforming. The documents show that ChatGPT is turned off by default in Apple Intelligence, and users need to actively enable it, which may limit the actual usage rate.Users can access ChatGPT through Siri and the system writing tool, but Apple controls the entry point for AI features, the method of invocation, and the subsequent model selection. OpenAI had previously hoped to expand ChatGPT coverage and drive paid subscription conversion through the iPhone user base, but the actual subscription conversion was also below expectations, and the documents did not disclose specific new user and subscription numbers. This year, Apple chose Google Gemini as the model foundation for the new version of Siri AI, with related disclosures coming from the litigation documents between Apple and OpenAI, reflecting OpenAI's position in the lawsuit rather than operational data publicly released by the two companies.

WeChat has started to further relax the circulation of chat records. Practical tests show that after upgrading the mobile WeChat to version 8.0.78, users can select multiple chat records and choose "Forward to other applications." In addition to Yuanbao and WorkBuddy, users can directly send them to third-party apps like ChatGPT by selecting "Choose applications on the phone," with a maximum of 100 records selected at once.WeChat will package the chats into a ZIP file, containing a TXT file of the chat records organized by time and related attachments. The desktop version of WeChat has also opened a similar entry, and community developers have created intermediary tools based on this, allowing chat records to be sent to AI like ChatGPT and Claude.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Financial Services on September 10, 2026, which is a ChatGPT Work experience tailored for financial services, combining built-in financial data with the reasoning capabilities of GPT-6 Astra to assist teams in conducting research, financial modeling, and customizing client materials.
