ChatGPT gets new data powers and personal agents are gaining traction

Welcome back, Superhuman. It’s becoming clear to us that personal agents are the next big thing. Meta’s Muse has rocketed to second place on the app charts. Grok Bot is the most talked-about AI product in recent weeks. And Instinct — the buzzy agent app that’s invite only — is reportedly raising capital at a $10 billion valuation (Snap, the company behind Snapchat, is valued at $9 billion).

Today: ChatGPT gets data superpowers, learn how to automate your Monday morning work brief with ChatGPT Work, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. Tavus launches its most realistic human model yet: Phoenix 4.5 renders ultra-lifelike AI humans that use nonverbal communication cues — like micro-movements across the full upper body and subtle expression shifts — to make it clear the AI is actively listening. Tavus claims it’s the fastest human-rendering model available, generating video at 134ms. See it in action.

2. OpenAI makes it easier to get insights out of your data: ChatGPT Work now has a data plugin that lets you pull company data sources into a chat window and ask questions to learn what’s changed. The lab released example prompts to help you get started, and CTO of Applications Vijaye Raji shared how OpenAI uses this plugin internally. OpenAI also unveiled ChatGPT for Financial Services, a tailored platform for ChatGPT Work that offers built-in premium data and custom templates.

3. Anthropic shares the top ways people abuse its models: The lab’s latest Threat Intelligence report covers all the ways people have tried to misuse Claude — from surveillance operations to weapons development. The lab identified two high-level trends: AI’s role in cyberattacks is growing more autonomous, and sophisticated attacks no longer require sophisticated attackers. Read the full report.

Teams often pick an API by checking a benchmark table and calling it done—a shortcut that could miss what really matters in production. This guide from You. com explains why raw latency is a misleading signal and what to measure instead.

🌎 The resignation post heard ‘round the world. Jacob Coxon — a researcher who’s worked for both Anthropic and OpenAI — said both labs are “gambling with our lives” in a resignation post that ignited the internet, ending the week with over 150M views. Evan Hubinger, Anthropic’s alignment science lead, agreed there’s a greater than 10% chance AI could “kill all humans” within the next decade. However, Jensen Huang is skeptical.

👀 Mathematicians question AI’s math breakthrough. OpenAI claimed that an internal model “solved” one of the hardest problems in mathematics this week. Two academics — NYU's Tristan Buckmaster and Anthropic's Levent Alpöge — say the breakthrough occurred after they uploaded related work into Codex. Read the ongoing debate.

🔎 Spotting AI: A Redditor asked ChatGPT to generate the most realistic-looking image possible. It did an impressive job, but the comments section found one major tell that the image is AI-generated. Can you spot it? Scroll down for the answer.

💻 Using the Computer: Engineer Justin Schroeder may have unlocked a new way to work with AI — by letting the agent look at its own reflection through your computer camera.

📻 Vibing Hardware: Vibecoding is evolving. One hobbyist says Astra helped them create a full hardware prototype, including creating the concept image, ordering parts, and providing instructions to assemble it.

😅 Taking Roles: This week marked a major milestone for one electronics engineer. It was the week AI was able to handle 100% of their job. It’s a feeling we all may experience soon.

🤔 Taking over the World: A former Meta researcher said AI is already advanced enough to cripple a nation if the lab wanted to, even laying out how that would work.

What worked for video last year isn’t working this year, at least not the same way.

Sample prompt: “Every Monday at [add time], create my weekly work brief. Review relevant activity from the previous week in [Gmail/Slack/Teams]. Summarize important decisions, unfinished tasks, requests that need a response, blockers, and anything I should follow up on. Organize the brief into: Top Priorities, Follow-Ups, Decisions, Blockers, and Recommended Next Actions. Schedule the task for every Monday at [your preferred time].”
