The model wars are raging on

Welcome back, Superhuman. Talking to AI has always felt frustratingly slow. You talk. It listens. Vice versa. But OpenAI might’ve just changed this, with a new voice model that’s so human-like, even your grandma can chat with it (see the video below). Plus, SpaceXAI and Cursor revealed an “Opus-like” model.

Today: Monogram launches visual first AI, how to give your ​​AI agent a real email inbox, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. OpenAI rolls out GPT-Live, while GPT-5.6 gets cleared for public launch: GPT-Live is OpenAI’s new family of voice models that can listen and speak at the same time, which makes chatting with the AI feel much more conversational. It’s rolling out in ChatGPT now. Separately, the GPT-5.6 family of models is rolling out publicly after the US Commerce Department ended a weeks-long restriction. Listen to the new ChatGPT Voice.

2. Monogram raises $40M to launch AI with a visual-first interface: Monogram’s app swaps the traditional text-based chat window for an interactive user interface that generates on the fly to answer your questions or requests. It’s designed to make everyday use cases for AI — like finding movies to watch, brainstorming dinner recipes, or planning trips — feel more natural. See how it works or try the iOS app.

3. SpaceXAI and Cursor launch their first frontier model: SpaceXAI — which is officially the company’s new name after rebranding — launched Grok 4.5, the lab’s smartest model yet and its first release since acquiring the AI coding startup Cursor. Grok 4.5 is comparable to leading frontier models and excels at coding, agentic tasks, and office work. It also plugs in with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Watch the model in action.

Dataiku has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI Platforms for Data Science & Machine Learning — our fifth time receiving this recognition.

We believe our position in the Magic Quadrant reflects what enterprises now require from AI:
•Uniting business, data, and AI teams
•Orchestrating across the full AI stack
•Governing the end-to-end AI lifecycle

See why Gartner once again recognized Dataiku for “Completeness of Vision” and “Ability to Execute” here.

The data behind Anthropic’s update. Anthropic turned Claude Cowork into a cross-device platform on Tuesday, but the announcement buried an interesting takeaway: 50% of the work that Claude Cowork handles comes from just two categories. Anthropic calls it: the work around the work.

How people use Claude Cowork. Anthropic analyzed 1.2M anonymized sessions from May, and found that business operations — tasks like building trackers, pulling scattered updates into a report, or making onboarding checklists — made up 33% of all usage. The runner-up (16%) was content creation, or drafting decks, posts, and proposals. The pattern: these are tasks that need to get done at nearly every company, but rarely belong to any one person's job description.

The takeaway. The most common use cases for Claude Cowork involve tasks that track and communicate information across teams. If you find yourself doing or assigning work like this, then it may be worth handing that task to AI — freeing you and your team to tackle higher-level work.

The repositioning sends a message. Saying that Claude Cowork handles "work around the work" positions the tool as an agentic background worker, not a full end-to-end replacement. It’s a notable continuation of major AI labs walking back doom talk when it comes to AI’s role in the office.

Or do it all with one prompt: "Create a Nylas agent account called [email protected], add an app password, send a test email confirming it's live, then check the agent status."
