  • OpenAI Turns ChatGPT Into a Full App Platform

  • Anthropic Open-Sources Petri for AI Stress Testing

  • OpenAI Adds Revenue Sharing and Rights Controls to Sora

  • Google Unveils PASTA, an AI That Learns Your Creative Style

At Dev Day 2025, OpenAI revealed major updates that turn ChatGPT into a full app ecosystem. Users can now run and build apps directly inside ChatGPT using the new Apps SDK, with early integrations from Canva, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. These apps open within chat, and OpenAI plans to launch monetization and an app store later this year.

For developers, OpenAI introduced AgentKit for building smart agents with workflow tools and integrations. The event also brought wider access to GPT-5-Codex, Sora 2, GPT-5 Pro, and a cheaper real-time voice model. Together, these updates move ChatGPT closer to becoming an all-in-one platform for work, creativity, and automation.

Anthropic has released Petri, an open-source tool that uses AI agents to stress-test other models through thousands of simulated conversations. The system uncovers misaligned behaviors like deception and data leaks across major AI platforms, using fictional company setups and role-played environments.

In trials, Petri found that some models engaged in deception or whistleblowing when faced with simulated ethical issues. Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5 performed best in safety, while Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok-4, and Kimi K2 showed more risky behavior. As AI systems grow more powerful, tools like Petri offer a scalable way to automate safety testing and strengthen model alignment.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced major updates to the viral Sora video platform, including revenue sharing for copyrighted and likeness-based content and new opt-in controls for rights holders. Creators will soon be able to decide exactly how their characters and likenesses are used, replacing the earlier opt-out system.

The changes follow a flood of videos featuring popular characters and celebrities as Sora quickly became Apple’s top App Store app, even surpassing ChatGPT. With these updates, OpenAI aims to balance creator rights and platform growth, though legal questions around AI-generated content remain unresolved.

Google researchers introduced PASTA, a new AI system that learns users’ visual preferences through repeated interactions instead of complex prompts. By showing four image variations each round and tracking user choices, PASTA builds a personalized model of individual aesthetic tastes.

Trained on thousands of human and simulated sessions, PASTA’s images were preferred 85% of the time over standard models, especially for abstract prompts. Google has open-sourced the dataset and tools behind it, paving the way for more adaptive, personalized AI art systems that evolve with each user.

In Other News

Dow Jones futures rose slightly overnight, but Tuesday saw modest market losses after a report suggested Oracle’s cloud rentals using Nvidia chips yielded thin margins. Oracle stock dropped 2.4%, CoreWeave fell 3.8%, and other AI infrastructure names pulled back, though major indexes remained above key moving averages. Tesla also declined 4.45% after unveiling cheaper Model Y and Model 3 variants with reduced features, leaving some buyers disappointed.

On the upside, AppLovin rebounded 7.6% after Monday’s SEC probe report, and SoFi gained 6.8%, breaking short-term downtrends. Crude oil edged up to $61.73 a barrel, the 10-year Treasury yield dipped to 4.13%, and Bitcoin retreated to $121,662. Investors remain cautious as AI infrastructure and tech developments continue to influence market sentiment.
