NEWS UPDATES
OpenAI Introduces GPT-5
OpenAI has formally announced GPT-5, positioning it as a step-change in long-context reasoning and multimodal output. Early technical notes highlight better code reliability and built-in citations for sourced facts.
Rollout to Enterprise and Team tiers begins this quarter, with capacity gated by pre-paid token blocks. Budget and compliance reviews need to happen now if you want first-wave access before quotas are locked.
Grok Releases Free Video Generator
Grok, xAI’s consumer model, has opened a no-cost video-generation tool that turns text prompts into short clips. The service outputs 15-second MP4s suitable for social media and will remain free through its public-beta window. xAI aims to drive sign-ups before introducing tiered plans later this year.
Marketing teams can A/B test video ads without paid licences—low-risk experimentation before budgets harden for 2026.
Microsoft Upgrades Copilot to GPT-5
Microsoft confirmed its Copilot suite will adopt GPT-5 as the default model across Word, Excel and Teams. The switch promises sharper meeting summaries, more accurate data visualisations, and faster code suggestions in GitHub. Redmond says the update will arrive “in the coming weeks” for paid M365 plans at no extra cost.
Richer AI features will land on employee desktops automatically—plan training sessions so staff use new capabilities, not sidestep them.
