OpenAI has launched GPT-5.6 across ChatGPT, Codex, and its API, introducing GPT-5.6 Sol with a four-agent reasoning system and two lower-cost models as the rollout begins worldwide. According to OpenAI, the GPT-5.6 family introduces a new three-tier lineup consisting of…
OpenAI moved GPT-5.6 to general availability on July 9, 2026, shipping three tiers instead of one model. Sol is $5/$30 per 1M tokens, Terra is $2.50/$15, and Luna is $1/$6. Sol sets the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index at 80, 2.8 points above Claude Fable 5, and reaches 62.6% on OSWorld 2.0 using 85% fewer output tokens than Opus 4.8. The substantive developer change is Programmatic Tool Calling, which runs model-written JavaScript in an isolated V8 runtime to orchestrate tools without returning every intermediate result to the model. Clio reports a 38% cut in prompt tokens, PlayCo 63.5% fewer total tokens. The gaps are real too: Fable 5 still leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, GDPval-AA v2, and Toolathlon, and Claude Mythos 5 leads SWE-Bench Pro by roughly 15 points.

The post OpenAI Vs Anthropic IPO: How They Compare And What We Know appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Golden phone with IPO stocks purchase app on the screen on wooden table in office. OpenAI and Anthropic both filed initial public offering prospectuses in June. Getty OpenAI and Anthropic are both planning to go public. However, as the second half of 2026 begins, chances are increasing that both companies could delay their IPOs beyond the original fourth quarter 2026 target. In my view, the two companies are competing with each other to be the first one to have a successful IPO; yet both companies seem to be delaying and trying new tactics to strengthen their IPO. For example, OpenAI is reportedly offering to sell 5% of the company to the U.S. government. Meanwhile, the U.S. forced Anthropic to withdraw its latest Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models to prevent foreign nationals—including Anthropic employees who were foreign nationals—from accessing its newest models, citing national
OpenAI is already shutting down ChatGPT Atlas, its browser that could do tasks for you on your behalf, less than a year after launching it. Atlas was announced in October, but as part of its wave of news about ChatGPT Work today, the company confirmed that it will be "sunsetting" Atlas and is targeting an August 9th date for deprecation.
In recent months, OpenAI has also shut down the video generation app Sora and paused plans for a ChatGPT "adult mode" as it works to reduce "side quests" and catch up with Anthropic on productivity features.

The post Meta opens Muse Spark 1.1 to US developers at launch as a coding API appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Meta released Muse Spark 1.1 on Thursday and made it open to US developers through a new Meta Model API, creating direct competition with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. The model is available immediately in Thinking mode inside the Meta AI app and on the Meta AI website. Developers who want to plug it into their own coding software can now do so through the Meta Model API, which launched the same day in public preview for US accounts. Meta is handing out $20 in free credits to every new account on the API. What has changed since April? Muse Spark was released in April as Meta’s return to the AI model race, with the company describing version 1.1 as a “step-change” over that release. The new update handles more advanced coding work, can spot and repair complex bugs, and runs agentic workflows across multiple apps, including multi-agent setups. Muse can also read images, v
