OpenAI is launching a new Deployment Company, acquiring Tomoro, and partnering with investment firms to accelerate enterprise AI integration. This move aims to address the growing demand and complexity of AI implementation for businesses, positioning OpenAI to capture a larger share of the competitive enterprise AI market. The company’s revenue from enterprise clients is already significant and projected to grow.

OpenAI is providing the EU with access to its new cyber defense AI, GPT-5.5-Cyber, fostering transparency and collaboration. This contrasts with competitor Anthropic, which has not yet shared its cyber AI, Mythos, with the bloc. The EU welcomes OpenAI’s move, aiming to closely monitor the model’s deployment and address security concerns. OpenAI’s “EU Cyber Action Plan” emphasizes broad access to defensive tools for collective security.

The race for AI agents is intensifying as Big Tech companies like Meta and Google invest heavily in developing autonomous assistants. Fueled by the success of tools like OpenClaw and strategic acquisitions, these agents promise to transform AI from an information provider to a task performer, unlocking new revenue streams through commerce, advertising, and enhanced user subscriptions. While security and governance risks are present, the strategic importance and demand for AI agents are undeniable, positioning them as a central theme in future platform development.

OpenAI has launched a limited preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a specialized AI model for cybersecurity teams. This version offers enhanced flexibility and permissiveness for tasks like vulnerability identification and malware analysis, removing some safeguards present in the general GPT-5.5 model. This move mirrors competitor Anthropic’s strategy with its Claude Mythos Preview, highlighting the growing importance of AI in national security and drawing attention from U.S. policymakers. Both companies are adopting a controlled release approach for these advanced models.

Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI board member and connected to Elon Musk, testified in Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Zilis detailed early discussions about OpenAI’s corporate structure in 2017-2018, including Musk’s proposal to integrate OpenAI into Tesla. Musk alleges OpenAI reneged on its founding non-profit principles. Zilis also revealed her children with Musk and her eventual resignation from OpenAI.

OpenAI President Greg Brockman testified in the Musk-Altman trial, largely refuting Elon Musk’s claims about OpenAI’s early days and corporate structure.

He also testified about Musk’s volatile reactions during negotiations and past requests for employees’ unpaid work on Tesla projects. The trial continues.

James Dyett, a senior sales leader at OpenAI, is leaving the company to join Thrive Capital as an Operator in Residence. Dyett, who played a key role in enterprise and API sales, cited a desire to return to early-stage company building. His departure follows a series of high-profile exits from OpenAI, reflecting the rapid growth and evolving landscape of the AI industry.

The SEC settled its lawsuit against Elon Musk for $1.5 million over alleged securities law violations related to his Twitter acquisition. Musk’s trust will pay a civil penalty for a late disclosure of his stake, which the SEC claimed allowed him to buy shares at low prices. This resolution comes after a separate jury found Musk liable for misleading Twitter investors. Musk is also suing OpenAI, alleging a breach of its nonprofit mission for profit.

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI intensifies with revelations of a dramatic text exchange. Musk allegedly threatened OpenAI leaders if they refused a settlement, calling their actions a “theft” of a charity. The trial focuses on Musk’s claim that OpenAI abandoned its non-profit mission for commercial gain, while OpenAI argues Musk’s suit is motivated by competitive bias. This high-stakes battle highlights the cutthroat nature of the AI industry.

Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman and OpenAI, alleging they betrayed the company’s non-profit founding principles for commercial gain. Musk testified for three days, claiming his initial investment was diverted and that OpenAI’s current structure, valued at billions, prioritizes profit over its original mission.
