OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is actively exploring a range of new AI developments and potential releases. Among the anticipated updates are GPT-4.5, GPT-5, enhancements to the GPT-4.5 family similar to Claude's approach, and the introduction of a search engine and various agents on an agent platform. These updates include improvements in reasoning and explainability. Additionally, OpenAI is considering an 'ethical & responsible' approach to adult content and has developed a new privacy tool for ChatGPT that allows creators to hide their work from the AI. In a strategic move to broaden its reach, OpenAI has also been pitching partnership opportunities to news publishers through its Preferred Publishers Program, which promises financial incentives, priority placement, and enhanced brand visibility.
