OpenAI prepares new ChatGPT Pro Lite tier priced at $100 monthly
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

OpenAI plans to offer a new subscription tier called ChatGPT Pro Lite. At $100 per month, the new plan could serve users who hit Plus rate limits regularly but do not need the unlimited access that Pro delivers. It could be a way to accommodate Codex usage as well. No release date has been confirmed yet, and the exact feature set remains unclear.

SWE-bench Verified Stopped Being a Frontier Coding Metric
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

SWE-bench Verified no longer reliably measures frontier coding progress because many tasks have flawed tests that rejected correct fixes and because benchmark contamination has made training exposure a significant factor in scores.

Daniel Litt argues that current limitations are real but likely temporary, not fundamental blockers. Litt now expects AI to autonomously resolve mildly interesting open conjectures as early as late 2026 and suggests AI's long-term impact on mathematics may exceed that of the computer. Even in a future where machines can generate vast bodies of correct math, he argues human mathematicians will still matter because the core motivation remains understanding, not just producing results.

AWS Launches Strands Labs to Give Developers a Sandbox for Autonomous AI
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

AWS Strands Labs is a new GitHub organization aimed at helping developers explore and experiment with cutting-edge AI techniques. It is currently available for three specific projects: robots, robots sim, and AI functions. AWS considers these areas the ones that most clearly reveal what changes when software becomes agentic. Strands Labs gives AWS and the broader community a dedicated space to experiment boldly.

The First Fully General Computer Action Model
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

FDM-1, a foundation model for computer use, efficiently trains on 11 million hours of video to autonomously handle tasks like CAD, driving, and fuzzing. Unlike traditional models that rely on expensive, limited annotation, FDM-1 uses a video encoder that compresses 2 hours of video into 1M tokens and predicts actions with inverse dynamics for scalable training. With enhanced context processing, FDM-1 showcases significant advancements in executing long-horizon tasks and exploring complex state trees in GUI environments.

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

SAGE introduces a self-aware sampling approach that enables large reasoning models to decide when to stop thinking, reducing unnecessary computation. Its companion method, SAGE-RL, distills these efficient reasoning patterns into standard pass@1 inference, reporting accuracy improvement with fewer tokens across six challenging math benchmarks.

Taalas HC1: Absurdly Fast, Per-User Inference at 17,000 tokens/second
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

Taalas has been quietly building a model-on-silicon chip that bakes an LLM directly into hardware to deliver absurdly fast, per-user inference. The HC1 chip runs Meta's Llama 3.1 8B at extreme speed by effectively hardwiring the model into silicon. It delivers inference at around 17,000 tokens per second per user. This is just the first version - the next iterations are already geared toward much better fidelity.

OpenAI lands multiyear deals with consulting giants in enterprise push
IMAP

February 24, 2026 09:45 AM

OpenAI is entering into multiyear partnerships with consulting firms Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, Capgemini, and McKinsey & Co. to help deploy its enterprise platform, Frontier. Frontier is an intelligence layer that stitches together disparate systems and data within an organization to make it easier for companies to manage, deploy, and build AI agents. OpenAI decided to partner with the consulting firms because they have existing relationships with enterprises and deep knowledge about how those businesses operate. They will help OpenAI roll out its technology at scale.
