SoftBank has reportedly completed its full $40 billion funding commitment to OpenAI, removing a major financing uncertainty and accelerating the infrastructure race behind Stargate. The move reinforces OpenAI’s compute advantage just as AI agents shift from demos to real workflows across enterprise and consumer products. For marketers and tech leaders, the signal is clear: platform winners will combine reliable inference capacity with distribution. It also raises the strategic stakes for Meta’s Manus acquisition.

Meta acquires Manus. Here’s the 2026 impact on AI agents: ChatGPT 5.2 vs Gemini, Workspace Studio in Gmail, Meta AI glasses use cases, plus China-risk for enterprise.

A deep, practical POV on Meta + Manus: why execution layers matter, how Gemini’s Gmail agents compete, and what China-risk means for enterprise adoption in 2026.

ChatGPT Images (powered by GPT Image 1.5) gives growth teams a faster, more controllable way to generate and edit visuals for performance marketing. In this guide, you’ll learn 10 unexpected, practical use cases; ranging from rapid Meta and Google Ads creative testing, product image variants, and brand-safe background swaps, to AI Search/AEO/GEO-friendly visuals and content packaging that helps your work surface in AI answers. We also cover what GPT Image 1.5 is, where it fits in a modern paid media workflow, and the guardrails you need for quality, compliance, and conversion-rate impact.

GDPval is OpenAI’s “real-work” evaluation: instead of exam questions, it measures whether AI can produce economically valuable deliverables professionals would actually ship. It spans 44 knowledge-work occupations across nine U.S. GDP-leading sectors, selected using BLS wage data and O*NET task analysis with a 60% digital-work threshold. The benchmark includes 1,320 expert-designed tasks (plus a 220-task open gold subset) requiring artifacts like legal briefs, nursing care plans, financial spreadsheets, sales decks, and multimedia. Outputs are graded with blind, head-to-head expert preference judgments, complemented by an experimental automated grader. OpenAI notes models can be faster and cheaper on inference, but human oversight and integration matter. In this guide, you’ll get the full list of jobs, the methodology, what the early results imply for AI productivity and AI search, and what comes next: more roles, more multimodal context, and more iterative, ambiguity-heavy workflows.

GPT-5.2 is here: what’s new, key benchmarks (GDPval, SWE-bench, GPQA, ARC-AGI-2), and how it compares with Gemini 3 and Claude. ChatGPT GPT-5.2 analysed: new Instant/Thinking/Pro tiers, benchmark results, Gemini 3 vs Claude comparisons, and why OpenAI’s “code red” ends by January.

Who wins the next phase of AI search: OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini? In this analysis, Modi Elnadi breaks down what’s happening as GPT-5.2 is reportedly pulled forward under an internal “code red” to answer Gemini 3’s leap in reasoning benchmarks like Humanity’s Last Exam and ARC-AGI-2. The article explains what changed in late 2025, where the battle is playing out (AI Mode in Search, ChatGPT, and enterprise workflows), and why compute economics matter as TPUs challenge GPUs and OpenAI eyes a potential 2026 IPO. It frames the “power shift” through distribution, speed, and cost: Google can push Gemini into Search at scale, while OpenAI must prove ChatGPT feels snappier and reliable for agentic work. You’ll learn how marketers should respond now: multi-source models, measure cost-per-outcome, and shift from keyword SEO/PPC thinking to AEO with schema, FAQs, and answer-first content.
