OpenAI Plans Memory Upgrade in GPT-6

While users are still grumbling about GPT-5 feeling like that distant relative who's technically smarter but way less fun at parties, Sam Altman is already teasing GPT-6. The upcoming model promises enhanced memory and personalization, essentially letting AI remember your preferences, routines, and quirks—because apparently forgetting your embarrassing requests wasn't a feature but a bug.

OpenAI even consulted psychologists on the design, though they've admitted the current memory features lack encryption. Nothing says "trust me with your deepest thoughts" quite like "we might accidentally share them."

The company is positioning this as part of a shift toward custom AI agents that can be as "woke" or "conservative" as you want—finally, an AI that can match your exact level of insufferability on Twitter.

Robot Brains Get $405M Cash Injection

FieldAI has quietly amassed a whopping $405 million in funding to build what amounts to universal robot brains. Their "foundational embodied AI models" aim to give everything from humanoid robots to self-driving cars the ability to adapt to new environments without crashing into walls (or people).

Unlike your chatty ChatGPT cousin, these AI models are grounded in physics, making robots aware of their limitations. As CEO Ali Agha puts it, they know "how much they know" – a refreshing bit of self-awareness that most humans could use.

Backed by Bezos Expeditions and other deep-pocketed investors, FieldAI is essentially building a single brain that works across different robot bodies. Think of it as evolution without waiting millions of years.

Music

Your Dream Band, AI-Generated

Moises, Apple's 2024 iPad App of the Year, just unveiled "AI Studio" - a feature that turns your lonely guitar riff into a full band experience. Unlike other AI music tools trained on complete songs, Moises claims to use only high-quality individual instrument recordings for more authentic accompaniment.

Strumming alone in your bedroom? This app listens to your pitiful solo attempts and generates matching basslines and drum tracks that actually follow your tempo and style - essentially creating AI bandmates who never complain about your musical direction or steal the last pizza slice.

Fresh off securing $40M in funding, Moises offers this feature across all plans with varying monthly "generative credits." Perfect for musicians who want collaboration without the human drama.

Google's Virtual Concierge Learns New Tricks

Google's AI Mode is breaking out of its geographical constraints, expanding to 180 new countries with a suite of features that'll make your personal assistant look like a potato with arms. Previously limited to US, UK, and India users, the search giant's experimental feature is now going global (in English only, for now).

The real sizzle? New "agentic capabilities" that let you book restaurant reservations based on multiple preferences. But don't get too excited—these fancy features are locked behind the Ultra subscription paywall ($249.99/month). That's right, Google wants you to pay more than your phone bill to have AI book your dinner.

AI Mode is also getting personal, using your past searches to make tailored recommendations. Because nothing says "helpful" like an algorithm remembering that time you desperately searched "can you die from eating 3-day-old sushi?"
