1/ Claude Opus 4.6 Signals a New Era of Work AI

Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.6, its smartest model yet, with better coding, stronger reasoning, and the ability to handle huge projects for longer without losing focus. The biggest flex is its new 1M-token context window, meaning it can remember and work through massive amounts of info. It’s topping major benchmarks and even beating rivals like OpenAI on real-world work tasks. Basically, it’s built to act more like a reliable digital coworker than just a chatbot.

2/ Super Bowl Ads, Now Running on Artificial Intelligence

AI basically took over Super Bowl LX, with companies like OpenAI, Google, Amazon, Meta, and even startups all fighting for attention through big flashy ads. Anthropic stirred drama with its anti-AI-ads campaign, while Svedka dropped what might be the first mostly AI-made Super Bowl commercial. Everyone was pushing their assistants, glasses, or tools, trying to become the AI people actually trust. It wasn’t just about selling AI anymore — AI was also helping make the ads themselves, showing how deep it’s already woven into everyday life.

3/ OpenAI’s Codex Signals a New Era of Autonomous Coding

OpenAI just dropped GPT-5.3-Codex, a powerful new coding model that’s faster, smarter, and even helped build and test itself behind the scenes. It’s already topping major benchmarks and crushing older versions, especially in handling real-world coding and desktop tasks. The wild part is how these models are now helping design their own upgrades, with rivals like Anthropic doing the same. The AI race has clearly moved past marketing drama and into full-on competition over who can build the smartest, most self-improving systems.

4/ IG’s Filter Culture Is Over, Thanks to AI and Gen Z

Adam Mosseri says AI has killed Instagram’s polished aesthetic, with younger users ditching curated grids for candid, unfiltered photos in DMs. He’s pushing for camera-signed verification to prove what’s real and wants Instagram to label AI content while giving creators tools to compete. Mosseri predicts a shift from trusting images to trusting the people posting them. The move is ironic for the app that popularized “filter culture,” but it reflects how AI and changing habits are rewriting social media. Instagram is now racing to keep up with the authenticity trend.

5/ OpenAI Just Shot Its Shot at Google Chrome

OpenAI says it’d totally be down to buy Google Chrome—if the courts ever force Google to sell it. The comment came during a major antitrust trial where the DOJ is trying to break up Google’s dominance in online search. Google’s not having it, insisting Chrome isn’t up for grabs and calling the lawsuit bogus. OpenAI previously tried partnering with Google (no luck), and now it’s riding with Microsoft and Bing. Meanwhile, Google’s flexing Gemini, and OpenAI might even be cooking up its own social network. The AI wars just keep getting juicier.
