OpenAI has launched GPT-Live, a full-duplex voice model capable of simultaneous listening and speaking. For complex tasks requiring web search or deep reasoning, GPT-Live hands off the workload to GPT-5.5 in the background while maintaining active conversation. It is rolling out globally to ChatGPT users, with early API access opening for developers.
Claude Cowork is now available across web and mobile, allowing users to run scheduled tasks even when their computer is off. The update is rolling out to Max subscribers. Additionally, Anthropic has extended access to Fable 5 on paid plans through July 12.
Anthropic has extended access to Fable 5 via Claude subscriptions until July 12, allowing users to use up to 50% of their weekly limits before transitioning to prepaid usage credits.
Anthropic has discovered "J-space," an emergent internal scratchpad inside Claude where the model performs silent reasoning before responding. This discovery allows researchers to audit a model's silent planning, such as detecting words like "fake" and "fraud" in a sabotage-trained model before any suspicious output is generated. Anthropic has open-sourced the "J-lens" tool for auditing, and Neuronpedia has released an interactive demo.
Alibaba is reportedly banning its staff from using Anthropic's Claude Code starting July 10, labeling it as high-risk software. This follows a viral Reddit post claiming the tool contained hidden code targeting Chinese users, which Anthropic explained was part of an anti-abuse experiment to prevent model distillation and reselling.
