Day 2.1/ We have made Auto-review free for all users signed in through a ChatGPT account. You can enable it in settings > permissions > auto-review. Auto-review improves upon the default sandbox setting that requires you to approve everything, which is prone to decision fatigue unless you spend a lot of time configuring specific rules. It allows you to run long tasks while having a second agent review all actions taken by the primary agent. Its only goal is to prevent high-risk actions from being taken and to protect against unwanted actions that are not aligned with the original user intent. This Auto-review feature is now free and does not draw usage from your plan.

DAILY AI BRIEF 🗞 — Mon 5 GOOGLE 🔥: * Gemini app is reshuffling model access: free users drop to Flash-Lite only from Oct 9, AI Plus loses Pro, and AI Pro gains Deep Think. ALEPH ALPHA 🔥: * Kolibri-1 is out as open weights under Apache 2.0: a 78B MoE with 3.46B active parameters, built for German/English sovereign deployments. ANTHROPIC 🔥: * Claude now asks voice users to opt in to sharing voice data for model training, via a separate privacy toggle that is off by default. OPENAI 🔥: * GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast is coming soon, per Codex lead Tibo Sottiaux. * Safety lead David Robinson resigned, writing in The Atlantic that OpenAI's "culture is broken." MISTRAL 🔥: * Mistral is working on its own Voice Mode, which looks TTS-based for now. META 🔥: * Meta is building an "Agent Engine" for its Meta API Platform, codenamed Forge internally. * Used Grok to compose this brief, cherry-picking the news and doing some post-editing.

Meta and Microsoft are cutting employee use of Claude Earlier, Microsoft had projected at least $1B in internal Claude spending this year, then cut that figure by more than 33%. OpenAI's own data show the climb steepening late, with the median researcher consuming more than $600 worth of tokens per day i.e. around $1.8 mn per emplyee/per year. Those agents now log 3.1 agent-workdays for every human workday, using an eight-hour workday as the comparison. Microsoft is moving the other way, cutting most per-employee AI budgets in its 60K-person cloud and AI group from $100K to about $10K a month, roughly $333 a day. Meta's Claude Code users have likewise fallen from about 60K to about 30K, as staff shift to its in-house MetaCode and Muse Code tools.

Introducing flow-1, our new model trained with RL to find errors in agent traces. It matches GPT-6-sol in trace intelligence while being 23x cheaper. It also costs 25% less to run than GPT-6-luna. flow-1 finally makes it possible to monitor and understand every agent run, without sampling. 1/6

OpenAI's median researcher used $601 of coding-agent inference a day at API prices, up from under $1, in January 2026. Eoch AI's new report. > OpenAI researchers' coding-agent usage, valued at API list prices, is doubling roughly every month > By mid-August 2026, the median researcher used $601 a day and about $2M a year, roughly matching or exceeding what employing a researcher costs. > This pace probably can't last, since one more year would reach about $185M per median researcher, and list-price figures reveal nothing about what OpenAI actually spends.
