It looks like Microsoft is getting ready for GPT-5.
I reported yesterday that OpenAI is preparing to release GPT-5 in early August, and now references to a new GPT-5-powered 'Smart Mode' have reportedly appeared in Copilot. Alexey Shavanov discovered code changes in Copilot that point toward a new smart option that uses GPT-5 to 'think quickly or deeply.' I've asked Microsoft to comment on this alleged GPT-5 appearance.

Elon Musk says X plans to introduce ads in Grok's responses
X owner Elon Musk told advertisers in a live discussion on Wednesday that the platform plans to introduce ads in Grok's responses, as reported by the Financial Times. The move would help power X's struggling ads business following the departure of former CEO Linda Yaccarino. 'Our focus thus far has just been on making Grok the smartest, most accurate AI in the world and I think we've largely succeeded in that,' Musk said during the broadcast. 'So we'll turn our attention to how do we pay for those expensive GPUs.' Musk told advertisers that X would allow marketers to pay to appear in suggestions from the AI chatbot. 'If a user's trying to solve a problem [by asking Grok], then advertising the specific solution would be ideal at that point,' he said. The billionaire entrepreneur also plans to use technology from xAI, his AI startup, to improve the targeting of ads on the social network. xAI acquired X earlier this year for $45 billion.

Trump's Truth Social launches AI search powered by Perplexity
Truth Social, President Trump's social media platform, is beta testing an AI search feature powered by Perplexity . Truth Search AI is launching first on the web version of Truth Social, with plans to begin a public beta for the feature on iOS and Android in the near future. "We're excited to partner with Truth Social to bring powerful AI to an audience with important questions," said Dmitry Shevelenko, chief business officer at Perplexity. The controversial AI company has found itself embroiled time and again in accusations of copyright infringement , plagiarism and stealth crawling websites for content and this latest partnership will likely only continue to fuel the turmoil around the company. The partnership is the latest example of big tech finding opportunities to cozy up to the president. Just this week OpenAI announced that it would be offering its ChatGPT Enterprise subscription to more than 2 million federal workers at practically zero cost. Choosing Perplexity as the engine for Truth Search AI also puts Trump Media in business with Jeff Bezos, one of Perplexity's largest backers . This week Apple CEO Tim Cook presented Trump with an engraved glass plaque set in a 24-karat gold base, to commemorate domestic investments by the company in an effort to avoid the president's ire at the company's foreign manufacturing of iPhones. With the addition of Truth Search AI, Truth Social gains an AI layer to its platform without the expense of building one, presumably in efforts to keep up with the likes of Grok on X . Perplexity, for its part, gains exposure to a new base of users to further train on.
