GPT-5 is supposed to be nicer now
Ammon News - OpenAI announced late Friday that it's updating its latest model to be 'warmer and friendlier.' The company recently launched the much-anticipated GPT-5 in a process that CEO Sam Altman admitted was 'a little more bumpy than we'd hoped for,' with some users complaining that they preferred the previous model, GPT-4o. OpenAI is trying to address some of those complaints with this update, with changes that it says are 'subtle' but will make GPT-5 'more approachable now.' 'You'll notice small, genuine touches like 'Good question' or 'Great start,' not flattery,' the company wrote in a social media post. 'Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy compared to the previous GPT-5 personality.' At a dinner this week with journalists, OpenAI executives tried to focus on the company's plans beyond GPT-5, but as Max Zeff reports, the rocky launch was the elephant in the room. As far as model friendliness goes, VP Nick Turley said that the GPT-5 was 'just very to the point,' but that the new update would — as now announced — make it feel warmer. TechCrunch

Oil prices steady as Russia supply concerns ease after Trump-Putin meet
Ammon News - Oil prices were largely unchanged on Monday after a drop in early trade, as the United States exerted no further pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine war through measures to disrupt its oil exports following a meeting of the leaders of both nations. Brent crude futures dropped 6 cents, or 0.09%, to $65.79 a barrel by 0342 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $62.82 a barrel, up 2 cents, or 0.03%. U.S. President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders on Monday to strike a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. On Friday, Trump said he did not immediately need to consider retaliatory tariffs on countries such as China for buying Russian oil but might have to "in two or three weeks", cooling concerns about a disruption in Russian supply.
