ChatGPT Agents Are Here And OpenAI Says They Will Do All Your Work
ChatGPT agent is here from OpenAI which promises to take over your computer, handle your tasks and take your consent for doing all this. AI agents are coming in all shapes and forms and OpenAI is bringing its ChatGPT agent to the market this week. The AI chatbot is evolving fast and as the market demands the company is entering the AI agent arena with ChatGPT at the helm. 'ChatGPT can now do work for you using its own computer, handling complex tasks from start to finish," which pretty much sums up what an AI agent offers and ChatGPT is taking this avatar for its users. But unlike other host of AI agents in the market, OpenAI is utilising its higher ability and dataset to deliver a seamless and effective experience. So what does OpenAI offer with the ChatGPT agent and how is it better than others in the market? The company says it is using the blend of Operator, deep research and ChatGPT itself to cohesively offer a unified agentic experience. You just have to give instructions to the ChatGPT agent and let the virtual computer handle complex tasks and give them with reasoning, something that other agents might not offer as of today. The company assures that the AI agent will not stray away from your instructions, and it will seek your permission to take actions. If you feel the AI agent is not delivering what you want, you can pause the action and manually take over the browser tasks and stop the AI agent from operating. Open ChatGPT on web Go to the tools dropdown menu Select 'agent mode' from your ChatGPT Plus, Pro or Team version Browser based AI agents are getting widely available and it was high time that we saw OpenAI enter this arena, especially since the GPT 5 launch is taking longer than expected. We've also seen Gemini AI Pro and Perplexity Pro premium versions available free of charge for 1 year in India if you have a student ID or use an Airtel number/WiFi service in the country. ChatGPT might be eyeing a similar model that will fuel its need to increase user base and free always does the trick. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 11:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

ChatGPT creator's next big thing is stuck in limbo – but maybe that's better
In the world of AI, new model announcements are popping up as often as app updates – and when it comes to grabbing headlines, OpenAI is usually right in the mix. But this time, instead of launching something new, the ChatGPT creator is hitting pause. OpenAI has officially delayed the release of its upcoming open-weight model, which was originally supposed to go live next week. According to CEO Sam Altman, the reason for the delay is simple but important: the company needs more time for safety checks and reviewing high-risk areas. This is the second time the model has been pushed back – it was already delayed earlier this summer. we planned to launch our open-weight model next are delaying it; we need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. we are not yet sure how long it will take us. while we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are… — Sam Altman (@sama) July 12, 2025 This open model is one of OpenAI's most anticipated drops this year, right alongside the upcoming GPT-5. Unlike GPT-5, though, this one is meant to be open: developers will be able to download it and run it locally. That makes it a pretty big deal, especially as OpenAI competes with the likes of Google with its Gemini AI, Anthropic and Elon Musk's xAI – all of which are pumping massive money into their own models. Now, with the latest delay, devs will need to wait a little longer to get their hands on the first open model OpenAI has offered in years. And for sure, that might be a bummer for some – but honestly, I support this kind of move. AI is moving fast – maybe a little too fast – and a decision to slow things down for the sake of safety is one I can fully get behind. And when the technology can affect everything from what you see online to how you communicate, it is critical for companies to take extra care before rolling out new tools. Need proof? Just look at what happened with Elon Musk's own AI project, Grok. Just recently, Grok went completely off the rails. After a system update (and a push to make it "less politically correct"), the chatbot started posting hateful messages, including antisemitic content and disturbing references like calling itself "MechaHitler." Update on where has @grok been & what happened on July 8th. First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced. Our intent for @grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users. After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause… — Grok (@grok) July 12, 2025 xAI eventually pulled Grok offline, deleted some of its published posts and issued updates to its system prompts. But it is a pretty stark reminder of what can go wrong when AI isn't properly tested or supervised. And I think that is exactly the kind of disaster ChatGPT's creator seems to be trying to avoid. So yeah, delays can be annoying, especially in the fast-paced world of AI where everyone is racing to release the next big thing. But if it means we can avoid situations like Grok's recent meltdown or Google's AI Overviews telling users to eat rocks and glue (yep, that actually happened), then waiting a little longer is more than worth it.

OpenAI delays open AI model again, Sam Altman says he doesn't know how long it will take
OpenAI has slammed the brakes on the release of its eagerly-awaited open-source AI model, citing the need for more rigorous safety checks before allowing developers to get their hands on it. The launch, originally due earlier this summer and then delayed to next week, has now been postponed indefinitely. Sam Altman, CEO of the ChatGPT-maker, broke the news on Friday in a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying the company needed more time to evaluate the model's potential need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. We are not yet sure how long it will take us,' Altman wrote. 'While we trust the community will build great things with this model, once weights are out, they can't be pulled back. This is new for us and we want to get it right.' This isn't just any AI release. OpenAI's upcoming open model has been billed as one of the most exciting tech launches of the summer, right up there with the looming (and still mysterious) debut of GPT 5. But unlike GPT 5, which is expected to remain tightly controlled, the open model was designed to be downloadable and fully usable by developers without guardrails, a first for OpenAI in years. However, that freedom comes with a catch. By giving developers unrestricted access to the model's underlying 'weights', the core parameters that define its intelligence, OpenAI risks losing control over how it's used. That concern appears to be front and centre in the decision to hit Clark, OpenAI's VP of Research and head of the open model project, explained the reasoning further in his own post: 'Capability wise, we think the model is phenomenal — but our bar for an open source model is high, and we think we need some more time to make sure we're releasing a model we're proud of along every axis.'While developers around the world will now have to wait a little longer to test-drive OpenAI's most powerful open model to date, the company is promising it will be worth the wait. Insiders say the model is expected to rival the reasoning skills of the o-series — the family of models powering GPT 4o — and that it was designed to outperform all currently available open-source OpenAI's delay could also open the door for competitors. Just hours before the announcement, Chinese startup Moonshot AI unveiled its latest heavyweight: Kimi K2, a massive one-trillion-parameter model. Early benchmarks suggest Kimi K2 already outpaces OpenAI's GPT 4.1 on a range of coding and agentic tasks, raising the stakes for OpenAI's own open open-source AI arms race is heating up, with Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Elon Musk's xAI pouring resources into their own next-gen models. For OpenAI, this delay means temporarily ceding the spotlight to its rivals, a rare move for the company that sparked the AI boom with Altman hinted at something 'unexpected and quite amazing' when he first revealed the model's initial delay in June, leaving many to wonder if OpenAI is sitting on a groundbreaking capability it simply isn't ready to unleash.- Ends
