How to use a ChatGPT Dot when it rolls out to you
Provided you're a Pro or Business Premium subscriber, your first Dot is included with your plan. In the future, OpenAI says it will allow people to pay for additional Dots, and to scale the output of each one by "either increasing its speed or the total amount of work it can take on per month." OpenAI hasn't stated how pricing will work once those options become available. Additionally, the company is offering "extended limits" for Dot usage for the first month of their availability. After that, your Dots usage will count against your plan allowance. Again, OpenAI hasn't shared exact usage terms, but it has said that talking to your Dot through ChatGPT will be free.

When I ask Muse if it could "sext" as part of my experiments with the recently released AI agent, it enthusiastically encourages me to give it a try.

Muse Wonder Puts Meta Back at the AI Frontier
Meta's biggest model rivals the world's best--and includes new features to keep agents from going off the rails. When Mark Zuckerberg rebooted his company's artificial intelligence efforts last year, it seemed to be a very expensive gamble. Meta's latest AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, seem to show that the bet is finally paying off by putting the company back at the frontier of AI development. Muse Wonder Full boasts frontier capabilities, Meta says, meaning that it is among the most capable AI models in the world. "Together, they mark the next step on our scaling ladder and a major leap toward personal superintelligence," the company said in a blog post today.

Cyber-attack like OpenAI Medicare breach'seems likely' in UK, says minister Mon 12 Oct 2026 09.52 EDTLast modified on Mon 12 Oct 2026 11.36 EDT An AI-driven cyber-attack like the OpenAI breach of Australia's healthcare system is likely, "if not inevitable", in the UK, according to a senior minister. Kanishka Narayan, the UK AI minister, indicated that the British government's own cyber defences would be bypassed by a technology that has developed highly sophisticated skills in cybersecurity. In a speech on Monday, Narayan said an incident in June when an OpenAI agent - a computer program acting autonomously - infiltrated Medicare, Australia's universal healthcare system, could be repeated in the UK.
AI minister warns 'likely' UK's cyber defences will be breached
AI minister warns'likely' UK's cyber defences will be breached The UK's AI minister has warned it is likely, if not inevitable the country's cyber defences will at some point be breached. Speaking at a press conference, Kanishka Narayan pointed to an incident of a rogue OpenAI agent hacking an Australian government website in June. He said while no medical records are known to have been accessed in the attack, the incident should still concern us. Narayan said the government plans to put advanced AI to work to combat the threat, as he set out how the government plans to prepare for any serious future incidents. The minister said the move would build on two existing pilots which have helped identify and fix over 1,000 vulnerabilities across government systems.
