OpenAI has quietly expanded Codex’s capabilities by adding a plugins system — a move that makes the coding assistant feel less like a standalone tool and more like a configurable platform. On the surface, these plugins are collections that can include workflow “skills,” integrations with external applications, and connections to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers.

OpenAI Pulls the Plug on Sora: Why the Video Platform Failed and What Comes Next
OpenAI’s Sora arrived with a burst of excitement: a consumer-facing video generator that turned text prompts into short, striking clips.

GPT-5.4 Lands: A Reasoning Powerhouse That Writes Code, Uses Your Computer, and Thinks Ahead
OpenAI’s March 2026 release, GPT-5.4, reads like a careful step toward AI that can carry an entire project from first idea to final delivery. It isn’t just a faster chatbot or a slightly smarter code generator — it’s a consolidated system that bundles advanced reasoning, strong coding skills, and native computer-use capabilities into a single model. The result is a
OpenAI’s Next Frontier: Smart Speakers, Glasses, and the Hardware Bet on Everyday AI
The idea that artificial intelligence lives only in the cloud or behind a chat window is changing. OpenAI—best known for conversational models that scale across apps and businesses—is reportedly building a family of physical devices, starting with a smart speaker and potentially expanding into smart glasses and even a smart lamp. This move represents a pivotal moment in how AI
