OpenAI rolled out GPT-5 as the default in ChatGPT with new modes and a "warmer" personality, plus expanded message limits for Plus/Team users and Enterprise/Edu access. Performance rankings show gpt-5-high leading, with smaller variants also ranked, though critiques note some underperformance versus Chinese models and sensitivity to sycophancy. OpenAI enhanced developer tools with a "Quick eval" feature, coding tips, and an improved Playground. Google released Imagen 4 generally available with faster generation and higher resolution, plus the ultra-small Gemma 3 270M model with a large vocabulary and ecosystem support. Podcasts featured OpenAI leaders discussing GPT-5 systems, routing, and efficiency.

OpenAI's GPT-5 achieved a speedrun of Pokemon Red 3x faster than o3. Perplexity raised $200M at a $20B valuation. AI2 secured $75M NSF grants and $77M from NVIDIA for AI infrastructure projects like Olmo and Molmo. Cohere raised $500M and hired Joelle Pineau from meta-ai-fair, boosting models like Command A. Google released the Gemma 3 270M on-device tiny LLM with INT4 QAT checkpoints and large embedding tables, and made Imagen 4 generally available with a fast version at $0.02/image. Meta-ai-fair introduced DINOv3, a family of self-supervised vision foundation models with high-resolution dense features and strong performance on benchmarks like COCO detection and ADE20K segmentation, under a permissive license. A $150,000 MiniMax AI Agent Challenge is ongoing with 200+ prizes, encouraging AI project builds by August 25.
