GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT

November 12, 2025

Today we’re upgrading the GPT‑5 series with the release of:

• GPT‑5.1 Instant: our most-used model, now warmer, more intelligent, and better at following your instructions.
• GPT‑5.1 Thinking: our advanced reasoning model, now easier to understand and faster on simple tasks, more persistent on complex ones.

We heard clearly from users that great AI should not only be smart, but also enjoyable to talk to. GPT‑5.1 improves meaningfully on both intelligence and communication style.

We’re also making it easier for you to shape ChatGPT’s tone. Preferences on chat style vary—from person to person and even from conversation to conversation—so we’re introducing more intuitive and effective controls so ChatGPT can better match the tone you want in responses.

Disney making $1 billion investment in OpenAI, will allow characters on Sora AI video generator

Dec 11 2025

The Walt Disney Company on Thursday announced it will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI and will allow users to make videos with its copyrighted characters on its Sora app.

OpenAI launched Sora in September, and it allows users to create short videos by simply typing in a prompt.

As part of the startup’s new three-year licensing agreement with Disney, Sora users will be able make content with more than 200 characters across Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars starting next year.

“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.

I dunno but it seems like it undermines Disney’s future brand integrity/infringement claims when they’re paying OpenAI a billion dollars to let people make fan art and stream it on Disney+. Like NYT suing everyone while also licensing those same APIs for their newsroom. Pick a fucking lane.

"psssssst: it was never about 'le artist rights'"
