OpenAI Drops Its Browser 🔥

In partnership with

👋 Morning, Reader!

If it feels like AI’s taking over everything—you’re right. OpenAI just dropped its own browser, Anthropic is going full PR mode to calm the U.S. government, and Amazon’s automation dreams are about to make robots your new coworkers. Buckle up — today’s updates are spicy. 🌶️

🌐 OpenAI Joins the Browser War With Atlas

Meet the AI browser that can see, click, and remember.

OpenAI just launched Atlas, its long-rumored AI browser that puts ChatGPT inside your web experience — letting it see what’s on your screen, remember sites, and even complete tasks for you.

The details:

• Atlas runs on ChatGPT at its core, featuring a built-in sidebar assistant and Agent Mode.

• It can click and navigate websites for you, though safety limits prevent sensitive actions.

• Memory mode lets it “remember” visited pages to personalize future responses.

• Currently Mac-only (sorry, Windows users) and limited to Plus, Pro, and Business users.

• Pricing and Windows release details are still under wraps.

Why it matters: This move officially puts OpenAI in direct competition with Comet, Arc, and other AI browsers. While Atlas doesn’t yet introduce jaw-dropping new features, it’s a power play — integrating ChatGPT’s agent capabilities directly into how you browse. If OpenAI nails it, Atlas could become the Chrome of the AI era.

🇺🇸 Anthropic’s Political Balancing Act

CEO Dario Amodei fires back at U.S. government criticism.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just stepped into the political spotlight — issuing a statement reaffirming his company’s commitment to “American AI leadership” after U.S. AI czar David Sacks blasted the startup for bias and “regulatory capture.”

The details:

• Anthropic highlighted its $200M Department of War contract and government partnerships.

• The company cited internal data showing less political bias than rival models.

• Sacks accused Amodei of calling Trump a “feudal warlord” and framing Anthropic as anti-administration.

• The exchange dragged in big names like Reid Hoffman, sparking a messy X-thread debate.

Why it matters: As AI intertwines with policy, startups like Anthropic must juggle government alignment, public trust, and investor interests. The bigger these models get, the more politics they’ll attract — and the more PR firefighting founders will need to do.
