Get ready to blast off into the AI cosmos this week! We’re tracking OpenAI’s mysterious new model, Orion, set to launch with star power and exclusivity in December. Meanwhile, Perplexity AI’s search engine is making waves with 100 million weekly queries (and a few legal ripples), and GoChess Mini is here to add some AI flair to your chessboard. From cosmic-scale upgrades to game-changing tools, this lineup has a little something for everyone.
AI's Next Star: Orion is Set to Shine!
Get ready for some cosmic excitement as OpenAI gears up to launch its latest AI model, codenamed Orion, just in time for December! Unlike its predecessors, Orion won't be flying straight into the ChatGPT universe but will first give a VIP tour to select companies. This means they'll get to tinker and build their own features before the rest of us even get a peek. Talk about an exclusive club!
Rumor has it that this model could be a whopping 100 times more powerful than GPT-4! Meanwhile, CEO Sam Altman had a bit of a Twitter tantrum, calling some reports “fake news.” But with a history of shadowy hints, including a recent tweet about winter constellations, the buzz is hard to ignore. Are we looking at the dawn of something monumental in AI, or is it just another starry-eyed dream? Only time will tell!
As OpenAI adjusts to its new for-profit status following a hefty $6.6 billion funding round, the team is also facing a game of musical chairs with leadership changes. So, will Orion be the shiny new toy that keeps OpenAI on top, or just another blip in the cosmic expanse of AI innovation? Grab your telescopes—December’s going to be a wild ride!

Perplexity's Query Quest: AI Search Hits 100M Weekly Milestone
Perplexity AI just hit a jaw-dropping milestone, processing 100 million search queries each week—that’s nearly 400 million a month! This soaring engagement, up from July's 250 million, signals that people are hooked on Perplexity’s unique AI-powered results. But there’s more on the horizon: soon, Pro subscribers might be able to buy products with a single click, bringing e-commerce into the search game.
And Perplexity's plans don’t stop there. Talks are underway with brands like Nike and Marriott to add a splash of sponsored content, aiming to weave ads directly into searches. But all is not sunny for Perplexity. Facing a wave of legal backlash, including lawsuits from News Corp and warnings from The New York Times, it’s under fire for allegedly “lifting” content from major publishers.
Despite the legal drama, Perplexity’s growth potential is catching investors’ eyes—they’re reportedly looking to raise $500 million at an $8 billion valuation. It seems the AI search engine wars are only just beginning!
