OpenAI on July 10 unveiled ChatGPT Work, a workplace AI agent built on GPT-5.6 and Codex that pulls context from multiple apps and files to produce documents, spreadsheets, presentations and web apps. Testing found it could handle tasks across cloud and local folders and connect to Gmail, Google Drive and Notion with minimal setup. But when processing many files and outputs at once, it slowed and results varied in quality.

Growing concern is emerging over a so-called patch gap, as AI can find vulnerabilities and write attack code within hours, leaving corporate security teams with less time to fix flaws. A Google M-Trends 2026 report cites cases where attacks occur before patches are deployed. Tests of Anthropic’s Mythos preview also showed rapid exploit generation for Windows kernel and Firefox vulnerabilities, while experts propose new prioritisation methods for patching.
