This morning’s briefing brings an unusual alliance: Meta and Apple have teamed up on a downloadable AI model tailored for Macs. Workplace updates include generally available legal skills in Copilot and new ChatGPT voices, while Gmail’s latest features remain limited to the US.
New releases
ChatGPT Voice. GPT-Live-1.1 is rolling out on Plus and eligible paid plans, with GPT-Live-1.1 Quip on Free and Go, bringing new voices and more natural multilingual accents. More
ChatGPT Sites. Plus and Pro no longer have a fixed Site-count cap; creating and editing Sites still uses Codex allowance, and shared usage and storage limits remain. More
Codex CLI. Codex CLI 0.163.0 adds immediate steering through follow-up messages, interruption of running Code Mode tools, and searchable settings through /config. More
OpenAI GPT-Live API. GPT-Live-1 applications can now call the beta Decisions API directly, letting software classify requests or react while someone is still speaking. More
Claude Enterprise. Claude Enterprise’s beta Compliance API now exports saved chat and Cowork instructions, including account-level text shared across every organisation a member belongs to. More
Claude API and Microsoft Foundry. The Claude API’s Opus 5.5 fast mode opens to Start, Build and Scale without approval, at unchanged US$8 per million input tokens and US$40 per million output tokens; Azure-hosted Foundry deployments also gain support. More
Microsoft Copilot for legal. More than 20 legal skills are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot commercial subscribers in Word desktop and Cowork, including contract review and tracked edits. More
Gmail AI Inbox. AI Inbox is expanding to US users using US English on Workspace Business and Enterprise Standard/Plus and Frontline Plus: Rapid Release began 12 October; Scheduled Release starts 26 October. More
Gmail Live. Gmail Live beta is rolling out to eligible US English Workspace accounts in the US on Android and iPhone, adding spoken inbox search, source cards and voice selection. More
GitHub Copilot in Slack and Teams. Paid GitHub Copilot users can now query multiple repositories within one Slack or Teams conversation in public preview; Slack also gains shared messages and threads as context. More
GitHub Code Security. AI Scan reaches general availability for public and licensed private repositories, while eligible Enterprise Cloud security customers gain agentic fixes; both consume Code Security AI Credits, with fixes also using Actions minutes. More
GitHub Copilot models. Claude Opus 4.8, Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra leave GitHub Copilot on 16 November 2026; individual annual subscribers retain Opus 4.8. More
