OpenAI launches GPT-5-Codex with dynamic reasoning that works autonomously for 7+ hours, targeting GitHub Copilot in the $500M+ AI coding market. The specialized model promises enterprise appeal but faces fierce competition from Cursor and Claude Code.
AI adoption is splitting along wealth lines globally as businesses automate 77% of tasks. Singapore uses Claude 4.6x more than expected while India lags at 0.27x. The concentration threatens to widen economic gaps rather than close them.

Explore the new era of design with Adobe's Photoshop mobile app. Unleash creativity anywhere, anytime with powerful tools at your fingertips.
Adobe just dropped a bombshell: real Photoshop on your iPhone. Not Photoshop Express. Not Photoshop Lite. The actual thing.
The app launched globally today for iOS users. Android folks? They'll have to practice patience until late 2025. Consider it a character-building exercise.
This isn't just another mobile editor. It's Photoshop with its professional pants on. Start a project at your desk, tweak it on your commute, finish it while pretending to watch your kid's soccer practice. The seamless integration with Photoshop on the web makes it all possible.
The free tier is surprisingly generous. You get the Spot Healing Brush, Tap Select, layers, masks, and even Adobe's Firefly AI tools. It's like they forgot to run the feature list by their accountants first.
Premium features? That's where Adobe remembers they're a business. Object Select, Magic Wand, Content Aware Fill, Clone Stamp, and the Remove Tool cost $7.99 monthly or $69.99 annually. But existing Photoshop subscribers get these features included. How thoughtful of them.
Adobe's product lineup now reads like a confused family tree. There's Photoshop proper, Photoshop Express ($4.99/month), Adobe Express, and now this. Someone in marketing must be enjoying the chaos.
This isn't just another update. It's Photoshop finally admitting that phones are computers too. The interface has been completely reimagined for touch, making it feel native to mobile rather than a cramped desktop port.
Why this matters:

ChatGPT's user base flipped from 80% male to 52% female in three years as 700M users treat it like infrastructure. Universities that banned AI now scramble to build policies around tools 92% of students already use daily.
Microsoft and OpenAI end months of toxic negotiations with a deal that gives the nonprofit $100+ billion while clearing OpenAI's path to go public. The agreement reveals how AI partnerships are evolving beyond traditional boundaries.
OpenAI's nonprofit will control a $500B entity while owning $100B+ in equity—an unprecedented governance experiment. Microsoft formalizes partnership even as both companies hedge through diversification. Regulators hold the keys.
Oracle bets $300B on OpenAI's computing future, but the math is stark: OpenAI generates $10B annually while committing to $60B yearly. The deal either transforms Oracle into an AI infrastructure leader—or becomes a cautionary dot-com tale.
