  • Your Mac activity becomes ChatGPT's memory

    Computer History logs interaction events — clicks, typing, app switches, not screenshots — into a local, searchable timeline, so you can ask “what was I debugging yesterday?” and get an answer without re-explaining. It's opt-in and off by default, Pro/Business/Enterprise only, with the EEA, UK, and Switzerland getting it in the coming weeks. It replaces the screenshot-based Chronicle preview, and OpenAI warns it widens prompt-injection exposure.

  • @-mention your Drive files, no re-uploading

    The same update pulls Google Drive into Library: browse Docs, Sheets, and Slides, @-mention them in the composer, point ChatGPT at whole folders, and — where you've authorized it — let it edit source files in place. It's rolling out on web to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare; My Drive and directly-shared items only, Shared Drives not yet, mobile later.

  • Elsewhere: Grok 4.6's 500K window hides a 200K cliff

    xAI's Grok 4.6 ships a 500K-token context at $2/$6 per million and matches GPT-5.6 Sol Max on the intelligence index — but cross 200K prompt tokens and the rate doubles to $4/$12 on every token in the request, so a 250K call runs 4x-plus a sub-200K one. Keep agent context under 200K to dodge the cliff.
