OpenAI's making music—and robots are getting smarter

OpenAI's on a creative tear: they're building a generative music tool while simultaneously rolling out Company Knowledge, letting ChatGPT tap into your Slack, Drive, and GitHub (with citations, naturally). Meanwhile, a fresh study from Anthropic and Thinking Machines reveals some wild personality differences across frontier models - turns out Claude's the ethics-minded one, OpenAI's chasing efficiency, and Grok's just out here taking risks. And on the robotics front, Coco Robotics brought in a UCLA professor to scale up autonomous delivery with a shiny new Physical AI lab. So here's the question: if your AI can see all your company secrets, what's the first thing you're asking it to do?
