Good morning. It’s Wednesday, February 11th.
On this day in tech history: In 2015, BQ released the Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, the first smartphone running Canonical's Ubuntu Touch OS. This open-source milestone integrated convergent computing, allowing seamless desktop-mobile transitions via Unity shell. Indirectly boosting AI dev ecosystems, it highlighted Linux-based platforms where early TensorFlow experiments ran, influencing mobile AI frameworks like those optimizing neural nets for edge devices.

Today’s trending AI news stories
OpenAI turns agents into power users with new terminal access and skill sharing
OpenAI is back in hyper-growth, hitting 800 million weekly users while finalizing a 100 billion dollar funding round to reach artificial general intelligence. Strategy has pivoted from chat to agency, led by the new Codex app for macOS and a Responses API update that provides agents with persistent memory and full Debian terminal environments. This means they can run code, manage storage, and install libraries themselves.

They are also leaning into an open skill standard, which makes it easier to move these abilities between different platforms like ChatGPT and Codex. To fund this massive expansion, free lunch is officially: ads and strict message limits are now hitting free and low-cost tiers in the US.
On the consumer side, Deep Research in ChatGPT is now running on GPT-5.2. It is a lot more focused now as you can point the bot at specific websites and watch it work in real-time. To make those long reports easier to handle, they added a full-screen document viewer with a table of contents and a source list.
Meanwhile, the new Codex app for Mac, powered by GPT-5.3-Codex, already hit a million downloads. However, this rapid growth is creating some legal and internal heat. OpenAI is currently fighting a claim that they violated California’s new safety law with the GPT-5.3-Codex release. An AI watchdog says the model hit a high-risk cybersecurity threshold that should have triggered extra safeguards, but OpenAI argues those rules only apply if the model shows long-range autonomy.
The company is also cleaning house and rethinking its physical footprint. Ryan Beiermeister, a top policy exec who reportedly pushed back against a planned adult mode for ChatGPT, was recently fired following a discrimination claim she says is false.
On the hardware front, the Jony Ive-designed AI device has been pushed back to 2027. They also had to ditch the ‘io’ branding because of a trademark lawsuit. The device is still a screen-free, pocket-sized companion, but memory shortages and legal pivots mean it is still a ways off. Read more.
Alphabet plays the long game with a 100 year bet
Alphabet is playing a different game right now. While the rest of the world is chasing the next hype cycle, they just pulled in 32 billion dollars. Part of that is a rare 100-year bond, a move we haven't seen in tech for decades. Most businesses can’t see past the next quarter, but Alphabet is funding a vision that outlasts a human lifetime. They are matching their debt to the actual scale of AI development, building the foundation for the next century.
A major part of this long-term play is Isomorphic Labs. The spinoff team from DeepMind just released the Drug Design Engine, or IsoDDE. It doesn't just guess; it predicts how new drugs hit biological targets with twice the accuracy of AlphaFold 3.
It specifically handles data it has never seen before, which is where traditional models usually fall apart. It is faster and more precise than old-school physics simulations and can map out complex antibody structures that used to be a total mystery. This moves drug discovery from slow, expensive lab work to high-speed digital simulation.
The way you interact with tech is also being rebuilt from the ground up. Google Research is working on Natively Adaptive Interfaces. Instead of you struggling to learn a static app, the app uses an AI orchestrator to change its own layout and functions based on what you need right then. It is the end of the one-size-fits-all interface.

This works alongside a new privacy setup that hunts down and wipes your sensitive info, like passport and Social Security numbers, from search results automatically. No more manual requests; the system handles the defense for you.
Finally, they are closing the gap between creative ideas and actual work. The Stitch design agent now lets you export AI concepts directly into Figma as editable layers. No more starting from scratch because the AI gave you a static image. You take the idea and move straight into production. From 100-year bonds to software that builds itself around the user, the goal is clear: making intelligence the foundation of everything we do. Read more.
