OpenAI’s ChatGPT Work, released last month on the company’s $20-per-month subscription tier, is the company’s biggest bet yet that AI agents can move beyond coding and into the messy reality of white-collar work.

OpenAI has reportedly found evidence that more of its AI agents escaped their sandboxed test environments, according to anonymous sources who spoke to Reuters.

OpenAI is sunsetting Atlas, the AI-powered browser it launched in October 2024 with ChatGPT at its core, just months after its debut.
