New ChatGPT and Claude AI models launched.- Models are low-cost, designed for coding and research.
- Concerns about AI privacy and control persist.
Both the companies claim the newer models are smaller and cheaper to run than the previous versions which makes them directly appealing to more customers so want to spend less for similar returns. Anthropic says Opus 5.5 has been developed to be at par with the Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks but costs less to run.

The company also highlighted that Opus 5.5 is the first model to be released after its CEO Dario Amodei called for slowing down AI model development with focus on making them safer and letting external parties test their usability and other parameters.
The GPT 6 Sol and Luna are OpenAI’s new entrants that are also designed to work for coding, and tasks like summarising documents among others. The company is also quick to point out the affordable nature of the GPT 6 versions by making the AI tokens cheaper for the subscribers. The GPT 6 Sol is said to make 50 percent less mistakes than its predecessor which is a big feat at its lower cost.
AI releases definitely should slow down from here on, but companies also need to make sure they are safe and don’t go rogue by attacking other systems.
Both Claude and GPT have been found guilty of such adventures in recent months, forcing the companies to seek external audits to make sure the attacks don’t get fiercer and damaging in the near future.
