OpenAI Reports 10 Million Agent Users

OpenAI says 10 million people are using Codex and ChatGPT Work, signaling a rapid shift from prompt-based use to embedded, paid workflow automation across enterprise apps. The surge, aided by GPT-5.6, reshapes monetization and cloud dynamics after Microsoft’s exclusivity was loosened, intensifying competition with Anthropic and Salesforce as organizations pay for integrated agents rather than standalone tools.

Anthropic $1.5 Billion Copyright Settlement Approved

A San Francisco federal judge approved a $1.5 billion settlement with authors over Anthropic's use of pirated books to train Claude, marking the largest U.S. copyright settlement and covering roughly 480,000 works at about $3,000 per title. The deal ends the case but leaves questions about outputs, requires destruction of pirated files, and drew objections from some authors who say it may not fully compensate or preclude further claims.
