📢 OpenAI introduces ads in ChatGPT

In partnership with

✨ Welcome back, Entrepreneurs

This issue captures AI’s shift from experimentation to execution. OpenAI begins testing ads inside ChatGPT, humanoid robots demonstrate real-world endurance, translation models scale across languages, and health signals move earlier and quieter through continuous sensing.

🧩 OpenAI begins testing ads in ChatGPT Free and Go tiers

OpenAI will soon start testing clearly labeled “Sponsored” ads inside ChatGPT for logged-in users on the Free tier and the new $8/month Go plan.

Highlights

• Ads are clearly labeled and kept separate from AI responses

• Conversations remain private and are not shared with advertisers

• Sensitive topics like health and politics are excluded

• Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers stay ad-free

Why it matters

With AI costs rising, OpenAI is exploring ads without compromising trust drawing a clear line between monetization and model behavior while preserving an ad-free experience for paid power users.

🤖 Figure AI shows real-world endurance gains in humanoid robots

Figure AI shared an uncut outdoor demo of its humanoid robots jogging alongside engineers on its Sunnyvale campus, highlighting rapid progress in bipedal locomotion and stability.

Highlights

• Robots jog at ~2 m/s (about a 12-minute mile) on real sidewalks

• Handle turns and uneven pavement using onboard neural networks

• Around 4 hours of battery life during sustained motion

• Demonstrates readiness beyond lab-controlled environments

Why it matters

Reliable, long-duration movement is a key bottleneck for humanoid robots. Figure AI’s demo signals a shift from short, staged tests toward real-world endurance, an essential step for deploying humanoids in homes, warehouses, and everyday environments.

⚡ Google’s TranslateGemma aims to remove language barriers in healthcare

Google introduced TranslateGemma, a suite of open translation models based on Gemma 3, providing high-quality translation in 55 languages. Available in 4B, 12B, and 27B sizes, these models outperform larger baselines on WMT24++ benchmarks and support scalable, low-latency, global deployment across platforms.

🩺 AIHealthTech Insider: Is your sleep quietly predicting your lifespan?

This issue explores how chronic sleep deprivation is emerging as one of the strongest predictors of reduced life expectancy outpacing diet and exercise.

With AI and wearables continuously measuring sleep quality, recovery, and disruption, rest is becoming a core longevity signal rather than a wellness afterthought.

👉Read Issue #83 to see how sleep data, AI, and continuous sensing are reshaping early health insight long before symptoms appear.

Big AI moves

🔹Replit brings AI-built mobile apps into production

Replit launched a workflow to create Native apps from a single prompt, enabling instant QR code testing and App Store publishing. Supported by React's creator, it integrates databases, authentication, and APIs like OpenAI, Apple Maps, and Twilio, speeding up AI-generated app deployment.

🔹Anthropic introduces Economic Index to track real-world AI impact

Anthropic's fourth Economic Index introduces "economic primitives" to assess Claude's role in various tasks and jobs. The report shows AI boosts productivity in complex, high-skill work but impacts jobs, countries, and tasks unevenly as AI adoption grows.

✨AGIBOT leads global humanoid robot shipments in 2025

In 2025, Shanghai-based AGIBOT shipped over 5,100 humanoid robots, capturing 39% of the global market. At CES 2026, they debuted in the U.S., highlighting service-focused robots, as China rapidly deploys while Western rivals emphasize advanced mobility and autonomy.

🤖CES 2026 didn’t feel futuristic. It felt operational.

CES 2026 crossed a line. Robots stopped being demos and started becoming infrastructure. The real signals weren’t obvious—this breakdown shows what actually shipped, what’s already deployed, and why it matters next.

⚙️ Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gmail signal a shift in AI control

This Sunday Special breaks down three moves that signal a clear shift in AI’s direction. Anthropic secures Claude Code for enterprise, OpenAI boosts execution with new talent, and Gmail uses AI to prioritize inboxes, marking a shift to scalable, reliable AI systems for real-world use.
