In this episode, we discuss eight states suing OpenAI over ChatGPT safety claims, FTC subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic, xAI's Grok Voice 3.0 launch, and StepFun's Step 5 Preview open weights release. We explain why state attorneys general accuse OpenAI of misleading consumers about ChatGPT safety, sycophancy, and design that harms young users, and how the FTC investigation into OpenAI and Anthropic now demands documents on AI safeguards, security incidents, and marketing. We also look at how Grok Voice 3.0 automatically upgraded developers on xAI's Voice Agent API and why voice agent teams should retest their apps. Finally, we cover StepFun, a Chinese AI developer, releasing its 600 billion parameter mixture of experts Step 5 Preview model on Hugging Face.
