1.💸 OpenAI Drops GPT-5 Prices Hard

OpenAI isn’t just chasing smarter AI. It’s slashing prices.
GPT-5 now costs $1.25 per million input tokens and $10 for output—dramatically undercutting Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.1. Developers are already calling it a pricing nuke.
Brains and budget rarely come in the same package, but OpenAI is betting that scale beats margins.
This isn’t a discount. It’s a play to dominate the AI market.

2.🏃♂️ Robots Just Ran Their First Olympics

China just hosted the first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games.
Over 500 robots from 16 countries competed in everything from 100-meter sprints to boxing and kung fu. Some hit speeds of 10 mph, while others stumbled mid-race or piled up in chaotic robot football scrums.
This isn’t sci-fi. Robots are now stepping into the sports arena.

3.🤖 Alexa Just Got a Personality Upgrade

Amazon just gave Alexa a serious upgrade—and now she’s got personality.
The new AI-powered Alexa can chat casually, crack jokes, and even tell stories like a friend who never leaves your side. She also learns your habits over time, getting smarter the more you use her.
Some say it’s the future of smart assistants. Others think it’s a little too close to having a robot roommate.
