Pressure on how chatbots behave also grew: a family has sued OpenAI over GPT-4o's medication advice, New York has banned a list of chatbot features for minors, and Australia's House has passed a bill that targets chatbots built to make children emotionally dependent. For builders, Nvidia released an open transcription model and GitHub made model routing in Copilot generally available. Here are the 5 stories that matter most, then 15 briefs.
