OpenAI models help engineers accelerate design work
OpenAI: Accelerating engineering for the physical world
Discover how ChatGPT and Codex are helping engineers accelerate CAD, PCB design, simulation, and other workflows across the physical world.
Get smart on it
OpenAI models are being used to help engineers design, simulate, and build physical products by supporting tasks like creating mechanical designs, electrical schematics, circuit boards, and manufacturing drawings. The capability matters because internal testing shows these models can accelerate iteration and reduce manual work across engineering disciplines, allowing engineers to spend more time exploring ideas rather than handling repetitive tasks. OpenAI is measuring progress through benchmarks that test whether models can reconstruct 3D parts and identify circuit connections, and is collaborating with industry partners to test these capabilities on real engineering problems and refine where improvements are needed for safe and reliable use.

OpenAI's upcoming chat-and-work merger in ChatGPT signals the end of all-you-can-prompt pricing
OpenAI combines the Chat and Work modes into a single interface. Starting in December, Plus, Pro, and Business plans will share a common, token-based quota for ChatGPT and Codex. More complex models consume more of this quota, while simple instant chats do not count toward it. In practice, this is likely to result in a decline in ChatGPT’s quality for heavy users on lower-cost plans.

Apple starts giving Siri AI access to third-party apps
Apple will now let Siri AI perform actions across third-party apps. As part of the iOS 27.3 update rolling out on Tuesday, Apple announced developers can now integrate Siri AI's new features in "all apps," allowing the voice assistant to draw on a user's personal context, process natural language prompts, and use on-screen awareness to complete requests. The update, which is rolling out as part of a Developer Preview, also adds a new "app skills" feature that third-party develo
OpenAI says ChatGPT is catching up to Google in search
In many circles, "Ask Chat" has replaced "Google it," and that's reflected in a new announcement from OpenAI: the volume of search queries run through ChatGPT now equals 20 percent of the volume run through Google. Adam Fry, OpenAI's consumer product lead for ChatGPT, made the announcement at a press event on Monday. He said the company defines a search as any time a user inputs a query that results in a web search, as opposed to tasks like defining a term or a simple how-to ex
