GPT-5.4 unifies reasoning and coding in one model with 1M-token context.

OpenAI's GPT-5.4 combines frontier coding from GPT-5.3-Codex with advanced reasoning into a single model, rolling out to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users. It introduces a 1M-token experimental context window and a fast mode delivering up to 1.5x faster token output.

Research

MiniMax M3 reaches 1M-token context at one-twentieth the compute of its predecessor.

MiniMax's open-weight M3 model uses a new sparse attention architecture to process 1M-token contexts at roughly one-twentieth the compute cost of M2, with 9.7x faster prefill and 15.6x faster decoding. It is the first open-weight model to combine frontier coding, long context, and native image and video input in a single architecture.

Policy

Colorado AI Act enforcement clock starts June 30 with no replacement law in place

Colorado's high-risk AI Act becomes enforceable on June 30, 2026, requiring impact assessments, risk-management programs, and consumer disclosures, with penalties reaching $20,000 per violation. A proposed replacement framework that would have delayed enforcement to January 2027 was not enacted in time.

(CRM) Salesforce Q1 FY27 beats on EPS but soft guidance keeps stock down 33%

Salesforce posted Q1 FY27 EPS of $3.88, beating the $3.12 consensus by 24%, with revenue of $11.13 billion up 13% year-over-year. Despite the strong quarter, below-expectation full-year guidance kept shares flat in after-hours trading, leaving the stock down 33% year-to-date amid investor concern over AI-driven SaaS disruption.

Claude Code upgrades to Opus 4.8 by default and gains parallel subagent workflows.

Anthropic has made Opus 4.8 the default model in Claude Code across Max, Team Premium, Enterprise, and API tiers, pairing the upgrade with a dynamic workflows feature that coordinates large tasks across parallel subagents. A new security-guidance plugin also reviews code changes for vulnerabilities inline.
