Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the technology stories that matter.
OpenAI has published a model guide for the GPT-six family, walking developers and startups through how to choose the right model, tune reasoning effort, and build workflows ready for production. It's a signal that the ecosystem around these tools is maturing fast, and the real work now is figuring out how to deploy them well, not just use them.
On the media side, the Paramount and Skydance merger is moving forward with a new identity — the combined company will carry the Skydance name going forward. CEO David Ellison made the announcement himself on social media, and it marks a significant reshaping of one of Hollywood's oldest studios as streaming pressures continue to force consolidation across the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Insta360 has quietly turned its three-sixty cameras into something genuinely useful beyond video. A new feature called Spatial Capture, free and currently in beta, converts three-sixty footage into navigable three-dimensional models of real spaces. Users on the X-four Air, X-five, and X-six cameras get four free renders a month through the app — a low barrier entry point into spatial computing that doesn't require expensive dedicated hardware.
