You're listening to Tech Beat, and here's what's moving in tech today.
OpenAI has released GPT-five point five, its latest language model, and it comes with a familiar trade-off: better performance, higher price. The company says the new model matches its predecessor's speed while outperforming it on nearly every benchmark. It's rolling out to paid ChatGPT users starting today.
Meanwhile, Meta is cutting eight thousand jobs — its largest round of layoffs since two thousand twenty three. The timing is pointed. The company is simultaneously ramping up spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure, making this a clear signal about where leadership sees the workforce heading, and where it doesn't.
And in a story that sits somewhere between tech and crime, the US Treasury has sanctioned Cambodian senator Kok An, accusing him of running a large-scale crypto fraud network through a web of resorts and casinos. It's a reminder that cryptocurrency's borderless nature continues to attract serious criminal enterprise, and that regulators are increasingly willing to reach across borders to respond.
