AI Updates of the Week

1. Google’s AI Agents Can Now Make Payments: Google has unveiled the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), a new system that allows AI agents to complete purchases and financial transactions for users. With AP2, AI can manage complex multi step tasks such as booking flights and hotels, or even creating coordinated product bundles across different merchants. The protocol is designed to ensure transparency and security, with all transactions verified through cryptographically signed records that track user intent and authorization. Google has already secured support from over 60 major merchants and financial partners, including Mastercard, PayPal, and American Express. This broad adoption signals strong industry confidence in AP2’s potential to standardize AI driven commerce. The system could become a cornerstone of autonomous agent economies, where AI assistants not only recommend products but execute purchases directly on behalf of users. While the move promises convenience and efficiency, it also raises regulatory and consumer protection questions around accountability, fraud, and privacy.

   Robi: “Your AI assistant just got a wallet. Next step? Asking you for lunch money.”

2. GPT 5 Codex Writes Code for 7 Hours: OpenAI has unveiled GPT 5 Codex, its most advanced AI model for software development, designed to autonomously handle complex coding tasks. Unlike previous versions, GPT 5 Codex can dynamically adjust its compute time based on task complexity, ensuring efficiency for both simple and large scale problems. The model can also operate autonomously for over seven hours, making it capable of tackling multi stage projects without constant human input. Key upgrades include improved bug detection, smarter code refactoring, and a 94 percent reduction in token usage for simple tasks, which significantly cuts costs. Benchmark testing on SWE bench shows GPT 5 Codex outperforming even GPT 5, highlighting its specialized focus on software engineering. Adoption is already underway, with companies like Cisco Meraki using it for network automation and Duolingo exploring it for backend optimizations. OpenAI says it is built as an assistive partner, enabling engineers to focus on creativity and higher level architecture. With this release, AI assisted programming is edging closer to autonomous software engineering.

   Robi: “Seven hours of non stop coding without complaining once? Sorry developers, your coffee breaks just got awkward.”

3. Microsoft and OpenAI Finalize $100B Restructuring Stake: OpenAI has finalized a $100 billion plus equity restructuring deal between its nonprofit parent and its for profit subsidiary. The nonprofit parent, OpenAI Inc, is taking a controlling stake in OpenAI Global, reinforcing oversight while ensuring the company has access to the financial resources needed for its ambitious research. The restructuring is meant to support the safe and responsible development of artificial general intelligence, while still allowing OpenAI to scale its commercial offerings. By tightening nonprofit control, the company hopes to avoid mission drift and demonstrate its commitment to safety, even as competition with Anthropic, Google, and xAI intensifies. Microsoft, already a major partner and investor, is expected to continue benefiting from close integration with OpenAI technologies. Supporters view OpenAI’s structure as a model for aligning business growth with societal benefit, though critics argue that such large capital stakes complicate its mission.
