OpenAI has released two newcomers to its GPT-6 family of models, promising lower token costs, more intuitive communication, and an ongoing effort to prevent the kind of rogue agent behavior that has hung heavy over the company in recent months and added more fuel to already heated AI safety debates.

The company has also cut API prices for the new models by 50 per cent compared with promotional pricing for GPT-5.6.

The Canadian province of British Columbia has sued OpenAI for failing to notify authorities about the Tumbler Ridge shooter's chats.
