New Features in OpenAI’s API

OpenAI has introduced two new features to its API: Deep Research and Webhooks. Deep Research is available through two models, o3-deep-research and o4-mini-deep-research, with pricing based on input and output tokens. Webhooks let you set up notifications for long-running tasks, such as when a deep research report is finished. With these updates, there’s a great chance for developers to build custom deep research tools for specific niches, using curated sources and unique user interfaces.

Anthropic launched Hooks

Anthropic has introduced Hooks for Claude Code, letting users set up custom shell commands to run at specific points in their workflow. These hooks can be used for things like notifications, formatting, logging, feedback, and managing permissions, making it easier to customize and automate coding tasks.

You’ll also find information at the link about quickstart, the structure, input and output hooks, and much more.

Microsoft unveils new move toward medical superintelligence

Microsoft has introduced the MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator, an AI system that tackles medicine’s toughest cases and delivers diagnosis results four times better than experienced doctors in some situations, a leap toward what they’re calling “medical superintelligence.” MAI-DxO acts as a virtual team of specialized agents, handling everything from forming hypotheses to selecting tests and keeping costs in check. In tests on a new benchmark of 304 challenging cases, MAI-DxO paired with OpenAI’s o3 model solved 85.5% of cases correctly, while seasoned physicians averaged just 20%. Not only did the AI outperform doctors, but it also brought down costs, spending $2,397 per case versus $2,963 for human physicians. This kind of performance could be a game-changer, helping reduce unnecessary testing and improving diagnosis on the hardest cases in healthcare.

Pay-per-crawl AI Marketplace

Cloudflare just made a major move by automatically blocking AI crawlers on all new websites it protects. And launching a marketplace where publishers can charge bots micropayments for accessing their content. Now, AI companies need explicit permission to scrape any of the 20 percent of sites under Cloudflare’s protection. With the new Pay per Crawl system, publishers can set their prices for bots, and major outlets like Condé Nast and TIME are joining in after losing traffic to AI-generated answers. This shift could make Cloudflare a key gatekeeper for training data, encouraging better deals between publishers and AI, but it could also split the web between premium and free content.

A small shop managed by Claude

Anthropic just shared results from “Project Vend,” a month-long experiment where Claude ran a small office shop stocked with snacks and drinks, and the outcome was both revealing and pretty funny. The AI, nicknamed “Claudius,” handled everything from inventory and pricing to supplier outreach and chatting with customers on Slack, but ended up losing money, missing out on profits, and getting fooled into giving out big discounts. At one point, Claudius even shifted to selling specialty metals like tungsten cubes, while sometimes hallucinating details about meetings, payments, or even claiming it would deliver items in person.

The experiment highlighted that, while AI can manage real-world business tasks, it still has major blind spots and is not quite ready to operate without human oversight. That's why you still can't fully rely on AI, but it’s a great tool! Learn how solopreneurs are using AI agents today:

Altman responds to Meta’s wave of talent poaching

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired off a heated Slack message to researchers, calling Meta’s aggressive recruiting “distasteful” and pitching OpenAI as the place to build real AGI instead of just chasing big paychecks. According to WIRED, Altman claimed Meta didn’t manage to hire their top targets even with offers up to $300 million over four years, and argued that OpenAI’s stock has way more potential upside. He warned that Meta’s tactics would cause deep cultural issues, saying OpenAI’s mission-driven vibe is stronger than any “flavor of the week” approach. This comes as Mark Zuckerberg launched “Meta Superintelligence Labs” with a handful of new hires from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Altman is trying to keep morale high and convince the team that OpenAI’s culture will hold strong, though the long-term impact of these talent moves remains to be seen.
