tperforming 99% of human test takers [13:52].

3. OpenAI Hardware Announcements [15:20]

Smart Speaker: OpenAI is developing a portable, battery-powered smart speaker (screenless, equipped with cameras and potential expressive mechanical movements/lights) [15:54].

Dedicated Coding Keyboard: Codex introduced a limited-run compact keyboard designed specifically for voice commands and macro execution [19:05].

4. Creative AI, Video, & Audio Updates [21:46]

SeaDance 2.5: Preview of upcoming AI video generation updates featuring high-quality 30-second continuous clips [21:50].
