GPT-5.4 beats humans at their own desktops

Image source: OpenAI

OpenAI just rolled out GPT-5.4, the company’s new top model with major upgrades on desktop tasks, coding, reasoning, science, math, and more — with VP of Science Kevin Weil calling it “our best model ever”.

The details:

• OAI shipped GPT-5.4 just two days after rolling out 5.3 Instant as the default chat model, available now as GPT-5.4 Thinking for Plus, Team, and Pro users.

• The model scored 75% on OSWorld-V, which tests real desktop navigation — 3 points above the human baseline of 72.4% and 2x of what GPT-5.2 managed.

  Smartphone 101 - Pick a smartphone for me - android or iOS - Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy or Huawei or Xaomi or Google Pixel
  

• 5.4 also supports up to 1M tokens of context and a new x-high reasoning effort setting, letting agents plan and execute across longer tasks that take hours.

• GPT-5.4 won or matched against professionals 83% of the time on GDPval, a knowledge-work benchmark across 44 jobs — up from 71% for GPT-5.2.

Why it matters: OpenAI needed a win after a rough week of sentiment, and GPT 5.4 looks like one — with performance that looks to take the next step up the frontier, particularly for desktop use cases to push forward agentic abilities. The launch also comes with a big statement from OAI researcher Noam Brown: “We see no wall”.

Netflix acquires Ben Affleck’s AI filmmaking startup

Netflix just acquired InterPositive, a stealth AI filmmaking company Ben Affleck started in 2022 — bringing all 16 staffers and Affleck himself aboard as senior adviser in a rare acquisition for a streaming giant.

The details:

• InterPositive’s tech trains models on a production’s own footage, then handles post work like relighting, swapping backgrounds, and fixing continuity errors.

• Affleck said he was shocked by how much engineering talent was pouring into AI video, “but no artistic, no filmmaking information whatsoever”.

• The actor emphasized that his company’s tech is “not generating video from nothing”, instead learning from the existing filmed shots and actors.

• Affleck appeared on the JRE Podcast last month, saying he “can’t stand” what AI writes, and that the tech would be more of a tool for production workflows.

Why it matters: Hollywood has spent the AI boom either hiding the tech’s use or railing against it, but an Oscar-winning industry leader putting his reputation on a tool could go a long way to shifting sentiment. For all the “AI killed Hollywood” X posts, the real upgrades come from the production workflow aspects Affleck is addressing.

AI RESEARCH

Anthropic’s early-warning system for AI job loss

Image source: Anthropic

Anthropic published a study on AI’s job impact, cross-referencing what AI could automate against what people are using Claude for — finding that while mass layoffs haven’t hit, the youngest workers in are already getting squeezed out.

The details:

• The study uses “observed exposure,” a metric that gauges AI job displacement by comparing tasks AI can do to what they are already automating.

• Computer programmers top the exposure list at 75% task coverage, followed by customer service reps and data entry workers at 67%.

• Roughly a third of the U.S. workforce sits at zero AI exposure right now, largely in hands-on roles like cooks, bartenders, and lifeguards.

• No broad unemployment spike has appeared since ChatGPT’s launch in 2022, but hiring into exposed fields for 22-to-25-year-olds fell 14% in that time.

Why it matters: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has not been subtle about what he believes is looming on the jobs front due to AI, and we’ve already seen several industry stock prices tank this year following Claude releases. But even with the warnings, the world still feels drastically underprepared for the disruption coming.

Anthropic to sue Pentagon over supply chain risk designation

• Anthropic plans to sue the Department of War after receiving a letter confirming the company has been designated as a supply chain risk to national security under statute 10 USC 3252.

• The company says the designation has a narrow scope, applying only to customers using Claude as a direct part of Department of War contracts, not all business relationships with Anthropic.

• Anthropic also apologized for a leaked internal post written on a difficult day, calling its tone not reflective of careful views, and offered to keep supporting warfighters during any transition.

US may impose new export rules on AI chips

• The Trump administration has reportedly drafted rules that would require U.S. government approval for shipping AI chips to any destination outside the country, giving regulators more control over companies like AMD and Nvidia.

• Under the proposed system, the Commerce Department would review each purchase, with small orders getting a basic review and large orders potentially requiring involvement from the buyer’s own government.

• Nvidia is already feeling the effects of export restrictions, having lost Chinese customers after nearly a year of uncertainty, raising concerns that tighter controls could push buyers toward non-U.S. chip sources.

Oracle plans thousands of job cuts in face of AI cash crunch

• Oracle is preparing to cut thousands of jobs across multiple divisions as it faces a cash crunch driven by its expensive AI data center expansion effort.

• Wall Street projects Oracle’s cash flow will turn negative over the coming years before its data center spending pays off in 2030, and the company plans to raise $50 billion through debt and equity sales.

• Oracle’s stock has fallen 54% from its September 2025 high, and the company disclosed in September a restructuring plan costing as much as $1.6 billion in severance and related expenses.

What Else Happened in AI on March 06th 2026?

The Pentagon officially labeled Anthropic ‘supply chain risk’, which the company plans to challenge in court, coming amid reports that both sides had resumed deal talks.

Lightricks released LTX-2.3, an upgrade to its powerful open-source video model, and LTX Desktop, a free local video editor built on the same engine.

Google released an open-source CLI for its full Workspace suite, with 40+ built-in agent skills designed for easy integration into agentic platforms.

Ex-OpenAI chief research officer Bob McGrew is raising $70M at a $700M valuation for Arda, his startup building an AI platform to automate factory floors with robots.

Meta is being sued after an investigation found that overseas contractors reviewing Ray-Ban AI smart glasses footage were seeing nudity and other private user content.
