Instinct AI agent draws mixed reviews; OpenAI launches new APIs, delays IPO

Instinct, a new personal AI agent, has received mixed reviews, with one user finding it slow and feeling like it imposes a boss-like dynamic. Concerns were also raised about the lack of transparency regarding what these agents remember about users. Meanwhile, OpenAI has announced new API offerings, including GPT-Live-1, the model powering ChatGPT's Voice mode, and an Agents API for managed agent deployment. The company also plans to delay its IPO until at least 2026 due to ongoing work on AI alignment, control, and safety. AI
