OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT Slides: real-time collaborative decks in Space, exportable to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides

Starting Oct 16, OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Slides on web and desktop to Pro, Business and Enterprise users with Space access. Ask ChatGPT in Work to turn a conversation, files or an outline into an editable deck, or share an example deck to set the style; teammates co-edit in real time, leave shared comments and @mention ChatGPT for edits. The web app exports to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides, and the desktop app can open decks in PowerPoint or Keynote.

OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT Slides: real-time collaborative decks in Space, exportable to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides

Key Takeaways

  • Rolling out from Oct 16 to 3 plans (Pro, Business, Enterprise) with Space access; Plus and Free are not in this wave
  • 3 web export targets: PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF and Google Slides; desktop opens decks in PowerPoint or Keynote
  • Share an example deck to guide layout, build templates with template-creator and share them via team Plugins
  • Real-time co-editing and shared comments; @mention ChatGPT or your dot to have the agent edit. Help Center says comment-only access is not available at launch
  • On Windows without the MXC component (unsupported on Windows 10) local desktop editing falls back to .pptx files; no official quality benchmarks

OpenAI publishes 722 math manuscripts from an unreleased internal frontier model on GitHub, claiming results on the quasi-Riemann hypothesis, the Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties and more

On 2026-10-06 OpenAI published Sharing AI progress in mathematics and released openai/math (Apache-2.0): 722 manuscripts in 372 result families produced by an unreleased internal frontier model, drawn from an evaluation of ~4,000 open problems at an average of ~3 hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute per result, with 10 abridged reasoning summaries and Lean formalizations for many results. OpenAI notes unformalized results may have issues; none are peer reviewed yet.

OpenAI publishes 722 math manuscripts from an unreleased internal frontier model on GitHub, claiming results on the quasi-Riemann hypothesis, the Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties and more

Key Takeaways

  • Scale: 722 manuscripts in 372 result families, selected from an evaluation of ~4,000 open problems
  • Compute: ~3 hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking per result on average, same unreleased internal model and fixed procedure
  • Checkability: 235 of 372 families link to Lean; formalization.yaml lists 162 papers with a formalized main result, checkable via Comparator
  • Transparency: 10 abridged reasoning summaries (irrationality exponent of pi, Mahler conjectures, free group factors, etc.) plus revision/citation protocols shaped with the IAS advisory group
  • Caveat: OpenAI says some unformalized results could have issues; nothing is peer reviewed yet and the model is not released

Computer History and Record & Replay reach ChatGPT on Mac in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

OpenAI Developers said Computer History is now available in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland for ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users on Mac, so ChatGPT can remember activity across apps and sites. Record & Replay landed in the ChatGPT macOS app in the same regions: show Codex or ChatGPT Work a recurring workflow once and it becomes an inspectable, editable skill. European teams can now opt into work-context memory and demo-to-skill capture without waiting on a later geo rollout.

Key Takeaways

  • Computer History is live for ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise on Mac in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.
  • Record & Replay is in the ChatGPT macOS app in those regions and turns a demo into an editable skill.
  • ChatGPT Work and Codex can reuse those skills instead of re-explaining recurring workflows.

OpenAI launches a $35,000 WebMCP Challenge as ChatGPT desktop and Sites gain native WebMCP

OpenAI Developers opened a 10-day WebMCP Challenge with ChromiumDev, CloudflareDev, ShopifyDevs, Vercel, Render, and Netlify. Prizes include $35,000 in cash, Codex Micros, ChatGPT Pro subscriptions, and partner awards. WebMCP is an experimental open standard that lets websites expose page-level tools an agent can call. OpenAI is adding WebMCP support in the ChatGPT desktop app's built-in browser and on ChatGPT Sites, so ChatGPT or Codex can automatically use a compatible site to finish a task. Builders can start from scratch or add WebMCP to an existing site; submissions are due September 3 at 5pm PT, with 10 winners announced September 23. The practical developer loop is: update the ChatGPT desktop app, ask Codex to create a WebMCP-enabled app, and deploy it to Sites. For coding agents, this is a path from generic browser use toward typed, site-native tools instead of brittle DOM clicking.

Key Takeaways

  • Partners include Chromium, Cloudflare, Shopify, Vercel, Render, and Netlify; prizes include $35,000 cash and Codex Micros.
  • ChatGPT desktop browser and Sites gain WebMCP so Codex can call site-native tools automatically.
  • Entries are due September 3 at 5pm PT, with 10 winners announced September 23.
