🛎️ ChatGPT’s Code Leaks

Plus: DeepSeek Drops V3.2, NVIDIA Launches AR1

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

A market entering its true phase of industrial competition, where secrecy, speed, and silicon collide.

LEAK

ChatGPT’s Code Leaks Its Next Act: Ads Are Coming

👀 What’s happening: Developers have uncovered ad modules buried in ChatGPT’s Android beta including “search ad,” “carousel,” and “bazaar content.” The timing is no accident. OpenAI’s compute bill now runs into billions per quarter, and HSBC projects that its much-touted 2029 profitability target will not only fail but sink into more than $100 billion in cumulative losses. After months of denial, the company seems ready to trade purity for revenue. The leak shows a fully-formed ad system waiting for the green light.

🔥 How this hits reality: OpenAI isn’t experimenting; it’s scrambling. Every token burns cash, and Plus subscriptions barely keep the lights on. Ads are no longer strategy; they’re triage. Expect “sponsored recommendations” wrapped in friendly chat, where every helpful answer quietly carries a margin.

🛎️ Key takeaway: ChatGPT isn’t welcoming advertisers; it’s summoning them to keep breathing.

TOGETHER WITH SECOND ME

If you’re like me, you’re tired of seeing AI-generated personas and perfect, curated profiles everywhere online.

That’s why Second Me is built to bring back real connection in the AI era. It uses AI to understand your identity, and then use that identity, your “second me,” to find people who actually get you.

As the internet fills with AI-generated content and AI-generated “friends,” authenticity becomes a superpower. Why use AI to produce more fake content when it can help you find your people? Second Me builds for that reality.

The Social Network for AI Era

Identity as a living model: Your Second Me is powered by a dynamic model of your interests, personality, memories, and voice. It gets to know you even better than you know yourself, and evolves with you.
AI-to-AI presence replaces passive feeds: Instead of swiping or gaming the algorithm, your AI identity actively explores conversations for you, surfacing people who share your energy, even outside your usual circles.
Anti-hashtag matchmaking: Second Me connects people through the subtle traits, vibes, and patterns traditional algorithms can’t see. Sometimes it feels like serendipity.
Conversations that skip the awkward part: AI-to-AI icebreakers help you enter meaningful exchanges without small talk or social pressure.
Not a companion, but real connections: Second Me isn’t giving you a roster of AI friends. It uses AI to help real humans find each other quickly, effortlessly and authentically.

In a world of perfect avatars and synthetic relationships, Second Me chooses a different path.

No one-way AI chat. No performative profiles. No labels.

AI should make it easier to be yourself and meet others who actually resonate.

NEW LAUNCH

DeepSeek Drops an Open-Source GPT-5 Rival With a 70% Compute Discount

👀 What’s happening: Chinese startup DeepSeek just released two new models, V3.2 and V3.2-Speciale, which it claims match GPT-5 and Gemini 3 Pro across reasoning, coding, and math benchmarks. But the real story isn’t accuracy. It’s DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a homegrown architecture that cuts long-context inference costs by roughly 70 percent without sacrificing quality. That means a 300-page input now runs on mid-tier GPUs instead of data-center clusters. And the kicker: both models are free under an MIT license.

🔥 How this hits reality: DeepSeek just detonated the economics of frontier AI. By combining near-state-of-the-art capability with radically cheaper compute, it drags elite reasoning out of the cloud and into private servers, labs, and laptops. The open-source release turns every local deployment into a political statement — cheaper, faster, and outside U.S. API control. The fight for AI dominance just shifted from training budgets to inference efficiency.

🛎️ Key takeaway: DeepSeek didn’t outspend Silicon Valley. It out-engineered it and made the upgrade free for anyone with a GPU.

NEW LAUNCH

NVIDIA Unveils Alpamayo-R1

👀 What’s happening: At NeurIPS, NVIDIA unveiled Alpamayo-R1 (AR1), the first open reasoning model built specifically for autonomous driving. Think of it as a plug-and-play cognitive layer that fuses vision, language, and path-planning into one reasoning loop. Unlike Tesla’s or Waymo’s sealed systems, AR1 is broader and lives on GitHub and Hugging Face, inviting smaller automakers and robotics startups to fine-tune their own “driver minds.”

🔥 How this hits reality: NVIDIA just democratized the hardest part of autonomy, not perception, but judgment. AR1 turns driving logic into infrastructure, letting logistics fleets, mining trucks, and farm robots train local intelligence without building a billion-dollar data engine. It’s also a clever moat play: open the model, own the ecosystem. Whoever builds on AR1 still needs NVIDIA silicon to run on.

🛎️ Key takeaway: By open-sourcing the driver’s brain, NVIDIA isn’t giving autonomy away; it’s quietly licensing the future of motion through CUDA.
