The AI Daily: OpenAI just released two new AI models, o3 and o4-mini, that can now see and work with images as part of their thinking process. These models can not only look at picturesâthey can change them too.
Key notes:
They can crop, zoom, and rotate images without needing extra tools.
o3 scored 95.7% on a top visual test, beating earlier models by a lot.
ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users can use them now; Enterprise and Edu users will get them next week.
Both models work well with tools like Python, web search, and image generation.
A more advanced o3-pro version is coming soon with full tool support.
Why it matters: This is a big step in how AI understands images. These new models donât just look at picturesâthey actually reason with them. That means they can now solve harder problems like reading handwritten notes, analyzing charts, or solving math problems that need both words and pictures.

The AI Daily: OpenAI has introduced Codex CLI, a new open-source tool that brings their most advanced reasoning models directly to your terminal. This coding agent can read, modify, and run code on your local machine while keeping your source code private and secure.
Key notes:
Easy to install using "npm install -g @openai/codex" and authenticate with your API key.
Choose how much control you want: Suggest mode for safe previews, Auto Edit for smart file changes, or Full Auto for hands-free operation.
Uses o4-mini by default for fast results but supports other models like o3.
Works on macOS and Linux; Windows support is still being tested.
Your code stays localâonly your prompts and high-level context are sent to OpenAI.
Why it matters: Codex CLI is a big step forward in AI coding tools. It gives developers the power of AI while keeping their code private and secure. With flexible automation and local control, it could convince more people to trust and use AI assistants for real coding work.
AI BREAKTHROUGHS

The AI Daily: OpenAI is in talks to acquire AI coding assistant Windsurf (formerly Codeium) for approximately $3 billion, according to sources close to the negotiations. If the deal goes through, it would be OpenAIâs biggest purchase yet and would boost its spot in the fast-growing world of AI coding tools.
Key notes:
The deal would help OpenAI compete with Anthropic, GitHub, and Anysphere.
Windsurf's AI can write code based on natural language prompts.
The deal hasn't been finalized and could still change.
AI tools that help write code are becoming very popular with developers.
This would be much bigger than OpenAIâs past buys like Rockset and Multi.
Why it matters: With more companies racing to build better AI tools for developers, OpenAI is looking to grow fast. Instead of starting from scratch, buying Windsurf could give OpenAI advanced coding tech and experts right awayâhelping it stay ahead of the competition.
