    OpenAI says GPT-Rosalind proposes new leads for neurodegenerative disease drug discovery

    On October 21, 2026, OpenAI said that GPT-Rosalind proposed new leads in drug discovery: after the DCTN1 gene associated with Perry syndrome was disrupted, the expression of genes related to cholesterol synthesis increased in mouse brain data, and the model inferred from this that cholesterol may not reach the locations neurons require. OpenAI said that, in collaboration with Perturb Bio and Scripps Research, thousands of GPT-Rosalind agents worked in parallel to link gene expression results from millions of mouse brain cells with scientific literature within 32 minutes, and said it is expanding this collaboration to find new drug targets. Other reports said that the work aggregated the reports of individual agents into a public reasoning graph, and that a companion preprint was released on bioRxiv on October 16, 2026, and has not yet undergone peer review.

    OpenAI accelerates push for about $30 billion in financing

    OpenAI is accelerating its push for about $30 billion in financing. According to Reuters, OpenAI is aiming to complete this funding round at a valuation of more than $1.4 trillion before Anthropic goes public, a valuation at least 64% higher than the $852 billion it reached in March. OpenAI hopes to lock in commitments before Anthropic files its S-1 and lists in mid-November, so as to avoid a direct comparison. Subsequent reports said existing investors such as SoftBank and Abu Dhabi's MGX are in talks to participate; OpenAI told investors that growth accelerated after the release of GPT-6 Astra, with annualized revenue already reaching $50 billion and expected to rise to $70 billion by the end of the year. The financing is still in progress.

    OpenAI launches locked chats feature for ChatGPT

    OpenAI launches a locked chats feature for ChatGPT. According to the official description, this feature moves conversations out of regular history and search and into a protected space; on web and desktop it is unlocked with a PIN, and on supported mobile devices it can be unlocked with a PIN, Face ID, Touch ID, or device unlock; new messages in locked conversations do not update the memory used by regular conversations. The feature is rolling out starting October 21, 2026, to the Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Follow-up reports add that after users set a 4-digit PIN, they can hide designated conversations from the history list, pinned section, and ordinary search results, tucking them into a "Locked chats" section in the sidebar, covering web, iOS, Android, and the new macOS and Windows desktop apps; locking does not provide end-to-end encryption, nor does it change data retention and model improvement settings, and locked chats may still draw on memory already saved in regular chats; forgetting the PIN itself does not delete chats, but choosing to reset the PIN and confirming will permanently delete all locked chats in the account, memories saved only in locked chats, and files protected only by the old PIN, with no way to recover them.

    Altman tells OpenAI employees they must choose a safety endgame within one year

    According to The Information, Sam Altman told OpenAI employees that the company must decide within the next year which of three safety endgame paths to pursue. The report says the path he favors is to establish an international agency modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency; this idea can be traced back to a proposal he put forward together with Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever in May 2023, under which the agency could inspect systems, require audits, and track compute and energy use. No subsequent developments have been disclosed.
