Ars does not accept paid editorial content. ASPEN, Colo.—There's a lot riding on Audi's next Q5.

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced that o3-pro, a new version of its most capable simulated reasoning model, is now available to ChatGPT Pro and Team users, replacing o1-pro in the model picker. The company also reduced API pricing for o3-pro by 87 percent compared to o1-pro while cutting o3 prices by 80 percent.

Musk’s threat to sue firms that don’t buy ads on X seems to have paid off

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-06 10:00:48

Elon Musk's strategy of suing or threatening to sue companies that don't buy advertising on X has reportedly paid off in at least a few cases. A Wall Street Journal report yesterday said that Verizon and other companies started advertising on X after lawsuit threats. X sued some advertisers last year over what it claims is an illegal boycott and reportedly threatened to add other companies to the lawsuit if they didn't buy ads. The WSJ article said that Verizon, which hadn't advertised on X sin

When she decided to stop taking them last year, Sharf says she wasn’t sure how to do it safely.

In fact, Minor has not only figured out how to play (certain) video games. He’s trying to build a career with a singular goal: to make it so blind people can play any game they want. To the outsider, this sounds nonsensical. The “video” part of “video game” comes from the Latin for “see.” Isn’t it a bit unreasonable, expecting such a visual medium to be made blind-accessible?
