OpenAI has made outbound SIP phone calling generally available for GPT-Live, letting any organization's backend dial phone numbers through a SIP trunking provider without requiring an incoming-call webhook. Developers configure a SIP trunk pointing to OpenAI's endpoint and create a session to place calls, with TLS for signaling and SRTP mandated for call audio.
A proposed class action filed September 16, 2026 alleges OpenAI ran an undisclosed program called 'Project Lily' in which outside contractors read, summarized and graded real ChatGPT conversations without disclosing this in its terms or privacy policy. The suit covers U.S. ChatGPT Plus users, with California and paid-subscriber subclasses, and excludes Enterprise, Business, Team, Edu and API customers. OpenAI was served September 21 and its response is due October 13, 2026; no class has been certified and there is nothing to claim yet.
A 404 Media investigation reveals OpenAI runs an internal effort called Project Lily, employing hundreds of contractors paid roughly $50 an hour to read anonymized ChatGPT conversations and rate the quality of the bot's answers. Reviewers check for issues like overly robotic phrasing, sycophancy, and improper anthropomorphizing, following guidelines described as inconsistent and frequently changing.
Oracle has requested proposals for 2 gigawatts of renewable energy in New Mexico as it faces local protests and legal challenges over the $165 billion Project Jupiter data center it's building with OpenAI in Santa Teresa.
