🧠 OpenAI Unveils GPT-4.5 ‘Orion’: Faster, Smarter, More Context-Aware

OpenAI has released GPT-4.5 “Orion,” the most powerful version of its language model to date. It's now available to Pro users and API developers.
Key upgrades include:

  • Faster response times and improved long-form memory handling.

  • Enhanced multilingual fluency across 15+ languages.

  • Stronger logical reasoning and more reliable code generation.

  • Optimized performance for tasks involving multi-step instructions and tool integration.

GPT-4.5 sets a new standard but is more compute-intensive, meaning higher operational costs for enterprise users.

🍏 Apple Delays Full AI-Powered Siri Until 2027

Apple’s grand plan to transform Siri into a true AI assistant is now expected no earlier than iOS 20 (2027).
What’s happening:

  • A limited LLM upgrade will arrive in iOS 18.5, allowing Siri to handle slightly more complex queries.

  • The real AI leap—a fully conversational, context-aware Siri—won’t roll out for years due to development delays, hardware constraints, and internal leadership issues.

  • This slow rollout risks Apple falling behind competitors like Amazon (Alexa’s LLM revamp) and Google (Gemini-powered Assistant).

Why it matters: Despite its hardware dominance, Apple is playing catch-up in the AI assistant arms race.

🌐 Opera’s Operator Browser Can Now Surf the Web For You

Opera just became the first major browser to integrate agentic AI browsing with its launch of Browser Operator—a native AI assistant that can:

  • Visit websites, click links, and extract information for you.

  • Operate directly on your local browser (no cloud dependency), improving privacy and performance.

  • Use the browser’s internal structure (DOM Tree and layout) for precise, context-aware actions.

Why it’s a big deal:
This moves beyond AI chat—Operator is a true autonomous agent, performing real tasks in real time without external tools or scripting.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new trend in real estate is making the most expensive properties obtainable. It’s called co-ownership, and it’s revolutionizing the $1.3T vacation home market.

The company leading the trend? Pacaso. Created by the founder of Zillow, Pacaso turns underutilized luxury properties into fully-managed assets and makes them accessible to the broadest possible market.

The result? More than $1b in transactions, 2,000+ happy homeowners, and over $110m in gross profits for Pacaso.

With rapid international growth and 41% gross profit growth last year, Pacaso is ready for what’s next. They even recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

But the real opportunity is now, before public markets. Until 5/29, you can join leading investors like SoftBank and Maveron for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
