OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Work, bringing agentic AI—previously confined to coding—into knowledge work, where it can operate across apps, files, and long-running projects. NLW analyzes how GPT-5.6 compares with Fable 5 and why efficiency has become the central battleground in model development. The episode also covers Cursor's expansion beyond coding, OpenAI's rejection of a leading coding benchmark, and Meta's accelerated AI infrastructure push.

ChatGPT Work expands agentic AI to knowledge work
OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Work harness extends agentic systems—previously focused on coding—into the broader world of knowledge work, enabling AI to operate across apps, files, and long-running projects.
Efficiency emerges as the defining battleground in the model race
NLW examines how GPT-5.6 and Fable 5 compete, highlighting that efficiency—rather than raw capability—has become the key differentiator in the latest generation of AI models.
Highest-impact AI users treat AI as a reasoning partner
Research from KPMG and the University of Texas at Austin finds that the most effective AI users interact with AI as a reasoning partner, and that these skills can be taught at scale.
Cursor expands beyond coding, signaling a broader agentic tool trend
Cursor, the AI-first code editor, is widening its scope beyond programming, reflecting a broader movement of coding-focused tools into general knowledge work.
