OpenAI is reportedly close to launching its new AI tool, Operator, which is designed to autonomously perform tasks on a user's PC. Leaks from software engineer Tibor Blaho suggest that the tool, which can write code and book travel, is set to release in January. While initial performance benchmarks indicate mixed results compared to human capabilities, Operator shows promise in certain areas. OpenAI has also emphasized safety in its development, responding to criticisms over rapid productization. As competition in the AI agent space heats up, the market for these technologies is projected to reach $47.1 billion by 2030.
