With Black Friday around the corner, OpenAI is upgrading ChatGPT’s shopping capabilities just in time to make spending your money even easier. Starting today, the company has begun rolling out shopping research, a new feature inside of ChatGPT designed to simplify the process of comparing different products.

The tool is available to all ChatGPT users, including those with free accounts, with the company offering nearly unlimited usage through the holidays. As long as you’re logged into your OpenAI account, you can try out the new experience by selecting ”Shopping research” from the + menu. ChatGPT will also automatically route prompts it determines would be best served by the new model OpenAI has trained to answer commerce-related questions. For instance, if you type, ”find the quietest cordless stick vacuum for a small apartment,” ChatGPT will know what to do.

The island – better known for dairy farms, ski resorts, and summer flower fields – is now home to one of the world’s most ambitious chip-building efforts: Rapidus, a government-backed foundry venture aiming to produce 2-nanometer logic chips at scale.

The political and financial stakes are unusually high. Tokyo has committed roughly $12 billion to Rapidus so far, on top of tens of billions of dollars in broader semiconductor subsidies, with additional support from domestic heavyweights including Toyota, SoftBank, and Sony.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.personally directed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update its website to contradict its longtime guidance that vaccines don’t cause autism, he told The New York Times in an interview published Friday.

Kennedy, a longtime vaccine critic, has upended the public health agencies he oversees and pushed for and enacted changes that have unsettled much of the medical community, which sees his policies as harmful for Americans.

Spotify hasn’t paid Apple a dime in fees since 2018, but a new lawsuit in France with the EU-dominant music streaming service at its center is challenging the payment rules that help power Apple’s App Store.

Apple is facing a representative action from French consumer group Consommation, Logement et Cadre de Vie (CLCV) over higher prices paid by users who subscribed to music services through the App Store. The claim argues that people who signed up on an iPhone or iPad paid about $1 to $3 more per month than if they had subscribed on the web.
