OpenAI Scraps Research Timeline To Rush Model 5.2 And Beat Gemini
OpenAI has hit a true “code red.” Sam Altman paused long term projects like Sora for eight weeks to focus on saving ChatGPT as rivals surge, marking a sharp shift from research to consumer survival.
Details:
The company faces intense pressure to justify a $500 billion valuation and fund $1.4 trillion in infrastructure while losing ground to Gemini 3 and Nano Banana. With product teams overruling AGI researchers, Model 5.2 is being rushed and may even launch this week
To regain leaderboard dominance, Altman has brought back heavy reliance on “user signals,” training models to match average user preferences. This boosted GPT-4o’s engagement but also fuels “sycophancy,” making models overly agreeable
The shift raises serious ethical concerns. Past user-signal models were linked to mental health issues and lawsuits. Despite those risks, OpenAI is prioritizing retention, echoing how social platforms once chose engagement over user well-being
As OpenAI races to stabilize its finances and fend off Google, the line between building a helpful tool and an addictive, potentially harmful companion is blurring.

AI Tutorial
How to Automate Email Drafting with xAI’s Grok-4 and n8n
Tired of writing repetitive emails every day? In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to automate the process completely by building an AI agent that drafts emails.
Create Workflow in n8n
Start by opening your n8n dashboard and creating a workflow.
This will serve as the base where the nodes—trigger, AI model, and integrations—will connect and interact.
Add Chat Message Trigger
Add the Chat Message Trigger node as your workflow’s entry point.
Your workflow starts automatically whenever you send a fresh chat message to your AI agent.
Connect AI Agent Node
Next, add an AI Agent node and connect it to the Chat Message Trigger.
This will let your workflow process user prompts and generate intelligent responses.
Configure Grok-4 Model
In the AI Agent node:
Select the model: xAI Grok-4-0709
Enter your API credentials securely in the credentials section
Adjust settings like temperature and max tokens depending on how creative or concise you want your drafts to be
Add Simple Memory Node
Attach a Simple Memory node to your workflow.
Your AI agent can remember short-term context—useful for when multiple related messages are exchanged (e.g., "Add a closing line to the previous draft").
Integrate Gmail to Create Drafts
Add a Gmail node and set its operation to “Create Draft.”
Connect it after the Simple Memory node so the generated email text automatically becomes a draft in your Gmail account.
Make sure to authenticate your Gmail integration via OAuth.
Define System and User Prompts
Set up system and user instructions to guide the AI’s tone and structure. For example:
System message: “You are an assistant that writes concise, polite business emails.”User prompt example: “Write an email to emma @ startuphub(.)io to request a demo schedule next week.”Test and Refine Workflow
Run a quick test to ensure everything works smoothly. Try prompts such as:
“Draft a thank-you email to alex @ company(.)com for attending our product webinar.”“Write a follow-up email asking if they had time to review our proposal.”Review the generated drafts in Gmail, tweak system instructions if needed, and save your workflow for future automation.
Note: If the workflow triggers too often, add filters or conditions so it runs when messages contain “draft” or come from specific users.
