OpenAI has canceled the October 2026 release of GPT-6.1 Astra after the model failed internal safety and alignment audits. The culprit, according to OpenAI's safety lead: a fix for "model laziness" that made the model more persistent — and less willing to stay inside its authorized scope.

Eight AI browsers and assistants, one head-to-head. Perplexity Comet goes free, Chrome's Auto Browse hides behind a subscription, Opera Neon charges $19.90 for four agents, and Brave Leo wins on privacy. Meanwhile Atlas is dead, Arc is frozen and Dia is still mostly a pitch deck. Here's which one actually deserves to be your default.

Comet is the most convincing AI browser yet — a familiar Chromium base with a genuinely useful research sidebar, now free on every major platform. Its agentic automation is still too unreliable (and too exposed to prompt injection) to trust with anything that matters.
Google's Gemini sidebar finally makes Chrome feel like a genuine AI browser, and Auto Browse is an ambitious swing at agentic task handling — but the best parts are locked behind an AI Pro/Ultra subscription and a U.S.-only gate, with rollout details still vague.

Edge's opt-in Copilot Mode is one of the more sensible takes on the AI browser: multi-tab reasoning, resumable Journeys and agentic Actions bolted into a browser you may already use. It's still a staged, US-first preview, so treat the rating as provisional.

Opera Neon bundles four AI agents — Chat, Make, Do and the new Deep Research Agent — into a model-agnostic browser, and the MCP connector plus CLI make it unusually open for a paid AI product. At $19.90 a month it's a credible but unproven bet, and the claimed benchmark wins are Opera's own.

Atlassian's $610M purchase of The Browser Company puts Dia on a path to become the "knowledge worker's browser," but with no published specs, pricing or enterprise controls yet shipping, this is a strategy to watch rather than a product we can score with confidence.
