Maybe that’s what enables them to launch products like the 25kg , 4 foot tall robot that does backflips for $5900.

One looming thought in my brain though: in the past few weeks Chinese model companies have been ripping with the launch of Kimi K2, Qwen3 and Z AI’s GLM. I doubt that their researchers are paid anywhere close to the sums we hear about in the Bay Area.

Meta and Zuck offering $1B dollars to researchers in Thinking Machines labs might be the peak of the tech compensation bubble we’re experiencing in AI.

👉 **What’s next** • Earlier agent projects will likely sunset with this launch. • Browser‑based automation, AI browsers, and ChatGPT Agent are on a collision course. Rough edges remain, but the direction is crystal clear. Exciting times to be alive!.

**Why this matters** Instead of choosing between thinking or doing, the new architecture fluidly transitions between deep research and concrete action within one conversation. Today tackles hour‑long workflows. By late 2025,some forecasts hint at agents owning week‑long projects.

• **ChatGPT Agent** (Jul ’25) – *Hands + Brain*: digs for insights *and* acts on them - building slide decks or spreadsheets in the same run, then thinking some more and taking new actions.

• **Operator** (Jan ’25)–*Hands first*: a browser‑native helper that literally clicks & types for you, powered by the Computer‑Using Agent model. • **Deep Research** (Feb’25)–*Brain first*: runs multi‑step web investigations and delivers analyst‑level briefs with citations.

🚀 OpenAI just launched **ChatGPT Agent** on 17 Jul ’25 - a multimodal agent that can control your computer: browse, code, build reports and iterate. 🔎 OpenAI’s agent evolution:.

The broader team frequently gets left behind with less favourable terms. This isn't just about one deal. It's a systemic issue where well-intentioned regulatory frameworks produce unintended consequences that may accelerate the concentration of power and talent among a select few.

The irony is striking:regulations designed to prevent monopolies and reduce market concentration are inadvertently creating the opposite effect through "reverse-acquisitions." The founders, key investors, and top-tier talent typically secure favourable outcomes and soft landings.

Reflecting on the Windsurf acquisition aftermath. While most of the team appears to have landed safely in new roles, it highlights a troubling pattern in how these tech acquisitions are playing out.
