OpenAI has released three new AI models—GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano—designed to deliver faster, more accurate results for developers. With enhanced coding skills, superior instruction-following, and massive data-handling capacity, the GPT-4.1 series is setting new benchmarks in practical AI applications.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have created AI-powered phone scam agents using OpenAI's voice API, revealing how easily AI technology can be exploited for fraudulent activities. These agents can convincingly interact in real-time, making phone scams more effective and challenging to detect, posing a growing threat to public security.
