They really time releases based on their competition. How many times did this happen with both companies? I've lost count.

They had been keeping this in reserve and decided to release it when Anthropic released Sonnet 4.5. Anime-like tactics.

I feel like this one may backfire though, Anthropic announced a core improvement to their product, OpenAI countered with enshittification to theirs. It only further highlights that OpenAI are running fast and hard towards a future where ChatGPT is a marketing/advertising/etc system just like Google's search has become.

They definitely do, but I think this particular one was a misfire. "We've updated Chat-GPT to help you better connect with #Brands #BrandsULove #adtech" would be eyerolling at the best of times, since it's a nigh-guaranteed signal of incoming enshittification, but positioning it as counterprogramming to Claude Code genuinely becoming more useful just looks pathetic.
