ChatGPT Switches Default Model to GPT-4.1 Mini for All Users, Subscribers Get GPT-4.1
OpenAI has integrated its GPT-4.1 model into ChatGPT, making it available to Plus, Pro, and Team subscribers. The company announced the rollout on social media, highlighting the model's strengths in coding tasks and instruction following. The GPT-4.1 model will also be available to Enterprise and Education users in the coming weeks. Alongside the premium upgrades, OpenAI is replacing GPT-4o mini with GPT-4.1 mini as the default model for all users. This change will affect all users, including those with free accounts, and will also impact the ChatGPT extension for Apple Intelligence. The new models support a one million context token window, which is a significant increase from GPT-4o's 128,000-token limit. OpenAI claims that the speed improvements in GPT-4.1 make it more suitable for everyday coding tasks. The deployment of the new models comes a few weeks after they were released to developers, and they have undergone standard safety evaluations. The integration of GPT-4.1 into ChatGPT is expected to enhance the overall user experience, especially for those who use the platform for coding and instruction-based tasks. Overall, the update is a significant improvement to the ChatGPT platform, and users can expect to see the benefits of the new models in the coming weeks.

👿 MCP is all fun, until you add this one malicious MCP server and forget about it.

We have discovered a critical flaw in the widely-used Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables a new form of LLM attack we term 'Tool Poisoning'.

Leaks SSH key, API keys, etc.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
