ChatGPT Can Now Make GIFs
PLUS: you can now video-call an AI, and OpenAI’s AI found 81 Firefox flaws
In this SunBrief
Using AI at work in finance? Here's the part nobody talks about.
Getting AI to do the work is the easy bit. Getting it past your auditors is harder. They'll ask three questions:
| 1. | What made this decision, and on what policy? |
| 2. | Can you reproduce it six months from now? |
| 3. | Who approved it before it went live? |
In a free 45-minute webinar, Kognitos Founder and CEO Binny Gill shows how banking and finance teams can answer all three: plain-English policies, human review for edge cases, and records auditors can actually read.

ChatGPT just learned to make GIFs
OpenAI just rolled out Images 2.6 in ChatGPT, and it can now turn your ideas into looping GIFs. What caught my attention was a small trick that saves you from uploading the same photo every time.
- It’s on every plan, including Free. OpenAI says it’s live worldwide in ChatGPT on desktop, mobile and web.
- It makes GIFs you can share. Ask for a looping animation, or upload a sketch and make the character wave.
- It’s 50% faster than before. It also keeps details like a character’s outfit when you change the background.
Why it matters: This is the easiest free way to make a moving post for social media or your business. I’d try the photo trick first, because most people will miss it.

You can now video-call an AI
Meta’s Muse app now lets you talk to its AI on a live call, with an animated face that reacts as you speak. What caught my attention was what Meta suggests using it for.
- It reacts while you’re still talking. The avatar shows expressions, and you can interrupt it at any point.
- It keeps working during the call. Muse can carry on with tasks in the background, and there are hundreds of voices to pick from.
- It’s US only for now. It works on phone, web and Mac, and Meta’s AI glasses are next.
Why it matters: Meta says its own testers preferred these avatars to two well-known rivals. If you’re in the US, I’d try it for the practice idea Meta suggests.

OpenAI’s new AI found 81 flaws in Firefox
OpenAI says its new GPT-6 Cyber model found 81 serious Firefox security flaws that nobody knew about. What caught my attention was how OpenAI rated its own model.
- It also built 948 working Linux exploits. These are attacks that grab more control of a system than a user should have.
- Many of the Firefox flaws are already fixed. OpenAI says the model helped write patches, and Mozilla has released fixes.
- You can’t use it. Only approved security teams get access for now.
Why it matters: If you use Firefox, update it today. And the risk level OpenAI gave its own model says a lot about where AI hacking is heading.

On Our Radar
Last Week’s Poll Result
Have you ever asked an AI chatbot about a health problem?
| Yes, and I trusted the answer | 17.65% |
| Yes, but I checked with a doctor | 61.76% |
| No, I'd see a doctor first | 20.59% |
Reader voice · VESSOT
Selected: Yes, and I trusted the answer
“Diabetic advice for my cat ”
Our take: AI can be a useful starting point, but a veterinarian's guidance remains essential for managing diabetes.
Your turn: Vote and tell us why. We will feature your take next week.
Would you take a buyout if your employer offered one?
| Yes, I'd take the money | 45.83% |
| Only with another job lined up | 50% |
| No, I'd stay put | 4.17% |
Reader voice · GMOLSON
Selected: Only with another job lined up
“It is a brutal job market out there. I might take the money and run for the door if I knew the details.”
Our take: Fair concern. In a difficult job market, the buyout terms and financial security matter as much as the payout.
Reader voice · ENG.M.SORRENTINO
Selected: Yes, I'd take the money
“When a company starts downsizing, it is only a matter of time for it to move from voluntary buyout to redundancies. I'd rather take the money and find a new job than staying and being made redundant soon”
Our take: Understandable. Taking a buyout can offer more control when future layoffs are a possibility.
Your turn: Vote and tell us why. We will feature your take next week.
Would you switch AI tools for the #1 model?
| Yes, I'd try Gemini 4 Carbon first | 27.78% |
| Maybe, after testing it myself | 22.22% |
| No, I'm happy with my current AI | 50% |
We’d love to hear from you!
