FULL STORY
======================================================================

Well, in true OpenAI fashion, the AI giant is teasing something big.  At 
first, there was a pretty cryptic video teasing a livestream for later today 
that was posted on X (formerly Twitter) and then a follow-up post that shed a 
bit more light. 

OpenAI is promising to spill the beans soon, though. With a livestream 
kicking off at 10AM PT, 1PM ET, and 6PM BST, we'll embed the watch link as 
soon as it's live below, and TechRadar will bring you the news as it breaks. 

So what can we expect? Well, the rumors are flying high as OpenAI could show 
off GPT-5, a new version of Operator, and even an AI-powered browser has been 
teased. 

The video shown, which ends with a note of the live stream, has a mouse 
cursor moving between five teams, and the follow-up post reads "ChatGPT  Deep 
research  Operator." Certainly, that checks off the boxes for OpenAI's main 
products, so this will be big. 

Let's kick things off with the teasers that OpenAI posted on X this AM, and a 
reminder we're about 45 minutes away from the livestream starting. ChatGPT

Theres a lot of speculation about what OpenAI will be announcing today, after 
a mysterious video on its X.com feed: pic.twitter.com/Q4hAihIPrL July 16,

However, an hour ago it posted again with this update: ChatGPT  Deep research 
 OperatorLivestream in 3 hours. July 17, 2025 

Which contains the words: ChatGPT / Deep research / Operator. Livestream in 3 
hours. There are handshake icons between each of the three words, indicating 
that the systems are talking to each other in some way.

So what happens when ChatGPT talks to Deep research, which talks to Operator? 
Some have speculated that OpenAI are about to release a new browser with 
agentic properties. 

The timing would be interesting, since the new Perplexity browser called 
Comet has just been released and we were certainly impressed with our first 
look.  John-Anthony Disotto commented: In an age where we are constantly 
seeking innovations to transform our lives, its become increasingly common 
for products and software to not live up to their billing. Comet might still 
have its quirks, like issues related to some prompts crashing when the AI 
meets a hurdle, but initial impressions leave me yearning for more. I didnt 
understand the point of an AI web browser, but after 48 hours with Comet, Im 
convinced that having a smart assistant built into your internet experience 
will transform our lives forever. Live stream description offers some 
clues... 

The YouTube page for the live stream of the OpenAI announcement has offered 
some clues as to what we might be about to get. 

In the description for the live stream it says: "Join Sam Altman, Casey Chu, 
Isa Fulford, Yash Kumar, and Zhiqing Sun as they introduce our unified 
agentic model in ChatGPT."

So, what does a "unified agent model in ChatGPT" mean? It could be a new 
ChatGPT model that will decide for you which tool would best suit your query. 
So, instead of you selecting more powerful LLM it would decide if what you're 
asking is complex enough to deserve a more powerful reasoning model, or deep 
research tool, or if you would be better off with a more lightweight model. 

Interesting times!
