OpenAI reported a 18% quarter-on-quarter rise in revenue to $6.7 billion, up from $5.7 billion in the prior quarter, though its operating loss widened further, disappointing some shareholders ahead of its IPO. Its competitor Anthropic saw revenue more than double to $11.6 billion during the same period, achieving a small operating profit and overtaking OpenAI for the first time as AI competition intensifies. The shifting market landscape (slowing ChatGPT growth and Claude Code’s success) has forced OpenAI to reorganize its leadership, with several key executives leaving recently. Though growth has picked up slightly since new model launches in July, the company still needs to reduce losses and catch up with Anthropic’s profitability pace.

OpenAI announced significant price cuts for its GPT-5.6 series on July 31, slashing the lightweight Luna model by 80% to 0.2 USD per million input tokens and 1.2 USD for output. The balanced Terra model was reduced by 20%, while flagship Sol remained unchanged. The move responds to persistent low-price strategies from Chinese models like DeepSeek V4, which have lured small developers. Post-cut, Luna now offers superior cost-effectiveness over DeepSeek V4 Pro according to Artificial Analysis.

NVIDIA Research releases Lyra2.0 on Hugging Face, an AI framework that generates persistent, explorable 3D worlds from a single image. It tackles spatial forgetting and temporal drift issues, enabling long, consistent video sequences for real-time rendering, robot simulation, and asset creation in game engines. The open-source model is available for commercial use.
