AI in a Nutshell - Week 44 - OpenAI’s Reshuffle, Self-Reflecting Claude, and India’s Free ChatGPT
OpenAI restructures for the AGI finish line, Claude learns to think about its own thoughts, ChatGPT Go goes free in India, and Aardvark fixes bugs.
Fellow human, it’s week 44. AI hasn’t taken over the world yet. And here’s your lazy-man version of what went down in the AI world in the past week.
Summary for extra lazy people: OpenAI restructures for the AGI finish line, Claude learns to think about its own thoughts, ChatGPT Go goes free in India, and Aardvark fixes bugs before devs even notice.
What You Must Know
OpenAI Restructures for AGI Goals → OpenAI is shifting to a for-profit model to pull in more cash, reportedly $1.4 trillion in compute investments over time. Elon Musk probably threw his phone after reading that.
1X Launched Neo: A Humanoid Robot → The robot that learns from humans and aims to replace repetitive labour. I actually thought to order one, but I saw it would take over a year to deliver, so I gave up :)
Sora Video Tool Expands to New Countries → OpenAI opened Sora access in Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam, while removing waitlists in the US, Canada, Japan, and Korea. So, people in those countries can stop using VPN now :)
OpenAI Launches Aardvark, Bug-Fixing AI → Aardvark finds and fixes code security issues automatically. It’s still in private beta, but from what I’ve seen, it might soon be the developer’s quiet best friend (or worst nightmare).
ChatGPT Go Goes Free for India → OpenAI will offer ChatGPT Go free for a year in India starting November 4. Smart move. We can expect massive adoption before everyone has to pay next year :)
What’s Good to Know
Sora Adds Personal Characters → Sora now lets you insert your face and voice into generated videos. Great for content creators, weird for everyone else.
Anthropic’s Claude Shows Self-Reflection → Claude can now detect when someone tries to manipulate its responses and double-check its own reasoning. It’s early-stage “introspection”, meaning the model can notice when it’s being messed with.
Altman Hints at $100B OpenAI Revenue by 2027 → Sam Altman says OpenAI’s revenue is “well above” the reported $13B and could hit $100B in two years. He also pitched OpenAI as an “AI cloud” for agents and automation, in short, AWS with attitude.
Who’s Winning the AI Spending Race → CNBC broke down which companies are winning the AI investment war. TL;DR: Google and Microsoft still dominate, Meta is sprinting, and Amazon is somewhere yelling, “Wait for me!”.
AI Tools Worth Knowing
Browserbase → A web browser built for your AI workflows.
Fish Audio → Voice cloning and text-to-speech with emotion.
ProblemHunt → Curated startup ideas people actually want.
Replymer → Human-like replies that sell your product.
Hakko → AI advisor for PC gamers.
Kaizen Corner → Nvidia’s Big Test
Nvidia’s next earnings report drops on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 (after market close).
If the numbers fall short of what investors expect, it could shake up the hype around AI stocks, making people question if the AI boom is over.
But if Nvidia beats forecasts with strong results, we might see a surge: AI-related stocks could climb fast, and even cryptocurrencies might ride the wave overnight, thanks to the shared excitement around tech and crypto.
Bottom line: This report could fuel more market frenzy. Keep an eye on it.

Meme of the Week
Question → What would you do?
You’re the President of the United States. Every major study screams the same thing → AI will eventually screw humanity.
You have two options:
Pull the brakes → slow down AI research, put strict limits, and hope the rest of the world follows your lead (spoiler: they won’t).
Keep going → push forward because if you don’t, China or Russia will… and then it’s game over anyway.
What would you actually choose, and why?
That’s your week in AI.
If you learned something, tell a friend. And if you didn’t, blame yourself :)
Until next Sunday,
Kay - your fellow human
