Wow, what a crazy week in AI… This reminds me of a saying I heard a while back: if you’re not moving forward, you’re not just standing still but moving backwards whilst the world zooms by.
Between the $500 billion Stargate project, OpenAI operator, DeepSeek-R1 and Pika 2.1, to name a few, we are well and truly living in disruptive times.
Let’s start with OpenAI’s Operator; this feature is currently in beta for US users of the Pro plan and enables ChatGPT to browse the web and perform actions on your behalf autonomously.

What is exciting is that this enables AI to do research, perform data entry, and make decisions based on what is happening in the flow without being hard-programmed in code.
For example, if you ask it to book a flight, it will research flight availability and prices by checking different permutations. If it encounters a problem, it may use a different booking provider or ask you to confirm whether the flights selected meet your needs.
This is a promising first step towards ChatGPT: one day, you can take control of your computer and take action on your software to achieve tasks.
Next, we have DeepSeek-R1…
Imagine this… The reasoning power of OpenAI’s flagship o1 model, which is 30X cheaper, open source, and that you can run on your desktop computer offline… It’s insane.

What makes this a game-changer is that you can run it privately on the computer you have right now, with no need for internet access or expensive API fees. Plus, your data remains private at all times.
To start, download LMStudio or Ollama on your Mac or computer and select one of the distilled DeepSeek-R1 models. Then, you can play with this super-smart AI model.
Lastly, we have Pika 2.1, which lets you create realistic videos with character consistency using its ingredients feature. What used to cost millions in video production and editing is now accessible with a few clicks.

This type of technology will help creators and entrepreneurs create epic, engaging content at a fraction of the time and price a pro studio would cost.
That’s it for today. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends and network so they can 10X their marketing today.
