76 AI Weekly issues and 71 live stories from the last 30 days mention OpenAI.

468 total mentions 19/20 recent issues +144% vs. baseline peak 18/issue tracked since 2026-03-11

OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5 'Spud' on April 23 with new agentic capabilities and 2× per-token pricing — the first frontier launch in two years to raise price-per-token rather than cut it. The capex story flipped at the same time: a $20B+ chip purchase from Cerebras with an attached equity stake.

The harder coverage in April: Florida's AG opened a criminal investigation over ChatGPT's role in the FSU shooting; the Musk fraud trial heads to a $150B reckoning; and Sam Altman publicly apologized after the Tumbler Ridge tragedy. AI Weekly tracks every release, lawsuit, and pricing change.
