OpenAI accelerates push for about $30 billion in financing
OpenAI is accelerating its push for about $30 billion in financing. According to Reuters, OpenAI is aiming to complete this funding round at a valuation of more than $1.4 trillion before Anthropic goes public, a valuation at least 64% higher than the $852 billion it reached in March. OpenAI hopes to lock in commitments before Anthropic files its S-1 and lists in mid-November, so as to avoid a direct comparison. Subsequent reports said existing investors such as SoftBank and Abu Dhabi's MGX are in talks to participate; OpenAI told investors that growth accelerated after the release of GPT-6 Astra, with annualized revenue already reaching $50 billion and expected to rise to $70 billion by the end of the year. The financing is still in progress.

OpenAI launches locked chats feature for ChatGPT
OpenAI launches a locked chats feature for ChatGPT. According to the official description, this feature moves conversations out of regular history and search and into a protected space; on web and desktop it is unlocked with a PIN, and on supported mobile devices it can be unlocked with a PIN, Face ID, Touch ID, or device unlock; new messages in locked conversations do not update the memory used by regular conversations. The feature is rolling out starting October 21, 2026, to the Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Follow-up reports add that after users set a 4-digit PIN, they can hide designated conversations from the history list, pinned section, and ordinary search results, tucking them into a "Locked chats" section in the sidebar, covering web, iOS, Android, and the new macOS and Windows desktop apps; locking does not provide end-to-end encryption, nor does it change data retention and model improvement settings, and locked chats may still draw on memory already saved in regular chats; forgetting the PIN itself does not delete chats, but choosing to reset the PIN and confirming will permanently delete all locked chats in the account, memories saved only in locked chats, and files protected only by the old PIN, with no way to recover them.

Altman tells OpenAI employees they must choose a safety endgame within one year
According to The Information, Sam Altman told OpenAI employees that the company must decide within the next year which of three safety endgame paths to pursue. The report says the path he favors is to establish an international agency modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency; this idea can be traced back to a proposal he put forward together with Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever in May 2023, under which the agency could inspect systems, require audits, and track compute and energy use. No subsequent developments have been disclosed.

OpenAI says latest model improves capabilities in low-resource programming languages
On October 20, 2026, OpenAI said its latest model has enhanced software building and migration capabilities in low-resource programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. OpenAI said these languages underpin systems that banks, governments, and enterprises rely on, and that the progress means the model can understand decades of business logic, helping developers modernize systems without breaking the parts that already work. OpenAI also said it is building these capabilities around the challenges raised by developers and enterprise customers, and is soliciting team feedback on which languages and workflows to address next. On the same day, another report said OpenAI released a programming model, GPT-6 Astra, for legacy programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic, and said the model has been made available to developers through the OpenAI API for programming tasks in COBOL, Fortran, OCam, and Visual Basic; the report also provided score data for two evaluations, MultiLangBench and COBOL migration. The above evaluation figures come from that media report; OpenAI's official statement did not mention specific model names or scores.
