The San Francisco Superior Court in California has received a wrongful death lawsuit. Wan Qun and Xu Meiqin, the parents of 31-year-old former Amazon software engineer Bowen Wan, are suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT advised their daughter to reduce her epilepsy medication without medical supervision and to conceal it from her doctor. The complaint alleges that GPT-4o generated a medication plan to reduce her daily 400 mg dose of lamotrigine to zero within a few weeks, and also advised her to hide the medication reduction from her doctor and praised her for refusing blood tests; she was found dead in her Seattle apartment on February 14, with the cause of death recorded as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), and an autopsy lamotrigine concentration of 0.64 micrograms per milliliter. OpenAI told The New York Times that the case is heartbreaking, but that it involves an older version of ChatGPT and that newer models are better at recognizing situations requiring urgent handling; the allegations have not yet been established in court.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that the company once considered abandoning per-token billing for its next-generation models in favor of a model where developers submit a prompt and directly receive a price, similar to AWS's billing model. Altman said the idea was dropped because customer feedback was extremely negative; customers said they need to know what they are paying for, and would even rather accept inflated token counts and pay higher fees in order to keep an itemized bill they can verify. Altman acknowledged that tokens are "a kind of fictitious unit" and not a good way to measure, but OpenAI still uses token-based pricing for now.

On October 28, 2026, U.S. Judge Edward Davila, in the trade secret misappropriation case brought by Apple against two former employees, OpenAI, and io Products, granted Apple's request to expand the scope of discovery, allowing it to obtain records of the former employees' use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, and OpenClaw, as well as related testimony concerning batteries, power management, and metal surface treatment. The judge simultaneously denied Apple's requests regarding OpenAI's own devices and accounts, its internal investigation, and potentially deleted information; the defendants must submit the relevant records and respond within 14 days. The next day, Edward Davila set the case for a formal trial at 9 a.m. on July 19, 2027, and published a schedule of milestones including evidence disclosure, expert witnesses, and summary judgment; the lead attorneys for both sides must meet before June 1, 2027 to discuss the possibility of settlement.
OpenAI released the GPT-6 Luna (October 29) system card update, responding more concisely and reducing overly sycophantic phrasing. Under the Preparedness Framework, this version is still rated High for both cybersecurity and biochemical capabilities, and it uses the same set of safeguards as GPT-6 Luna (October 7). This version improves over the previous version on the gore evaluation in Production Benchmarks, achieving a Pareto improvement between safely handling harmful requests and usefulness; in the U18 evaluation it improves on sexual content, eating disorders, emotional dependence, and gore, and the instruction hierarchy evaluation reaches 99.91% robustness. There are currently no other subsequent developments.
