OpenAI's New “Operator” Tool Set to Redefine AI Automation in January

OpenAI has announced plans to release “Operator,” an AI tool designed to perform real tasks like booking flights, managing projects, and coding, all with minimal human supervision. CEO Sam Altman hinted during a Reddit AMA that Operator’s launch could be one of AI’s biggest steps forward, allowing agents to move beyond conversational responses to real-world task execution.

Operator enters an increasingly competitive market with similar AI agents by Anthropic, Microsoft, and Google, each racing to bring AI automation tools to users. It’ll be interesting to see how OpenAI differentiates its tool.

BTC on the Rise as GOP Gains Power and Institutional Demand Strengthens

Bitcoin flirted with $91,000, holding strong after hitting a record high of $93,445 on Wednesday. The rise is fueled by Bitcoin ETFs, which attracted another $510 million in inflows, totaling $4.7 billion over the last six days. Analysts suggest that this rally is primarily spot-driven, with demand outpacing selling pressure from long-term holders.

In political news, the GOP now controls the U.S. House, Senate, and presidency, bringing new momentum to crypto legislation. Meanwhile, a Sygnum survey of institutional investors found that 57% plan to increase their crypto exposure, signaling long-term confidence and potential growth in digital assets.
