OpenAI
OpenAI has unveiled a rebrand that brings changes to its logo, typeface, and color palette. It is the company’s first rebrand since it became notable in 2022 with the popularity of its ChatGPT chatbot.
OpenAI, Head of Design Veit Moeller, and Design Director Shannon Jager spoke with Wallpaper about the rebrand changes noting that the company aimed to create a “more organic and more human” image visual identity. This included collaborating with outside partners to develop a new typeface, OpenAI Sans that is unique to the brand, a look that “blends geometric precision and functionality with a rounded, approachable character.”
Thoughts on the "refreshed" @OpenAI brand & design language?
To me it just looks like they formalized what they already have been using, along with a new font… pic.twitter.com/uTyaGXR0pk

Additionally, the in-house design team made updates to OpenAI’s well-known blossom logo or ‘research icon.’ OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Ilya Sutskever created the original OpenAI blossom logo. Moeller and Jager’s updated figure has a larger center space and sharper, more prominent edges.
When asked whether AI was used within the development of the rebranding process, Moeller told Wallpaper that ChatGPT assisted in calculating different type weights, otherwise, all of the designs were developed in a traditional fashion.
The rebrand will be visible on OpenAI.com, as well as on all forms of ChatGPT.
The rebrand comes during a time when OpenAI is in a state of flux, with heavy competition from the Chinese open-source AI brand DeepSeek, having recently confirmed a financial deal with Softbank, and legal troubles with Elon Musk. However, Moeller insists that plans for the change have been in the works for some time. “Sam [Altman] asked us to look at the identity just over a year ago,” he told the publication.
While the design team spoke about their hope for OpenAI’s products to assist human creativity, not replace it, Jager noted that the massive tech brand blossomed out of what was intended to be a limited release.
“ChatGPT was never meant to be a product. When it was initially released as a research experiment in 2022 it gained a million users in five days,” Jager said.

The overall intent of the model is to perform as well as a large language model in a lightweight form.

ChatGPT just dipped its toes into the world of AI agents
OpenAI appears to be just throwing spaghetti at this point, hoping it sticks to a profitable idea. The company announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out a new feature called ChatGPT Tasks to subscribers of its paid tier that will allow users to set individual and recurring reminders through the ChatGPT interface.
Tasks does exactly what it sounds like it does: It allows you to ask ChatGPT to do a specific action at some point in the future. That could be assembling a weekly news brief every Friday afternoon, telling you what the weather will be like in New York City tomorrow morning at 9 a.m., or reminding you to renew your passport before January 20. ChatGPT will also send a push notification with relevant details. To use it, you'll need to select "4o with scheduled tasks" from the model picker menu, then tell the AI what you want it to do and when.

Sam Altman makes more big promises about AGI
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman published a blog post on Monday, musing about the history and future direction of the company. In it, he confidently states that his company knows “how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it," and that it is now working toward a "glorious future" of artificial super-intelligence. Altman also revealed Monday that OpenAI's $200-per-month Pro subscription is somehow losing the company money.
"We love our current products, but we are here for the glorious future," Altman wrote Monday. "Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn massively increase abundance and prosperity.”
