Stop making AI decisions in the dark. Understand AI usage.
Leadership is asking: are we getting value from AI? Which tools are worth the spend? Where are we exposed? Right now, most teams have no idea.
Harmonic Security Usage Explorer changes that. It automatically classifies every AI interaction across your organization into the use cases driving real work, specific to your business. Not generic categories. Not raw prompts. Actual patterns to understand: how your teams are using AI, how much time they spend in AI, the cost, and where risk lives.
CIOs get the data to rationalize spend and cut wasted licenses. CISOs get risk in context. AI committees get proof of impact.
Early access is now open to a limited number of organizations. Request your spot.

OPENAI
OpenAI has launched GPT-5.5 Instant, a new default ChatGPT model focused on faster responses, stronger reasoning, and lower hallucination rates.
The Details:
GPT-5.5 Instant officially replaces GPT-5.3 Instant as the default model inside ChatGPT
OpenAI says the model is more reliable in sensitive areas like law, medicine, and finance while keeping low latency
Scored 81.2 on AIME 2025, a major jump from 65.4 on GPT-5.3 Instant. Improved multimodal reasoning with a 76 score on MMMU-Pro, up from 69.2 previously
New context management system can reference past conversations, uploaded files, and Gmail for personalized responses
Users can now see memory sources across models and remove outdated or incorrect references
Shared chats will not expose personal memory sources or connected context. Rolling out first to Plus and Pro users on web, with mobile and broader access coming soon
Available for developers through API as βchat-latestβ, while GPT-5.3 will remain accessible for paid users for 3 months
Why it matters:
This pushes ChatGPT closer to becoming a persistent personal assistant instead of a stateless chatbot. Better memory, context awareness, and reliability make it more useful for real daily work, not just one-off prompts.
