🚨ChatGPT Agent Breaks Through the “I’m Not a Robot” Test

Along with: Meta’s Plan to Build Personal Superintelligence

Hey there đź‘‹

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent just breezed through the “I’m not a robot” CAPTCHA. Yep, that annoying pop-up we all deal with when trying to sign up for something or log in. But this time, it wasn’t a human doing the clicking. It was AI, and it did it without breaking a sweat.

Captured in a Reddit post, the AI clicked the “I’m not a robot” box, like it was a checkbox on a to-do list. No second-guessing, no struggle, just a simple click and it moved on to the next task.

If an AI can bypass something so simple, what does that say about the future of bot-proofing? And more importantly, is this the beginning of a world where AI doesn’t just talk to us but becomes us? This isn’t just a little win for AI, it’s a game-changer for how we think about security, bots, and AI’s role in our digital lives.

What would be the format? Every week, we will break the newsletter into the following sections:

  • The Input - All about recent developments in AI

In a note posted July 30, Mark Zuckerberg laid out Meta’s north star: building personal superintelligence- not centralized systems replacing human effort, but AI that deeply understands individuals and helps them live better, more creative lives.

What’s Happening:

Meta believes we’re now seeing the first signs of AI improving itself. That path, while early, points toward developing true superintelligence within this decade. While others aim to use it to automate all work and redistribute the output, Meta is going in the opposite direction: personal AI designed to amplify human agency, not replace it.

This shift echoes past tech revolutions- from the farming era to the knowledge economy- each one freeing people to pursue more of what matters. Meta sees superintelligence as the next leap in that arc: a tool that helps you reach your goals, unlock your creativity, deepen relationships, and grow as a person.

They’re betting on AI that runs on devices like glasses, tuned to your context and preferences, helping you throughout the day- not buried inside productivity dashboards or hidden in enterprise backends.

Why It Matters:

Meta’s play is clear: personal AI > centralized AI. Superintelligence, if trends continue, won’t just change how we work- it’ll change how we live. But it comes with real safety challenges, and Meta says it will stay cautious on open-sourcing while still pushing to share the benefits broadly.

The next few years are critical. The question isn’t just how powerful these systems become- but who they serve, and who gets to direct them. Meta’s answer: you should. (source)

🧠 Qwen3-235B-Thinking-2507: Alibaba’s Best Reasoning Model Yet

Alibaba just dropped Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507, their strongest open-source model built exclusively for deep reasoning- no manual toggle needed. It’s optimized for logic, math, science, and code, and handles extended reasoning chains out of the box.

What’s New:

  • SOTA reasoning across logic-heavy tasks and academic benchmarks

  • 256K native context, extensible to 1M tokens for long-form analysis

  • Tool use, instruction following, and alignment all see major gains

  • Dual lineup:

    • Qwen3-Instruct-2507 for general tasks, open-ended prompts, multilingual alignment

    • Qwen3-Thinking-2507 for expert-level reasoning and precision

Models are live on Hugging Face and ModelScope, with API docs on Alibaba Cloud.

Why It Matters:

With Qwen3-2507, Alibaba is doubling down on specialization. Instead of hybrid multitaskers, they’ve split the family into pure Instruct and Thinking tracks- each tuned for what it does best. The result: state-of-the-art reasoning in open source, now ready to run. (source)

Zhipu AI just unveiled GLM-4.5 and GLM-4.5-Air, two new flagship models aimed at unifying reasoning, coding, and agentic abilities. Built with 355B and 106B total parameters respectively, both models support hybrid modes (thinking + instant response), long contexts (128K–1M tokens), and come optimized for tool use, autonomy, and full-stack dev.

What’s New:

  • Top-tier agent performance: Matches Claude 4 Sonnet on function-calling benchmarks (Ď„-bench, BFCL-v3); leads BrowseComp with 26.4% browsing accuracy.

  • Agentic coding: 53.9% win rate vs. Kimi K2, 80.8% vs. Qwen3-Coder across 52 dev tasks. Highest tool-call success at 90.6%.

  • Artifacts & apps: Generates everything from web UIs to simulations to full-stack sites using only natural language prompts.

  • Open weights & API: Available on Z.ai, Hugging Face, and ModelScope. Full API at Z.ai Docs.

  • New RL engine – slime: A custom infrastructure for fast, asynchronous agentic training- boosting reasoning, tool use, and autonomy through self-play and human-in-the-loop learning.

GLM-4.5 aims to solve a long-standing problem in the LLM space: fragmented strengths. Instead of building one model for math, another for code, and another for tools, Zhipu’s pushing toward a unified agent-class model- capable across tasks, languages, and long contexts. With open access, fine-tuning support, and production-ready APIs, it’s shaping up to be one of the most capable open models for reasoning and agentic workflows today. (source)

Google is rolling out Video Overviews in NotebookLM, its AI-powered research and note-taking assistant. The new feature transforms raw notes, PDFs, and images into visual explainer videos- adding a visual layer to the existing Audio Overviews, which generate podcast-style summaries using AI hosts.

What’s New:

  • Video Overviews auto-generate visuals using diagrams, quotes, numbers, and uploaded content to explain dense material.

  • Users can customize outputs by learning goals, audience, or specific questions.

  • Ideal for explaining data, complex processes, or abstract ideas.

  • Now live in English, with more languages on the way.

Google also updated the Studio panel, adding one-click access to Audio, Video, Mind Maps, and Reports, plus support for storing multiple outputs in a single notebook. Users can now multitask- like listening to an Audio Overview while navigating a Study Guide. (source)

We’ve got another model pushing boundaries- Ideogram Character, the first character consistency model that works with just one reference image. It’s now free for all users.

What’s New:

Upload a selfie or any character image, type a prompt, and get consistent results across styles, scenes, lighting, and expressions. The tool works across art styles and makes it easy to drop your character into any environment.

  • Magic Fill: Instantly insert your character into any photo or meme.

  • Remix: Transfer style from any image while keeping your character’s identity intact.

  • Templates and custom scenes make experimentation fast and fun.

This is a clear signal that character persistence- long a challenge in image and video generation- is becoming accessible. If consistency like this holds across frames, you can bet video is next. And yes, the team is already teasing it.

Another video breakthrough this week: Moonvalley’s Marey model has unlocked an emergent ability- Sketch to Video.

What’s New:

Give Marey a sentence of text and a rough sketch- just a single frame- and it transforms that into a photorealistic video sequence. No need for animation software, no rigging, no keyframes.

While others focus on fidelity or style, Marey leans into intention. A quick doodle plus context now equals a vivid, high-res video. This opens the door to lightweight video storyboarding, animated concept art, and expressive ideation- without the overhead.

Both Ideogram Character and Moonvalley Marey aim for visual consistency from minimal input- Ideogram uses a single image, while Marey starts with a sketch. Ideogram focuses on character fidelity across styles and expressions, while Marey takes it further by turning sketches into photoreal video. The difference lies in that Ideogram is still refining image consistency with hints at video, while Marey already generates full-motion video from abstract inputs. Both are focused on persistent characters and storytelling, but Marey has moved ahead by incorporating motion.

Here’s another big drop- Wan2.2, the latest from Wan, just raised the bar for high-quality, controllable video generation. And yes, it’s fast.

What’s New:

  • Cinematic Aesthetics: Trained on labeled data for lighting, color, composition.

  • MoE Architecture: Mix-of-Experts lets it scale model capacity without extra compute.

  • Complex Motion: Trained on 83% more video, Wan2.2 handles nuanced action better than ever.

  • HD Output: Supports 720p@24fps video (text-to-video + image-to-video) on consumer GPUs like the RTX 4090.

Wan2.2 quietly nails the trifecta: speed, quality, and control. Its hybrid text+image pipeline and fast render time make it one of the few models that could plausibly run in both studio pipelines and academic labs. (source)

Not quite video, but adjacent in a huge way- Hunyuan3D World Model 1.0 is the first open-source model that lets you generate fully explorable 3D environments from just text or an image.

What’s New:

  • Create interactive 3D scenes from a sentence.

  • Outputs are fully editable in standard CG pipelines.

  • Ready for VR, gaming, digital twins, and more.

  • Open weights available on GitHub + Hugging Face.

This is the bridge between AI image generation and immersive experiences. Instead of video clips, you get entire 3D worlds- editable, explorable, and ready to build on. Huge implications for game design, virtual production, and simulation-heavy fields.

Runway just unveiled Aleph, and it’s not another video generator- it’s an in-context video model that can edit, transform, and reimagine existing footage.

What’s New:

Aleph can add or remove objects, change lighting or style, shift camera angles, and generate new views- all from a source video. It works across multiple tasks and generalizes well to new editing needs.

Most models generate video from scratch. Aleph stands out because it can edit what already exists, making it ideal for real-world creative work. This pushes Runway’s ecosystem beyond prompting and into true AI-assisted post-production. (source)

Both Wan2.2 and Runway Aleph aim for high-quality, controlled video generation, with a strong focus on style, motion, and scene composition. They also emphasize real-world applications- Wan2.2 with efficiency on consumer GPUs, and Aleph with its in-context video editing. The key difference is that Wan2.2 is geared toward generating new videos with aesthetic precision, while Aleph is focused on editing existing videos with context-aware transformations. Essentially, Wan2.2 handles video generation, and Aleph takes care of the post-production phase.
