Overview
- Product lead Adam Fry outlined near-term additions including multiprofile support, tab groups, an opt-in ad blocker, and a ChatGPT model picker.
- OpenAI also promised agent upgrades such as a more reliable pause state, faster time to first response, and refinements to the chain-of-thought animation.
- Atlas integrates ChatGPT directly into browsing so it can interpret pages and perform tasks like hunting for flight deals or curating recipes.
- A new scrolling-tabs interface keeps recent, active tabs on the left and shifts older tabs into a scrollable area on the right, as demonstrated by engineer Darin Fisher.
- Industry commentary presents Atlas as a strategic platform push, while experts caution that current agents remain unreliable and warn of long‑term model quality risks such as so‑called “AI brain rot.”
