Mythos leaks, SpaceX buys Cursor and OpenAI drops GPT Image 2.0

TL;DR

OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0 leads image models by 200+ ELO points, SpaceX secured a $60B option to acquire Cursor, and the restricted Mythos model was quietly used in private Discord groups.

Key Points

• 1.OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0 dominates all competitors by a record margin. It scores 1512 ELO versus Nano Banana's 1271 — a 200+ point gap — beating rivals in every category including 3D imaging, text rendering, portraits, and UI generation.
• 2.SpaceX secured a $60 billion option to acquire Cursor, the leading AI coding agent. The deal gives Cursor access to SpaceX's Colossus supercomputer cluster (1 million H100 equivalent); if SpaceX passes on acquisition, it still paid $10 billion for the partnership alone.
• 3.The restricted 'Mythos' model was quietly used by users in a private Discord group. Despite being deemed too dangerous to release publicly, members of a private online forum reportedly had regular access to it — not for cybersecurity exploits, but for general use.
• 4.A stealth OpenAI model (possibly GPT-5.5 or 'Spud') is expected to drop within 48 hours. Early testers say its front-end development capability is 'off the charts' — given a website screenshot, it codes a fully functional replica including visual assets.
• 5.GPT Image 2.0 excels at precise text rendering and complex structured outputs. Demonstrations included a near-perfect periodic table of elements, a realistic Eastern European restaurant menu, a commemorative plaque, and SVG code embedded inside a generated screenshot.
• 6.GPT Image 2.0 has two tiers and one persistent weakness. The thinking model adds web search and extra reasoning; the model still cannot reliably generate a wine glass filled to the brim, consistently producing half-full or wrong glass shapes despite explicit prompting.
