Sam Altman said 'Renaissance' and every VC in the room heard 'no regulations.'

OpenAI wants to be the App Store for AI — just don't ask about the security incidents

OpenAI launched a cheaper model, GPT-6.1 Sol, and continuous-run 'dots' agents at its Sept 29 San Francisco developer conference, positioning ChatGPT — used weekly by 1.2 billion people — as an app store where Adobe and others sell software directly. CEO Sam Altman pitched an AI 'Renaissance' to 2,500 developers and made no mention of security incidents that forced the company to suspend some model development on Sept 25. OpenAI is raising at least $30 billion at a reported $1.4 trillion valuation.
