## The day in brief

_written by the model_

1. **GPT-6.1 Terra released with cost optimizations** — OpenAI has released GPT-6.1 Terra, delivering strong performance gains while slashing token costs across ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API. (→ 02)
2. **OpenAI expands rollout of Decisions API** — OpenAI brought its Decisions API to general availability and integrated gpt-live-1 into Perplexity for native voice mode. (→ 07)
3. **Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3.1 Pro model** — Moonshot AI has officially launched the Kimi K3.1 Pro model featuring 2.8 trillion total parameters and a 1 million context window. (→ 19)

## Video of the day

**OpenAI rolls out updates for Codex and launches Decisions API** — OpenAI brought its Decisions API to general availability and joined the Linux Foundation. Subsequent updates improved connection speeds for voice features, eliminated cache invalidation when altering reasoning mid-conversation, and updated the Codex CLI.
