A man walks past a board showing numbers of the Taiex Index, center, and other Asian markets at the Taiwan Stock Exchange in Taipei on May 4. [AFP/YONHAP] [BEHIND THE NUMBERS] Asia’s economic order is being reshaped in the age of AI, with Korea emerging as a key pivot point in a shifting regional hierarchy. While Korea faces rising pressure from Taiwan, where GDP per capita is projected to increasingly outpace Korea in the years ahead, it is simultaneously closing in on Japan in exports — a longstanding benchmark it once sought to emulate. Korea is clearly larger than Taiwan in total economic size, supported by a population nearly twice as large and decades of state-led industrialization that produced national champions across industries from semiconductors to autos and steel. But that gap has narrowed markedly in the wake of the recent AI-driven semiconductor boom.

OpenAI updated the default model for ChatGPT to its new GPT-5.5 Instant, along with a new memory capability that finally shows which context shaped responses — at least some of them. This limitation signals that models are starting to create a second, incomplete memory observability layer that could conflict with existing audit systems and agent logs. GPT-5.5 Instant replaces GPT-5.3 Instant as the default ChatGPT model and is a version of its new flagship GPT-5.5 LLM . It’s supposed to be more dependable, accurate and smarter than 5.3. But it’s the introduction of memory sources, which will be enabled across all models in the platform, that could help enterprises in their projects. “When a response is personalized, you can see what context was used, such as saved memories or past chats, and delete or correct it if something is outdated or no longer relevant,” OpenAI said in a blog post . When a user asks ChatGPT something, users can tap the sources button (at the bottom of the respons

- OpenAI Fast-Tracking AI Phone for 2027 Launch, Says Kuo
OpenAI is said to be fast-tracking development of its first "AI agent phone," with the company now aiming to mass produce the device as early as the first half of next year, according to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo . Late last month, Kuo revealed OpenAI's work on a smartphone, contradicting earlier reports that the company had no plans to enter the mobile market. Kuo said MediaTek and Qualcomm are the chosen chip partners and Luxshare Precision Industry is the exclusive manufacturing partner, with mass production scheduled for 2028. Reasons for Kuo's revised 1H27 production target are now said to include OpenAI's planned initial public offering (i.e. a compelling hardware product could strengthen its story to investors if it goes public) and intensifying competition in AI agent phones. Kuo says MediaTek appears "better positioned to become the sole processor supplier," with the device set to use a customized version of the Dimensity 9600, which will apparently be built on TSMC's N2P
