OpenAI's new customer report says Holiday Extras used Codex to rebuild its travel app. Google has introduced the Gemini Decisions API for bounded decisions across several kinds of media. CNBC examines how AI is changing consulting's billable-hours model and graduate career pipeline. In another company account, OpenAI describes Gilbert + Tobin moving from individual AI assistance toward multistep workflows with human review.
In crypto, CoinDesk reports that UK bank Griffin raised $20 million to expand into stablecoin payments. A separate CoinDesk report describes Ethereum researchers targeting quantum-resistant accounts for 2027; this is a development goal, not a completed transition. Outside technology, the BBC reports UK economic growth of 0.7% in the three months to September, also shown in today's ONS release. The BBC says Poundland is expected to receive more time to seek a buyer as rescue discussions continue. That rescue outcome remains unresolved.
