Today in AI - GPT takes on Amazon, Sonnet 4.5 is released, Lovable gets an upgrade, and a bonus tool

In this short AI news roundup, the host presents four major announcements. First, OpenAI introduced the "Buy It" feature in ChatGPT, powered by Stripe and an Agentic Commerce Protocol, enabling U.S. users to purchase directly from Etsy and over a million Shopify merchants, positioning ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Amazon and Google and urging sellers to prepare structured product data early. Second, Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 4.5, claiming it is the best coding model worldwide; it achieved an 82% bug‑fix success rate on real open‑source code, outperforming GPT‑5 Codex and Gemini, and was demonstrated via a Chrome extension that can navigate sites and automate spreadsheet tasks, with a call‑to‑action for viewers to comment "10x" for a free event invitation. Third, no‑code platform Lovable announced Lovable Cloud and AI, which can automatically generate a full Supabase backend—including authentication, databases, and storage—from a simple prompt, a capability an employee described as "killing software developers" and touted as the first of its kind to work out‑of‑the‑box. Fourth, Maximor, founded by former Microsoft executives, raised $9 million to build an AI‑powered finance team that automates reconciliations, journal entries, and audit‑ready reporting, aiming to replace spreadsheet‑heavy workflows and free finance teams for strategic work. The video concludes with targeted advice for online sellers, developers, and finance leaders.
