Original: AI’s biggest shift this week is not bigger models — it’s smaller frictions

Short summary

This week's AI developments from OpenAI, Meta, Google, Microsoft, and ZML collectively signal a shift from bigger models to reducing workflow friction. OpenAI launched GPT-Live for full-duplex voice interaction, Meta embedded Muse Image/Video into Instagram and WhatsApp, Google added Video Remix to Photos, and Microsoft announced a $2.5B enterprise AI engineering unit called Frontier Company. The common thread is making AI usable inside existing tools rather than as separate destinations.

  • •OpenAI's GPT-Live enables simultaneous listen-and-speak voice interaction in ChatGPT for paid users
  • •Meta and Google are embedding AI media generation directly into Instagram, WhatsApp, and Google Photos to reduce tool-switching friction
  • •Microsoft launched Frontier Company with $2.5B investment to help enterprises deploy AI at scale

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

The original title is metaphorical and vague. I need to extract the key facts from the summary and create a specific, punchy headline.
