AI news today: ChatGPT gets a wallet, Gemini reads your bank account

Two AI assistants reached for your money on the same day. One can spend it, one can only look, and looking is the safer place to start.

  1. ChatGPT Wallet lets agents buy, with your OK every time

    OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet on Nov. 13 so its dots agents can pay for you, with every purchase approved by Face ID or a fingerprint, for some US Pro subscribers. The spending limits it plans next are what turn this into a real shopper.

    Why it matters If you sell online, check that your bot rules don't block ChatGPT's browser before shoppers start buying through agents. If you're a Pro subscriber, start with small, returnable orders: the token hides your card number, but the agent's choices are still yours to check.

  2. Gemini now reads your Google Wallet and bank accounts

    Google Wallet is now a connected app in Gemini, rolling out to every US user, with optional bank and card links through Plaid. It reads your spending and can't move money, which is the right way to start.

    Why it matters If you want a subscription audit or a holiday budget, Gemini can now build one from data you already keep at Google. Link a bank through Plaid only if you want the deeper read, and check Memory Summary afterward to see what Gemini kept.

  3. Six Chinese AI models carry Nvidia Blackwell fingerprints

    Researcher Will DePue says traces in published weights show six Chinese AI models, including DeepSeek-V4-Pro and Kimi K3, were started on export-banned Nvidia Blackwell chips. His chip count is a guess. The method is the news.

    Why it matters If DeepSeek, Kimi or MiniMax weights are in your product, expect customers and compliance teams to start asking where they came from. Nothing breaks today, so test a fallback model now instead of in a hurry later.

  4. llama.cpp ships 1.0 with a stable API promise

    The ggml-org team released llama.cpp v1.0.0 on Nov. 13 with semantic versioning for its C API, so breaking changes now come with a major version bump. For anyone shipping local AI, that promise matters more than any new feature.

    Why it matters If your app links libllama, you can now pin to 1.x and upgrade without guessing whether your build breaks. If you've held off putting a local model in a product until the tooling settled, this is the stability you were waiting for.

  5. LangChain raises $300M at $3B to run your AI agents

    LangChain raised a $300 million Series C led by CapitalG at a $3 billion valuation, more than double a year ago, and says over 7,000 organizations use LangSmith. Investors are now paying for the software that runs and watches agents after they ship.

    Why it matters If you have agents in production, the funding points at the hard part: tracing, evaluation and governance. Put monitoring on the agents you already run before you build the next one, whichever vendor you pick.

Prompt of the day

Audit your subscriptions from a pasted statement

› Below is a list of my card and bank transactions from the last 90 days. I've already removed account numbers. Act as a blunt personal finance reviewer.

1. Find every recurring charge (subscriptions, memberships, apps, software). For each, give the merchant, the amount, how often it bills and the yearly cost.
2. Flag any recurring charge whose amount went up during the period, and any that look like duplicates or overlap (for example, two music services or two cloud storage plans).
3. Group the rest of my spending into no more than eight categories, with a monthly total for each.
4. Give me the three changes that would save the most money over a year, with the yearly savings for each.
5. List anything you're unsure about as a question instead of guessing.

Use only what I paste. Don't invent transactions, merchants or amounts.
