OpenAI AI Updates: May 26, 2026

1. OpenAI signs its first Brazilian news deal with Folha and UOL, settling a 2025 copyright lawsuit and bundling Codex and enterprise ChatGPT into the contract

OpenAI. OpenAI announced a content partnership with Grupo Folha and Grupo UOL, the first commercial AI content agreement between Brazilian publishers and OpenAI, that pipes real-time reporting from Folha de S.Paulo and UOL into ChatGPT with attribution and links back to the publishers’ sites. The deal also resolves the lawsuit Folha filed against OpenAI in 2025 over unauthorized scraping of its articles, ending the litigation as part of the licensing framework. Beyond content access, the contract gives both publishers ChatGPT Enterprise seats, OpenAI API credits, and access to Codex for software development, with the joint goal of building reader-facing AI products and modernizing internal editorial workflows. Financial terms are confidential, and the announcement extends the publisher-deal pattern OpenAI has been running since 2023 with Financial Times, Axel Springer, Condé Nast, Le Monde, and Time. Source
