OpenAI disclosed on Thursday that analytics provider Mixpanel suffered a security breach that exposed limited user data tied to the API platform.
"Trust, security, and privacy are foundational to our products," OpenAI stated, adding that they have removed Mixpanel from production systems and begun notifying affected users.

Unpopular opinion: That 1-million token 'unlimited memory' your AI advertises? Marketing hype.
Even the best models struggle to track details past a few thousand tokens. Context Rot is why your AI gives you contradictory answers in the same conversation.
Here's what's really happening under the hood:
Understanding Context Rot in AI: What Every User Should Know open.substack.com/pub/ephor/p/un…
This is our first skills integration, but the plumbing is now there for many more.
Something truly exciting is on the horizon.
What document tasks would you want your AI agent to handle?
What makes this cool is the seamless handoff. Agent realizes it needs document work → routes to skill → streams results back → continues conversation.
No context switching. No manual file uploads. Just natural document collaboration.
We just shipped something pretty exciting 🚀
Our AI agents can now work with documents natively
- Excel (.xlsx) - create workbooks, formulas, charts
- PowerPoint (.pptx) - build presentations, add images
- Word (.docx) - draft docs, format, comment
- PDF - extract, merge, generate
With that you can,
✅ Search your Confluence pages
✅ Fetch internal docs on-demand
✅ Let the Ephor Delegate Agent reference your company knowledge securely
This unlocks a whole new level of context-aware AI — grounded in your real documentation.
Enterprise knowledge + AI = 🔥
Now you can easily connect your Atlassian account to Ephor Delegate Mode! ⚡
Go to your Atlassian settings and follow:
🛠️ Security & Access Policies → MCP Server Settings → Add Domain → "ephor.ai"
We finally got the Atlassian MCP Connector back inside Ephor! 🎉
It's been tricky, a lot of back-and-forth with Atlassian, security approvals, and admin hurdles, but now Ephor can talk to your Confluence docs again.
Here’s the story 🧵
An interesting trend we're noticing at Stripe: US startups are pulling ahead of their peers elsewhere.
These charts show averaged revenue growth for software startups in each location. US startups typically grow somewhat faster than those elsewhere. However, since mid-2023, US companies have accelerated a lot. Interestingly, this is not just because of AI startups: if we strip those out, there's still a big divergence. Our leading hypothesis is that US startups (even those that aren't AI companies as such) are adopting new technologies (AI, stablecoins, etc.) faster than companies elsewhere. (This pattern of faster adoption among US companies was also seen with the internet itself.)
Whatever the cause, the pattern is striking.
[Methodological note: this pattern appears to hold beyond Europe as well.]
We just shipped Ephor V2.3.5 🎉
This release is all about listening to YOU – our community.
Refined features, reliability fixes, and UX improvements you've been asking for.
Here's what's new 🧵
Here’s something you can do in Ephor that you can’t on platforms like ChatGPT or Claude AI because they limit you to one running chat per session.
Assuming your connectors are configured, fire off an ephor agent to read your email that came in since you were last online. Check your calendar, and make you a draft day plan
Hit New Chat. Run a deep research on something you’re working on. It’ll take a while, so...
Hit New Chat. Ask Ephor to pull a summary of the latest PRs merged to main in one of your repos.
Hit New Chat. Ask the Ephor agent to fetch Linear issues assigned to you.
Hit New Chat: ideate on a feature spec with five top-of-the-line LLMs in parallel.
Go back to the previous chats to review their output. Ask Ephor to draft and send a Google Chat update to the product manager, with the PRs that have made their way to staging.
Copy the super response with the spec to claude code to sketch out tests for the feature you're developing.
Return to ephor and dig into the 3x deep-research outputs it surfaced.
If you don't mind context hopping, supercharges productivity, and prevents you having to wait for the LLMs to finish "thinking" and responding.
No other way to work.
Did you know you can run local MCPs on Ephor? Lots of high-quality integrations. We track usage for our users and surface the most used ones in community highlights.
If you haven't already, this is your reminder to check out Ephor! Bring your context to all the frontier LLMs.
