| WELCOME | Happy Tuesday, legends. Welcome back to another edition of The Frontier — our weekly newsletter covering the best new AI launches on Product Hunt. . | | TOP LAUNCHES | More visual AI | | Cursor’s visual editor lets you fix your UI directly in the Cursor Browser instead of wrestling with prompts. Click on an element, move it, adjust spacing or text on the page, then sync those changes back to your code without digging through CSS or playing guess-and-refresh. GenTabs in Disco sits inside Google’s new Labs browser and uses Gemini 3 to look at your open tabs, your goal, and turn that mess into a small, interactive app. Planning a trip, comparing tools, learning a topic or organizing a project becomes a custom interface you can tweak in plain language instead of another 25-tab research spiral. ManyPI lets you turn any website into a clean, type-safe API. You describe the data you want in natural language or as a JSON schema, it handles the extraction and typing, and you get usable JSON you can plug into RAG pipelines, sales workflows, content aggregation, or research without rolling your own scraper each time. Music Videos by Mozart turns a song and a short text idea into a full AI music video. You pick the track, set the style, let it sync visuals to the audio, then export something ready for socials without touching a traditional timeline or editor. Macaly 3.0 is built for the part after the AI draft. You get Edit Mode to change layouts on the canvas, Global Styles to keep everything consistent, an Asset Library to manage visuals, and Review Changes so you can see exactly what you just touched. Team plans and hosting are baked in so you can go from rough version to shipped site in one place.

| WHAT’S HOT | A code red, a new GPT, and a Disney cease-and-desist | | OpenAI had a very busy week. | First, CEO Sam Altman had a wee freakout over ChatGPT’s loss of market share to Google’s Gemini 3 and Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5, both of which were released in November. Altman issued an internal “code red.” A few days later, OpenAI moved up its launch of GPT-5.2, which has three modes: | Instant: I need that answer right now. Thinking: I need a plan or a code, but I’ll brew some coffee while I wait for a better answer. Pro: I have a really difficult question, so let me take a nap while you do all the legwork for me.
| GPT-5.2 now wins most of OpenAI’s own benchmarks, but R&D World ran a side-by-side comparison of six of the most common benchmarks. Here were the winners: | SWE-bench Verified (coding): Claude Opus 4.5 GPQA Diamond (science): Gemini 3 Deep Think AIME 2025 (math, no tools): GPT-5.2 Thinking/Pro ARC-AGI-2 (abstract reasoning): GPT-5.2 Pro Humanity’s Last Exam (academic-level reasoning): Gemini 3 Deep Think FrontierMath Tier 1-3: GPT-5.2 Thinking
| At the moment, Anthropic’s Claude remains the gold standard for coding, which is in line with Product Hunt users’ opinions. But OpenAI has upped its game on math and reasoning. | OpenAI didn’t just make moves on the LLM front. It also moved forward on AI-generated video. Here’s what happened: | The same day OpenAI released 5.2, it announced a deal with Disney. The House of Mouse is taking a $1B stake in the company and will “become a major customer of OpenAI.” It’s also licensing over 200 characters from its extensive IP library. That means that Sora users will soon be able to dream up a video of Buzz Lightyear and Woody sumo wrestling in a tub of mayonnaise without running into any legal issues (as long as Hellman’s doesn’t get involved). Disney+ will even feature some of the videos. | The move obviously injects some life into OpenAI, but it also turns one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world into a surrogate. To wit, the day before the announcement, Disney issued Google a cease-and-desist over copyright infringement on its Gemini 3 model. | Sure, maybe Google will end up signing a similar licensing deal with Disney. But for now, here’s where things stand on AI video generation: | Sora does text-to-video and image-to-video for up to one minute. It is now included in ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscriptions. Google’s Veo goes longer than a minute and comes bundled with Gemini subscriptions. But only one lets Disney adults geek out with Goofy. |

| FROM THE FORUMS | Humans, not just agents, are changing | | Musa started a thread arguing that the real shift in AI isn’t just better models or faster agents, it’s how teams are quietly rewriting their workflows around them. Instead of bolting AI onto old processes, people are deleting steps, tightening objectives, and reorganizing work around what agents can now handle natively. | He’s asking builders to share one concrete example: a workflow they rebuilt because AI made the old version pointless. Less “we added a bot to Slack,” more “we stopped doing this step at all because the system can now own it.” If you’ve redesigned how you work instead of just sprinkling AI on top, this is the place to unpack it. | |
