OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Atlas, a new web browser that integrates ChatGPT into the browsing experience. Rather than functioning as a separate assistant that users have to switch to, Atlas incorporates the model throughout the browsing process. It understands web pages, answers questions, and assists with tasks in real-time. The company describes Atlas as "a browser built with ChatGPT at its core," designed to bring the assistant into the same space where users already read, research, and work.

The Court received a very compelling letter, dated August 5, 2025, from three leading victims' rights attorneys, who have stated: "[A]ny disclosure of grand jury material-especially material that could expose or help identify victims in any way-directly affects the CVRA's [18 U.S.C. §3771] fairness, privacy, conferral, and protection guarantees." [citation omitted] These attorneys represent "numerous survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, including several individuals whose names and identifying information appear in the subject materials." Id. at 1. Whether victims do or do not favor unsealing, it is imperative that victims have adequate notice of unsealing and adequate timem to respond in advance of disclosure.
