🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ECHELON
Turn Google Ads into a real customer acquisition channel
If you're running Google Ads for your ecommerce brand, you know potential and performance are two different things.
As one of the leading Google ads agencies in the space, most accounts Echelonn sees have the same issues. Campaigns that should be paused are still running. Revenue is being misattributed. And there's wasted spend hiding in places no one's checking.
The fix isn't more budget. It's better structure, better feeds, and better strategy.
Echelonn works exclusively with ecommerce brands on Google and YouTube Ads. Over 300 brands. More than $15M in monthly spend managed. Nothing else.
If you're already spending on Google and not confident your account is where it should be, book a free audit with Echelonn. No pitch. Just clarity on what to fix first.

OpenAI Introduces Codex Pets Animated Companions That Keep Developers Updated on Task Status
Intelligence: OpenAI quietly added animated companions called Codex Pets to its Codex platform and developers have already run with it in the most creative and chaotic ways possible. The pets sit on top of other applications and give developers quick status updates on their running tasks without needing to reopen the platform.
The characters speak short prompts to update you on whether Codex is running, waiting for input, or ready for review, acting like a tiny assistant living in the corner of your screen.
You can click on your pet, drag it around your screen, and fully customize it through a simple prompt using the hatch-pet skill.
Developers have already created Totoro, Kiki from Studio Ghibli, mini versions of Elon Musk, Sam Altman imagined with "anxious sideways eyes and hunched boardroom chaos energy," and even political figures including Trump, Biden, and Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te.
Codex itself runs on OpenAI's o3 model which was found to make 20 percent fewer major errors than its predecessor on difficult real-world tasks, covering everything from bug fixes to pull request proposals.

Harvard Study Finds OpenAI's o1 Model More Accurate Than Attending Physicians in ER Triage Cases
Intelligence: A study published in Science this week by Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center put OpenAI's AI models head-to-head with real emergency room doctors using actual patient cases, and the AI came out ahead. At triage, the moment with the least information and the highest urgency, o1 got the right or near right diagnosis 67% of the time compared to 55 and 50% for the two attending physicians.
The study used 76 real ER patients from Beth Israel with diagnoses from two internal medicine attendings compared against OpenAI's o1 and 4o models.
A separate pair of attending physicians assessed all the diagnoses without knowing which came from humans and which came from AI.
The AI was given exactly the same electronic medical record information available to the human doctors at each diagnostic moment with no preprocessing or cleanup of the data.
o1 performed at or above the human physicians at every diagnostic touchpoint in the study not just at triage.
The gap was most pronounced at the very first moment of triage where time pressure is highest and available information is thinnest.
The lead author said the model eclipsed both prior AI models and all physician baselines across every benchmark they tested.
