Invest with the art investment platform with 23 profitable exits.

How has the art investing platform Masterworks been able to realize an individual profit for investors with each of its 23 exits to date? 

Here’s an example: an exited Banksy was offered to investors at $1.039 million and internally appraised at the same value after acquisition. As Banksy’s market took off, Masterworks received an offer of $1.5 million from a private collector, resulting in 32% net annualized return for investors in the offering.

Every artwork performs differently — but with 3 illustrative sales (that were held for 1+ year), Masterworks investors realized net annualized returns of 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%.

Masterworks takes care of the heavy lifting: from buying the paintings, to storing them, to selling them for you (no art experience required).

_{"Net Annualized Return” refers to the annualized internal rate of return, or IRR, net of all fees and costs, to holders of Class A shares from the primary offering, calculated from the final closing date of such offering to the date the sale is consummated. A more detailed breakdown of the Net Annualized Return calculation for each issuer can be found in the respective Form 1-U for each exit. The 3 median returns above represent the ones closest in percentage to the median of the 12 exits with holding periods over 1 year.}

_{Masterworks internally appraises artworks that are held by entities administered by Masterworks Administrative Services on an ongoing basis, and obtains an independent review of appraisals by a third-party appraiser on an annual basis.Appraisals are prepared in accordance with the 2024-2025 Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) developed by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, although it is noted that there are potential conflicts of interest given that some or all individual members of the appraisal committee are employees of Masterworks and Masterworks retains an ownership interest in the subject artworks as well as ownership of the Masterworks Platform.}

_{Masterworks compiles historical data from public auctions to produce metrics that we believe can be helpful in measuring and analyzing historical trends in artist markets and the historical price appreciation of specific artworks.}

One Big Story: AI Voices Are Getting Weirdly Good—Just Like Her

Remember Her? That movie where Joaquin Phoenix falls for his AI because she sounds too real? Well, we’re getting closer.

Sesame, led by Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, is working on voice presence—AI that doesn’t just talk but actually feels like a real conversation. Their new Conversational Speech Model (CSM) fixes the biggest flaw in AI voices: lack of emotion, bad timing, and zero context. By analyzing past conversations, adjusting tone, and responding naturally, AI sounds like a person—not like a robot reading a script.

Takeaways:

• Most AI voices suck—they sound flat and disconnected.

• Sesame’s tech makes AI sound human, with emotion, pauses, and personality.

• CSM uses context to shape responses, making conversations feel natural.

• This isn’t just better voice AI—it’s a step toward true digital companionship.

Cool Tech: GPT-4.5: OpenAI’s Most Human-Like Model Yet

OpenAI just dropped a research preview of GPT-4.5, their most advanced AI model yet. It’s designed to be smarter, more intuitive, and less prone to hallucinations than previous versions. Unlike models focused on strict logical reasoning, GPT-4.5 scales unsupervised learning, meaning it’s better at recognizing patterns, drawing connections, and generating creative insights—think more fluid conversations, sharper writing assistance, and improved problem-solving.

Early testing shows it has a higher “EQ,” meaning it picks up on nuance and human intent better, making interactions feel more natural. It’s now available for ChatGPT Pro users and developers through the API, with a broader rollout coming soon. While it’s a powerhouse, it’s also expensive to run, so OpenAI is still evaluating how long they’ll keep it available.

The bottom line is that this is a big leap in AI’s ability to understand and respond like humans, making it an exciting tool for writing, coding, and creative work.
