Midjourney V8.1 rolled out to midjourney.com and Discord on April 30, 2026, two weeks after launching in alpha on April 14. It is the fastest model Midjourney has shipped, with standard jobs rendering 4 to 5 times faster than earlier versions and HD mode running 3x faster and 3x cheaper than V8.0. Native 2K images are now the headline feature, generated at 2048 by 2048 pixels without a separate upscale step. This Midjourney V8.1 review covers what changed since V7 and V8.0, how V8.1 stacks up against GPT Image 1.5, Imagen 4, Nano Banana Pro, and Flux 2, what it costs, and how to actually use it on a Mac […]

The standard cost of a major AI assistant in 2026 is $20 per month: ChatGPT Plus at $20, Claude Pro at $20, Google AI Pro at $19.99, and Perplexity Pro at $20. Budget tiers start at Google AI Plus at $4.99 and ChatGPT Go at $8, with Grok SuperGrok Lite at $10 just above. Power-user plans run ChatGPT Pro and Claude Max at $100 and $200, SuperGrok at $30, and SuperGrok Heavy at $300, while Google AI Ultra was cut to $99.99 at Google I/O 2026 (with a $199.99 higher-limit plan on top). DeepSeek has no monthly plan; web chat is free and the rest runs on per-token API pricing. […]

For the first time ever, Mac users can install all three flagship AI apps natively. Google’s Gemini for Mac shipped on April 15, 2026, and that closes the gap with ChatGPT and Claude, which have had polished native apps on macOS for over a year. Three apps, three different philosophies, and exactly one Dock you have to share between them. Google has since rolled out its Gemini 3.5 family and moved once more, so the free tier now runs Gemini 3.6 Flash while Gemini 3.1 Pro stays the paid consumer flagship inside the app. Anthropic answered on July 24, 2026 with Claude Opus 5, and Claude for Mac picked up […]

Perplexity pricing in 2026 spans six core SKUs: Free at $0, Pro at $20/month ($200/year), Max at $200/month ($2,000/year), Education Pro at $10/month for verified students, Enterprise Pro at $40/seat/month, and Enterprise Max at $325/seat/month. The Sonar API sits on its own per-token ladder, from $1 per million tokens on the base Sonar model up to $15 per million output tokens on Sonar Pro. This guide covers every part of Perplexity pricing you’ll actually pay for. We walk through the consumer plans, daily query limits, the Sonar API rate card, Comet (now free as of March 2026) and Comet Plus, plus the Education and Enterprise tiers. Every number was pulled […]

xAI just rolled Grok 4.3 out to the full API on April 30, 2026, two weeks after a $300/month beta locked behind SuperGrok Heavy. The bigger story is the price reset. Grok 4.3 now runs at $1.25 per million input tokens and $2.50 per million output tokens, an input cut of roughly 40% and an output cut closer to 60% versus Grok 4.20. It scores 53 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, slotting just above Claude Sonnet 4.6 and well below GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview. This Grok 4.3 review covers what actually changed since the April beta, where Grok now stands against the other frontier […]

WWDC 2026 runs June 8 to 12, with the keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10am Pacific Time streamed on Apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. Apple sent media invites on May 18, 2026 confirming the full schedule, and on May 23 quietly registered a new genai.apple.com subdomain that almost nobody outside MacRumors has spotted. This year’s keynote is the most consequential AI moment Apple has ever had. On January 12, 2026, Apple and Google jointly announced that the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be built on a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter Google Gemini model. Apple is reportedly paying around $1 billion per year for it. […]

Claude pricing in 2026 has seven core SKUs: Free at $0, Pro at $20/month ($17 with annual billing), Max 5x at $100/month, Max 20x at $200/month, Team Standard at $25/seat, Team Premium at $125/seat, and Enterprise at $20/seat plus API usage. API rates run from $1 per million input tokens on Haiku 4.5 up to $50 per million output tokens on the Fable 5 flagship. The newest model, Claude Opus 5, landed on July 24, 2026 at $5/$25, the same rate as Opus 4.8 and half of Fable 5. This guide breaks down every Claude pricing dimension you’ll actually pay for: subscription tiers, API rates per million tokens, Claude Code, […]

Google launched the native Gemini Mac app on April 15, 2026. It ends a long stretch where Mac users had to run Gemini in a browser tab while ChatGPT and Claude already had proper desktop apps. The download is free, the install takes under two minutes, and the headline feature is the Option + Space global hotkey that brings up Gemini from anywhere on your Mac without breaking your workflow. If you already use Gemini on the web or on iPhone, this is the upgrade you have been waiting for. If you have been weighing Gemini against ChatGPT or Claude, the playing field just changed. This guide walks you through […]

No, Claude cannot generate images. Anthropic’s own help center confirms it. Claude “does not generate photos or illustrations” the way DALL-E, Midjourney, or Nano Banana do. If you have asked Claude to draw something and watched it apologize, you are not missing a hidden setting. The feature simply does not exist inside Claude. If you need images, start with a dedicated a free AI image generator instead. That said, you have options. Claude can still build SVG diagrams, interactive charts, and as of April 17, 2026, full slide decks and prototypes through Claude Design. And if you want actual images, like a real photo or illustration, the cleanest fix on […]

Kimi K2.6 is the new open-source AI model from China’s Moonshot AI, released on April 20, 2026. It just tied GPT-5.5 on the toughest coding benchmark in the industry, at roughly 80% less per million tokens. The open-weight race kept moving fast. Moonshot has since launched the 2.8T-parameter Kimi K3, and GLM 5.2 has pulled ahead of GPT-5.5 on SWE-bench Pro. With 1 trillion total parameters, 32 billion active per token, and a 256K-token context window, K2.6 is now the #1 open-weight model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. In this article you will find what Kimi K2.6 actually does well, where it still loses to Claude Opus 4.7 and […]
