Apple’s 2026 iPad lineup splits cleanly into four models, but only three of them can actually run Apple Intelligence, and the gap between the cheapest iPad for AI and the iPad Pro M5 is now over $650. The base iPad 11 ($349) still ships with the A16 chip and 6GB of RAM, which means no on-device generative AI features at all. Above it sit the iPad mini ($499), the iPad Air M4 ($599), and the iPad Pro M5 ($999), each unlocking a different level of AI performance. This guide breaks down every iPad you can buy in April 2026, what kind of AI on iPad each one can realistically handle, […]

Within five days in April 2026, the two biggest names in AI dropped products that look almost identical at first glance and could not be more different in practice. Anthropic launched Claude Design on April 17, 2026, powered by Claude Opus 4.7 (now upgraded to Claude Opus 4.8), and OpenAI followed with ChatGPT Images 2.0 on April 21, 2026, the first image model with built-in reasoning. Figma stock fell roughly 7% on Claude Design’s launch day, and the design world has been arguing ever since about which tool is the future. The pitch is the same. The execution is not. If you are a designer, founder, marketer, or PM who […]

Update for May 21, 2026: Refreshed after Google I/O 2026 for Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini Spark, the Google AI Ultra price cut to $99.99, and the DeepSeek V4 release. Also covers the WWDC 2026 preview, iOS 27 Siri Extensions, and Apple AI Glasses. Your iPhone ships with Apple Intelligence built in, but the real power is in the third-party AI apps you add on top. Across 1 million+ ratings, Grok holds a 4.9-star App Store average, ChatGPT pulls in hundreds of millions of users every month, and Google Gemini crossed 450 million monthly users in 2026. As of May 19, 2026, Gemini’s free tier runs on Gemini 3.5 Flash with […]

ChatGPT pricing in 2026 covers seven pricing plans plus pay-per-token API access: Free at $0, Go at $8/month, Plus at $20/month, Pro at $100/month, Pro at $200/month, Business at $25-30/user/month, and Enterprise on custom pricing. The biggest recent change is GPT-5.6 (Sol, Terra, Luna) reaching ChatGPT on July 9, 2026, putting the new flagship GPT-5.6 Sol in front of Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, with the higher-effort Sol Pro reserved for Pro and Enterprise, while GPT-5.5 Instant stays the fast everyday default across every tier. Other 2026 updates include ChatGPT Personal Finance launching May 15, 2026 as a US-only preview for Pro subscribers via Plaid, Codex Mobile rolling out […]

Update, July 10, 2026: ChatGPT moved to a new flagship. GPT-5.6 began its broad public rollout on July 9, 2026 as a three-tier family, Sol (flagship), Terra (balanced), and Luna (fast and cheapest). On the Google side, Gemini 3.1 Pro remains the paid flagship on Google AI Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash is the free-tier default, with Gemini 3.5 Pro still in limited enterprise preview. Every benchmark, price, and comparison below reflects the new lineup. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5.6 Sol, which posts a state-of-the-art 88.8% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (91.9% in ultra mode), the one benchmark it shares with Gemini. But OpenAI did not publish an Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index […]

On April 21, 2026, OpenAI shipped ChatGPT Images 2.0, the first image model that can actually read what you ask it to write. That single change, readable text inside the image, is what finally turns ChatGPT into a real infographic and poster tool for everyday users. No more gibberish headlines. No more broken bullet points. You type the exact text you want, the model places it cleanly, and you download a finished visual. This guide is for the people who need to make a visual today, not design pros. If you’re a teacher building a classroom handout, a student making a conference poster, a marketer pushing a campaign graphic, or […]

Update, July 10, 2026: GPT-5.5 has since been succeeded by GPT-5.6, which reached general availability on July 9, 2026 with the Sol, Terra, and Luna tiers and is now OpenAI’s frontier model. This guide remains the deep reference on GPT-5.5, which stays available as the fast Instant default across ChatGPT tiers. On April 23, 2026, OpenAI introduced GPT-5.5, its most capable model at launch and the first fully retrained base model since GPT-4.5. The release brings state-of-the-art scores on Terminal-Bench 2.0, OSWorld, and GDPval, a much stronger agentic coding profile in Codex, a new Pro tier, and a pricing step up that reflects the jump in intelligence. GPT-5.5 is rolling […]

Update, July 2026: xAI has since announced Grok 4.5. See our Grok 4.5 breakdown, and our Grok 4.3 review for the model DeepSearch runs on today. A single Perplexity Deep Research query now runs dozens of searches, reads hundreds of sources, and delivers a cited report in 2 to 4 minutes. On the heavier end, ChatGPT Deep Research can browse the web for up to 30 minutes and pull from hundreds of pages. In 2026, every major AI tool has shipped its own version of search, deep research, or both, and the gap between “ask a question” and “commission a research assistant” has collapsed into a single click. This guide […]

On April 16, 2026, OpenAI pushed the biggest update yet to its Codex Mac app and the headline is simple, Codex can now take control of your Mac. The feature is called codex mac computer use, and it lets Codex see your screen, move its own cursor, click, and type across any macOS app you have open. OpenAI also added an in-app browser, image generation with gpt-image-2.0, memory, and over 90 new plugins in the same release. We spent a day with the updated app on Apple Silicon and on an Intel Mac. The short version, Codex on Mac stopped being a coding tool and turned into a general-purpose agent […]

Update — July 12, 2026: ChatGPT Atlas is shutting down; see the best ChatGPT Atlas alternatives for Mac. Update — May 2, 2026: Read our new Grok 4.3 review. ChatGPT crossed 900 million weekly active users in early 2026, but most of them are paying $20 a month for a single model when the same cash could buy access to GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Grok 4.3 (released April 30, 2026) in one app. If you are on Mac, you have more options than the default ChatGPT desktop app gives you, and most of them are cheaper, faster, or both. Apple is opening up too: at WWDC […]
