Google’s mysterious Omni video model surfaced inside the Gemini app days before I/O 2026. We cover the leaked UI string, the early demo videos, and the three theories about what Omni actually is.

On May 5, 2026, Subquadratic launched SubQ, the first frontier LLM built on a fully subquadratic sparse-attention architecture, with a 12 million token context window and bold cost claims.

Google now sells Gemini four different ways, and the price gap between them is huge. Google AI Plus starts at $7.99 per month, Google AI Pro is $19.99 per month, and Google AI Ultra sits at $249.99 per month. On the API side, the flagship Gemini 3.1 Pro runs $2.00 per million input tokens and $12.00 per million output tokens at standard context. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Preview drops as low as $0.25 / $1.50 per million. This guide covers every part of Gemini pricing in 2026. We walk through the consumer plans, the API token rates for Gemini 3.1 Pro and the Flash family, the Vertex AI Standard / Priority […]

GPT-5.5 now sits at 59 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (#2 of 141 models), two points ahead of Gemini 3.1 Pro at 57. The April 23, 2026 launch flipped what had been a dead heat into a clear ChatGPT lead on most head-to-head benchmarks. But that single number hides massive differences in what each AI actually does best, and choosing the wrong one could mean paying for features you don’t need while missing the ones you do. This comparison breaks down every meaningful difference between ChatGPT and Gemini in April 2026. We cover the latest models (GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro), benchmark performance, pricing across all tiers, and clear […]

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. If you stick with Claude, Anthropic’s Claude Cowork desktop agent is the agentic surface to know about on Mac and Windows. This is an honest […]

Meta’s Muse Spark scored 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, making it the highest-ranked free AI model available right now. It trails GPT-5.5 (59, released April 23, 2026), Gemini 3.1 Pro (57) and Claude Opus 4.6 (53), but the fact that it costs nothing puts real pressure on every paid competitor. Shortly after launch, the Meta AI app jumped from #57 to #5 on the App Store. Claude users who want agentic workflows beyond chat should also see our Claude Cowork guide. But raw benchmark scores don’t tell you which model to open when you need to write an email, debug code, or analyze a medical paper. We compared […]

AI system instructions are one of the most powerful yet underused features in modern chatbots. They let you define how an AI responds to you, every single time, without repeating yourself in each conversation. Used well, they eliminate the most common frustration with AI: getting generic responses that require constant correction. Yet most people never touch them. They open ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini and start typing, getting generic responses that require constant correction. System instructions fix that problem at the root. In this guide, we cover what system instructions actually are, how they differ from regular prompts, how to set them up on every major AI platform, and share advanced […]

Google NotebookLM has had one of the most packed update cycles of any AI tool in recent memory. Since October 2025, the platform has shipped six major upgrades, including Deep Research, a Gemini 3 engine upgrade, built-in slide editing with PPTX export, and the brand-new Cinematic Video Overviews that launched in March 2026, powered by Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3. The free plan still exists, but a new four-tier pricing structure now separates what each type of user can access. This guide covers every NotebookLM update from October 2025 through March 2026, explains how to use each new feature, and breaks down the current NotebookLM pricing across […]
