Claude Opus 4.8 takes the #1 spot on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 61.4, beating GPT-5.5. Full benchmarks, pricing, and what’s new.

You do not have to pay $20/month for Perplexity Pro. Verified students and teachers pay just $10/month for the Education Pro plan (a flat 50% discount), any verified student gets one free month that stacks all the way to 24 free months through referrals, and every US government worker with a .gov email gets a full free year. Those are the three routes that actually work right now, and none of them involve a sketchy promo-code generator. This guide breaks down every confirmed way to get Perplexity Pro for free or cheap, exactly what each route costs, and who qualifies for it. It also tells you which famous “free year” […]

Baidu released ERNIE 5.1 on May 8, 2026, hitting #4 on LMArena Search using only 6% of normal pre-training cost. We cover benchmarks, architecture, agentic performance, and how it compares to DeepSeek V4 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro.

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.

The number one reason ChatGPT cancellations “don’t work” has nothing to do with OpenAI’s website. It’s that ChatGPT runs on three separate billing systems, and most people try to cancel in the wrong one. If you signed up on iPhone, Apple bills you. If you signed up on Android, Google bills you. If you signed up on chatgpt.com, OpenAI bills you. Cancel in the wrong place and your subscription keeps charging, whether it’s Plus at $20/month or Pro at $200/month. This guide covers every cancellation path that exists in 2026, across every paid tier. The same iPhone, Android, and web steps work for Plus, Pro, and Go, since they all […]

Claude hit #1 on the App Store in early 2026, pushing ChatGPT out of the top spot for the first time. The catalyst was Anthropic publicly refusing the Pentagon’s demand to deploy its models for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, after which the government labelled Anthropic a “supply chain risk.” The backlash flipped the script: users migrated to Claude out of sympathy for Anthropic’s stance, and the company reported over 60% growth in free users and more than doubled paid subscribers in just a few months. For more on how the two companies’ philosophies shape what you actually see in the chat window, we broke down how Claude and ChatGPT […]

OpenAI dropped GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026, and it is now the most capable ChatGPT model the company ships. GPT-5.5 scores 93.6% on GPQA Diamond, 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, and 78.7% on OSWorld-Verified, all ahead of GPT-5.4, while its Pro variant pushes BrowseComp to 90.1% and FrontierMath Tier 4 to 39.6%. In under nine months, OpenAI has shipped six distinct versions of GPT-5, each with its own identity and price point. If you have lost track of what separates GPT-5.0 from GPT-5.5, this guide covers every model in the family, release dates, context windows, benchmarks, pricing, and the key differences that actually matter. We also look ahead at what ChatGPT […]

DeepSeek released V4-Pro and V4-Flash on April 24, 2026, open-source MoE models with 1M context, new CSA/HCA hybrid attention, and benchmarks rivaling GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus 4.6. Full breakdown of architecture, benchmarks, pricing, and comparisons.

On April 23, 2026, OpenAI introduced GPT-5.5, its most capable model to date 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 out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users across ChatGPT and Codex. GPT-5.5 Pro is available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers. For anyone using Fello AI on Mac, iPhone, or iPad, GPT-5.5 will be available in upcoming weeks alongside Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, DeepSeek, Kimi-K2.6, and Perplexity in the same […]

Update — May 2, 2026: Read our new Grok 4.3 review. ChatGPT now runs on GPT-5.5, launched on April 23, 2026, while Grok is powered by Grok 4.3 (released April 30, 2026) and the older Grok 4.20 from xAI. Both chatbots have evolved significantly over the past year, and picking between them is no longer as simple as “ChatGPT is the default.” Grok has grown from 1.9% US market share to 17.8% in just 12 months, while ChatGPT still dominates with over 900 million weekly active users and roughly 64.5% global market share. So which one should you actually use? We compared Grok vs ChatGPT across benchmarks, pricing, coding, writing, […]
