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 […]

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: […]

OpenAI dropped GPT-5.5 on April 23, 2026, and it is now the most capable ChatGPT model the company ships.

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 […]

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 […]

A nameless AI model called Hunter Alpha appeared on OpenRouter, topped the leaderboards, and fooled thousands into thinking it was DeepSeek V4. It turned out to be Xiaomi’s MiMo-V2-Pro, a trillion-parameter model rivaling GPT-5.2 at a fraction of the cost.

Most people think AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or DeepSeek only know what you tell them. But that’s not the full story. From just a few messages, AI can build a surprisingly accurate profile of you — your personality, habits, even your fears. And sometimes, it doesn’t even need your permission to start […]
