AI News You Should Know

Another week and another update to an AI model! OpenAI launched new ChatGPT images. Now, whether you’re creating something from scratch or editing a photo, you’ll get the output you’re picturing. It makes precise edits while keeping details intact, and generates images up to 4x faster. Alongside, they introduced a new Images feature⁠(opens in a new window) within ChatGPT, designed to make image generation delightful, to spark inspiration and make creative exploration effortless.

OpenAI has officially launched an app directory directly within ChatGPT, transforming the platform from a conversational AI into a comprehensive productivity hub. This isn't just an incremental update; it's a fundamental shift in how we'll interact with artificial intelligence in our daily lives. This is definitely a trend to watch as AI starts to become the new UI (User Interface).

While OpenAI was having its code red moment, Google casually dropped Gemini 3 Flash on Wednesday like it was no big deal. And before you roll your eyes thinking "another model, who cares," hear me out, this one's different because of WHERE they're putting it. Google's basically shoving this thing into everything. The Gemini app? Gemini 3 Flash. AI Mode in Google Search? Gemini 3 Flash. Your grandmother's smart toaster? Probably Gemini 3 Flash soon.

The numbers are genuinely impressive (and I say this as someone who usually glazes over at benchmark scores): 90.4% on PhD-level reasoning tests, three times faster than their premium model, and way cheaper to run. It's like they built the Toyota Camry of AI models, not the fanciest, but reliable and everywhere.

OpenAI may be still winning the AI war, however, IMO Google has won the AI battle of 2025.
