OpenAI just released GPT-4.1, a new API-only model family built specifically for developers — featuring major improvements in coding abilities, instruction following, and the ability to process up to 1M tokens of context.
The details:
The new API-only lineup includes GPT-4.1, 4.1 mini, and 4.1 nano, significantly outperforming GPT-4o on key developer tasks.
All three models support 1M token contexts, enough for 8 full React codebases, while being 26% cheaper than GPT-4o for typical queries.
The models also show gains in real-world tasks like frontend development, with evaluators preferring 4.1's web interfaces 80% of the time over GPT-4o.
Pricing is reduced across the board, with GPT-4.1 coming in 26% cheaper than GPT-4o and 4.1 nano appearing as OpenAI's fastest and cheapest model yet.
Around $6.8 trillion dollars in value has been wiped from U.S. stocks, as Wall Street is reportedly already reacting to a new era of trade wars. But as stocks slip and inflation worries reignite, one asset class may remain uncorrelated: fine art.
Unlike equities, contemporary art has near-zero correlation to stocks. In fact, Masterworks data shows it has outpaced the S&P 500 by 32% since 1995, making it a go-to hedge for a slice of savvy investor portfolios.
Masterworks’ platform allows everyday investors to invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artwork offerings featuring artists like Picasso and Basquiat. With 23 exits across their 450+ offerings—all profitable—it’s clear why investors are flocking to art.
As AI continues to evolve, open-source large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly powerful, democratizing access to state-of-the-art AI capabilities. In 2025, several key models stand out in the open-source ecosystem, offering unique strengths for various applications.
Microsoft has released Debug-gym, a new environment where AI coding agents can learn interactive debugging skills just like human developers. It gives code-repairing agents access to debugging tools like pdb to set breakpoints, navigate code, print variable values, and create test functions—addressing a key limitation of current AI coding agents that fail when bugs require context beyond available code and error messages
We’ll explore integrations with leading agentic frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI, discuss workflow automation, and highlight common pitfalls and best practices for avoiding them. You’ll also get real-world automation examples with source code to help you implement these strategies.
In this article, I’ll walk you through a day in the life of Jay, a typical developer I (product manager) and Abhi (engineering manager) work with. We will be highlighting the various stages we go through and the challenges we solve. To make this more tangible, let's pretend we’re building an agentic system to turn technical documents into interactive podcasts for our R&D team.

Did you know that the World Wide Web was born in Geneva, Switzerland? Indeed, the first version of the Internet cropped up at CERN in 1989. Today the world-renowned center is home to the largest particle accelerator and to the CERN Science Gateway – a must-see hub for science enthusiasts that features hands-on exhibits, immersive virtual reality experiences, and live demonstrations.
Apple has discovered a new way to train its AI models without directly collecting user data—protecting user privacy while improving its AI capabilities. To protect privacy, Apple trains its models using synthetic data, but this isn’t always reflective of real-world data—resulting in ineffective responses—which explains why it’s struggled with its Apple Intelligence features.
ByteDance introduced Seaweed, a hyper-efficient 7B-parameter video generation model that is competitive against much larger models like Kling 1.6, Google Veo, and Wan 2.1, despite using significantly less compute resources.
NVIDIA has bought over 1M square feet of space to manufacture AI chips and build AI infrastructure in the US and will ramp up chip production at its existing plants (in Dallas and Houston) over 15 months. This comes as NVIDIA’s most advanced AI chip—H20—managed to swerve export restrictions to China, thanks to a deal made with President Trump to pour capital into US-based AI infrastructure.
Google unveiled DolphinGemma, a specialized AI model designed to analyze and generate dolphin vocalizations — designed in collaboration with researchers at Georgia Tech to potentially uncover patterns in their communication.
Most hearing aids have one processor. These bad boys have two. They process speech and noise separately. What does this mean? It means speech gets clearer and crisper – more than ever before. Conversations and listening become effortless. Oh, and they’re so tiny, they’re practically invisible. No wonder over 425,000 customers love them.

How to build full apps from scratch in minutes for free
Google recently released Firebase Studio, an app that lets you build, modify, and deploy any app using natural language, all in one place — and, unlike alternatives like Cursor and Bolt, it’s completely free.
Go to the Firebase Studio website and sing in with your Google account.
Enter your prompt
For example: 'Create an app that turns a theme or topic into a mind map.'
Firebase Studio will create a feature list, choose a color palette, and decide on a layout and animation.
You can edit these, and once you're satisfied, click ‘Prototype this App.’
Wait a few seconds, and once the prototype is ready, you can start testing it.
You can make changes to the design, fix issues, and add features all just through chat, using natural language.
When done, export the code or deploy it directly with Firebase Studio.
