Back in December, OpenAI launched its ChatGPT WhatsApp contact as part of its “12 Days of OpenAI” holiday announcements. And while this version of the chatbot is still more limited than what you get on the web or desktop, it is rolling out a useful new trick: image generation. Yep, people actually do this While the idea of texting ChatGPT over WhatsApp might seem a little odd, several WhatsApp-heavy users I’ve talked to say they love the convenience of having ChatGPT right there, without needi

Apple iOS 26 with Liquid Glass (from the Developer Beta). Jason Hiner/ZDNET Apple Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) was expected to have little AI news -- but Apple proved everyone wrong. Even though Apple has not yet launched the highly anticipated Siri upgrade -- the company said we will hear more about it in the coming year -- when it came to event time last week, Apple unveiled a slew of AI features across its devices and operating systems, including iOS, MacOS, WatchOS, and iPadOS.

CapCut is a mobile-first video editing app and has 200 million active users as of 2023, according to Time. But while its connectivity to TikTok makes it great for creators, its similar parentage means that CapCut is included in the same potential ban in the US.

You’re probably using this model if you use apps like MacWhisper to transcribe meetings or lectures, or to generate subtitles for YouTube videos.
