cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-25 21:00:03

ChatGPT Study Mode is a new function within the artificial intelligence chatbot that aims to give students a more natural learning experience rather than simply answering questions for them, the company announced Tuesday. Whereas typing in a question or topic into ChatGPT returns a textbook-style summary, Study Mode works with students, step by step, to help them come to the correct answer on their own. Students can chat with ChatGPT to gain better clarification on things they don't understand,

ChatGPT’s new Study Mode is designed to help you learn, not just give answers

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-25 22:00:34

The rise of large language models like ChatGPT has led to widespread concern that "everyone is cheating their way through college," as a recent New York magazine article memorably put it. Now, OpenAI is rolling out a new "Study Mode" that it claims is less about providing answers or doing the work for students and more about helping them "build [a] deep understanding" of complex topics.

Samsung DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden ‘Immersive’ mode for true full screen

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-26 03:33:17

TL;DR Samsung’s new DeX in One UI 8 has a hidden “Immersive” mode that enables a true full screen experience, hiding the app header and taskbar. To enable it, you must first maximize an app, then long-press the same maximize button to reveal a hidden menu with the “Immersive” option. This unintuitive method initially led users to believe the full screen feature was removed. Samsung made some big changes to DeX in its latest One UI 8 release.
