ChatGPT is testing a mysterious new feature called ‘study together’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-08-30 08:53:30

In Brief Some ChatGPT subscribers are reporting a new feature appearing in their drop-down list of available tools called “Study Together.” The mode is apparently the chatbot’s way of becoming a better educational tool. Rather than providing answers to prompts, some say it asks more questions and requires the human to answer, like OpenAI’s answer to Google’s LearnLM. Some also wonder whether it will have a mode where more than one human can join the chat in a study group mode. OpenAI did not r

‘Rick and Morty’ Let Zack Snyder and James Gunn Fight Over Superman

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-30 11:20:38

“Ricker Than Fiction,” the latest episode of Rick and Morty, felt in some ways like a throwback to season four episode “Never Ricking Morty,” which similarly interrogated the storytelling process. But instead of a “Story Train” and characters with distressingly overdeveloped abs, we got a “Movie-Lizer” (a Rick invention designed to right the wrongs of the show’s in-universe “Maximum Velocitree” blockbuster franchise) and the distressingly overdeveloped biceps of one Zack Snyder.

Waymo kicked off two “road trips” to Philadelphia and New York City on Monday, signaling the Alphabet-owned company’s interest in expanding into Northeastern cities. Waymo’s branded “road trips” don’t necessarily signal a commercial launch anytime soon. Waymo has announced several other road trips this year, including to Houston, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Diego, and San Antonio.

OpenAI has again confirmed that it will unify multiple models into one and create GPT-5, which is expected to ship sometime in the summer. ChatGPT currently has too many capable models for different tasks. While the models are powerful, it can be confusing because all models have identical names. But another issue is that OpenAI maintains an "o" lineup for reasoning capabilities, while the 4o and other models have multi-modality.
