ChatGPT’s model picker is back, and it’s complicated

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-24 16:25:19

When OpenAI launched GPT-5 last week, the company said the model would simplify the ChatGPT experience. OpenAI hoped GPT-5 would act as a sort of “one size fits all” AI model with a router that would automatically decide how to best answer user questions. The company said this unified approach would eliminate the need for users to navigate its model picker — a long, complicated menu of AI options that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has publicly said he hates. But it looks like GPT-5 is not the unified A

What are Apple’s options for an AI acquisition beyond Perplexity?

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-12-25 03:26:30

Since Apple’s latest earnings call, talk of a potential Perplexity acquisition has quieted down (the fact that Perplexity was once again allegedly caught red-handed sidestepping content restrictions didn’t help). Meanwhile, with the ever-increasing number of engineers from its Foundation Models team jumping ship, Apple’s need for fresh talent is getting more urgent by the day. But if Perplexity is a no-go, who else could Apple buy? I used to agree with Jason Snell’s frequent argument on the Up

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 is the world's first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-25 17:05:34

Previously, if you wanted a monitor for competitive gaming, you had to choose between an IPS or VA panel to get something with a super high refresh rate or opt for a slower OLED display with richer colors and better contrast. But today, Samsung is changing that with the Odyssey OLED G6, which is the first 500Hz OLED gaming monitor in the world. Available for $1,000, the Odyssey OLED G6 (G60SF) only comes in one size (27 inches) and features a QHD resolution (2,560 x 1440) with a 16:9 aspect rat

A Bunch of Incredibly Sleazy AI Apps Are Claiming to Be Jesus Christ Himself

As ChatGPT really started to take off back in 2023, an Austin pastor made minor headlines when he used the large language model (LLM) chatbot to lead a 15-minute "shotgun sermon." The stunt was largely meant to spark a conversation about how we define "what is sacred," the pastor said at the time. Since that lesson in theological ethics, chatbots have become ubiquitous — and they no longer come with lectures.
