ChatGPT's biggest upgrade might be coming very soon
According to a report by The Verge, OpenAI might launch GPT-5 in early August. The same information was confirmed by Axios, and aligns with a recent claim by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman that the company is 'releasing GPT-5 soon.' Back in February, Sam Altman said GPT-5 would unify many of OpenAI's technologies. One of the major changes in the new model may be the addition of reasoning capabilities to the main product. Now, the o3 reasoning model is one of the various separate products that users need to specifically choose. OpenAI plans to roll out the main GPT-5 along with mini and nano variants. The main combined version and the mini GPT-5 may be available via both ChatGPT and the API, while the nano version could be limited to API access only.Aside from reducing the complexity of its user product, OpenAI also aims to combine its models to make them more capable. The company's main goal is to achieve artificial general intelligence, or AGI, which would be a vastly more capable system than the currently available models. The other strongly anticipated model from OpenAI is the company's open-weight model. After a couple of delays, the open language model might ship before the end of July. OpenAI's goal is to release it before the launch of GPT-5.The open language model may have abilities similar to the o3 mini, complete with reasoning capabilities. That would be OpenAI's first open-weight model since 2019's release of GPT-2. These types of large-language models are publicly available and can be downloaded and used freely by users. That's why OpenAI's open-weight model is expected to be available on cloud providers such as Hugging Face and Azure.People in AI tend to hype up their achievements a little too much, but I'm quite excited about OpenAI's new model. Despite fierce competition from Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, Perplexity AI, and others, ChatGPT remains the most popular and, in my opinion, the best AI product.Even now, ChatGPT is capable of some impressive feats, so any improvement would make it even better. My main issue with all AI chatbots is that they hallucinate, which is why they often generate misleading information. GPT-5 is unlikely to solve that issue, but if it manages to sound less confident when hallucinating, it'd be a step in the right direction.

New rumor claims the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will be thinner
Last week, a mega leak purported to bring us the full specs for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, and today another leak corroborates most of those specs, but has different ideas about some others. For example, today's leak says the tablet will be 5.1mm thick, vs. 5.5mm in the previous rumor. That's not a huge difference, but it is one nevertheless. The tablet is also said to boast MediaTek's Dimensity 9400+ SoC, and not the 9400. ⭕️Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 5G💥14,6 Inches 💥Dynamic AMOLED 2X,120Hz💥Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ 3nm💥4 headphones💥11,600mAh. 45w💥IP68💥WiFi 7💥Thinness 5,1mm💥12R-256G/512G16R-1T💥OneUI 8💥SPen💥Gemini &all AI features AI💥E-SIM💥13MP+8MP 💥Front 12MP 💥Gray-silver — Ahmed Qwaider (@AhmedQwaider888) August 14, 2025 It will allegedly come with 12GB of RAM with 256/512GB of storage, or 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

I may not be able to resist the Pixel 9 Pro Fold at a $600 discount, and neither should you
Look, I'm not made of money, and I'm sure many of you dear readers and friends out there have become more and more careful about your mobile tech spending in recent years or at least in recent months. But while I've never even come close to a $1,000+ smartphone purchase, I see myself faced with one of the toughest buying decisions of my life today. Can I turn down the opportunity to slash 600 bucks off the $1,799 list price of last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold? I don't think I can, and those persistent rumors calling for a tardy Pixel 10 Pro Fold release this fall only strengthen my confidence that this is the right call to make at the perfect time. 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Google Tensor G4 Processor, Android 15, Gemini, 8-Inch Foldable LTPO OLED Display with 2152 x 2076 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 6.3-Inch OLED Cover Screen with 2424 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate, 48 + 10.8 + 10.5MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 10MP Front-Facing Camera, 10MP Cover Camera, 4,650mAh Battery, Obsidian Color Buy at Amazon Obviously, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn't getting any younger, but if there's one thing that history has taught us, it's that Google knows how to keep its in-house products modern and stable from a software standpoint for years and years in a row. In the hardware department, this bad boy is undeniably still sophisticated enough (especially for its new record low price), with no less than five super-capable cameras in tow, a more than respectable Google Tensor G4 processor under the hood, and 256 gigs of internal storage space (in the entry-level configuration discounted by a whopping $600 on Amazon) that sounds more than generous enough to keep up with my digital hoarding needs. That glorious foldable screen is one of the big reasons why I don't think I can resist the Pixel 9 Pro Fold right now. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena While the Pixel 10 Pro Fold certainly sounds even more tempting, with a big battery size upgrade, modest charging technology improvement, and added "Pixelsnap" support, I don't think I'm willing to wait until October and pay and extra 600 bucks for that overall lackluster list of changes and add-ons. Now, I'll admit I haven't had the chance to spend a lot of time with a Pixel 9 Pro Fold unit myself, but I only had to take one look at those massive 8 and 6.3-inch screens in a store a little while back to realize I would buy this thing in a heartbeat at the right price. Well, that time seems to have arrived now (curiously enough, after Prime Day and months before Black Friday and Cyber Monday), and after checking out my colleague Preslav Kateliev's comprehensive Pixel 9 Pro Fold review, I'm about 99.99 percent certain that this is the best foldable for me... and many cost-conscious buyers just like me today.

Gemini update adds private Temporary Chats and smarter personalization
Google is updating the Gemini app with new features designed to make it more personal and flexible, while also giving users more ways to control their data. The update brings a new personalization setting, a Temporary Chat option, and changes to privacy controls. The new "Personal context" setting allows Gemini to remember key details from your past conversations and use them to offer more relevant suggestions. Over time, this can make exchanges feel more natural and tailored. Personal context from past chats. | Image credit — Google For example, if you have talked about your favorite comic book characters, Gemini might suggest birthday party ideas based on them. If you have asked for book recommendations before, it could point you toward similar titles. And if you have discussed making videos about Japanese culture, it might suggest related topics the next time you ask for ideas. This setting is turned on by default for users on the 2.5 Pro model in select countries, with plans to expand to more models and regions soon. However, you can turn it off at any time in the app's settings under "Personal context." The update also adds "Temporary Chat," which lets you start one-off conversations that do not affect your future results and are not saved in Gemini Apps Activity. These chats are kept for up to 72 hours so Gemini can reply and process any feedback, but they are not used to train Google's AI models. Temporary chat in Gemini. | Image credit — Google This feature is useful for discussing private topics or brainstorming ideas outside your usual interests without leaving a trace in your chat history. Google is renaming the "Gemini Apps Activity" setting to "Keep Activity." When this is on, a sample of your future uploads, such as files or photos, may be used to improve Google services. If you prefer, you can turn it off or use Temporary Chat. Keep Activity with audio and live recordings. | Image credit — Google Another control added earlier this month lets you choose whether audio, video, and screens shared with Gemini are used to improve services. This is off by default but can be switched on. These updates bring Gemini in line with competing AI assistants like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, which also offer personalization and history-free chat modes. Google's version makes these tools easy to toggle on and off, which could appeal to mobile users who want quick control. Gemini's new features could make it feel more like a personal assistant that learns your preferences, while Temporary Chat gives privacy-minded users a way to keep certain conversations off the record. The real test will be whether people are comfortable enough to keep personalization on, or if they will prefer to stick with a more private, one-off approach. Get 50% off – try it for 3 months today!
