ChatGPT on Mac now has record mode: Here's how to use it
This new feature allows users to easily summarise and capture key insights from meetings and voice notes, streamlining their workflow. Earlier it was only available for Edu, Enterprise and Team users. However, now OpenAI has made it available for individual Mac users with Plus subscriptions.
The record mode lets users transcribe system audio, including meetings and voice notes that can be later summarised as notes. The feature was rolled out on July 16. 'Plus users, the mic is yours. Record mode is now available to ChatGPT Plus users globally in the macOS desktop app,' the company said on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.
This feature introduces a small round button within the ChatGPT macOS app. When switched on, it listens to the system's local audio, including meetings and voice memos. This does not need the system to join a call or online meeting as a participant. Later, it uploads the audio on OpenAI's server, which transcribes and structures it into text.
The transcripts are arranged by ChatGPT into canvases that are kept in the chat history. The purpose of the tool is to transform passive audio input into actionable summaries. With the model processing audio locally before uploading, note-taking is made seamless. However, user discretion is recommended.
The transcripts can be used as emails, project plans, or even code. To provide responses that are more contextually aware, OpenAI claims that ChatGPT can consult previous canvases and transcripts.
The user can also manually make changes to the summary of key notes provided by ChatGPT.
OpenAI has been rolling out its technologies in quick succession lately. Earlier this week, the company launched its powerful ChatGPT agent that can automate complex tasks. It is capable of a range of tasks, including web browsing to create presentations. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT agent is a tool that can perform any task for the user through its virtual computer.

Battlefield 6 Open Beta likely to drop in early August; players join the hype with mixed emotions: ‘Can't wait'
After months of speculation and leaks, EA finally confirmed the Battlefield 6 open beta, marking its first drop in the public. Finally, fans and players waiting long for the game will get the opportunity to try their hands on the highly anticipated shooter. According to the Game Fragger, an official post has been issued from the Battlefield X (formerly called Twitter) account, suggesting that the upcoming open beta will include both the traditional class-locked weapons and the controversial open weapon system will be introduced in the upcoming title. Moreover, this hybrid model looks like EA's response to long-running community debates over the game's core identity and whether the franchise should go back to its original expertise or forge ahead with modern trials. When is the Battlefield 6 open beta releasing? (Expected Date) According to Game Rant, the Open Beta era of Battlefield 6's playtesting is expected to start around early August. Along with the upcoming title, the release is also seeing a huge amount of potential praise and criticism. The exact date hasn't been confirmed yet, but fans have uncovered the API data suggesting the Battlefield 6 open beta could begin as soon as August 4th. The date lines up with earlier EA betas, which usually used to last between 3 and 10 days and allow for preloads that were roughly around 24 hours ahead of the launch. Potential leak date reveals the game can arrive in a week As per the Game Fragger report, apart from the expected date, a separate leak has also pointed to a July 29 worldwide reveal and official announcement, which is likely going to be EA's upcoming three-day event. This event could also finally confirm the name Battlefield 6 that was leaked through a promotional package. On the other hand, one of the most polarising changes in the recent Battlefield titles has been the shift towards the open weapon systems, allowing any class to use any weapon. Well, here's a list of expected release dates based on the past entries: An open beta duration of 3-10 days Optional pre-load a day early. A mix of maps, vehicles, and limited-time playlists Early sign-ups once EA drops the full reveal Open Weapons vs Closed WeaponsWhy not both?Starting at Open Beta players can choose official playlists with Signature Weapons locked to class, or to come. Players can't keep reactions and memes around Battlefield 6 Players have been pushed back hard, demanding a return to the series' classic formula where weapon loadouts were tied to particular roles such as Assault, Support, or Recon. Notably, the news has left fans and netizens talking about it. One X (formerly called Twitter) wrote, "I still remember every minute of the beta. Can't wait." While another added, "Wdym open beta is in early August we only know July 29-31 being the reveal." "Bro you gotta link your source and if it's not official you're obligated to say "rumored". So where's the source?," one said. $PSYOP has entered the battlefield 🪂It's not just a token — it's a full-blown operation 🧠The airdrop is think. Don't blink.

Google and OpenAI's AI models win milestone gold at global math competition
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Alphabet's Google and OpenAI said their artificial-intelligence models won gold medals at a global mathematics competition , signaling a breakthrough in math capabilities in the race to build powerful systems that can rival human intelligence. The results marked the first time that AI systems crossed the gold-medal scoring threshold at the International Mathematical Olympiad for high-school students. Both companies' models solved five out of six problems, achieving the result using general-purpose "reasoning" models that processed mathematical concepts using natural language, in contrast to the previous approaches used by AI achievement suggests AI is less than a year away from being used by mathematicians to crack unsolved research problems at the frontier of the field, according to Junehyuk Jung, a math professor at Brown University and visiting researcher in Google's DeepMind AI unit."I think the moment we can solve hard reasoning problems in natural language will enable the potential for collaboration between AI and mathematicians," Jung told breakthrough was achieved with a new experimental model centered on massively scaling up "test-time compute." This was done by both allowing the model to "think" for longer periods and deploying parallel computing power to run numerous lines of reasoning simultaneously, according to Noam Brown, researcher at OpenAI. Brown declined to say how much in computing power it cost OpenAI, but called it "very expensive."To OpenAI researchers, it is another clear sign that AI models can command extensive reasoning capabilities that could expand into other areas beyond optimism is shared by Google researchers, who believe AI models' capabilities can apply to research quandaries in other fields such as physics, said Jung, who won an IMO gold medal as a student in the 630 students participating in the 66th IMO on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, 67 contestants, or about 11%, achieved gold-medal scores. Google's DeepMind AI unit last year achieved a silver medal score using AI systems specialized for math. This year, Google used a general-purpose model called Gemini Deep Think, a version of which was previously unveiled at its annual developer conference in previous AI attempts that relied on formal languages and lengthy computation, Google's approach this year operated entirely in natural language and solved the problems within the official 4.5-hour time limit, the company said in a blog post. OpenAI, which has its own set of reasoning models, similarly built an experimental version for the competition, according to a post by researcher Alexander Wei on social media platform X. He noted that the company does not plan to release anything with this level of math capability for several year marked the first time the competition coordinated officially with some AI developers, who have for years used prominent math competitions like IMO to test model capabilities. IMO judges certified the results of those companies, including Google, and asked them to publish results on July 28."We respected the IMO Board's original request that all AI labs share their results only after the official results had been verified by independent experts and the students had rightly received the acclamation they deserved," Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said on X on which published its results on Saturday and first claimed gold-medal status, said in an interview that it had permission from an IMO board member to do so after the closing ceremony on competition on Monday allowed cooperating companies to publish results, Gregor Dolinar, president of IMO's board, told Reuters.
