1. OpenAI and Microsoft strike new deal: The agreement will let the ChatGPT maker restructure itself into a for-profit company, while its nonprofit keeps control, along with a stake worth over $100B. The deal still awaits regulatory approval. Meanwhile, Microsoft is also planning “significant investments” in its own AI models, signaling a diversified approach to AI that mixes internal models with partner tech.
2. New Chinese image model looks to rival ‘Nano Banana’: TikTok parent ByteDance has launched Seedream 4.0, a new AI image generation model that performs better than Google’s ‘Nano Banana’, according to some benchmarks. The model is priced competitively against ‘Nano Banana’ and is already gaining traction for movie storyboarding, photorealistic renders, and creative projects. See it in action here.
3. Claude’s new update gives the chatbot memory powers: The app can now remember previous conversations and carry context across projects automatically — but only for Team and Enterprise users. The feature helps Claude tailor responses to your team’s processes, client needs, and ongoing projects. Users can view and edit what Claude remembers, and optional incognito chats ensure private conversations aren’t stored. Admins can also disable memory at any time. See how to use the new features here.
