DeepSeek-V3.1 is a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) chat model released by DeepSeek in August 2025 that supports two inference modes — a fast “non-thinking” mode and a deliberate “thinking” mode — from the same checkpoint. The model is available on Hugging Face and can be run locally via several paths (vLLM, Ollama/llama.cpp, Ollama-style GGUFs, or large-scale […]
When people ask “Can ChatGPT watch videos?” they mean different things: do they want a chat assistant to stream and visually attend to a clip like a human would, or to analyze and summarize the content (visual scenes, spoken words, timestamps, actions)? The short answer is: yes — but with important caveats. Modern ChatGPT variants […]
In late August 2025 Google (DeepMind) released Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — widely nicknamed “nano-banana” — a low-latency, high-quality image generation + editing model that’s been integrated into the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, the Gemini API and CometAPI. It’s designed to produce photorealistic images, preserve character consistency across edits, fuse multiple input images, and […]
In a fast-moving AI landscape, the dollar figure attached to a subscription can feel both simple and complicated. At face value, ChatGPT Plus remains a single-line item on many budgets: a monthly subscription that grants faster responses, priority access to features, and use of OpenAI’s advanced models. But the story around price — what you […]
As an AI creator, I’m excited to introduce you to Nano Banana — the playful nickname for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — Google’s newest, high-fidelity image-generation and image-editing model. In this deep-dive I’ll explain what it is, how to use it (app and API), how to prompt it effectively, give concrete examples, include ready-to-run code, […]
OpenAI today announced that GPT-Realtime voice model is now available, supporting image input, marking the Realtime API’s move from beta to general availability for production voice agents. The release positions GPT-Realtime as a low-latency, speech-to-speech model that can run two-way voice conversations while also grounding responses in images supplied during a session. OpenAI describes gpt-realtime […]
Nano Banana is the community nickname (and internal shorthand) for Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — a high-quality, low-latency multimodal image generation + editing model. This long-form guide (with code, patterns, deployment steps, and CometAPI examples) shows three practical call methods you can use in production: (1) an OpenAI-compatible Chat interface (text→image), (2) Google’s official […]
August 28, 2025 — xAI today introduced Grok Code Fast 1, a coding-focused variant in the Grok family designed to prioritize low latency and low cost for IDE integrations, agentic coding workflows, and large-codebase reasoning.The model is appearing as an opt-in public preview inside GitHub Copilot (VS Code) and is also available through xAI’s API […]
Image-editing AI has moved from fun toy to actual workflow tool in months — not years. If you need to remove backgrounds, swap faces, preserve a character across shots, or do multi-step compositing with natural-language prompts, several new models promise to do it faster and with fewer manual fixes.. In this post I compare three […]
Google lately unveiled Gemini 2.5 Flash Image — a native, high-performance image generation and editing model that brings real-time, conversational image creation and precise, multi-step editing directly into the Gemini product family and developer tools. The release, described by Google as a “state-of-the-art” update to Gemini’s multimodal stack, is positioned for both consumer creativity and […]
