Custom GPTs (also called “GPTs” or “Custom Assistants”) let individuals and teams create tailored versions of ChatGPT that embed instructions, reference files, tools, and workflows. They’re easy to start with but have important limitations, risks, and choices you need to know about before you design, publish, or integrate one. What is a custom GPT ? […]
LobeChat and CometAPI are two fast-moving projects in the open AI ecosystem. In September 2025 LobeChat merged a full CometAPI provider integration that makes it straightforward to call CometAPI’s unified, OpenAI-compatible endpoints from LobeChat. This article explains what LobeChat and CometAPI are, why you’d integrate them, step-by-step integration and configuration (including a ready-to-drop TypeScript provider […]
GPT-5-Codex is OpenAI’s new, engineering-focused variant of GPT-5, tuned specifically for agentic software engineering inside the Codex product family. It’s designed to take on large real-world engineering workflows: creating full projects from scratch, adding features and tests, debugging, refactors, and performing code reviews while interacting with external tools and test suites. This release represents a […]
September 15, 2025. OpenAI unveiled GPT-5-Codex, a specialized variant of GPT-5 optimized for agentic software engineering inside its Codex product. The company says the model can operate autonomously on large, complex engineering tasks for more than seven hours at a stretch, iterating on implementations, fixing failing tests, and delivering completed work with reduced human intervention. […]
MiniMax today unveiled Music 1.5 (branded in some company channels as the Conch music model), a major upgrade to its generative-audio suite that the company says extends generation length and improves vocal realism while adding fine-grained, language-style control for creators. The release positions MiniMax to push AI music beyond short clips toward complete song production […]
Midjourney v7 sharpened control over text, image references, and style transfer — and that makes color control (what designers call palette prompting) far more reliable than it used to be. Version 7 shipped with improvements to style references and image handling, plus new workflow features (Draft Mode, Omni Reference, refined style adoption) that change how […]
Seedream 4.0 — ByteDance’s newest image model — landed with a splash in the generative-AI world. It’s being hailed for professional-grade fidelity, unified generation + editing, multi-image consistency, and very fast inference times, and it’s already surfacing on partner platforms and model marketplaces. What is Seedream 4.0? Seedream 4.0 is the fourth-generation image model released […]
Anthropic’s Claude Code and the broader Claude family now give developers unprecedented control over how much the model sees and how deeply it reasons. Recent product updates (notably the Sonnet 4 1-million-token context window and Claude’s extended “thinking” controls) make context management both more powerful and more important: you can process whole repositories in a […]
Integrating a powerful automation platform like Activepieces with a unified AI access layer such as CometAPI lets teams add model-powered steps to visual workflows without writing glue code. This article explains what each product is, why you would combine them, what you must prepare, and a clear step-by-step walkthrough (using the CometAPI “piece” maintained in […]
In 2025 the AI tooling ecosystem continues to consolidate around unified APIs and visual workflow builders. CometAPI is growing as an “all models in one” developer-facing gateway (advertising access to hundreds of models), while BuildShip keeps expanding its visual workflow and node ecosystem to let teams ship backend APIs and AI workflows with low/no-code and […]
