ChatGPT (and services built on OpenAI’s models) do not have mystical GPS access inside the model itself. Instead, user location is established by a combination of network-level metadata (IP addresses), explicit device/browser permissions (the Geolocation API or mobile OS location services), information the user types into chat, and — in some cases — third-party plugins […]
OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman publicly stated that an average ChatGPT query uses ≈0.000085 gallons of water (about 0.32 milliliters, roughly one-fifteenth of a teaspoon) and ≈0.34 watt-hours of electricity per query. That per-query figure, when multiplied at scale, becomes meaningful but remains far smaller than many prior alarmist headlines claimed — provided you accept Altman’s […]
In mid-2025 OpenAI released ChatGPT agent mode — a capability that lets ChatGPT not just answer, but plan and carry out multi-step tasks using a virtual workspace (browsing, file manipulation, code execution and connector APIs). ChatGPT Agent Mode moves ChatGPT from a passive assistant that tells you what to do into an active assistant that […]
As ChatGPT continues to evolve, one of the most practical features for everyday users is the ability to archive and later retrieve past conversations. Archiving keeps your workspace tidy without permanently deleting content you may need later, and recent product changes — including expanded memory options and new safety/parental controls — make it more important […]
Agent Mode is OpenAI’s move to turn ChatGPT from a conversational assistant into an action-taking digital worker: an AI that can reason, browse, run code, manipulate files, and take step-wise actions on your behalf inside a controlled, sandboxed environment. Rather than only answering questions or drafting text, an agent can autonomously execute multi-step tasks — […]
On September 30, 2025, OpenAI unveiled Sora 2, the next-generation text-to-video and audio model and a companion social application called Sora. The release represents OpenAI’s most visible push yet into generative video: an attempt to bring the kind of rapid, creative iteration that ChatGPT brought to text into short-form video, while packaging the capability inside […]
The tools for making a custom action figure have changed dramatically in the past few years. ChatGPT—now an image-capable, multimodal assistant—can be the creative engine that takes a concept from idea to printable 3D file when combined with the emerging class of text-to-3D, mesh-processing, and fabrication services. This article explains a professional, end-to-end workflow you […]
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 ? […]
GPT-5 is a family and a unified reasoning system that OpenAI ships in multiple variants for different workloads; gpt-5-chat (often seen as gpt-5-chat-latest) is the chat-tuned, non-reasoning variant that powers quick conversational responses in ChatGPT and is exposed to developers as a distinct API model. They share architecture and training lineage, but they are tuned, […]
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 […]
