1.đź§ GPT-5 Puts a PhD in Your Pocket

GPT-5 isn’t just smarter—it’s a full-on upgrade to your brainpower on demand.
With Pro users getting the top-tier GPT-5 Pro for sharper coding, writing, research, and even health advice, plus lighter mini and nano versions for casual use, it’s built for everyone.
This isn’t a minor tweak. It’s a leap toward having a personal PhD-level expert in your pocket 24/7.

2.đź§ Apple Puts Brain Control on the iPad

Apple just showed an iPad being controlled entirely by thought.
Using a brain implant called the Stentrode—placed in a blood vessel near the brain—a person with ALS opened apps, navigated menus, and typed messages without moving a muscle.
The company is building native support for this through a new brain-control protocol.
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s live. Devices are moving without a single finger on the screen.

3. 🤖OpenAI’s Secret Device Could Change Everything

OpenAI is quietly assembling a dream team of hardware engineers—mechanical designers, wireless charging pros, and more—to build what they’re calling the world’s most innovative mobile device.
No one’s spilling exactly what it’ll be, but with Sam Altman teaming up with design icon Jony Ive, the stakes feel sky-high.
Is this a phone? A wearable? Something completely new?
