Dev tools and AI utilities dominate today — a self-hosted CRM, on-device transcription for Mac, and several AI-powered coding tools.
Massive day — OpenAI dropped GPT-Image-2 and it's a leap, Google shipped Deep Research Max, and Anthropic quietly started pulling Claude Code from the Pro plan.
OpenAI officially launched GPT-Image-2 with a live stream today. The model now reasons before drawing — self-reviewing and iterating on its own outputs for up to 11 minutes until satisfied. It jumped to #1 on the text-to-image Arena leaderboard by a wide margin.
Native 2K resolution, reliable typography in dense compositions, multi-image consistency, and photorealistic quality that's stunned the community. Available to all ChatGPT users; reasoning-enhanced mode for Plus/Pro.
Quick hits — new models, tools, and industry moves.
GenAI — useful ComfyUI workflow tools this week. GPT-Image-2 is dominating conversation, but the local gen community keeps shipping.
Good batch of Mac utilities today — live wallpapers, a port monitor, and a Spotlight-style AI assistant with MCP support.
