OpenAI released Custom Dictionary feature for Codex and ChatGPT.

Users will be able to add their common phrases and abbreviations so they are properly recognized during voice dictation.

As a heavy voice-dictation user, this is the main feature that made me pay for a separate AI voice-dictation app.

Everything app 👀

This also means we will see custom voices on Grok soon. I hope they won't be restricted to the US only.

Google is testing new Omni model for video generation ahead of I/O

GOOGLE I/O 🚨: A NEW OMNI MODEL IS BEING TESTED ON GEMINI FOR VIDEO GENERATION!

> "Start with an idea or try a template. Powered by Omni."

> This is a new leaked headline from the video generation tab on Gemini.

> Omni appears close to "Toucan", an internal name of the current video generation tool powered by Veo.

> If Google plans to release Gemini Omni for video generation, it would likely outperform Veo 3.1.

> If true (as it is still highly speculative), Gemini will be the first top-tier Omni model with video output!

Google I/O 2026 will be hot 🔥
