I was planning to share more Imagen3 leaks during the upcoming weekend but now I won't be able to do so 😭

I am officially in 👀👀👀

Not sure I've seen it reported before but it seems that @xai updated its PromptIDE help page.

It states that PromptIDE will require Premium+ and will be only available in the US initially.

The next "Bard is now Gemini in Central Africa" update for Gemini is scheduled for August 23.

P.S. This means no release on August 13 after the Google Pixel event.

Anthropic is working on Conversation Summaries 🚧

Looks like we will get a new collapsable section on the home page along with a button to generate them.

Potentially it can be a Team plan feature allowing team members to quickly catch up with what has been done by others 👀

ICYMI: Now you can bulk select and bulk delete your past conversations.

Perplexity is working on 2 new assistants 👀👀👀

1. Finance Focus mode - will query financial data from Tako service (financial data provider) directly.
2. My Files 🔥

"My Files" mode seems to be a dedicated file search feature that potentially will be available to personal and team accounts.

Currently, you can query uploaded files already from the Upload context. In the future, you may be able to query from all previously uploaded documents (an assumption).

These focus modes are not yet available for public use.

Lol, Grok has an easter egg if you prompt it with a "wen agi" on its standalone version (doesn't work on X Grok).

OpenAI released Companion window support on ChatGPT for MacOS.

Now, chats from a quick access bar (opt + space) will open in a separate "companion" window instead of a main app by default.

According to the release notes:

There are new shortcuts for quickly pasting screenshots from the main desktop and the active window.

There is also a mention of "@ mentions" support but I never had it working, let's see if it will be enabled.

Bonus: "Improved performance when streaming chat responses." 🔥

ICYMI: Perplexity has a Bookmarks button 👀

There you can easily save your searches into a Bookmarks collection. If you do it for the first time, a new "Bookmarks" collection will be created 🔖

A new Anonymous GPT-4 based model seems to be better at writing a bit (responses are more humanised). But I had the same impression from Google’s Eureka (which I am still not sure if it was already released) 👀👀👀

ICYMI: you can spot it on lmsys arena in the battle mode 🤖
