Hardware and Technologies July 10, 2026, 11:36 AMUsers of ChatGPT Atlas will get shutdown instructions in the coming days, as OpenAI prepares to retire the Mac browser on August 9, 2026. The company launched Atlas on Mac in October 2025, so the product's run will end in less than a year. According to OpenAI, the reason is product consolidation: the company now wants users to rely on a single desktop ChatGPT app instead of juggling several separate tools.

ChatGPT’s Creators Just Updated Their Image Generator, and Suddenly Midjourney and Nano Banana Feel Obsolete
Hardware and Technologies April 21, 2026, 04:43 PMThe neural network from the team behind ChatGPT just got an update that turns it from a geeky toy into a real workhorse. Before, AI would either draw beautifully but mess up the details, or sloppily but get the text right. Now, it seems they’ve found the sweet spot: the model delivers images with no “extra fingers” or wonky lettering, and most importantly — it actually understands what “put this text in the bottom right corner” means. -

Hardware and Technologies February 20, 2026, 11:21 AMAsking a neural network to come up with a complex password might seem like a logical solution.
