ChatGPT is getting a desktop app, but only for Mac

OpenAI announced on Monday that ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot, would get a desktop app. But if you're a Windows user, don't get too excited — it'll just be for Macs, at least for the time being.

The announcement came during a highly anticipated livestream, during which OpenAI unveiled GPT-4o, its new model that combines text, vision, and audio.

When will OpenAI's GPT-4o be available to try?

Today, OpenAI announced GPT-4o, an AI assistant that can process text, audio, and vision simultaneously. GPT4o will be free for all ChatGPT users, but the company hasn't been clear when folks will be able to try it out.

2024 iPad Pro benchmarks blow every PC we've tested for past 6 months — except one

I tested the new iPad Pro, packed with the new M4 chip, and I'm floored.

Revealed at Apple's "Let Loose" livestream event, the iPad Pro skipped a whole generation of chips (i.e., the M3 series) in favor of the brand-spankin' new M4 chip.

When Apple boasted that the M4 iPad Pro would deliver a significant gen-over-gen performance increase, I didn't really understand the gravity of the iPad Pro's uptick in processing prowess. But now that I tested it for myself, I can't believe my eyes.

Apple iPad Pro 2024 (13-inch) review: The battery life is bonkers

Apple unfurled a proverbial middle finger at rivals after it revealed the new 2024 iPad Pro.

I got a savage whiff of the M4 chip inside this premium tablet — and all I can think is, "If this is what the M4 can do for the iPad Pro, the next M4 MacBook is going to be a problem!"

Apple iPad Air 2024 (13-inch) review: More space for the 'I use it as a laptop' folks

Come to mama! The 13-inch iPad Air, packed with the new M2 chip, is finally here — and it's about time. I've been waiting nearly two years for a refresh.

However, I wish there was more. It's like when someone tells you they've been working on a novel for two years, and you finally read it, and you're like, "That's it?" It doesn't quite meet your expectations as far as excitement and thrill goes, but I get it. The iPad Air isn't meant to cause too much pomp and circumstance: it'd steal the...

Independent presidential candidate and anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is suing Meta for allegedly violating the First Amendment and engaging in “election interference” because it removed a video about him.

The lawsuit is not likely to advance far, considering that the First Amendment bars the government — not companies — from censoring speech. Plus, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act...
