The Latest Developments in AI
MAI-Image-1 is Microsoft’s first in-house text-to-image generator that's already cracked the top 10 on LMArena benchmarks. Microsoft's been relying on external models, but MAI-Image-1 excels at photorealistic outputs and signals the company's push for AI self-sufficiency.
Broadcom's partnering with OpenAI to design proprietary accelerators, aiming to break Nvidia's stranglehold on AI computing. OpenAI joins Google, Amazon, and Microsoft in the “build your own chips” club. The idea? Custom silicon beats paying Nvidia's premiums and waiting in supply queues.
Slack's upgrading its bot into an AI that can plan, schedule, search files, and perform complex tasks through conversation. The new version will run in AWS's private cloud for security and launches by December. Slackbot might just turn the thing everyone mutes into something that’s actually helpful.

Wispr Flow – Type 4× faster than your fingers
150 Years of Typing. Finally Over.
You talk way faster than you type. Everyone does. So why doesn’t everyone use voice detection? Because it’s never been reliable: clunky transcripts and endless corrections.
Not anymore. Wispr Flow works so well you'll want to ditch your keyboard for good:
Available wherever you work: Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
AI auto-edits filler words and fixes formatting as you speak.
Zero setup required and works almost instantly everywhere.
Type 4× faster than your fingers can across every application.
Personal dictionary learns unique words and gets smarter with use.
We use Wispr Flow at TAAFT and love it! It’s super fast, saves us tons of time, and is always one tap away. Plus, it gets smarter the more you use it. 👍👍 from us!

Mind-Blowing AI
Ever dreamed of picking up a new language the way you'd actually use it, in real conversations? Then you've got to check out Langua!
Think of it as your smart language buddy who never sleeps. And here's the cool part: the voices are so natural that you'll forget you're talking to a computer. You can roleplay scenarios, debate topics, practice vocab drills, whatever you need. It keeps things flowing smoothly while sneaking in corrections and explanations right when you mess up (in the nicest way possible). And when you stumble across a word you love? Just save it. Later, you can revisit them through fun stories that actually stick. 🗣️📚
