Chinese startup DeepSeek has released two new AI models—DeepSeek‑V3.2 and DeepSeek‑V3.2‑Speciale—under an open-source license. The models claim performance comparable to GPT‑5 and Gemini 3 Pro on long‑form reasoning, tool use, and dense problem solving while offering a 128,000‑token context window and reduced computational cost through Sparse Attention. Their launch challenges the dominance of U.S. AI firms, sparks regulatory scrutiny in Europe, and raises questions about the future of AI accessibility and geopolitics. Read more →

OpenAI has reduced the daily free allowance for its Sora video‑generation model to six generations per user, while Google has removed the five‑prompt‑per‑day cap on Gemini 3 Pro and limited Nano Banana Pro image generation to two images per day for free accounts. Paid tiers remain unchanged. Both companies cite soaring GPU demand as the reason for the tighter limits, signaling a broader shift toward monetizing high‑cost AI services. Read more →

OpenAI and Google have reduced the free‑user generation caps for their AI services Sora and Nano Banana Pro, citing overwhelming demand. OpenAI now limits free users to six video generations per day, while Google has cut image generations to two per day, down from three. Both companies note the limits may change without notice and emphasize that paying users retain unchanged access. The moves are presented as part of broader efforts to manage resource strain and explore monetization options. Read more →

Google has reduced the daily free quota for its Nano Banana Pro image‑generation model, limiting users to two images per day instead of three. The company cites "high demand" for the feature and notes that limits may change frequently. Similar restrictions now apply to the free tier of Gemini 3 Pro, which previously offered five free prompts per day. Paid subscribers to Google AI Pro or AI Ultra retain their higher limits of 100 and 500 prompts daily, respectively. The move mirrors earlier actions by OpenAI, which temporarily withheld free image generation after overwhelming usage. Read more →

Opera’s experimental browser Neon has added a rapid research mode that generates citation‑backed mini‑reports in about a minute. The update also lets users switch between major AI models such as Google’s Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro without losing context, and enhances the “Do” agent to create and edit Google Docs directly. These tools aim to streamline online research and task automation for power users, positioning the browser as a more active interface for AI‑driven web interactions. Read more →

Anthropic announced the launch of Opus 4.5, its newest flagship model, touting better coding performance, smoother user experiences, and smarter context handling. The model achieved an 80.9 percent accuracy score on the SWE‑Bench Verified benchmark, edging out OpenAI's GPT‑5.1‑Codex‑Max and Google’s Gemini 3 Pro. In consumer apps, Claude now summarizes earlier conversation points instead of abruptly ending sessions when the context window is exceeded, improving continuity for users and developers alike.
