Stronger performance on coding and multi-step tasks
Supports text and vision inputs
Designed for agent-style workflows with tool use and planning
Available via APIs on Z.AI with standard and streaming support

2) ChatGPT now gives you a yearly recap

🚀 Quick Take:
OpenAI is rolling out a year-end recap inside ChatGPT, showing how you used the tool over the year.
Think of it as Spotify Wrapped, but for your chats.
📝 What’s New:
A new “Your Year with ChatGPT” recap is rolling out
Available to users with chat history and memory enabled
Works for Free, Plus, and Pro users
Shows playful stats, small highlights, and creative extras
Appears on the home screen but doesn’t auto-open
Team, Enterprise, and Education plans are excluded
🧠 Why It Matters:
This is less about stats and more about habit building.
In short:
Makes ChatGPT feel more personal and fun
Encourages users to keep memory and history on
Signals ChatGPT is becoming a long-term companion, not just a tool
Bottom line: OpenAI wants ChatGPT to feel like something you grow with, not just something you use.
