X is the best way I’ve found to keep up with AI. I like tweets throughout the week, filtering for things I think are actually worth knowing. I use Claude Code to pull those likes automatically and help me turn them into this post (here’s how the pipeline works). This week: 148 tweets liked, filtered down to what’s below. Check out the previous roundup (May 2) if you missed it. AI for Everyone GPT-5.5 Instant Becomes the ChatGPT Default for Everyone (5 mentions) OpenAI started rolling GPT-5.5 Instant on May 5 as the default model for every ChatGPT user (also available in the API as gpt-5.5-chat-latest). The pitch is meaningful improvements in factuality, especially in medicine, law, and finance, plus a noticeable shift toward shorter, less padded answers. The memory update is the part worth digging into: ChatGPT can now use your saved memories, past chats, files, and a connected Gmail to personalize responses, and a new “memory sources” panel shows exactly what it pulled from so you can edit or delete entries. A full-duplex voice mode is coming, where the model can listen and speak at the same time. The companion OpenRouter cost analysis is the catch: short-prompt workloads are about 92% more expensive on GPT-5.5 than GPT-5.4. (source: @OpenAI, @OpenAI, @OpenAI) ...

AI for Everyone ElevenMusic Launches With Creator Payouts (7 mentions) ElevenLabs shipped ElevenMusic, a platform where you discover independent artists, remix tracks, and create songs from a prompt. The economic model has evidence behind it: ElevenLabs has paid out $11M to voice creators through its voice library and is bringing the same revenue share to music. Over 4,000 artists are on the platform at launch, and the Eleven Album Vol. 2 dropped alongside it. The same week added a Voice Changer Skill for ElevenLabs Agents that transforms voice in real time while preserving emotion and timing. (source: @ElevenLabs, @ElevenLabsDevs) ...

Same per-token latency as GPT-5.4, meaningfully smarter on knowledge work, research, and writing. OpenAI is calling it their smartest and most intuitive model yet, and the early reactions back the claim up. One team at Chai tested it on huge spreadsheets (100K to 1M+ cells) and called it the Pareto frontier for that work: best accuracy, fastest, most efficient. OpenAI also slipped a line into their announcement that I think will age well: “the last few years have been surprisingly slow.” They’re telling you the release pace is about to get a lot faster.

Pricing held steady at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output. What changed is how the model spends those tokens: it thinks longer before answering and double-checks itself more aggressively. Vision is the part I didn’t see coming. Opus 4.7 now accepts images up to 2,576 pixels on the long edge, triple what prior Claude models took, which actually matters for diagrams, slides, and UI screenshots. If you’ve been running 4.6 for long tasks, swap the model ID and give it something harder. (source: @claudeai, @claudeai, @bcherny) ...

The 26B version uses mixture-of-experts, only activating 4 billion parameters at a time, so it runs on a 24GB Mac Mini. It scores 79.2% on GPQA Diamond, which puts it in the same neighborhood as Claude Sonnet 4.6’s 74.1% standard score (though Sonnet hits 89.9% with max-effort reasoning). Four sizes from edge mobile to 31B dense, 256K context, multimodal input, 140+ languages. ollama run gemma4:26b and you’re running a competitive model locally for free. I’ve been waiting for an open model this good. (source: @GoogleDeepMind, @PawelHuryn, @ollama) ...

Kick off a task from your phone via Dispatch, walk away, come back to finished work. It’s slower than a human on purpose. Best for repetitive stuff that doesn’t have an API: copying data between apps, filling out web forms, clicking through legacy software. It tries connected apps (Slack, Calendar) first and only grabs screen control when needed. macOS now, Windows in a few weeks. (source: @claudeai, @felixrieseberg) ...

AI for Everyone Claude Opus 4.6 Gets 1M Context Window at No Extra Cost Anthropic dropped the long-context surcharge. 1M tokens is now standard for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, same price as any other request. Feed in an entire codebase, a stack of PDFs, hundreds of images. For Claude Code users on Max, Team, or Enterprise, it’s already the default. Benchmark that matters: 78.3% on MRCR v2 at 1M tokens, best-in-class. (source: @claudeai, @bcherny, @ClaudeCodeLog) ...

Check out the previous roundup (Feb 26) if you missed it. AI for Everyone GPT-5.4 Is Here, and It Can Control Your Computer OpenAI launched GPT-5.4 this week. Codex-level coding merged with GPT-5.2-level reasoning, native computer use, and a 1M-token context window, all in one model. You can steer it mid-response. It’s live in ChatGPT (as GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro), in the API, and rolling into Microsoft Copilot Studio. If you want to try it for coding, download the Codex app. You used to need a dedicated Codex model, but 5.4 handles it all. You still need to select a reasoning level. ...
