Both models produce near-instant responses to queries, but can turn to reasoning and thinking for more demanding requests.
World’s best on coding?
Anthropic claims Opus is «the world’s best coding model,» and it edges out Gemini 2.5 Pro, o3 and GTP 4.1 on SWE-bench Verified, but cannot surpass OpenAI’s o3 on certain PhD-level benchmarks, according to TechCrunch.

In it, Google explains how it can make Gemini and search better by tailoring responses to the vast data Google keeps on you from prior searches, docs in Google Drive — and even your past emails in Gmail.
All of this data is under Google’s control and is infinitely searchable by an AI, which won’t have to spend much time to get to know you «better.»

The glasses pair with Gemini on your phone, has an in-lens display, camera, ear buds and microphones and can show you your Android apps.
More importantly, though, is the integration with the AI. The glasses become Gemini’s eyes and ears and will see all you see and listen to conversations around you.

This should let websites easily tune into the revolution of AI search, allowing for natural language processing right from the search bar, says Microsoft.
Natural language process as revolution
This is fourth revolution in computers, says Ramanathan V. Guha, a technical fellow at Microsoft, — being able to communicate with applications, and computers in general, with free-form language, to The Verge.

OpenAI’s Agents Research Lead, Josh Tobin tells TechCrunch that the company wants software agents to complete tasks autonomously that would otherwise take hours or days to finish, in anything from one to thirty minutes, and OpenAI is already using the model to offload repetitive tasks.

One of those is the significant progress it is having during testing of an AI chatbot version of Apple’s personal Siri assistant, developed by a team in Zurich.
MacRumors reports that Apple is testing a completely new architecture — not the current patchwork Siri that punts to ChatGPT — but a standalone LLM designed to eventually replace Siri outright.

In a May 15 on-stage interview with Cadence CEO Anirudh Devgan at CadenceLIVE 2025, Huang reflected on the future of chip design—and offered a glimpse into how cutting-edge companies are thinking about AI’s next phase.
Much like how software engineers today increasingly rely on AI coding tools—and soon, autonomous agents—Huang envisions every chip and systems engineer being supported by “assistant chip designers” that help with everyday tasks:

— AlphaEvolve is a Gemini-powered AI coding agent that is able to make new discoveries in computing and mathematics, says Matej Balog, a researcher at Google DeepMind, to VentureBeat.
Google doesn’t say when the model will be available to the general public, but is planning on working with certain scientists and is «exploring» a broader release.

OpenAIs coding model was launched in the API only on April 14th, and reduced costs compared to GPT 4.5.
It also comes with a large context window of 1 million «tokens.» These are compute units that roughly translates to 750,000 words — so this model can read and output very large files or codebases.
It should be available under the model selector menu by clicking on «More models.»
UPDATE: It seems that without announcement of fanfare, free users on ChatGPT.com now get 4.1-mini as the new default model, a step up from the previous 4o-mini.
Despite some reports, GPT-4.1 does not appear to be the default for paid users—ChatGPT Plus still opens with GPT-4o as standard
By popular request, GPT-4.1 will be available directly in ChatGPT starting today.
GPT-4.1 is a specialized model that excels at coding tasks & instruction following. Because it’s faster, it’s a great alternative to OpenAI o3 & o4-mini for everyday coding needs.
