Last week Google finally launched their long-awaited model Gemini 3 Pro, together with the outstanding new Nano Banana Pro “image processor”. I’m not even sure what I should call Nano Banana Pro, it can do things with images I didn’t think was possible, and looking at the things it can produce it really gives you…

The past few months I have talked to several large companies with old legacy systems that need to be modernized. The question most of them have is: when can we start using AI to migrate all our old code into a modern Java or C# tech stacks? For complex systems I do not think AI…

Last week was one of the lowest-activity AI weeks in a while, but I predict the activity will ramp up significantly in the next couple of weeks. Google is planning to release Gemini 3 Pro very soon which is looking to be a real powerhouse with a 1 million token context window and unmatched agentic capabilities. Unmatched,…

Last week Cursor, Cognition and Canva announced their own custom foundation models to reduce their dependencies of Anthropic, Google and OpenAI. Being dependent on other companies AI models to do their processing, the more features these SaaS companies add to their products the harder it will be to negotiate pricing with the model providers.

Mico. This is one of the best names I have heard in a long time coming from Microsoft. After a series of mediocre names like Zune, Bing and Cortana, Mico, the name of the new Copilot avatar, is just brilliant.

Things were so much easier just six months ago! In April 2025 the comparison between Microsoft 365 Copilot and ChatGPT was easy. Two fairly simple chatbots that both used the GPT-4o model as their foundation. Many companies picked Copilot, reading through the specifications the differences were few, and you also got additional benefits such as…

The biggest news last week was undoubtedly the launch of OpenAI Sora 2. You need an invite code to try it, but if you have it you’re in for a world of fun. If you haven’t already seen Sora 2 in action, do yourself a favor and spend 2 minutes watching The Quack short movie…

Just how good are today’s state-of-the-art AI models at doing normal office work? To test this, OpenAI just introduced GDPval, a new benchmark focusing on AI model performance on real work tasks, tested against professionals with 14 years of experience. Last year’s best model, GPT-4o, was only better than humans in 13.7% of all tests.…

How many days would it take a full team to rebuild the entire application Apple Notes? And then add the best features from other note taking applications like Bear and Evernote to it, maybe also sprinkle it with dozens of new innovative features, translate it to eight languages and make sure the app runs on…
