More JUICE! GPT-5.2 was launched last week, and this is the first model built with the new datacenters using the latest NVIDIA Blackwell chipsets. GPT-5.2 beats over 70% of human experts in office tasks in the GDPval benchmark, it hallucinates 30% less than GPT-5, and it can use it’s entire 400kb context window for extreme…

In fall 2001 I got my first Apple computer, the Titanium PowerBook G4, and I have since then owned and used many Mac computers and PCs throughout the years. Even if I have not always felt aligned with the design decisions Apple were making, at least you could feel that there was a strong design…

The past week I have had lots of fun creating complex drawings in the style of Jan Van Haasteren and in the style of Middle-earth travel guides with Google’s latest image generation model Nano Banana Pro. This is the first time I have really felt that an image generator not only understands what I am…

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. Without…

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. It’s cute, it has a connection with both “Mi”crosoft and “Co”pilot and the visual avatar…

Are we in an AI bubble? In some ways I think we are. Every company that sells an AI-powered service needs to pay for API access to Anthropic, Google or OpenAI to deliver value. This includes companies like Cursor, Lovable, Microsoft, and thousands more. The challenge with this business model is that the regular models…

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…
