2025 Generative AI Update

We’re just a few days away from our second annual Hot GPT Summer Gen AI update. And we want you to sign up! Why? It’s free. And we will be discussing the biggest trends in generative AI in 2025.

Here’s what we will be discussing:

New LLMs: In the first half of 2025, we’ve seen new LLMs from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and more.

AI competition is heating up: The rat race between generative AI giants has continued, with new features launched by one platform being rapidly adopted by competitors.

Deep research everywhere: Deep research tools have popped up among various platforms. We’ll discuss their comparative pros and cons.

Legal developments: We’ve seen new developments on the legal status of the ownership of AI-generated images and the use of copyrighted works in the training of AI models.

Better images: ChatGPT’s 4o model changed the game, but new models from Midjourney and Ideogram aren’t far behind.

AI wearables: We tested the Bee Pioneer wearable device, and Meta’s AI glasses continue to grow.

Vibe coding: Suddenly we are all coders with generative AI.

Audio and video updates: We continue to see improvements in this area and will update the latest from Elevenlabs, HeyGen and more.
