OpenAI Rolls Out Canvas to All ChatGPT Users

OpenAI has officially made its Canvas tool available to everyone, removing the previous Plus subscription requirement and adding new features.

Details:

  • This collaborative editor allows users to work alongside ChatGPT on both text and code, offering a seamless experience for real-time Python execution and document editing.

  • The tool now includes a built-in Python emulator, enabling users to run code and view results instantly, including graphical outputs.

  • ChatGPT can highlight text, add comments, and suggest changes that users can accept or reject.

  • Canvas now integrates with Custom GPTs. Developers can set Canvas as the default tool for their Custom GPTs

Canvas offers a powerful space to work smarter with ChatGPT and is a great addition to help OpenAI’s chatbot maintain its lead as the most popular AI tool.

TOGETHER WITH RYSE

This smart home company grew 200% month-over-month…

No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, a leader in smart shade automation, and you can invest for just $1.75 per share.

RYSE’s innovative SmartShades have already transformed how people control their window coverings, bringing automation to homes without the need for expensive replacements. With 10 fully granted patents and a game-changing Amazon court judgment protecting their tech, RYSE is building a moat in a market projected to grow 23% annually.

This year alone, RYSE has seen revenue grow by 200% month-over-month and expanded into 127 Best Buy locations, with international markets on the horizon. Plus, with partnerships with major retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s already in the works, they’re just getting started.

Now is your chance to invest in the company disrupting home automation—before they hit their next phase of explosive growth. But don’t wait; this opportunity won’t last long.

Google Wants the FTC to Dismantle Microsoft's Exclusive Cloud Hosting Deal with OpenAI

Google has reportedly urged the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to break up Microsoft’s exclusive agreement to host OpenAI’s technology on its cloud servers.

Details:

  • Google has asked the FTC to investigate and dissolve Microsoft’s exclusive deal with OpenAI, citing unfair advantages in the cloud services market.

  • The report suggests that companies using OpenAI's technology through Microsoft may face extra charges if they don't already use Microsoft's servers, with Google and other competitors arguing that these costs will harm customers.

  • Tech companies competing with Microsoft in cloud services want to host OpenAI's models so their customers don't need to access Microsoft servers to use the startup's technology.

This development comes as OpenAI is reportedly in talks to remove a clause preventing Microsoft from accessing its most advanced models once it achieves Artificial General Intelligence. The change would allow OpenAI to continue receiving investment from Microsoft after reaching AGI.
