A lossy, probabilistic compression of the whole internet — and nothing else, by default.
The one-paragraph self-introduction that tells you exactly how to think about it.
Caffeine and cold medicine — real questions, and the exact reasoning for trusting the answer.
Tokens are a precious resource. Start a new chat the moment you switch topics.
Which brain you're using is mostly a function of what you pay — so pick deliberately.
A third training stage that lets the model stop and reason — worth the wait on hard problems.
Break the model out of the box — let it read the live web into the context window.
Search + thinking, rolled out for tens of minutes — a custom research report on demand.
Drop a PDF or paste a chapter into context, and read it alongside the model.
When it can't do it in its head, it writes a program and runs it — if it has the tool.
A junior data analyst that gathers data, writes code, and plots it — check its work.
Have it write a small app that runs right there — and turn any text into a diagram.
For real programming, leave the web app: a tool with your files, driven by commands.
Stop typing. Roughly half his queries are voice — and on the phone, most of them.
Text-to-speech reads answers back — but this and dictation are still “fake audio.”
Now the model hears and speaks natively — audio chopped into tokens, no text in between.
Turn a dense document into a listenable, two-host audio overview — then talk back to it.
Point it at labels, lab results, receipts, memes — it can read, transcribe, and reason.
Generate images from a prompt — handy, but usually a separate model bolted on.
Advanced Voice + camera: point at the world and just ask about what it sees.
Text-to-video is incredible and evolving fast — a quick look, not a deep dive.
A private database about you, quietly prepended to every conversation.
Set, once and globally, how it should talk to you — tone, identity, defaults.
Save a reusable prompt once — especially a few-shot one — and run it forever.
Zoom all the way out. Here is the complete map, and the questions to ask every time.
