🚀 AI Accelerates
1/ Native GPT- 4o Image Generation (& Ghiblification)!
OpenAI just leveled up—big time. Their native image generation just got a serious glow-up, and the internet is loving it.
New image model from OpenAI is pretty good at UI stuff.

The key technical changes they made are that the model compressed representations, and they composed an autoregressive prior with a powerful decoder. The result? A next-gen image generation model that feels like it came straight out of a dream.
4o native image generation is the beginning. It's a seismic change in generative AI. Where is this all going?
We won't need ipadapters, or controlnets, or loras, or comfy workflows, or face landmark models, or segmentation models, or niche task specific models. It'll be one

The internet went wild with converting nearly everything to Ghibli style photos. It’s magical.
2/ OpenAI Embraces MCPs (Model Context Protocols)
Model Context Protocols (MCPs) are quickly becoming the standard for integrating AI into real-world apps—and OpenAI is officially supporting them.
MCP 🤝 OpenAI Agents SDK
You can now connect your Model Context Protocol servers to Agents: openai.github.io/openai-agents-…
We’re also working on MCP support for the OpenAI API and ChatGPT desktop app—we’ll share some more news in the coming months.

Why does this matter? MCPs create consistent ways to plug data and AI together—just like the early days of the web had HTML and the mobile era had SDKs. It’s a foundational moment that could massively simplify and accelerate development across the board.
3/ Is Photoshop in Trouble?
With AI-driven image generation reaching new heights (and the Ghibli-style floodgates wide open), many are questioning the future of traditional editing tools like Photoshop.
i hope AI kills adobe
that company had it coming

Why open a hundred-layer project when AI can conjure up your vision from a sentence? Expect major shakeups—and fast innovation from incumbents trying to keep up.
4/ xAI Acquires X
In what might be one of the most fascinating tech moves of the year, Elon’s xAI has officially acquired X (formerly Twitter) in an $80 billion stock deal.
BREAKING: xAI has acquired X (formerly Twitter) at $33 billion ($45 billion less $18B of debt) per Elon Musk

This means X is now officially under the umbrella of Grok and xAI, which could possibly increase the speed and prioritization of AI development at the company.
Regardless, it’s an exciting time in the world of AI
