OpenAI launched “Your Year with ChatGPT,” a personal year-end review that shows how you used the chatbot throughout the year.

It is available in the US, Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand for free, Plus, and Pro users who have chat history and saved memories turned on and meet a minimum usage level.

You can access it on web or mobile or by asking ChatGPT directly for your year-in-review.

Manus launched Design View, a new way to edit images by marking the exact area you want changed instead of rewriting prompts.

You tap the Mark Tool, point to the spot, and describe the edit.

It also lets you edit text inside posters or graphics without regenerating the whole image. On mobile, you press and hold to mark a spot and speak the change.

MiniMax launched M2.1, a 10B activated open-source coding and agent model built for real-world software work.

It scores 72.5% on SWE-multilingual and 88.6% on VIBE-bench, beating closed models like Claude 4.5 Sonnet and Gemini 3 Pro while costing about 10% of Claude Sonnet pricing.

The model supports agentic workflows, powers the new MiniMax Agent, and is already live through the MiniMax Open Platform API.

Google launched Google Sans and Google Sans Flex as open-source fonts under the SIL Open Font License.

Google Sans Flex is a variable font with six axes that let you adjust weight, width, optical size, slant, grade, and roundness from one file.

Claude is giving Pro and Max users 2× their normal usage limits through New Year’s Eve. The boost starts at midnight PT tonight and applies automatically.

The change gives heavy users more message capacity during the holiday rush without upgrading plans or paying extra.
