The project promises an impressive throughput of 10,000 transactions per second (TPS), combined with a fast 500ms block time and 1 second finalization, while aiming for near-zero or sub-cent gas fees.1 This positions Monad as a significantly faster and more cost-effective alternative to existing EVM-compatible blockchains. In simple terms: the developers promise a very fast and very cheap chain The real facts: so far it lives up to its claims))

I use it, I paid for it for a very long time, they were practically the only ones who checked and corrected grammar in the text and correspondence - now I hope that their level will become even stronger

🔧 MCP SuperAssistant - AI agent right in the browser I discovered an interesting tool that turns a regular chat with AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) into an agent that doesn't just answer, but performs tasks. Ask to create a document, get data or send an email, and it really does it! No additional API keys or complicated settings. What it can do: • Create Google Docs • Work with Trello, Asana • Send emails and messages in Slack • Extract data from various sources For those who want to automate their routine - I advise you to test it! You can try it for free here (https://mcpsuperassistant.ai/)

now Copilot is testing a new feature - Agent Actions (https://www.testingcatalog.com/microsoft-copilot-starts-testing-agent-actions-and-adds-native-image-generation/), (https://www.testingcatalog.com/microsoft-copilot-starts-testing-agent-actions-and-adds-native-image-generation/) a kind of AI that performs actions in applications instead of you. Very similar to the Operator concept. A kind of smart agent-bot. It seems that Microsoft is also seriously getting into the AI agent game. And, in fact, by itself, without even involving OpenAI. The only thing is that, unlike Google, Microsoft does not have its own GPT models, so there remains a dependency here.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s eye-scanning and identity verification technology project World has officially launched in the US. The spherical biometric device takes about 30 seconds to scan your face and iris, then creates and stores a unique IrisCode. You then receive a share of the project’s cryptocurrency, WLD, and can use your World ID as a login on integrated platforms, which currently include Minecraft, Reddit, Telegram, Shopify, and Discord. The company has opened six locations in the US where people can sign up for eyeball scans: Austin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Nashville, Miami, and San Francisco.

OpenAI has thrown us some new tricks in ChatGPT 💃 Search has been upgraded: We've added trending queries and autocomplete. That means you don't have to guess how to phrase your question correctly anymore. Shopping inside ChatGPT: Yes, now you can search for products, compare prices, read reviews, and even buy them right away — all without leaving the chat. And importantly: this is not advertising (but it's not exactly 🤣), products are chosen independently. Integration with Shopify is also on the way. It will be like a mini-Amazon inside the chat. Comrades are healers 🤓 GPT Search in WhatsApp Just write to 1-800-ChatGPT (+1-800-242-8478) — and you'll get answers to questions, live match scores, and other useful stuff. PRO-level quotes: Now answers can contain multiple sources, and you'll even be able to see which part of the answer is based on which.

Perplexity having announced a voice assistant for iOS that will help Siri, which has always been so stupid. An assistant that not only provides power, but actually cares for your smartphone: it uses a browser, works with add-ons, powers up pages, removes armor and maintains a calendar! The new Perplexity feature is now available for iOS users - all you need to do is update the add-on in the AppStore. This assistant can also create podcasts, YouTube videos and other media content. It looks like traditional voice assistants have lost a serious competitor!

OpenAI has updated gpt-4o. And there is also a “light” version of DeepResearch based on the o4-mini model. And yes, even for the free plan they also give several generations. And don’t forget to pump up your skills with o3. I’ve been using it for a few days now - the model is really worthy of your attention. Have a nice and peaceful Saturday everyone!
