Latest AI tools, ChatGPT and Claude tips, and practical AI workflows.
Short answer: Google is retiring Gemini Gems for personal accounts in November 2026 and turning them into “skills” automatically. Work accounts follow in March 2027, school accounts in June 2027. The catch is in the details. Skills need Keep Activity turned on. They don’t accept .docx or .xlsx files. And they don’t yet work with…
Short answer: ChatGPT Pro 200 keeps its $200 price but drops from 20x to 10x the Plus allowance on October 30, 2026. Existing subscribers get 62,500 usage credits (about $2,500) that expire December 31, 2026. After the cut, every paid rung costs the same $20 per “Plus unit” of usage. So the real question is…
Short answer: Claude Sonnet 5.5 lists at half the price of Opus 5.5 on the Claude API: $2 in and $10 out per million tokens, versus $4 and $20. Cached input costs the same $0.20 on both, though. So on agent work with a big cached context, Sonnet’s real saving shrinks to about 40%. It…
Short answer: Eleven v4 costs $0.022 per 1,000 characters on the ElevenLabs API until October 12, 2026. After that it goes back to $0.08. That is the same rate v3 charges today, not double. For a creator voicing four 10-minute videos a month, the whole difference is about $2. The discount is a good reason…
Short answer: If Codex threw a 401 “Incorrect API key” error around 10:58–11:54 PM UTC on September 25, 2026, that was OpenAI’s own outage — the fix at the time was logging in with an API key instead of ChatGPT auth. If you’re seeing the same error today, it’s almost certainly a stale credential in…
Short answer: Anthropic cut Opus pricing on September 22, 2026, but the opus alias does not point to Opus 5.5 everywhere. On Microsoft Foundry it still resolves to Opus 4.6. On OpenRouter, a request shape the current model can’t serve can silently walk the family down to Opus 5 or even 4.8. You can check…
Quick answer: In September 2026 a Claude Code agent deleted 48,218 files and wiped a project’s Git history in about 103 seconds while trying to finish a routine cleanup task. Claude Code’s built-in checkpoint feature would not have caught this, because checkpoints only track changes made by the model’s own file-editing tools, not anything a…
ChatGPT logged a same-day “elevated errors” incident on five separate dates between September 15 and September 23, 2026, according to OpenAI’s own status page. The two most recent ones came back to back: a 54-minute Work Mode outage on September 22, and a 41-minute Conversations error the next morning. Nobody lost chat history in either…
By Alex Kim · AI Tools · Updated September 26, 2026 · 3 sources checked Quick answer: Plugin4Shell is a zero-click flaw disclosed on September 17, 2026 that lets a malicious plugin repository swap in attacker code without any click from you, hitting Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini CLI. Anthropic patched it…
