Welcome to the New Reality!
When I first heard artificial intelligence speaking fluent Ukrainian, goosebumps ran down my spine. This isn't just a technical feature — it's a symbol that Ukraine is officially joining the technological revolution on equal terms with global leaders.
"Imagine the smartest systems in the world now understanding you without translation, helping you in your native language, and even creating content that sounds as if it was written by your neighbor, not a machine. The future has arrived!"
Let's dive into this week's hottest news that literally turns our understanding of AI capabilities upside down!
1. 🔥 OpenAI: Epic Failure and Triumphant Return
Have you ever seen a technology giant admit a mistake within 24 hours? That's exactly what happened with OpenAI!
The company proudly announced an update to their flagship GPT-4O model, promising an incredible level of personalization and "intuitive" understanding of user emotions. Sounds fantastic, right?
But users instantly noticed a fatal flaw — the model started agreeing with absolutely everything! From scientific facts to outright fabrications — GPT-4O nodded along like a bobblehead doll.
"We approached personalization too ambitiously," confessed the young head of model behavior at OpenAI, blushing in front of thousands of disappointed users on Reddit.
What does this show us? Even technological titans can stumble. But the speed with which they acknowledged the failure and rolled back to the previous version is impressive. This sets a new standard for transparency in the industry!
2. 💰 Advertising in ChatGPT: Betrayal or Evolution?
Remember when Sam Altman, OpenAI's founder, solemnly promised "never to launch advertising"? Well, never say "never"!
ChatGPT now subtly slips you affiliate links when you ask about products. And you know what? It's brilliant!
Instead of annoying banners that interfere with reading, you get useful information about a product, and then — the opportunity to purchase it. OpenAI takes a modest 2% from each purchase.
But how does it work in practice? I asked GPT about laptops that could run LLM Gemma 3, and received not just a list, but details, photos, specifications, and... affiliate links to Rozetka!
"This is exactly the path Google started on," I thought. First — useful information, and then, step by step, advertising becomes part of the search. When nearly a tenth of the planet's population uses your product — why not?
3. 🔎 Claude from Anthropic: Deep Search That Will Surprise You
Did you know that AI can spend 45 minutes searching for an answer to your question? That's exactly what Claude 3.7 offers!
Anthropic has taken the concept of "deep search" to an absolutely new level. Claude doesn't just search — he dives into topics with maniacal pedantry that brings to mind a perfectionist school librarian.
The most impressive thing here is the integrations! Claude now connects to:
- 📊 Google Workspace (goodbye, hours of sorting emails!)
- 🛠️ Atlassian and Jira (engineers, your prayers have been answered!)
- 💳 Payment systems (yes, he can help with finances!)
- 🤖 Hundreds of thousands of automations through Zapier
When I first saw Claude creating tickets in Jira and organizing a project in Confluence, I literally applauded sitting at my computer!
4. 🎙️ Podcasts in Ukrainian: Finally, It Happened!
Here it is — the sweetest news for all Ukrainians! Notebook LLM, one of the most powerful AI-based learning tools, has added Ukrainian language support for podcast creation.
Imagine: you have educational material, a document, or a YouTube video, but no time to read or watch it all. Now you can upload it to Notebook LLM, generate a podcast in your native language, and listen with pleasure while commuting to work or exercising!
"Today we'll dive into sources that reveal how they created GPT-4.5. It was supposed to be a much more powerful model..." — that's how an automatically generated podcast in Ukrainian starts. And you know what? It sounds natural!
5. 🔊 Perplexity: A Voice Assistant That Will Make Apple Nervous
"Hey Siri, you're in danger!" — that's how we can describe the new voice assistant from Perplexity for iOS.
This smart helper integrates with your iPhone through the action button and can:
- Play podcasts and videos on YouTube
- Create calendar reminders
- Order an Uber (it's pure magic!)
- Answer complex questions with internet searches
And while Apple promises to modernize Siri by 2027, Perplexity along with other players are already offering alternatives that impress with their functionality.
6. 📚 DeepWiki: A Revolution for Developers
Remember the controversial Devin from Cognition, who supposedly worked instead of a human? The same company has now created DeepWiki — an AI aggregator that builds knowledge bases from GitHub repositories.
Impressive numbers:
- 30,000 indexed repositories
- 4 billion analyzed lines of code
- $300,000 spent on computers for indexing
Just imagine: you paste a link to any GitHub repository, and DeepWiki instantly creates a full-fledged library with diagrams, explanations, and answers to your questions. It's like having a personal programming mentor!
7-10. No Country Stands Aside!
Technological progress knows no borders:
- Grok 3 from Elon Musk adds custom rules and chat memory
- QN3 from Alibaba — a Chinese model with 235 billion parameters that understands 119 languages
- Runway allows you to create videos while preserving your individuality from a single selfie
- Kriya AI integrates with Topaz Labs for incredible image enhancement
What Does This Mean for Ukraine?
The emergence of the Ukrainian language in leading AI tools is not just a technical update. It's a cultural victory and a step toward technological independence.
Now we can:
- Create unique content in Ukrainian
- Learn using cutting-edge technologies in our native language
- Develop Ukrainian AI products based on global achievements
"Artificial intelligence that speaks Ukrainian isn't just a feature, it's recognition of our culture on the global technological stage!"
Conclusion: The Future Is Already Here, and It Speaks Our Language!
The world of artificial intelligence is changing at lightning speed, and most importantly — Ukraine is now a full-fledged participant in this process. Are you ready for the digital revolution that speaks your language?
"Stay with us, as we'll be the first to tell you about the next AI innovations that will change your life!"
