Bytedance Unveils Seedance 2.0 With Advanced Multimodal Capabilities

ByteDance has significantly escalated the AI video race with the release of Seedance 2.0, a multimodal model currently in beta on the Jimeng platform that pushes the boundaries of consistency and control.

Details:

• The model accepts simultaneous inputs of text, image, audio, and video, allowing users to combine up to 12 files (such as nine images, three videos, and three audio tracks)

• Its standout "reference capability" allows creators to replicate the exact camera movement and pacing from an uploaded video while swapping out characters or scenery, alongside a "multi-lens" feature

• Generations include native, synchronized sound effects and music at 2K resolution for clips up to 15 seconds long, with processing speeds reportedly 30% quicker than competing models

The launch follows Kuaishou’s Kling 3.0 debut, which lifted Chinese media stocks and intensified competition in professional AI video tools.

OpenAI Codex App Smashes 1 Million Downloads In First Week

OpenAI’s standalone Codex app for macOS has taken the developer world by storm, crossing 1 million downloads in its first week and posing a serious threat to established competitors like Cursor.

Details:

• The rapid surge to over a million users highlights the massive demand for a native, agentic coding environment that moves beyond simple IDE extensions to offer full project orchestration

• While early adoption has been fueled by broad availability, reports indicate that OpenAI is preparing to enforce stricter usage caps on complimentary and “Go” tier accounts in future

• These looming restrictions appear calculated to establish a dependency on the tool before nudging frequent users toward premium subscriptions for sustained, high-speed usage

As the initial hype settles, the transition from an open beta feel to a gated, monetized utility will determine whether Codex can retain its massive influx of users.

AI Tutorial

How to Record a Meeting in the ChatGPT Desktop App

Ever leave a meeting thinking “What did we decide again?” This tutorial shows how to hit Record in the ChatGPT desktop app, let it run quietly in the background, and then generate a clear recap.

1. Download desktop app

   Download the ChatGPT desktop app and sign in. Make sure you’re on one of the Pro plans for full feature availability.

2. Confirm meeting setup

   Launch the meeting, lecture, or session on your computer. Quick check before you start:

   • You can clearly hear the audio

   • You have permission to record other people

3. Start recording

   Tap the Record button inside the ChatGPT desktop app. A recording panel will appear and run quietly in the background while you continue your session.

4. Capture important parts

   Let the session run normally while the recorder works.

   Do what is necessary:

   • Keep the meeting audio clear

   • Avoid switching audio devices unless you must

5. Stop and submit recording

   When you are finished, press Stop. Send the recording to ChatGPT so it can process it.

6. Get structured breakdown

   ChatGPT will generate an organized output such as:

   • A clear summary

   • Key points

   • Action items

   • Suggested follow ups

7. Ask follow up questions

   You can chat with the transcript to get exactly what you need. Try prompts like:

   “Turn this into a short update for my team channel”

   “List the decisions made and who owns each next step”

Note: If the meeting is long or complex, naturally pause between agenda items so the audio creates clear mental sections for better summaries.

Prompt of the Day

The Socratic Prompting Method (And Why It Works)

Most people prompt AI like a task list and get quick, shallow answers in return. This thread breaks down a simple shift called Socratic prompting: asking the model the right questions before asking it to produce anything. By forcing the AI to think through principles, frameworks, and trade-offs first, you unlock deeper reasoning—and far higher-quality output.
