Latest Gemini 3 Flash Dominates Benchmarks and Matches Power of GPT 5.2

Google launched Gemini 3 Flash as the default model for Gemini and AI Search, delivering major gains in speed and reasoning that let it compete closely with frontier models like GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3 Pro.

Details:

• The model rivals top competitors with strong benchmark scores, runs 3 times quicker than Gemini 2.5 Pro, and uses 30% fewer tokens for complex reasoning, helping Google handle over 1 trillion tokens daily

• Users can apply it to multimodal tasks like learning from videos, recognizing sketches, turning audio into quizzes, and prototyping apps. Flash answers most queries with better intent understanding

• It is deployed across Vertex AI, Gemini Enterprise, and the Antigravity coding tool, and has been adopted by firms such as Figma and JetBrains. The rapid rollout highlights intensifying competition and accelerated model cycles

By combining high-end performance with significant cost efficiencies, Google is aiming to make Gemini 3 Flash the most practical tool for both enterprise and everyday needs.

OpenAI Launches the ChatGPT App Store to Create an Everything App

OpenAI is pushing ChatGPT toward an “everything app” with an App Directory and open SDK. This supports Sam Altman’s vision of integrating third-party services directly into ChatGPT for a more interactive experience.

Details:

• Developers can use the SDK to build native apps like Apple Music playlist tools or DoorDash recipe-to-cart features, alongside existing integrations such as Zillow and the expanded Spotify app in the UK and EU

• Existing data connectors like Google Drive and Dropbox are rebranded as apps, offering file search, deep research, and syncing across F-R-E-E, Plus, Go, and Pro tiers, with some features tied to Memory and user data

• OpenAI is still refining its path to profitability, exploring options like digital goods sales and developer incentives while watching how users and developers engage with the ecosystem

This expansion marks a significant shift in how users will interact with AI, moving from simple conversation to direct action across various digital services.

How to Turn ChatGPT Projects Into a Self-Guided Onboarding System

Onboarding fresh hires doesn't need to be repetitive. With ChatGPT Projects, you can build a private workspace of SOPs, instructions, and role context that guides hires automatically.

1. Set up onboarding workspace

   Open ChatGPT, enable the sidebar, tap on Projects, and select New project. Give it a clear name so both you and your hire recognize its purpose.

2. Organize project structure

   Inside the Project, create a simple structure before uploading anything. For example:

   • SOPs

   • Tools & Credentials

   • Role Expectations

   This makes the workspace easier to navigate and prevents confusion once files and chats begin to accumulate.

3. Upload training materials

   Add relevant SOP documents, workflow PDF files, checklists, and onboarding guides. The goal is to give ChatGPT enough context to answer role-specific questions without overwhelming its memory.

4. Add custom instructions

   Use the Project’s custom instruction area to teach ChatGPT how to behave during onboarding. You can set tone, level of detail, and expectations. Example:

   “Explain processes in simple, operational language. Prioritize accuracy over speed. If a policy is unclear from the uploaded SOPs, ask for clarification instead of guessing.”

5. Share onboarding workspace

   Invite the hire by entering their email under Share. They'll have entry to every file, chat thread, instruction, and piece of project memory exactly as you set it up.

   Sharing ensures:

   • You don’t have to resend the same files repeatedly

   • Every hire starts with a consistent onboarding environment

6. Begin onboarding with prompt

   Ask the hire to start with a structured prompt using Voice or Dictation mode. Example:

   “I’m joining as a [role title]. My first objective is [goal]. Before giving me any onboarding steps, ask me the top 5 clarifying questions you need to personalize my training.”

7. Continue onboarding flow

   As the hire asks questions, ChatGPT will pull from your uploaded SOPs and project memory to give accurate, contextual answers.

Note: Keep each Project focused on one role so the memory stays clean and accurate.

Present a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of [CITY], featuring its most iconic landmarks and architectural elements. Use soft, refined textures with realistic PBR materials and gentle, lifelike lighting and shadows. Integrate the current weather conditions directly into the city environment to create an immersive atmospheric mood. Use a clean, minimalistic composition with a soft, solid-colored background. At the top center, place the title "[CITY]" in large, bold text, a prominent weather icon beneath it, then the date (in small text) and temperature (in medium text). All text must be centered with consistent spacing and may subtly overlap the tops of the buildings. Square 1080×1080 dimension.
