A Smarter Way to Learn: ChatGPT’s New Study Mode

ChatGPT just got a whole lot more educational. With Study Mode, OpenAI is aiming to reshape how students (and curious minds of all kinds) learn with AI. Instead of giving you the answer straight away, Study Mode guides you step by step, helping you actually understand what you're working on.

Think of it as a 24/7 tutor that never gets tired of your questions.

Built with input from learning scientists and teachers, it uses Socratic questioning, tailored feedback, memory recall, and real-time assessments to help students go deeper, not just get it done. Whether you're studying Game Theory or trying to untangle sinusoidal positional encodings (as one college tester put it), this new mode is structured to keep you engaged and thinking critically.

And the roadmap’s just beginning. OpenAI is already planning upgrades: smarter personalization, visualizations for complex topics, progress tracking, and integration with educational partners like Stanford’s SCALE Initiative.

Meta Bets Big on Superintelligence for You, Not Just the Market

Mark Zuckerberg has laid out Meta’s grand vision: not simply to build superintelligence, but to make it personal. In his latest open letter, he describes a world where you have a superintelligent assistant that sees what you see, hears what you hear, and helps you become the person you want to be.

Rather than focusing on replacing human work, Meta is aiming to expand human potential. The vision is about tools that enhance agency, boost creativity, and support individual goals, delivered through smart glasses and highly personalized AI systems. It’s a clear philosophical shift from companies that prioritize centralized automation.

And Meta is putting real weight behind it. A $1+ billion talent acquisition spree, a 22% jump in revenue, and a new superintelligence lab led by former OpenAI scientists all point to a serious long-term bet. If this decade defines how superintelligence will be used, Meta wants it to serve you, not replace you.

Tesla’s $16.5B Samsung Chip Deal

Elon Musk announced a massive deal to power Tesla’s future AI chips (AI6) via Samsung’s Texas fab. These chips aren’t just for self-driving, they’re meant to run robots and train high-performance AI systems in Tesla’s data centers. Musk’s words: “The strategic importance of this is hard to overstate.”

Apple Doubles Down on AI Investments

Tim Cook made it clear: Apple is going all-in on AI. They’re reallocating teams, accelerating acquisitions, and hinting at future AI-first devices (though not ready to give up the iPhone throne). More than 20 AI features are already live, and a personalized Siri reboot is now slated for 2026.

FOR THE TECHNICALLY INCLINED 🛠️

Build Your Own Deep Agent (Yes, Really)

If you’ve ever experimented with tool-using agents like Auto-GPT or LangChain, you’ve likely run into their limits on complex, long-running tasks. That’s where Deep Agents come in, a smarter architecture inspired by systems like Claude Code and Deep Research.

Unlike simple loops that break down on anything beyond basic tasks, deep agents use:

  • 🧠 System prompts packed with logic and examples

  • 🧩 Sub-agents to break apart and manage tasks

  • 📁 A virtual file system to store and recall context

  • 📝 Built-in planning tools to stay on track

LangChain’s new open-source Python package, deepagents, gives you a flexible scaffold with all of this baked in, ready to adapt to your own verticals and workflows.

Spin up your own deep agent in minutes: pip install deepagents
