Meta plans to release standalone Meta AI app

Meta intends to debut a standalone Meta AI app during the second quarter. The service is currently only available to users via a website and the company's other apps. Users could potentially interact more deeply with the digital assistant if it were available as a standalone app. Meta also plans to test a paid subscription for Meta AI.

💨 Tencent’s new ‘fast-thinking’ model

Chinese giant Tencent just released Hunyuan Turbo S, a new ‘fast-thinking’ AI designed for instant responses rather than deep reasoning — achieving 2x the speed while matching the performance of leading models on key benchmarks.

🖼️ Ideogram eyeing speed boost with new model

Ideogram launched its 2a model, a major update to the text-to-image platform that significantly reduces generation time and cost while maintaining high-quality outputs—with optimizations for graphic design and photorealistic generations.
