An independent evaluation on standard hardware shows that large language models can deliver usable performance without a GPU. The tests focused on speed and practicality for everyday tasks.
An Intel i5 laptop with 12 GB of RAM served as the test platform for eight models using Ollama and GGUF quantization. Performance ranged from 34 tokens per second for the smallest models down to around 4 tokens per second for larger ones.

OpenAI has begun releasing two updated voice models for ChatGPT that allow simultaneous listening and speaking. The changes aim to create more natural conversations.
Physicists have shown that an ordinary laptop can handle a complex quantum simulation previously claimed to require a quantum computer. Researchers at the Flatiron Institute and Boston University used advanced mathematical techniques to model hundreds of interacting qubits. Their results matched those from earlier quantum hardware experiments.

Linus Torvalds addressed his earlier comments on large language models during a talk at Open Source Summit India 2026. He described a previous estimate of 10X programmer productivity gains as lacking scientific basis.
OpenAI has begun rolling out GPT-5.5 Instant as the new default model for ChatGPT, promising greater factual accuracy and improved personalization. The update reduces hallucinations and inaccurate claims while enhancing response clarity. A new memory sources feature gives users more control over personalized context.
