PSA: Don’t buy a $4,400 gray market Samsung TriFold on eBay

I had to buy Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold from eBay for $4,399 and I’m pretty sure that’s because Samsung doesn’t want anyone to actually have this phone. I’m also afraid to turn it on. Not that turning it on does much good. Whenever I tap “start” to set it up, a prompt to supply a […]

The MacBook Neo Triumphs

It was a little surprising to see Apple decide to leap fully into the affordable laptop market, to try and compete with devices the company typically prefers to just look down its nose at. It was also a little surprising to see Apple basically nail it on the first try. On this episode of The […]

Epic Attributes Fortnite V-bucks Price Hike to Operating Costs

Epic Games announced this week that Fortnite’s in-game V-bucks currency would be getting more expensive with a somewhat glib statement: “The cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot and we’re raising prices to help pay the bills,” the company wrote. The price hike will go into effect on March 19th, the same day […]

ChatGPT and Claude Evolve from Chatbots to Engaging Learning Resources

This week, both Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT were upgraded to incorporate learning through interactive visualizations. These updates illustrate the progression of AI from the early chatbot stage to a more developed and useful form.

## ChatGPT Introduces Interactive Learning Functionality

On Tuesday, OpenAI published a blog entry titled “New ways to learn math and science with ChatGPT,” detailing how users can “delve into concepts with interactive visual explanations.”

OpenAI conveyed, “Today, we’re enhancing the learning experience in ChatGPT by making it more interactive with new dynamic visual explanations. Beginning with over 70 essential math and science topics, ChatGPT will assist learners by demonstrating how formulas, variables, and relationships function in real time. These interactive experiences will be accessible globally across all plans starting today.”

Now, when a user queries ChatGPT about a core subject, it can clarify it and provide an interactive visual module. Users can modify variables, manipulate formulas, and see immediately how those adjustments impact graphs and results—transforming abstract equations into hands-on experiments.

OpenAI emphasizes specific areas of expertise for ChatGPT’s interactive learning capability, which is particularly beneficial for high school and college students. The subjects include binomial square, Charles’ law, area of a circle, circle equation, compound interest, cone surface area, cone volume, Coulomb’s law, volume of a cylinder, degrees of freedom, difference of squares, exponential decay, Hooke’s law, kinetic energy, lens equation, linear equation, Ohm’s law, period–frequency relation, potential energy, PV = nRT equation, Pythagorean theorem, slope–intercept form, surface area of a sphere, area of a triangle, trig angle sum identity, among others.

While OpenAI is initially focusing on math and science, there are plans to broaden the range of subjects in the future.

## Claude is Adopting Visual Responses

In parallel, Anthropic announced on Thursday that Claude will transition away from primarily using text responses. Instead, the AI chatbot has acquired the ability to generate interactive charts, diagrams, and visualizations.

Anthropic stated, “Last fall, we introduced Imagine with Claude: a novel method for Claude to produce visuals in real time, without any coding. We’re now rolling out a version of this feature, in beta, to Claude’s chat interactions. Claude can generate custom charts, diagrams, and various visualizations inline in its replies—and can adjust and refine its creations as the dialogue unfolds.”

This new functionality is enabled by default, allowing Claude to autonomously determine when to employ visual responses.

Both chatbot enhancements showcase how these AI systems are evolving and transcending the text-only interface that sparked the current large language model revolution.
