Elon Musk has come through on his promise to publish the latest version of the X “For You” feed algorithm, which provides more insight into how X is looking to maximize user engagement, and ensure you’re seeing the most relevant posts every time you log into the app.

And considering that the average X user only sees 20-30 posts per day in the feed, that’s more important than ever, with X working to boost retention and interest in a relatively short space of time.

The last time we did comparative tests of AI models from OpenAI and Google at Ars was in late 2023, when Google’s offering was still called Bard. In the roughly two years since, a lot has happened in the world of artificial intelligence. And now that Apple has made the consequential decision to partner with Google Gemini to power the next generation of its Siri voice assistant, we thought it was high time to do some new tests to see where the models from these AI giants stand today.

For this test, we’re comparing the default models that both OpenAI and Google present to users who don’t pay for a regular subscription—ChatGPT 5.2 for OpenAI and Gemini 3.2 Fast for Google. While other models might be more powerful, we felt this test best recreates the AI experience as it would work for the vast majority of Siri users, who don’t pay to subscribe to either company’s services.

1Password has a new tool designed to counteract the advantages AI has given to phishing scammers. A new feature for the company’s browser extension gives you a ”second pair of eyes” to help you catch a bogus website before entering your login info.

According to Fortune, 60 percent of companies reported an increase in fraud-related losses from 2024 to 2025. And the advent of AI browsers could make things even worse.
