I'm 18 and a senior in high school. Over the past couple months I built AdmitOdds (https://admitodds.com), an AI-powered tool that estimates your real chances of getting into any US college. You enter your GPA, test scores, extracurriculars, and other stats, and it gives you a percentage chance for each school plus specific advice on what to improve. The tech: Frontend on Vercel (Next.js) Backend on Supabase AI predictions using Claude and GPT Stripe for payments
OpenAI is hosting a livestream event. Details about the specific announcements, product launches, or demonstrations will be revealed during the broadcast.
The last time OpenAI did an unannounced livestream, they dropped GPT-4 Turbo and changed pricing overnight
OpenAI is launching ChatGPT Images 2.0 with major upgrades to image generation capabilities. Watch the livestream announcement at https://openai.com/live/
OpenAI is positioning this as a direct competitor to established image generation tools, suggesting they're confident enough to challenge the current market leaders
Throughout 2025 the standard response to any complaint about an LLM was some version of "just wait 3-6 months, the next generation will handle this effortlessly." The argument was everywhere. Every limitation was temporary, every missing capability was a few iterations away, every autonomous agent demo was a preview of imminent reality. It's April 2026 now and worth checking how that held up. On r/ClaudeAI this week there's a long thread about Opus 4.7 where multiple users argue it's a regress
Someone actually tested Mistral Medium 3.5 on AMD's new Strix Halo chip, and the results are... not great. For a 48k-token prompt with 4k thinking tokens, it took about 2 hours just to get an answer about code architecture. Yeah, you read that right—two hours. The takeaway: if you want to run this locally on Strix Halo, queue it up before bed. The technical setup involved heavy optimization (Q5_K_XL quantization, GPU acceleration with -ngl 999, cache reuse), but even with all that tuning, it's still a crawl. Not exactly the "instant local AI" dream, but hey, at least it works.
Tech Blogger Take
An 18-year-old just schooled the entire EdTech industry with a weekend AI project
While billion-dollar EdTech companies debate AI strategy in boardrooms, a high school senior named the creator just shipped AdmitOdds — an AI tool that predicts college acceptance chances. In two months, 415 users are paying for personalized admissions advice powered by Claude and GPT. The tech stack? Embarrassingly simple: Next.js on Vercel, Supabase backend, Stripe payments. No venture capital, no enterprise sales team, no revolutionary algorithms. Just a teenager who saw college admissions anxiety and thought 'AI could fix this.' What's wild isn't the 415 users — it's that this validates what we've all been dancing around. The barrier to building useful AI products isn't technical complexity anymore, it's just having the guts to ship something. This kid didn't reinvent machine learning; they just connected existing APIs to solve a real problem people will pay for.
