🚨 BREAKING: Code Interpreter is FINALLY rolling out to all ChatGPT Plus users.

It's the most powerful feature OpenAI has released since GPT-4. It makes everyone a data analyst.

Here are 15 mind-blowing use cases of Code Interpreter:
1. Segment your customers in seconds

It takes a spreadsheet and then comes up with different segments of music markets - on its own.

This used to take hours of a human coding in R or Matlab.



2. Decompose seasonality simply via text

On its own, it figured out the exact seasonality in the price of bitcoin - in the blink of an eye.

This used to be an analysis you had to conduct.

3. Linear regression by itself

Simply asking Code Interpreter to come up with "interesting hypotheses" results in a well-constructed automated linear regression.

This used to be something you code via R or SAS after coming up with the hypothesis yourself.

4. Easy Geo Charts

You can just upload location data and get a GIF of the thing visualized - in this case, lighthouses in the US twinkling.

You used to have to connect this to expensive software like Tableau.

5. Basic descriptive charts in seconds

Just asking for "some basic visualizations" can get you all your data exploration steps that used to take hours in seconds.

You used to have to come up with the ideas yourself, even if the charts were easy to generate.

6. Graph public data without input

It can fetch data from public databases like the IMF and visualize it for you without any work.

This used to be a process of finding data, loading into your software, then formatting the chart. All is now done for you.

7. Automatic Radar Charts

It generated this hard-to-create chart by itself after analyzing this user's 300 hr Spotify playlist.

These used to only be available in certain software, and cumbersome to configure.

8. Heatmaps With Ease

A CSV of SF crime data resulted in this heatmap with no guidance.

9. Output the log chart automatically

Just ask ChatGPT to analyze a dataset and it'll figure out when a log transformation applies, and output it itself.

You used to have to do the transformation yourself and then chart it.

Source: @TechMemeKing
10. Cohort chart with no effort

Just upload data and it will build your cohorts and chart it in seconds.

This used to be several steps of grouping and charting. Now it's done automatically.

11. Choose your clustering algorithm and debug

At scale clustering into groups of 100 used to be a tedious process in Python.

Code Interpreter does it all for you in seconds. And debugs its mistakes.

12. Natural language querying to reduce stakeholder requests

Data scientists used to always get distracted with simple questions from stakeholders like "what's the average list price?"

Now they can just do it in Code Interpreter.

13. Plot mathematical functions

You used to have to go into a math tool to create a simple plot, and then define all the elements of the formula.

Code Interpreter will make assumptions and do it without any guidance.

Source: @EasyGuideAI
14. Clean data

Data cleaning used to be a tedious task filled with human decisions.

Code Interpreter will make intelligent decisions for you, like remove unnecessary columns.

15. Do all of the above in one place in seconds

In the future, everyone will be a data analyst.

Thanks to Code Interpreter.

Evals are the new PRD.

The companies building AI products that actually work are running 12.8 eval experiments per day. Here is the playbook with @ankrgyl, Founder and CEO of @braintrust ($800M valuation, behind Vercel, Replit, Ramp, Zapier, Notion, Airtable):

⏱ 1:43 Why vibe checks stop scaling
⏱ 6:35 Evals are the new PRD
⏱ 8:45 The Claude Code evals controversy
⏱ 18:48 Building an eval live from zero
⏱ 29:51 Connecting Linear MCP and iterating
⏱ 39:12 Why you need evals that fail
⏱ 43:36 Offline vs online evals
⏱ 47:40 Three mistakes killing eval culture

The core framework: every eval is exactly three things. A set of inputs your product needs to handle. A task that takes those inputs and generates outputs. A scoring function that produces a number between 0 and 1.

We built one from scratch on camera. Score went from 0 to 0.75 in under 20 minutes.

Cursor is raising at a $50 billion valuation on the claim that its “in-house models generate more code than almost any other LLMs in the world.” Less than 24 hours after launching Composer 2, a developer found the model ID in the API response: kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast.

That’s Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.5 with reinforcement learning appended. A developer named Fynn was testing Cursor’s OpenAI-compatible base URL when the identifier leaked through the response headers. Moonshot’s head of pretraining, Yulun Du, confirmed on X that the tokenizer is identical to Kimi’s and questioned Cursor’s license compliance. Two other Moonshot employees posted confirmations. All three posts have since been deleted.

This is the second time. When Cursor launched Composer 1 in October 2025, users across multiple countries reported the model spontaneously switching its inner monologue to Chinese mid-session. Kenneth Auchenberg, a partner at Alley Corp, posted a screenshot calling it a smoking gun. KR-Asia and 36Kr confirmed both Cursor and Windsurf were running fine-tuned Chinese open-weight models underneath. Cursor never disclosed what Composer 1 was built on. They shipped Composer 1.5 in February and moved on.

The pattern: take a Chinese open-weight model, run RL on coding tasks, ship it as a proprietary breakthrough, publish a cost-performance chart comparing yourself against Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 without disclosing that your base model was free, then raise another round.

That chart from the Composer 2 announcement deserves its own paragraph. Cursor plotted Composer 2 against frontier models on a price-vs-quality axis to argue they’d hit a superior tradeoff. What the chart doesn’t show is that Anthropic and OpenAI trained their models from scratch. Cursor took an open-weight model that Moonshot spent hundreds of millions developing, ran RL on top, and presented the output as evidence of in-house research. That’s margin arbitrage on someone else’s R&D dressed up as a benchmark slide.

The license makes this more than an attribution oversight. Kimi K2.5 ships under a Modified MIT License with one clause designed for exactly this scenario: if your product exceeds $20 million in monthly revenue, you must prominently display “Kimi K2.5” on the user interface. Cursor’s ARR crossed $2 billion in February. That’s roughly $167 million per month, 8x the threshold. The clause covers derivative works explicitly.

Cursor is valued at $29.3 billion and raising at $50 billion. Moonshot’s last reported valuation was $4.3 billion. The company worth 12x more took the smaller company’s model and shipped it as proprietary technology to justify a valuation built on the frontier lab narrative.

Three Composer releases in five months. Composer 1 caught speaking Chinese. Composer 2 caught with a Kimi model ID in the API. A P0 incident this year. And a benchmark chart that compares an RL fine-tune against models requiring billions in training compute without disclosing the base was free.

The question for investors in the $50 billion round: what exactly are you buying? A VS Code fork with strong distribution, or a frontier research lab? The model ID in the API answers that.

If Moonshot doesn’t enforce this license against a company generating $2 billion annually from a derivative of their model, the attribution clause becomes decoration for every future open-weight release. Every AI lab watching this is running the same math: why open-source your model if companies with better distribution can strip attribution, call it proprietary, and raise at 12x your valuation?

kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast is the most expensive model ID leak in the history of AI licensing.

DUOLINGO COULDN'T TEACH ME HEBREW IN 2 YEARS

ChatGPT did it in just 3 months.

Here's the exact 8 Prompts I used:
1. Adaptive Daily Lesson Builder

"You're my personal Hebrew tutor. Build me a 20-minute lesson for today based on my current level [beginner/intermediate/advanced]. Include: 10 new vocabulary words with context, 1 key grammar concept with 3 examples, and 5 practice sentences I should translate. End with tomorrow's preview."
2. Real Conversation Partner

"Let's have a 10-minute conversation in Hebrew about [topic: weekend plans/work/hobbies]. Start each response in Hebrew, then add English corrections below using this format: '❌ You said X → ✅ Say Y (because Z)'. Adjust your Hebrew complexity to match my responses."

In product management, not everything is straight forward maths, or solvable by AI.

Yet, some PMs still make better decisions most of the time.

How?

That's product sense: Image
"The ability to find the right solution for the user and business, despite limited and ambiguous information."

I love this definition from @Sid Arora.
You start with the PM process:

1. Take a vague & ambiguous problem statement
2. Create, or clarify the overall goal
3. Identify all users in ecosystem
4. Pick 1-2 users
5. Identify major problems of the user
6. Select the problems to solve
7. Brainstorm for solutions
8. Select the highest ROI solution
9. Build and deploy the solution
10. Measure success / collect feedback
