OpenAI 4o image generator has set a new benchmark in AI-generated imagery. The surge of Studio Ghibli-style prompts on Twitter (X?) has significantly boosted its visibility, despite Hayao Miyazaki's well-known opposition to AI art. This technological progression is inevitable, leading to the commoditization of certain roles—product photography being the most immediate, with aspects of web development and data analysis following closely (or already with vibe-coding?).
Futhermore OpenAI's adoption of Anthropic's open-sourced Model Context Protocol marks a crucial step toward standardizing AI assistant integration. This strategic alignment between industry leaders signals a shift away from fragmented proprietary systems, creating pressure for wider adoption. The result: developers can focus on building innovative applications rather than navigating competing technical frameworks—accelerating practical AI implementation across the ecosystem.
However we can not sleep on Google, as it has reclaimed its position in the AI landscape after being overshadowed by OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek. Following Gemini 2.0 Flash's moderate success, Gemini 2.5 Pro has emerged with exceptional reasoning capabilities, outperforming competitors across numerous benchmarks. It's receiving favorable comparisons even against Claude 3.5, previously considered the gold standard for coding tasks (while the Claude 3.7 upgrade's improvements remain under evaluation).
