Pouco mais de sete meses após descontinuar o modo de voz no então aplicativo do ChatGPT para desktop (atualmente, chamado de ChatGPT Classic), a OpenAI anunciou hoje que a mais nova versão do app do chatbot agora suporta o ChatGPT Voice, alimentado pelo novíssimo e versátil modelo GPT-Live.

Graças a essa versatilidade, o novo modo de voz pode fazer bem mais que apenas conversar. Além de poder ser usado em chats, ele também está integrado ao Work e ao Codex — o que significa que você pode usá-lo para coordenar e acompanhar tarefas, sem usar texto.

ChatGPT Voice is now in the desktop app.

Control your computer and direct multiple agents running in ChatGPT Work or Codex, using just your voice.

It's powered by GPT-Live, so it can speak, listen, and coordinate work in the app at the same time.

Para usar a novidade, é necessário abrir um novo chat ou uma nova tarefa vazia no app e selecionar a opção “Iniciar nova conversa por voz”. As conversas ou tarefas precisam necessariamente ser iniciadas nesse modo — caso contrário, apenas o ditado por voz estará disponível.

O ChatGPT Voice oferece suporte a uma alternância natural entre as falas. Você pode interromper o ChatGPT durante uma resposta, fazer uma pergunta complementar ou mudar de direção. Se o ChatGPT começar a executar uma tarefa, continue falando para verificar o progresso ou orientar o trabalho.

Além disso, a OpenAI destaca que é possível iniciar conversas separadas para conversas mais longas, enviar ao app uma screenshot para apresentar o contexto do que está na tela, bem como usar o recurso pelo Remote do iOS com o iPhone emparelhado ao computador.

O ChatGPT Voice no desktop está sendo disponibilizado gradualmente para os planos Plus, Pro, Business, Edu e Enterprise. Nos dois últimos, há um período inicial de duas semanas com acesso antecipado antes de o recurso ser ativado por padrão.

Codeux Software:

Textual is the world’s most popular application for interacting with Internet Relay Chat (IRC) chatrooms on macOS.

[…]

Textual supports very powerful modern technologies such as the latest IRCv3 specifications, native IPv6, client-side certificate authentication, and much, much more in an easy to navigate, clutter free experience.

Unfortunately (via Jan Lehnardt):

Textual has been sunset and will no longer receive updates.

Previously:

• EU Council Approves New “Chat Control” Mandate
• The End of ICQ
• Mozilla Looking for IRC Replacement

Update (2026-07-10): rob:

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is having a bit of a revival in one of the communities I participate in (we ditched Discord), but there are not that many clients for Apple devices?

I’m currently using Goguma on mobile and Halloy on desktop, but they both don’t feel like native apps… (technology stack and especially UI/UX)

[…]

Luckily I recently discovered Mango, which looks very promising.

The Mac Genie:

I would still love to have a modern version of Ircle. Nothing else comes close as the best example of a Mac IRC client.

All the young people the Guardian spoke to disagreed with aspects of the government’s proposed block

Sixteen- and 17-year-olds in Britain are to be encouraged to observe a midnight to 6am social media curfew but will be able to opt out by changing their account settings.

From next spring, they will be urged to refrain from using certain apps, with the block being switched on by default. But the curfew will not be mandatory and can be overridden.

Quatre fois plus vite qu'un bébé humain. C'est la vitesse à laquelle un chat associe un mot à une image. Une étude japonaise vient de démonter une idée bien ancrée : relier les mots au monde réel ne serait pas l'apanage des primates. Votre chat vous écoute. Il a juste décidé de ne pas vous le...

En France, chaque année, environ 300 chiens meurent de chaud. Alors que les températures battent des records, les vétérinaires alertent : les décès ont augmenté de presque 10 %.

The Snapchat maker is spinning off yet another internal unit. Dotmo will be composed of current Snap staff who are leaving the social media company to focus on AI video development.

Snap's new smart glasses are probably the most impressive bit of face-computer technology we've seen. They're not VR-headset huge; they don't have a big charging puck; thanks to Snap's many years of AR lens development, they're likely to have a lot of features right out of the box. (Yes, they're $2,195, but that may just be what all this tech costs right now.) Snap is clearly at the front of this race.

And then… you see the pictures. The pictures of Snap CEO Evan Spiegel wearing the new Specs, as the enormous and heavy stems smash down on his ears. The pictures of models and athletes wearing Specs, carefully posed to hide the obvious weigh …

Snap vient de dévoiler « le premier ordinateur portatif conçu pour le monde réel ». Autrement dit, des lunettes de réalité augmentée. La firme envisage déjà un monde où ses Specs remplacent complètement les téléphones portables.

More than 200 of the world's elites registered for a retreat whose agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III. An associated app offers matchmaking.

For over a decade now, Snap has been working on this device. Now the glasses are finally here. So what stands out on first impression?

Snap is finally launching augmented glasses for the public. Specs, which Snap describes as "a wearable computer built into see-through augmented reality glasses," will cost $2,195. You can preorder a pair of Specs now at specs.com with a $200 refundable deposit, and Snap says they're expected to ship "this fall" in the US, UK, and France.

This is a big moment for Snap: The company made a big entry into smart glasses with its original Spectacles in 2016, and the company has been toiling away on nonpublic AR versions of Spectacles over the past few years. CEO Evan Spiegel promised the company would launch consumer AR glasses in 2026 and even …

Que vous trouviez du réconfort dans un regard fidèle ou dans un ronronnement discret, la science commence seulement à comprendre ce que ces interactions ont vraiment comme effet sur notre bien-être. Et ce n’est pas exactement ce que l’on croyait.

Votre chat vous manipule, et la science le confirme. Pas par malice, mais par une biologie parfaitement rodée. Derrière chaque ronronnement et chaque clignement d'œil lent se cache une mécanique hormonale qui agit directement sur votre corps. Saviez-vous qu'un simple échange de regards avec...
