[Wrapping It Up with a Bow (Because We're Fancy Like That)](#wrapping-it-up-with-a-bow-because-we-re-fancy-like-that) Hey there, AI enthusiasts and bot-building extraordinaires! Buckle up, because we're about to take you on a wild ride through our latest and greatest [Chat Thing](https://chatthing.ai) updates, but before we start we got an answer to the question we know you have all been asking yourselves! **Does a 1 million long context window make you good at Chess?** Well, apparently not! Here's GPT-4o smoking Gemini 1.5 Pro on our silly [LLM chess benchmark](https://llm-battle.chatthing.ai/games/11). ![Xnapper Aug 07 2024.webp](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1723062239/Xnapper_Aug_07_2024_c352756ec7.webp) Read more about that later, but now, let's move on to our serious updates! ## 🧠 Gemini 1.5 Models: Because Size (of Context) Matters (just not in Chess)! Remember when we thought 128k tokens were a lot? Well, hold our coffee, because Google has two absolute units of AI models, and guess what? They're now part of the Chat Thing family! Why should you care? Well, imagine asking your bot to analyze "War and Peace," and it says, "Is that all you've got?" That's the power we're talking about! They are both strong models and support vision and power-ups! ### πŸ’¨ Gemini 1.5 Flash: The Budget-Friendly Brainiac Think of Flash as that friend who's always got a witty comeback, but never asks you to split the bill. It's quick, it's smart, and it won't break the bank. Perfect for high traffic bots that don't need to do complex reasoning tasks. ### πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ Gemini 1.5 Pro: The Superhero of AI If Flash is your witty friend, Pro is like having the entire Avengers team at your disposal. It's not just smart; it's Google's flagship model and works out slightly cheaper than GPT-4o in terms of message tokens. And with a context window of 1 MILLION tokens, it's got a memory that would make an elephant jealous! 🐘 Adding Gemini continues our commitment to integrating all the cutting edge models with Chat Thing so you can use all of them under one roof. Head over to the docs to view all our [available models](https://chatthing.ai/docs/available-models). You can now select the Gemini model from your bot's "General settings" within the "Model settings" section. ![Xnapper Aug 07.webp](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1723063829/Xnapper_Aug_07_aec429ba3b.webp) ## πŸ“ Conversation Summaries: Because Who Has Time to Read Everything? ![Xnapper Aug 07 (3).webp](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1723064245/Xnapper_Aug_07_3_1baebdff2a.webp)We heard you loud and clear: "Reading is hard!" (Okay, maybe that's not exactly what you said, but close enough). So, we've introduced Conversation Summaries! Now you can get the TL;DR of your bot convos right in the sidebar. It's like having a personal assistant for your AI assistant. How meta is that? 🀯 And psst... we're cooking up something even cooler: email summaries! Soon, you'll be able to catch up on your bot's social life over your morning coffee. β˜• You can now enable this from your bot general settings: ![Xnapper Aug 07 (1).webp](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1723064286/Xnapper_Aug_07_1_f5cd6bbd41.webp) ## πŸ† GPT-4o mini: The New Sheriff in Town Move over, GPT-3.5! There's a new default model in town, and its name is GPT-4o mini. If you're still hanging out with GPT-3.5, it's time for an upgrade. Your bot will thank you (probably with a much wittier response). ##β™ŸοΈ LLM Chess Battle: May the Best Bot Win! Ever wondered what would happen if we put AI models in a chess ring and let them duke it out? Well, wonder no more! Head over to and watch the GPU-powered showdown live! Why have we built this? Well we think its the most fun LLM benchmark around even if its not the most useful. As it turns our current LLM models are pretty rubbish at chess in comparison to humans, but even still the flagship models seem to be better than the older models so it will be interesting to see how this changes as newer models are released. Current reigning champ: GPT-4o! It's been serving checkmates like they're going out of style, even taking down the mighty Gemini 1.5 Pro. Will its reign last? Grab some popcorn and find out! 🍿 ## Wrapping It Up with a Bow (Because We're Fancy Like That) Phew! That was a lot, wasn't it? But wait, there's more! (Just kidding, that's all for now). We're constantly cooking up new ways to make Chat Thing the most awesome AI playground out there. Have you taken these new features for a spin yet? Did Gemini 1.5 Pro write you a sonnet about your cat? Did GPT-4o mini finally understand your sarcasm? We want to hear all about it! Drop us a line, send a carrier pigeon, or use that fancy AI bot you just built to let us know how these updates are rocking your world. Stay cool, stay curious, and keep on bot-building, you magnificent AI tamers! Catch you on the flippity-flip! ✌️ ### Related articles [![Otto now lives inside every agent, plus seven new models](https://res.cloudinary.com/djyjvrw5u/image/upload/v1785426041/hero_2195c49528.png)](https://chatthing.ai/blog/ask-otto-and-seven-new-models) [
