  • A free year of AI Pro for US students

    Eligible US college students get 12 months of Google AI Pro — normally $19.99/mo — with 4x higher Gemini usage limits, agentic Gemini Spark, Deep Research in Gemini Live, and 5TB of Drive storage. Verify your student status and redeem by December 31, 2026.

  • Outside the US, it's AI Plus with Gemini Omni

    Students across 140+ other markets get 12 months of Google AI Plus instead: 2x Gemini limits, Gemini Omni access, and 400GB of storage. A handful of regions are excluded, including Canada, Hong Kong, and Macau — check eligibility before you count on it.

  • Elsewhere: rename a ChatGPT-hosted Site URL, no redeploy

    OpenAI now lets Plus/Pro owners change an existing ChatGPT-hosted Site's URL without redeploying it, with automatic redirects that preserve routes and query params. Small quality-of-life win if you ship apps or demos on ChatGPT Sites.

  • Elsewhere: Vercel's CLI now handles review comments

    The new `vercel comments` command lists, inspects, replies to, and resolves Vercel Toolbar comments straight from the terminal — one less reason to context-switch to the dashboard during a review.

  • Elsewhere: GitHub adds a 'mitigated' dismissal reason

    Code scanning gains a new alert-dismissal reason for risks you've mitigated elsewhere, so triaged-but-not-fixed alerts stop cluttering your security view without being silently marked false-positive.
