MAIN AI UPDATES / 15th Apr 2025

🤖 OpenAI's GPT-4.1 Family 🤖
Built specifically for developers

OpenAI has released GPT-4.1, a new API-only model family featuring major improvements in coding abilities, instruction following, and the ability to process up to 1M tokens of context. The lineup includes GPT-4.1, 4.1 mini, and 4.1 nano, significantly outperforming GPT-4o on key developer tasks while being 26% cheaper for typical queries. With its massive context window and sharper focus, it sets a new foundation for agentic coding and may be a precursor to the company's rumored Agentic Software Engineer.

🛠️ Postman AI Agent Builder 🛠️
No-code agent creation platform

Postman has unveiled its AI Agent Builder, a no-code platform for easily creating AI agents using APIs and large language models (LLMs). The platform allows users to discover and test APIs and LLMs, compare model performance across metrics like cost and speed, build multi-step workflows visually, and instantly transform APIs into tools. Designed for efficiency, it enables quick creation of smart, reliable AI-powered agents without any coding knowledge required, making advanced AI capabilities accessible to a broader audience.

📝 Class Assistant 📝
AI-powered quiz creation for educators

Google has integrated an AI-powered quiz creation tool called Class Assistant into Google Classroom to help teachers develop customized assessments. The Gemini-powered feature allows educators to select specific skills they want to test and instantly generate tailored questions for their students. Teachers can seamlessly export the AI-generated quizzes to Google Docs or Forms, streamlining the assessment creation process. This tool aims to reduce preparation time while maintaining educational standards and personalization options. Early adopters report significant time savings and increased assessment variety.
