Google launches ‘Guided Learning’ in Gemini

Google has launched a new feature called Guided Learning in the Gemini app. It helps students learn step by step instead of just giving answers. The tool is now available and rolling out to more users globally.

Key Points:

• Step-by-Step Learning Help: Guided Learning walks you through a topic with questions, short explanations, and visuals. Instead of just giving answers, it helps you understand the subject deeply.

• Powered by LearnLM and Gemini 2.5 Pro: The tool is built on Google’s AI models developed with input from teachers and scientists. These models are designed to support how students learn.

• Interactive Learning Tools: It uses images, diagrams, YouTube videos, flashcards, and quizzes to make learning more effective and easier to follow.

• Student Offers and Access: Students in the U.S., Brazil, Korea, Indonesia, and Japan can get a free one-year subscription to the AI Pro plan, which includes access to Guided Learning and other tools.

• Gradual Rollout and Age Restrictions: Guided Learning started rolling out on July 31. It’s available in many regions and languages, but some features like flashcards and quizzes are only for users 18 and older.

OpenAI Releases First Open-Source Reasoning Models Since GPT-2

OpenAI just released two AI models you can download and use freely. They’re made for advanced reasoning and can run directly on your computer without needing the internet. It’s the first time OpenAI has shared model files like this since 2019.

Details:

• You can choose between two versions: One big model (gpt‑oss‑120b) that works well on high-end GPUs. One smaller model (gpt‑oss‑20b) that can run on laptops with 16 GB RAM.

• Both models are good at solving problems step by step and can be used with tools like Python or a web search.

• They’re released under an open license (Apache 2.0), so you can use them for personal or business projects.

• You can download the full model weights from Hugging Face or LM Studio and run them offline.

• The big model matches or beats OpenAI’s o4-mini on popular benchmarks. The small one is similar to the O3-mini in reasoning power.

• They’re now available through AWS tools like Bedrock and SageMaker for companies that want to use them in the cloud.

This move gives developers more control and opens the door to building smart, local AI tools without needing OpenAI’s paid services.
