ChatGPT is now accessible from your CarPlay dashboard if you have iOS 26.4 or newer and the latest version of the ChatGPT app, 9to5Mac reports. Apple’s recently launched iOS 26.4 update added support for “voice-based conversational apps” in CarPlay, opening the door to let you use AI chatbots with voice features through Apple’s in-car platform.
When using ChatGPT through CarPlay, the app doesn’t show text conversations, according to 9to5Mac — instead, you can only have conversations with the app using your voice. (Apple’s developer guidelines ask that apps don’t show text or imagery as responses.) The CarPlay app isn’t completely devoid of text, though, as there’s onscreen buttons to mute and end the conversation.
You can also look at a list of recent conversations you’ve had with ChatGPT, according to MacRumors. But you can’t use a wake word to use ChatGPT through CarPlay — you’ll have to tap on the app to open it up.

Scientists create a magnetic lantern that moves like it’s alive
A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by compression or twisting. By adding a magnetic layer, they achieved remote control of the shape-shifting process, allowing the lanterns to act as grippers, filters, or expandable mechanisms.

Quantum computer breakthrough tracks qubit fluctuations in real time
Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring system that tracks these rapid fluctuations about 100 times faster than previous methods. Using fast FPGA-based control hardware, they can instantly identify when a qubit shifts from “good” to “bad.” The discovery opens a new path toward stabilizing and scaling future quantum processors.

We Benchmarked Our SSR Framework Against Next.js — Here's What We Found
<p>We built <a href="https://github.com/childrentime/pareto" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pareto</a>, a lightweight streaming-first React SSR framework on Vite. Claims are cheap — so we built an automated benchmark suite that runs in CI on every PR, comparing Pareto against <strong>Next.js</strong>, <strong>React Router (Remix)</strong>, and <strong>TanStack Start</strong> on identical hardware.</p> <h2> What We Tested </h2> <p>Four scenarios covering the most common SSR workloads:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Static SSR</strong> — Page with inline data, no async loader. Pure SSR throughput.</li> <li> <strong>Data Loading</strong> — Loader with simulated 10ms DB query. SSR + data fetching overhead.</li> <li> <strong>Streaming SSR</strong> — <code>defer()</code> + Suspense with 200ms delayed data. St
