It's easily on par with GPT-4 model by OpenAI and surpasses Google's largest Gemini 1.0 Ultra model. It's excellent at advanced reasoning, can process videos, handles large corpus of data in a single window, and you can do so much more. Read our detailed comparison between Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.0 Ultra, and GPT-4.

Vertical slabs have been requested for a long time. Thanks to some vertical slab mods, we can play around with them. You're able to place them on the edge of every side of a block and extend that upwards. Vertical slabs would provide a lot of building opportunities, but may also encourage players to not use the already existing blocks like walls. To fix this, Mojang should add more slabs and stairs variants so players have more options. Also, there could a command that lets you rotate slabs, so you can create your own vertical slabs.

Minecraft Legends is a spin-off strategy game set in the Minecraft world. The game started off strong, but its player base slowly started dwindling. One of the reasons was because of the pretty plain, shallow, and repetitive gameplay. Moreover, there was pretty much nothing to do after you beat the game's final boss. The game was very expensive, even tough it provided just a short campaign mode and a pretty directionless multiplayer mode. Minecraft Legends' development studio Mojang also neglected the game, offering zero communication, which meant players got no updates or news on its future development. Minecraft Legends was officially discontinued on January 10, 2024.
I have played LEGO Fortnite for 40+ hours and there's one thing I love about this game - the villagers. I never found anything similar in other survival games. The villagers in LEGO Fortnite is one the best thing to happen in any survival game. They help you out with all kinds of jobs and make you feel less lonely when you are playing in single-player mode. You can dance and chat with them while waiting for more content updates around them coming in future.

Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi Note 13 series in India. The Redmi Note 13 Pro and Note 13 Pro+ have arrived as the first two Note series phones with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Now this isn't a big deal, but the fingerprint sensor on the Note 13 Pro and 13 Pro Plus doubles as a heart rate sensor, so we decided to put it to the test. And I think it's just another gimmicky feature that everyone will forget about after a while.
