    Anyone can try Copilot 3D right now.

    There are a variety of AI-powered tools to convert 2D images to 3D ones, but Microsoft has just introduced its own Copilot 3D feature that’s free of charge. It converts images to the GLB format, which is compatible with 3D viewers, design tools, and game engines. Just be warned, it doesn’t work well with animals or humans.

    It’s nearly GPT-5 time.

    If it wasn’t obvious already, OpenAI is launching GPT-5 today. The live stream, which begins at 10AM PT / 1PM ET, confirms that OpenAI will “introduce and demo GPT-5.” GitHub already spilled the beans earlier today, and we’re now expecting four variants of GPT-5, with some improvements to agentic capabilities and the ability to handle “complex coding tasks with minimal prompting.”

    LG Display has a 540Hz OLED panel with a 720Hz mode.

    LG Display is showing off “the world’s fastest OLED monitor panel” at K-Display in Seoul this week. The 27-inch OLED panel has a 540Hz refresh rate at native 1440p resolution, and it can also deliver a 720Hz refresh rate in a 720p mode.

    LG Display also has a 45-inch 5K2K OLED panel (5120 x 2160), which it says “boasts the world’s highest resolution among existing OLED monitor panels.” Hopefully, this means we’ll see a lot more OLED monitor options at CES early next year.

    Correction, August 20th: LG Display now says the 720Hz mode is 720p, not 1080p. It previously asked us to correct our story to say it was 1080p, not 720p, but then asked for a second correction saying the opposite.
