After an outcry, OpenAI swiftly rereleased 4o to paid users. But experts say it should not have removed the model so suddenly.

OpenAI’s decision to replace 4o with the more straightforward GPT-5 follows a steady drumbeat of news about the potentially harmful effects of extensive chatbot use. Reports of incidents in which ChatGPT sparked psychosis in users have been everywhere for the past few months, and in a blog post last week, OpenAI acknowledged 4o’s failure to…

‘Cheapfake’ AI Celeb Videos Are Rage-Baiting People on YouTube

“They’re tweaking my voice or whatever they’re doing, tweaking their own voice to make it sound like me, and people are commenting on it like it is me and it ain’t me,” Washington recently told WIRED, when asked about AI. “I don’t have an Instagram account. I don’t have TikTok. I don’t have any of…

GPT-5 Doesn’t Dislike You—It Might Just Need a Benchmark for Emotional Intelligence

Since the all-new ChatGPT launched on Thursday, some users have mourned the disappearance of a peppy and encouraging personality in favor of a colder, more businesslike one (a move seemingly designed to reduce unhealthy user behavior.) The backlash shows the challenge of building artificial intelligence systems that exhibit anything like real emotional intelligence. Researchers at…

OpenAI Designed GPT-5 to Be Safer. It Still Outputs Gay Slurs

OpenAI is trying to make its chatbot less annoying with the release of GPT-5. And I’m not talking about adjustments to its synthetic personality that many users have complained about. Before GPT-5, if the AI tool determined it couldn’t answer your prompt because the request violated OpenAI’s content guidelines, it would hit you with a…

🚀 Bytedocs: A Modern Alternative to Swagger

psitbdUser4 hours ago04 mins

For years, Swagger has been the go-to for API documentation. And while it’s solid, let’s be honest—it feels kinda outdated in today’s developer workflow.

That’s why I built Bytedocs: a fresh, modern alternative to Swagger that not only documents your APIs but also helps you test, explore, and even stress-test them.

👉 Check it out: bytedocs.dev

🤔 What Makes Bytedocs Different?

Unlike traditional tools that stop at generating static docs, Bytedocs is designed to be multi-language, interactive, and developer-friendly from day one.

Here’s what it brings to the table:

📚 Modern API Documentation

Clean, responsive, and easy-to-use docs.
Looks great across devices.
Not just another Swagger clone.

🌍 Multi-Language Support

Dedicated repos for different stacks.
Example: bytedocs-laravel
More languages coming soon (Go, Node.js, etc.).

🎯 Scenario Runner

Group multiple endpoints into a single scenario.
Run complete flows in one click (e.g., login → create → fetch → delete).
Great for integration and workflow testing.

🤖 AI Assistant

Ask AI about your endpoints directly.
No more hunting through pages of docs to figure out required params.

⚡ Roadmap: Load & Performance Testing

Planned native integration with K6.
Run load tests without leaving your API docs.

🛠 Getting Started

Want to try it out? Start with the Laravel package:
👉 bytedocs-laravel

Installation is simple, and you’ll have your docs live in minutes.

🌐 The API Documentation Landscape

Swagger may be the most widely known, but it’s not the only player in the game:

Scalar: a newer open-source project with a sleek UI and growing community (~12k GitHub stars). Great for modern docs, but still focused mostly on visualization.
Redoc: clean and minimal OpenAPI renderer, often used for public-facing docs.
Stoplight: more of a design-first platform with collaboration features.
ReadMe / Bump.sh / Mintlify: commercial platforms that bring analytics, portals, and customization on top of docs.

These tools are all awesome in their own ways, but most of them stay within the boundary of “documentation”

That’s where Bytedocs is different—it’s not just another viewer for your OpenAPI spec. It’s a developer toolkit that connects docs with scenarios, AI, and testing.
