"Nothing says 2025 like debugging why your AI agent is arguing with itself in a group chat you accidentally created."

OpenAI just dropped group chats in ChatGPT globally, and the builder community is already spinning up wild collaborative use cases. Meanwhile, Gemini's Nano Banana Pro is getting 601+ comments on HN for its next-gen text rendering capabilities. We've got the breakdown on both, plus a killer n8n workflow prompt that's saving devs hours.
