WhatsApp now lets you create ChatGPT-generated AI photos in chat
WhatsApp users can now use ChatGPT as an image generator inside of the messaging app. To get started, you just need to add the chatbot as a contact and feed it a prompt in the chat.
There are no special requirements for use, and the service is available to everyone, ChatGPT maker OpenAI said in a post on X.
To add the chatbot, you need to save the number +1 800 2428478 (selecting the United States as the country code) as a contact in WhatsApp. Alternatively, you can use the following short link to get started: wa.me/18002428478
ChatGPT generates images based on descriptions or uploaded pictures provided as input.
ChatGPT has already been available as a text-based chatbot on WhatsApp since late 2024. Those who have already added it as a contact do not need to set up a new chat and can use the existing one to generate images, provided they do not exceed a certain daily limit.
First-time users adding ChatGPT as a contact will receive a notification after their first query, informing them that they are interacting with an AI assistant and agreeing to the terms of use and privacy policy.
Additionally, users are warned that the chatbot may make errors and that conversations may be reviewed "for security reasons." Therefore, personal, sensitive or confidential data or photos should not be shared in the chat.

In latest family venture, Trump Organization launches smartphone
The Trump Organization's latest business venture is about a golden phone and a wireless plan. This mobile venture will operate on three American wireless carriers; AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, according to the Trump Organization, now led by President Donald Trump's children while he is in office. In the ad, an image of the 6.8-inch phone screen is displayed above Trump's slogan, 'Make America Great Again' and a cropped image of the American flag. The phone has a fingerprint sensor and an artificial intelligence face unlock. The T1 Phone is available for pre-order as of June 16 ahead of its September release. It is described as a 'sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.' The phone's marketing may be all-American but it's unclear if the Trump Organization will be able to manufacture these devices in the U.S. at such a low price. 'The country lacks much of the necessary infrastructure to produce smartphones,' as The New York Times notes. It costs $499 and runs on an Android operating system. 'All-American performance. Everyday price,' the website for Trump Mobile says. The '47″ mobile plan, a 5G network, offers unlimited texting, calling and data, as well as device insurance for $47.45 per month. The price holds a meaning: Trump was the 45th president and was reelected to serve as the 47th in 2024. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the president's eldest and third-eldest children, announced the initiative at the Trump Tower in Manhattan on Monday. 'We are going to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance on their cars, unlimited texting to 100 countries around the world,' said Trump Jr. The announcement came on the same day as the 10-year anniversary of the day Trump came down the golden escalator at the very same Trump Tower and launched his candidacy for president. It also raises ethical concerns about the sitting president's children using the Trump name for monetization. Scott Lincicome, the vice president of Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, in a post on X, also pointed out this business could benefit from the Trump White House's controversial tariff policies. 'So the guy who can singlehandedly set U.S. tariffs on smartphones is launching his own U.S. smartphone company,' Lincicome said, 'do I have that right?' This venture is in addition to other Trump family sales pitches — including for Bibles, sneakers, watches and cryptocurrency — rolled out since the start of Trump's political career.

This Clean Energy Penny Stock Has U.S. Military Backing. Should You Buy It Now?
At the end of May, Hyliion (HYLN) caught the market's eye with a breakthrough that turned the tide in its favor. The company secured selection from the Air Force and the Department of Defense's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office to meet a critical operational need. Hyliion will supply its KARNO power modules which will help the Air Force maintain essential functions during fuel supply disruptions by effortlessly switching between available fuels. Investors reacted swiftly, sending HYLN stock up by 50% on May 28. The 'Golden Era' for Tesla Starts June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock First? 3 Highly-Rated Dividend Stocks You've Probably Never Heard Of (But Should) AMD Just Landed a New Microsoft Partnership. Should You Buy AMD Stock Here? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Having earned status to directly support the Air Force, Hyliion now stands on firmer ground and can help the military's shift toward a more flexible and resilient energy framework. With a significant catalyst behind it and a nearly 50% upside potential, how should you play HYLN stock here? Hyliion (HYLN), is currently valued at $251 million. The company develops generators for stationary and mobile use. Its flagship KARNO generator operates on conventional fuels, landfill and wellhead gas, plus renewable hydrogen and ammonia, delivering versatile, efficient distributed power solutions across a wide range of energy sources. Despite the broader market winds pushing against it, with a year-to-date decline of 47.5%, HYLN has now turned the tables. Over the past month, the stock has climbed by nearly 9%, in attempt to turnaround its story. On May 13, Hyliion released its first-quarter earnings report for 2025, revealing results that fell short of Wall Street's projections. The company reported revenue of $489,000, primarily derived from research and development services under its contract with the Office of Naval Research. The figure lagged the anticipated $1.1 million. The cost of revenue stood at $477,000, leading to a near-breakeven gross margin for the quarter. Operating expenses climbed 3.9% to $19.7 million, driven by an increase in R&D spending, which surged to $12.2 million from $8 million in Q1 2024. The jump reflected intensified activity in additive manufacturing, procurement of long-lead components, and escalating costs tied to ongoing development of KARNO Power Modules. The bottom line showed net loss widening 10.7% to $17.3 million. Loss per share grew 11.1% year over year coming in at $0.10, missing the expected $0.08 per-share loss. Consequently, the company now anticipates full-year 2025 cash outlays around $65 million, an increase from its previous $60 million guidance. Hyliion has maintained its full-year revenue guidance of $10 million to $15 million, propelled by KARNO module sales and ongoing R&D services, while projecting a year-end cash and investment balance near $155 million. Analysts, meanwhile, foresee the Q2 loss per share widening by 50% to $0.09 and full-year 2025 losses increasing by 17.9% to $0.33. The outlook for 2026, however, shows a silver lining, with loss per share expected to narrow by 3% to $0.32. Despite unveiling fresh developments and forging new collaborations, Hyliion finds itself grappling with sluggish revenue growth and mounting operational expenses. A single announcement of a military partnership, while promising, falls short of igniting strong investor confidence in the stock. Currently, HYLN carries a 'Hold' consensus with only one analyst in coverage. That analyst has a price target of $2 on shares, representing upside potential of nearly 50%.

These 2 AI Stocks Give You Access to China's ‘New AI Tiger' MiniMax
Chinese AI startup MiniMax is emerging as a formidable competitor to DeepSeek, having recently launched breakthrough products, including the M1 reasoning model, which uses less than half the computing power of DeepSeek-R1. The Shanghai-based company, valued at $2.5 billion in its March 2024 funding round, is preparing for a Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) as early as this year. MiniMax represents one of China's 'four new AI tigers' competing against Western giants, such as OpenAI. The company's latest innovations include the Hailuo 02 video generator and MiniMax Agent, which indicate it is poised to gain traction in the generative AI space. Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 30 The 'Golden Era' for Tesla Starts June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock First? Nvidia Is Quickly Approaching a New Record High. Is It Too Late to Buy NVDA Stock? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Investors can gain exposure to MiniMax through two major stakeholders: Alibaba (BABA) and Tencent (TCEHY), both of which are strategic investors in the startup. This provides retail investors with indirect access to one of China's most promising AI companies, without requiring them to wait for the IPO. However, industry experts warn that these so-called AI tigers face sustainability challenges, with most still burning cash while seeking viable profit models beyond free trials and limited enterprise customization. Valued at a market capitalization of $593 billion, Tencent is one of the largest companies in China. In Q1, it reported revenue of $25.1 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase, while net income grew 22% to $8.5 billion. The technology giant's gross profit exceeded $14 billion for the first time, demonstrating strong operational leverage across its diversified business portfolio. Tencent's strategic AI investments are already generating tangible returns across multiple segments. Marketing services revenue accelerated 20% year-over-year, benefiting from AI-powered advertising improvements that enhanced click-through rates from historical 1% levels to 3% in certain inventories. Domestic Games achieved exceptional 24% growth, with flagship titles like Honor of Kings and Peacekeeper Elite reaching record quarterly revenues, supported by AI-enhanced user engagement and content optimization. Tencent's Weixin ecosystem, serving 1.4 billion monthly active users, is becoming the centerpiece of its AI strategy. The tech giant has integrated the Yuanbao AI assistant directly into Weixin chats, enabling context-aware responses and content discovery. Weixin Search now incorporates large language model results, while AI-powered tools help content creators generate images and video effects, significantly reducing the time required for Mini Program development. The gaming portfolio demonstrated remarkable strength, with Delta Force achieving 12 million peak daily active users and becoming the highest-ranked new mobile game released in China over the past three years. International games grew 23% year-over-year, driven by titles including PUBG Mobile and Brawl Stars. Management emphasized that current AI investments represent a long-term value creation strategy, with CEO Pony Ma noting that while near-term costs may temporarily narrow operating leverage, these investments will generate 'substantial incremental returns' over the longer term. Tencent increased capital expenditures by 91% year-over-year to $3.8 billion, primarily for investments in GPUs and servers to enhance its AI capabilities. Out of the 16 analysts covering Tencent stock, 13 recommend 'Strong Buy,' two recommend 'Moderate Buy,' and one recommends 'Hold.' The average target price for Tencent stock is $90, roughly 41% above the current price of $64. In fiscal Q4 2025 (ended in March), Alibaba grew its sales by 7% year over year to $32.6 billion. A focus on operational efficiency allowed the e-commerce giant to increase adjusted EBITDA by 36% to $4.6 billion. Alibaba's AI and cloud computing initiatives are driving momentum. Alibaba Cloud achieved accelerated 18% revenue growth, powered by sustained triple-digit growth in AI-related products for the seventh consecutive quarter. Management highlighted the expansion of AI adoption beyond large enterprises to small and medium-sized businesses, with new customers migrating from traditional offline infrastructure to cloud-based AI services across various sectors, including manufacturing, financial services, and even animal farming. E-commerce operations showed strong user engagement, with Taobao and Tmall Group's customer management revenue growing 12% year-over-year, driven by improved monetization through the Quanzhantui advertising platform and new software service fees. The platform's premium 88VIP membership exceeded 50 million users, demonstrating growing customer loyalty and spending power. International expansion accelerated through Alibaba International Digital Commerce (AIDC), which achieved 22% revenue growth driven by robust cross-border business performance. It remains on track to achieve quarterly profitability in its international e-commerce operations. Alibaba strengthened its balance sheet by divesting non-core assets, generating $2.6 billion in cash proceeds. The company returned $16.5 billion to shareholders through $11.9 billion in share repurchases and $4.6 billion in dividends, including a 5% increase in annual dividends. With a strong $50.5 billion net cash position, Alibaba is well-positioned to capitalize on AI opportunities while maintaining its commitment to shareholder returns. Out of the 20 analysts covering BABA stock, 19 recommend 'Strong Buy' and one recommends 'Moderate Buy.' The average target price for BABA stock is $162, 44% above the current price.
