Evolution: they plan on releasing the build within the next week, read the article.....

We have some excellent news! Lars Erik Bolstad, the Head of Core Technology at Opera Software, sent me the following information to share:

I have a quick update on where we are with Acid3.

Since the test was officially announced recently, our Core developers have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding the missing standards support.

Today we reached a 100% pass rate for the first time! There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed, but we hope to have those sorted out shortly.

We will release a technical preview version on labs.opera.com within the next week or so. For now, the screenshot above shows the Acid3 test as rendered in our latest WinGogi Desktop build. WinGogi is the Windows version of our reference builds used for the internal testing of Opera's platform independent Core.

unless that build is downloadable.... it can't be confirmed...

It still doesn't pass the test, so even 100/100 doesn't mean that much... (if synthetic tests can mean that much to begin with... here we already have a perfect score with a wrong rendering :p)

I wonder what version of opera that is. I just ran mine and got 60/100 only. If it is a new build I hope they realese it soon.

It's supposedly a post-9.5 build, maybe a Peregrin prototype or something? Supposedly will be available for download in a week or so, albeit for now you can download a snapshot build of Opera 9.5 that passes 77/100

there's space missing between the "," and "a" in "To pass the test, a browser..."

It's a problem with all available Opera builds AFAIK, from 9.0 to 9.26 to the latest 9.5 snapshot to this internal post-9.5 build.

WebKit is at 98/100 and is downloadable right now. http://webkit.org/blog/170/webkit-hits-98100-on-acid3/

well, WebKit also has its own share of rendering problems unrelated to the scores that's preventing it from achieving a pixel-perfect result of the reference image, so even a 100/100 won't mean a pass either.

So Opera made it to 100 first, good job.

I dont get the "but still not yet pass...", if you are refering to "There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed," that could mean other stuff not related to the test.

Edit: the screenshot is too small for me to even see if there is a missing space between "," amd "a". Looks fine to me.

well, to quote the test itself "To pass the test,a browser must use its default settings, the animation has to be smooth, the score has to end on 100/100, and the final page has to look exactly, pixel for pixel, like this reference rendering." It's the "pixel for pixel" part that this build of Opera in the screenshot fails, at least by a whole space character, which is quite a lot of pixels :laugh:

And we don't know whether the animation is smooth or not... for example the current build of WebKit is NOT smooth on the animation... :shiftyninja:

This is quite surprising. Webkit's making good progress but up until now we all figured Opera's weekly builds were their only sign of progress. Is it just me or this is the first time I've heard of "WinGogi"?

Nevertheless, (Y) to them.

I havent used Opera in a long time. It was my favorite browser for some time but im lazy and just use IE7/8 in Vista but I might give it a shot when this new build comes out.

I remember playing around with ubuntu and was :( that I couldnt get Opera working on the 64-bit version and had to use firefox.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
