The AI plugin (formerly AI Experiments) continues to evolve.

In 0.6.0 you can:
• Refine generated images iteratively
• Edit existing images in the Media Library
• Use preset editing workflows
• Benefit from improved editor integration and developer tooling

This release moves us closer to native-feeling AI workflows in WordPress.

Tiger Sanctuary – 500 Piece Puzzle

The Tiger Sanctuary 500-piece puzzle was a fun challenge with tricky tiger colors. We focused on the plants and elephants to make progress. Oops, we forgot to test the glow-in-the-dark feature! Guess we’ll try again soon!

AI Experiments 0.5.0 has been released!

This update aligns the plugin with WordPress 7.0’s built-in AI infrastructure, removes standalone AI client dependencies, and migrates credentials to the new Connectors screen.

A recent family puzzle night featured a puzzle from Fueled Shop, our company’s Pressto Shop-powered merch store. The experience highlighted both the convenience of print-on-demand merchandise and some of its tradeoffs.

I’m pleased to be a founding donor to the Open Source Endowment, a new initiative exploring a community-funded endowment model to sustainably support critical open source infrastructure.

The WordPress community has created the Zeel Thakkar Memorial Scholarship to help women from India and Nepal attend WordCamp Asia.

I had the chance to see Zeel contributing during WordPress 6.7 and 6.8 release parties and was saddened by her passing. I’ve made a donation and hope others will consider supporting this effort.

We just shared the first draft of AI Guidelines for WordPress contributions. The goal is to make contributing in an AI era easier to navigate, and your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
