This just came out. @Michelle Hirsch spoke to Jousef Murad and answer his questions about the big change in the desktop in R2025a and explained what was going on behind the scene. Enjoy!
The Big MATLAB Update: Dark Mode, Cloud & the Future of Engineering - Michelle Hirsch
Large Languge model with MATLAB, a free add-on that lets you access LLMs from OpenAI, Azure, amd Ollama (to use local models) on MATLAB, has been updated to support OpenAI GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano.
According to OpenAI, "These models outperform GPT‑4o and GPT‑4o mini across the board, with major gains in coding and instruction following. They also have larger context windows—supporting up to 1 million tokens of context—and are able to better use that context with improved long-context comprehension."
What would you build with the latest update?
Our MathWorks Usability Team is working on an accessibility project and they want to interview people who use MATLAB and also have experience with screen readers.

MatGPT was launched on March 22, 2023 and I am amazed at how many times it has been downloaded since then - close to 16,000 downloads in one year. When AI Chat Playground came out on MATLAB Central, I thought surely that people will stop using MatGPT. Boy I was wrong.
In early 2023 I was playing with the new shiny toy called ChatGPT like everyone else but instead of having it tell me jokes or haiku, I wanted to know how I can use it on MATLAB, and I started collecting the prompts that worked. Someone suggested I should turn that into an app, and MatGPT was born with help from other colleagues.
Here is the question - what should I do with it now? Some people suggested I could add other LLMs like Gemini or Claude, but I am more interested in learning how people actually use it.
If you are a MatGPT user, do you mind sharing how you use the app?
Have you ever used Live Tasks in MATLAB? MathWorks development team would like to get some feedback on your experience – what did you like and not like. Especially, if you know about it but don’t use it frequently, we would like to understand why?

VS Code Extension for MATLAB was introduced back in April and has been downloaded 75K times since. Do people here use VS Code for writing MATLAB code?
Earlier this year a bunch of MATLAB users got together to talk about their hobbies in a lightning talk format.
- Using "UIHTML" to create app components and Lightning
- Creating generative art with MATLAB
- Making MATLAB run on the Steam Deck (it was a wager)
Do you use MATLAB for hobbies?
