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."
You can follow this tutorial to create your own chatbot with LLMs with MATLAB.
What would you build with the latest update?
In case you missed it in my overview of the MATLAB R2025a release, Markdown support has been greatly improved. This picture says it all
The attached code is an animated solution of the three body problem. On 2024b it runs perfectly fine. When we tried it on 2025a, the animation constantly hitches, the CPU usage is almost double and the runtime is much slower. The curves also look less detailed and jagged in some places. When we run it without drawing anything, the performance seems comparable between versions, but still slightly slower. All of this behavior persists across different hardware. Anybody else having this kind of problem with the new release? I'm suspecting the graphics backend changes may be the culprit here...

Similar to what has happened with the wishlist threads (#1 #2 #3 #4 #5), the "what frustrates you about MATLAB" thread has become very large. This makes navigation difficult and increases page load times.
So here is the follow-up page.
What should you post where?
Wishlist threads (#1 #2 #3 #4 #5): bugs and feature requests for Matlab Answers
Frustation threads (#1 #2): frustations about usage and capabilities of Matlab itself
Missing feature threads (#1 #2): features that you whish Matlab would have had
Next Gen threads (#1): features that would break compatibility with previous versions, but would be nice to have
@anyone posting a new thread when the last one gets too large (about 50 answers seems a reasonable limit per thread), please update this list in all last threads. (if you don't have editing privileges, just post a comment asking someone to do the edit)
先日も X にポストしましたが、これ Ctrl + A, Ctrl + I

「めっちゃ使ってるこれ会社の人に教えたら「今までスペースキーで頑張ってたのはいったい…」て膝から崩れ落ちるような感じになってた」(X
そんな声がありました。

Hello, everyone! I’m Mark Hayworth, but you might know me better in the community as Image Analyst. I've been using MATLAB since 2006 (18 years). My background spans a rich career as a former senior scientist and inventor at The Procter & Gamble Company (HQ in Cincinnati). I hold both master’s & Ph.D. degrees in optical sciences from the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona, specializing in imaging, image processing, and image analysis. I have 40+ years of military, academic, and industrial experience with image analysis programming and algorithm development. I have experience designing custom light booths and other imaging systems. I also work with color and monochrome imaging, video analysis, thermal, ultraviolet, hyperspectral, CT, MRI, radiography, profilometry, microscopy, NIR, and Raman spectroscopy, etc. on a huge variety of subjects.
I'm thrilled to participate in MATLAB Central's Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, a fantastic platform for knowledge sharing and community engagement. Following Adam Danz’s insightful AMA on staff contributors in the Answers forum, I’d like to discuss topics in the area of image analysis and processing. I invite you to ask me anything related to this field, whether you're seeking recommendations on tools, looking for tips and tricks, my background, or career development advice. Additionally, I'm more than willing to share insights from my experiences in the MATLAB Answers community, File Exchange, and my role as a member of the Community Advisory Board. If you have questions related to your specific images or your custom MATLAB code though, I'll invite you to ask those in the Answers forum. It's a more appropriate forum for those kinds of questions, plus you can get the benefit of other experts offering their solutions in addition to me.
For the coming weeks, I'll be here to engage with your questions and help shed light on any topics you're curious about.
Hey MATLAB enthusiasts!
I just stumbled upon this hilariously effective GitHub repo for image deformation using Moving Least Squares (MLS)—and it’s pure gold for anyone who loves playing with pixels! 🎨✨
  1. Real-Time Magic
  • Precomputes weights and deformation data upfront, making it blazing fast for interactive edits. Drag control points and watch the image warp like rubber! (2)
  • Supports affine, similarity, and rigid deformations—because why settle for one flavor of chaos?
  1. Single-File Simplicity 🧩
  • All packed into one clean MATLAB class (mlsImageWarp.m).
  1. Endless Fun Use Cases 🤹
  • Turn your pet’s photo into a Picasso painting.
  • "Fix" your friend’s smile... aggressively.
  • Animate static images with silly deformations (1).
Try the Demo!
Hi everyone,
Please check out our new book "Generative AI for Trading and Asset Management".
GenAI is usually associated with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, or with image generation tools like MidJourney, essentially, machines that can learn from text or images and generate text or images. But in reality, these models can learn from many different types of data. In particular, they can learn from time series of asset returns, which is perhaps the most relevant for asset managers.
In our book (amazon.com link), we explore both the practical applications and the fundamental principles of GenAI, with a special focus on how these technologies apply to trading and asset management.
The book is divided into two broad parts:
Part 1 is written by Ernie Chan, noted author of Quantitative Trading, Algorithmic Trading, and Machine Trading. It starts with no-code applications of GenAI for traders and asset managers with little or no coding experience. After that, it takes readers on a whirlwind tour of machine learning techniques commonly used in finance.
Part 2, written by Hamlet, covers the fundamentals and technical details of GenAI, from modeling to efficient inference. This part is for those who want to understand the inner workings of these models and how to adapt them to their own custom data and applications. It’s for anyone who wants to go beyond the high-level use cases, get their hands dirty, and apply, and eventually improve these models in real-world practical applications.
Readers can start with whichever part they want to explore and learn from.

I'm beginning this MATLAB-based numerical methods class, and as I was thinking back to my previous MATLAB/Simulink classes, I definitely remember some projects more fondly than others. One of my most memorable was where I had to use MATLAB to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) peaks. What about you guys? What are some of the best (or worst 🤭) MATLAB projects or assignments you've been given in the past?
The new figure toolstrip in R2025a was designed from multiple feedback cycles with MATLAB users. See the latest article in the Graphics and App Building blog to see the evolution of the figure toolbar from 1996-2025, learn how user feedback shaped the new toolstrip, and check out the new code-generation feature that makes interactive data exporation reproducible.

In a discussion on LInkedin about my recent blog post, Do these 3 things to increase the reach of your open source MATLAB toolbox, I was asked by "Could you elaborate on why someone might consider opening/sharing their code? Thinking of early-career researchers, what might be in it for them?"
I'll give my answer here but I'm more interested in yours. How would you have answered this?
This is what I said:
  • It's the right thing to do scientifically. A computational paper is essentially just an advertisement of what you've done. The code contains vital details about how you actually did it. A computational paper is incomplete without the code.
  • If you only describe your algorithm in a paper, I have to implement it before I can apply your research to my problem. If you share the code, I can get started much more quickly using your research. This means I publish faster and since I am a good scientist, this means you get cited faster.
  • Other scientists start off as users of your code. This leads to citations. Over time, some of them start deeply using and modifying your code, this leads to collaborators.
  • Once you decide to share code via something like GitHub, you quickly start adopting good software engineering practices without initially realizing it. This improves the quality of your research since adopting good software practices makes it more likely that your software will give the right answers.
That last point can be a little hard to get your head around sometimes. Even if all you do is use file upload to get your stuff onto GitHub (i.e. you're not using git properly yet) you will start to naturally converge towards better code.
Why? Because as soon as you share code, you have to solve the problem of getting it to run on someone else's machine.
A trivial example concerns hard coded paths, for example. If you only ever run it on your machine then having a line like datafile = "C:\Mystuff\data.csv" always works but it breaks as soon as I try to run it on my machine. You'll look at this and think "Maybe there's a better way to do that".
Similarly dependencies. Your Path may be full of stuff that isn't present on my machine. As soon as I try to run your code, it won't work and you'll have to figure out how to handle dependencies in a reproducible way.
Documentation! An empty README.md is no good if you expect me to know how to use your code. You at least have to say something like "To run this, type runme(N) into MATLAB where N is the size of the model...etc etc)
The act of sharing, and dealing with the consequences, leads to much better code than if you keep it to yourself.
