Hello ? What is this place to do?

In the 2024 annual report (released today), the message from Scratch's President/CEO has this:

As we look ahead to Scratch 4.0 and our ambitious goal to reach the next 100 million children by 2027, …

Also, 4.0 was teased earlier in a Scratch job application section (which can't be linked because it indirectly leads to filling out contact information):

In 2025, we’re responding to this growth by focusing on three strategic priorities: developing the new Scratch 4.0, with a re-imagined online community and creative AI; amplifying the impact of Scratch through our programs and research; and developing a robust business model to ensure a sustainable future for the software and the Foundation.

It was announced back in April that AI would be added to Scratch, so it seems 4.0 may be coming in the not-so-distant future. Any thoughts?

It shows the CLA being used on the rest of the site as well as the editor, and also expresses some of the concerns that the community now has.

I tried this out, and the AI would never respond, and Scratch would just highlight the block where the AI is supposed to return something, and it would stay on that forever. Can anyone else tell me if the AI blocks are working for them?

Still thought it would be good information, especially since it confirms the release year as 2027.

They must have disabled it since we found out about it. It was working before, but now it doesn't work for me either.

No I think they’ve ran out of API credits or what’s it called from what I’ve heard
