🔮 Apple could add AI cameras to the Apple Watch LINK
  • Apple is developing Apple Watch models with integrated cameras that would analyze the wearer's environment and provide contextual information, with standard models featuring screen-mounted cameras and Ultra versions having cameras near the controls.
  • The initiative extends Apple's existing "Visual Intelligence" feature from iPhone 16 to wearables, leveraging AI technology that can identify landmarks and translate text, with future plans to implement this in other devices including camera-equipped AirPods.
  • Though these camera-enabled Apple Watches remain several generations away, they represent Apple's strategy of embedding AI capabilities into established products rather than creating standalone AI devices like the struggling AI Pin.
💥 DeepSeek drops major upgrade to DeepSeek V3 LINK
  • DeepSeek has released a new version of their large language model, DeepSeek-V3-0324, with an MIT license and 641 GB of files, marking a change from their previous custom licensing approach.
  • Developer Awni Hannun has already demonstrated the model running at over 20 tokens per second on high-end consumer hardware using a 4-bit quantization that reduces the model size to 352 GB.
  • The model is available on OpenRouter for testing through their chat interface, where it can successfully handle creative requests like generating descriptions of pelicans with detailed factual information.
🚗 Chinese EV giant BYD surpasses rival Tesla LINK
  • Chinese carmaker BYD exceeded $100 billion in annual sales, outperforming Tesla and strengthening its position in China's market where it commands nearly 15% market share, particularly among younger consumers preferring affordable domestic brands.
  • Despite BYD's sales advantage, Tesla maintains a higher market valuation and broader global presence, while BYD faces significant barriers like high tariffs that prevent entry to the American market.
  • BYD recently unveiled an impressive flash-charging system that can provide approximately 250 miles of range within just five minutes, adding to its competitive edge in at least 10 non-Western countries where its vehicles cost less than Tesla's.
🧬 23andMe files for bankruptcy as CEO steps down LINK
  • DNA testing company 23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection while CEO Anne Wojcicki has resigned from her position but remains on the board as the company pursues a court-supervised sale process.
  • The once-valued tech unicorn has experienced a dramatic decline, with its stock plummeting to around $1 and market capitalization shrinking to approximately $25 million from its peak valuation of nearly $6 billion.
  • Despite facing significant challenges including a major data breach affecting nearly 7 million users and ongoing privacy concerns, the company pledges to maintain data protection standards during its restructuring efforts.
🤖 Google rolls out Gemini’s real-time AI video features LINK
  • Google has begun rolling out new AI features to Gemini Live that allow it to analyze what's on your screen or through your camera and provide real-time responses about what it sees.
  • The two features, part of Google's "Project Astra" technology, include screen-reading capability and live video interpretation which are now available to Gemini Advanced subscribers.
  • With these enhancements, Google maintains its competitive advantage in AI assistants as rivals like Amazon's Alexa Plus and Apple's upgraded Siri face delays in launching similar capabilities.
