🤖 Apple's ChatGPT rival moves forward LINK
  • Apple is actively testing its ChatGPT rival, a 150 billion parameter cloud-based model, which reportedly shows competitive performance against recent rollouts.
  • The company uses an internal tool called "Playground" for benchmarks, revealing the model approaches ChatGPT's quality but still tends to hallucinate.
  • Work on this AI faces challenges, including "philosophical differences" among executives and the same problems that have delayed the overall Siri overhaul.
👀 Meta aims to fully automate advertising with AI by 2026 LINK
  • Meta intends full AI-driven automation for advertising creation and targeting by the end of 2026, where companies only need to provide a product image and budget.
  • The technology is envisioned to subsequently craft entire campaigns, generating all necessary visuals, video, text, and defining precise audience segments for advertisers.
  • This automated approach aims to personalize ads in real time based on viewer context, a strategic pillar for the company supported by its Llama models.
📱 Samsung may incorporate Perplexity’s AI tech in its phones LINK
  • Samsung is reportedly nearing an investment in AI search startup Perplexity, a deal that would also incorporate the AI company's technology into its devices.
  • Discussions include pre-installing Perplexity’s app and assistant on its phones, plus integrating its search features within their default browser.
  • The AI firm’s tech might also power some of Bixby's features, Samsung's own assistant, with a partnership potentially unveiled later this current year.
💬 Elon Musk launches XChat with ‘Bitcoin-style encryption’ LINK
  • Elon Musk announced XChat, a new X messaging service, claiming it offers "Bitcoin-style encryption" and is developed using the Rust programming language.
  • Bitcoin experts quickly refuted Musk's encryption statement, clarifying the cryptocurrency itself is not encrypted but uses elliptic curve cryptography for core security.
  • Bitcoin's network actually relies on elliptic curve cryptography, a mathematical lock system, plus SHA-256 hashing for transaction validation and overall security.
🧠 Neuralink competitor completes first human implant LINK
  • Neuralink competitor Paradromics announced surgeons inserted its Connexus brain implant into a person for the first time, safely removing the device after roughly 10 minutes.
  • This initial procedure at University of Michigan involved temporarily placing the implant in the patient’s temporal lobe, verifying it could record electrical signals from their brain.
  • The company's technology, featuring 420 tiny protruding needles, is designed to translate neural signals into synthesized speech, text, and cursor control for individuals with paralysis.
