Disrupting a Trillion Dollar Market

Did you know that car factories, like Ford, can output one car per minute? Why hasn't anyone done that in the housing industry?

Before BOXABL, the concept of building houses in a factory seemed impractical. With their patented shipping technology, merging housing with assembly line mass production could be a game-changer.

Join 40,000 investors, invest in BOXABL today.

Shares are $0.80 each and the minimum investment is just $1,000.

💥 Apple set to unveil boldest software redesign in years LINK
  • Apple is planning significant design updates for its iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems, marking the most substantial revamp in years, according to a Bloomberg report.
  • The upcoming iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16 will feature refreshed icons, menus, apps, windows, and buttons, aiming to simplify user navigation and control based on VisionOS design elements.
  • This major redesign effort is led by Alan Dye, Apple's VP of human interface design, and the new software will be previewed at the Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
🚀 Eric Schmidt is the newest Big Tech-to-space exec LINK
  • Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, is now leading the rocket startup Relativity Space as its new chief executive, replacing co-founder Tim Ellis in the role.
  • Schmidt joins other notable tech leaders like Elon Musk of SpaceX and Jeff Bezos of Blue Origin in transitioning from technology to space ventures.
  • Relativity Space, known for launching the first 3D printed rocket, is developing the Terran R with plans for a late 2026 launch, while Schmidt has invested significantly in the company, gaining a controlling interest.
🤖 Meta tests its first in-house AI training chip LINK
  • Meta is testing its first proprietary AI training chip to reduce infrastructure costs and decrease reliance on Nvidia and other suppliers, according to sources cited by Reuters.
  • This chip is part of Meta's broader initiative to design custom silicon and enhance control over AI hardware, with plans to ramp up production if initial tests are successful.
  • Manufactured by Taiwan-based TSMC, the chip is part of the MTIA series and aims to eventually support recommendation systems and generative AI products, with training expected by 2026.
♟️ In another chess move with Microsoft, OpenAI is pouring $12B into CoreWeave LINK
  • OpenAI has entered into a five-year, $11.9 billion agreement with CoreWeave, a cloud service company specializing in GPUs, gaining both access and ownership stakes in CoreWeave.
  • Previously reliant on Microsoft for a major portion of its revenue, CoreWeave's new deal with OpenAI should ease investor concerns as it prepares for a public offering.
  • Microsoft, a significant investor in OpenAI, faces growing competition as OpenAI diversifies its cloud partnerships and develops AI models to rival Microsoft's own AI initiatives.
🎮 Sony tests AI-powered Playstation characters LINK
  • Sony is exploring AI-driven video game characters capable of engaging players in conversations, similar to chatbots like ChatGPT, as demonstrated in a now-pulled video featuring Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West.
  • The AI character employs technology from Meta and OpenAI for non-scripted interactions, with Sony's Mockingbird software animating facial expressions and replicating the voice of actor Ashly Burch.
  • Currently, this AI technology is still in the prototype phase, with Sony indicating no immediate plans to integrate it into consumer games due to hardware limitations on existing consoles.
