| 💥 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.
