Deep Dive 🔍

• Big tech shake-up: Microsoft and Apple exit OpenAI board 🌐
  
  Microsoft and Apple are vacating their positions on OpenAI's board. Microsoft, a non-voting observer for eight months, and Apple, which planned to join, will now have regular meetings with OpenAI. The change might be linked to antitrust probes in the U.S. and EU. Microsoft, with a $10 billion investment in OpenAI, continues to use GPT in its AI products. Microsoft states its observer role is unnecessary now, while Apple declined to comment.

• A16z stockpiles GPUs to support AI startup boom 💻⚡
  
  A16z is stockpiling GPUs, including Nvidia H100s, to support AI startups. The venture capital firm has obtained thousands of AI chips and plans to grow this number to over 20,000 GPUs. The 'Oxygen' program will allow a16z to rent these GPUs to its portfolio companies at reduced rates in exchange for equity. Luma AI highlighted GPU access as a reason for partnering with a16z. This strategy enhances a16z's role in the AI investment landscape.
  
  

  

• Anthropic boosts AI development with enhanced prompt tools 🔧
  
  Anthropic has added new features to its console to aid developers in prompt engineering. These tools allow for generating, testing, and evaluating prompts with the Claude 3.5 Sonnet language model. Designed to enhance input creation and improve responses for specific tasks, these features offer quick feedback for prompt improvements. The Evaluate tab lets developers test prompt effectiveness in different scenarios, comparing and rating responses. A blog example shows how prompt adjustments can save time and effort. The CEO highlighted prompt engineering's role in AI's enterprise adoption.
  
  

  

• Oxford researchers create low-cost AI hallucination detector 🔎
  
  University of Oxford researchers have introduced "Semantic Entropy Probes" (SEPs) to efficiently detect AI errors by measuring semantic entropy, reducing computational costs. SEPs predict uncertainty from a single response, performing well across various AI model layers. This method balances accuracy and efficiency.
  

• Google Gemini AI makes its way onto Samsung’s Galaxy foldable 📲
  
  Google has introduced new Gemini features for Samsung devices, including overlay and split-screen interfaces. The Circle to Search functionality is now expanded to support math equations and barcode scanning. YouTube has launched a multiview feature on Android, allowing users to watch up to four streams simultaneously. Wear OS 5 enhancements will ship with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra. Samsung has also announced the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, available for pre-order with shipping starting July 24.

• Nvidia targets 'ImageNet-Like Revolution' in AI hardware design 🛠️
  
  Nvidia and its partners have launched a competition to improve hardware design using large language models (LLMs). The goal is to create an open-source dataset of Verilog code for LLM training, addressing the lack of hardware-specific code in current models. The competition has two phases: collecting or generating Verilog code, and enhancing the dataset through data cleansing and label generation. Registration ends in July, with results announced in October.
  
  

• OpenAI & Thrive create AI-powered health coach for holistic well-being 🏋️
  
  The OpenAI Startup Fund and Thrive Global introduced Thrive AI Health, an AI health coach focused on personalized behavior change in sleep, nutrition, fitness, stress, and social connections. Using scientific research and biometric data, it offers tailored advice. DeCarlos Love, previously at Google, is the new CEO. OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Thrive’s Ariana Huffington highlighted AI’s potential in aiming to improve health and reduce chronic disease with this innovative tool.
