Deep Dive 🔍

• Apple Macs to undergo AI revolution with M4 chips 💻️
  
  Apple is readying a major update across its Mac lineup with the introduction of the M4 chip family, focusing on enhanced AI functionalities. The M4 chips, which are close to entering production, will feature the basic Donan, the advanced Brava, and the elite Hidra models. The transition, spanning from late 2024 to early 2025, will begin with new versions of iMacs, MacBook Pros, and Mac Minis, and later include MacBook Airs, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro. More details will be unveiled at the developer conference scheduled for June 10. With Apple’s Mac sales needing a boost and its AI capabilities seen as underdeveloped, this update could be a game-changer, with a significant reveal expected in June.
  
  

• Meta trials its AI chatbot across WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger in India and Africa 📱 
  
  Meta is testing its advanced chatbot, Meta AI, driven by a large language model, with users in India and Africa through its key platforms: WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. This test forms a crucial part of Meta’s strategy to utilize its substantial user base to scale up its AI offerings. The company has positioned Meta AI as a versatile tool that not only helps in retaining users but also appeals to investors by offering features like photorealistic image generation from text. Furthermore, Meta is on the brink of launching Llama 3, enhancing its portfolio of AI technologies and aiming to outpace its rivals in the industry.
  
  

  

• OpenAI fires two researchers for leaking information 🤫 
  
  OpenAI has fired Leopold Aschenbrenner and Pavel Izmailov following allegations of leaking sensitive information. Aschenbrenner was a part of the superalignment team and closely worked with Ilya Sutskever, whereas Izmailov was involved with the AI safety initiatives. The exact details of the leaked data, speculated to be related to an AI breakthrough amidst last year's board disputes, remain under wraps. This action marks another chapter in the ongoing internal saga at OpenAI, indicating unresolved tensions.
  
  

• Amazon adds AI veteran Andrew Ng to its board as AI initiatives expand 🤝 
  
  Amazon has announced the addition of Andrew Ng, a distinguished AI expert, to its board of directors, emphasizing the company’s increasing focus on generative AI technologies. CEO Andy Jassy, who recently equated the impact of generative AI to that of the internet in a shareholder letter, views Ng’s experience at Google, Baidu, and Stanford as instrumental in steering Amazon through the competitive tech landscape. This appointment marks a significant step for Amazon as it continues to face pressure from major competitors in cloud computing and AI technologies.
  
  
  

• Humane’s $699 Ai Pin is now available 📱 
  
  Humane's $699 AI Pin wearable device is now officially available for purchase, marking one of the first personal AI devices to hit the market. Buyers can explore additional customization with various accessories and colors for an extra fee. Humane is also offering a three-month free subscription service to new customers, highlighting their user-first approach to product launches.

  
  

• TikTok is developing virtual AI influencers 🎭️ 
  
  TikTok is working on integrating AI avatars into its advertising framework, enabling sellers and advertisers on TikTok Shop to craft scripts for virtual influencers. This feature is currently under development and undergoing internal testing to assess its effectiveness against traditional human influencers. The platform faces challenges in balancing revenue sharing with human creators who depend on brand partnerships for earnings. Additionally, TikTok must carefully introduce AI avatars without distancing its dedicated user base, particularly in light of recent advocacy movements.
  
  

• OpenEQA: Meta's new benchmark evaluate vision language model’s understanding of physical environments 🌍🤖
  
  OpenEQA has been launched as a pioneering benchmark to test AI agents’ ability to perceive and interact within physical spaces via questions like “Where did I leave my badge?” This comes as existing vision and language models significantly lag behind humans. The framework supports practical tasks that can aid in everyday scenarios and challenges AI to evolve from processing words to modeling worlds. OpenEQA stands as the inaugural open-vocabulary benchmark in this field, facilitating the evaluation of AI capabilities and encouraging further research to advance AI’s understanding and communication in embodied environments.

• Meta introduces Next-Generation MTIA for enhanced AI performance
  
  Meta’s next-generation MTIA chip marks a significant step forward in artificial intelligence technology, offering three times the performance of its predecessor. This next-gen chip integrates higher frequency operations, greater memory capacity, and a large-scale system design to support sophisticated AI tasks effectively. The integration with software frameworks like PyTorch 2.0 and the new Triton-MTIA compiler backend ensures that this chip not only boosts performance but also streamlines AI model deployment and scalability.
