Galaxy AI is a suite of artificial intelligence-powered features that utilize LLMs and other tech that Samsung has made and has also sourced from other players in the industry, such as the Gemini models from Google. OpenAI, the company behind the famous ChatGPT, is now looking to get in on that Galaxy AI action. It’s reportedly […]
Apple is planning a major AI overhaul of Siri that will make the digital assistant more like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini Live, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The assistant, reportedly called “LLM Siri,” will be powered by Apple’s AI models and will let users have more conversational, natural-sounding interactions with Siri. […]
ChatGPT-creator OpenAI has recently considered developing a web browser that would combine with its chatbot and separately discussed or struck deals to power search features, the Information reported on Thursday. OpenAI has spoken about the search product with website and app developers such as Conde Nast, Redfin, Eventbrite and Priceline, the report said, citing people […]
Electric vehicles will now be able to go from zero battery power to an 80% charge thanks to researchers at the University of Waterloo who made a breakthrough in lithium-ion battery design to enable this extremely fast 15-minute charging. It is much faster than the current industry standard of nearly an hour, even at fast-charging […]
Amid the global pursuit of next-generation secondary battery solutions to replace current lithium-ion technology, Korean researchers have pioneered a lithium composite material that dramatically enhances both safety and lifespan, achieving over three times longer durability compared to existing materials. The research team, led by Dr. Do-Yeob Kim from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology […]
The construction of photovoltaic plants on land traditionally put to agricultural use has been generating discussion and controversy for years. In a world that is increasingly demanding clean energy, but also food, the possibility has arisen of combining both activities so that, instead of competing, they might complement each other. This is “agrivoltaic” technology, which […]
CATL is in talks to set up a battery recycling business in Europe, discussing possible plant sites with European governments including Hungary, according to Bloomberg. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL, SHE: 300750) is in talks to set up battery recycling operations in Europe, according to a Bloomberg report today. The Chinese power battery giant […]
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite looks like a killer chipset, but one of its biggest benefits for future Android phones might end up being in battery life, with some major improvements showing up in early tests. With today’s reveal of the Asus ROG Phone 9, there’s a new test subject for Qualcomm’s latest chipset. Performance wise, […]
Several AI-based study tools are capitalizing on a “PDF to Brainrot” trend, which will read the text of a document you upload over “oddly satisfying” videos, like ASMR clips of mixing paint and cutting soap, or gameplay footage from Minecraft and Subway Surfers. Then students can listen to an automated voice read their textbooks to […]
Arizona’s grid is getting a huge 200 MW Tesla lithium-ion battery energy storage system to support the state’s growing energy demand. Utility Salt River Project (SRP) and Flatland Storage, a subsidiary of EDP Renewables North America, are launching the Flatland Energy Storage Project, which will help SRP meet the growing energy demands of Arizona’s fast-expanding […]
