It is too early for Google to announce its fully custom Tensor chipset for smartphones and tablets, but the company has probably ensured a solid footing of producing in-house silicon with the announcement of Axion, an ARM-based SoC designed specifically for datacenters. The chip was unveiled during Cloud Next 2024 and arrives with a host of performance and efficiency benefits, which we will discuss at length here.
Microsoft deal, Apple-Google talks show tech giants need artificial intelligence help
23.03.2024 - 02:28 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Satya Nadella / Gemini Ai
Earlier this week, Microsoft Corp. named artificial intelligence pioneer Mustafa Suleyman chief of its consumer AI business and hired most of the staff from his Inflection AI startup. A day before, Bloomberg reported that Alphabet Inc.'s Google was in talks to license its Gemini AI engine to Apple Inc.
The moves suggest that despite pouring billions of dollars into partnerships, investments and product development, Microsoft and Google are struggling to figure out how to capitalize on generative artificial intelligence. Neither company is moving fast enough to field consumer products that generate revenue and grab market share, and, despite their size and power, they remain vulnerable to being disrupted.
Even as engineers labor to perfect the large language models undergirding the technology, the companies are forming alliances and scouring the world for talent and promising startups.

Forging a leading position in generative AI requires each of the tech giants to assemble various ingredients—computing power, top-of-the-line AI models, trustworthy and easy-to-use products and ways of getting them to people. None of the tech giants has all of the ingredients. Google, once the pioneer in large language models, keeps releasing products with worrying errors and biases. Microsoft got a head start with exclusive access to many of OpenAI's ground-breaking models, but has never been skilled at building exciting consumer products besides video games.
Apple is years behind in artificial intelligence and, to shore up its capabilities in China, the company is in exploratory talks with Baidu Inc. about using the Chinese company's AI technology in devices sold there, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. On the plus side, Apple sells the world's most popular smartphone, and its App Store serves as a distribution platform for millions of apps. The company plans to announce an AI comeback strategy in June.
“Even large tech companies and cloud providers, with their vast resources, cannot innovate the entire generative AI ecosystem single handedly,” said Ido Caspi, a research analyst at Global X ETFs. “Companies must constantly be on the lookout for the best talent and technology to fill gaps in their portfolios.”

Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella isn't satisfied with his team's efforts to create consumer products, according to two people familiar with his thinking. Over the past year, the company has baked AI into the Bing search engine, Windows, Office and other products—creating various digital assistants

Apple to take help of Shutterstock to train its AI model
Apple has entered into a partnership with Shutterstock, a stock photos and videos library, to utilize its data for training its artificial intelligence (AI) models. The agreement suggests that Apple is making strides towards developing its proprietary foundation model. Despite previous speculations regarding the integration of Google's Gemini AI and Baidu's Ernie Bot (in China) into the iPhone 16 series for AI functionalities, it seems Apple's long-term strategy involves incorporating its own native AI model.

The year’s most stylish horror movie so far is about a late-night talk show
Horror movies have really been lacking in panache lately. Sure, there have been plenty of horror movies with great narratives or structural conceits, or excellent scares. But covering the basic elements of memorable horror isn’t the same as stretching stylistically, and brazenly committing to a specific aesthetic, time period, or vibe the way Shudder and IFC’s new horror movie Late Night with the Devil does. That movie, in theaters this week, has enough flair to make up for what the rest of the movies have been missing.
