Apple just detailed how it plans to fit heavy AI models onto everyday devices without blowing past hardware limits. In a paper titled 'LLM in a flash', researchers store parameters on flash memory and stream them to DRAM on demand, running models twice the size of available RAM while speeding up GPU inference by up to 25x. Why it matters: It lays the technical groundwork for reliable on-device generative AI.
Samsung just unveiled Gauss, its proprietary generative AI model built to power on-device features across its hardware lineup. Developed by Samsung Research, the tech splits into Language for translation and summaries, Code for programming assistance, and Image for generating and upscaling visuals. Running these features locally on upcoming flagships like the Galaxy S24 gives Samsung a latency and privacy edge over cloud-tethered chatbots.
Samsung just launched Samsung Food, an AI-powered kitchen assistant rolling out across 104 countries with 160,000 recipes. The app tailors meal plans based on what's in your fridge and can even sync directly with Samsung smart appliances to preheat your oven. Basically, Samsung wants AI running your kitchen from grocery shopping to dinner plate.
Google is working on "Project Magi" to transform its search engine beyond the classic 10 blue links, adding conversational AI and short-form video content. Facing pressure from ChatGPT and TikTok, the new design focuses on queries with no single right answer. It will initially test with one million U.S. users.
Samsung just announced the Bespoke AI Wall Oven at CES 2023, packing an internal camera that can livestream cooking sessions directly to online audiences. The smart appliance recognizes up to 80 dishes, optimizes cooking conditions, and pings your phone before food burns. It launches in North America later in 2023, though pricing is still under wraps.
