AI WEARABLES
Our Report: Apple's Vision Pro headset is touted to go on sale starting February 2nd in the US, with a starting price of $3,499—making it Apple’s most significant product launch since the iPhone in 2007.
🔑 Key Points:
The headset features advanced technology including an exterior display (which shows a person’s eyes within the headset) and a new processing chip—which allows the headset to process information from the outside world in less than a blink of an eye.
This is one of Apple’s most expensive product launches, and wealthy tech enthusiasts who buy the product will be able to browse the web, chat with friends, and watch movies in a resolution beyond 4K.
The product will compete directly with Meta Platforms in the mixed-reality market, although we imagine the Vision Pro to be in a league of its own due to the price tag.
🤨 Why you should care: Apple's foray into the mixed-reality market with the Vision Pro represents a bold move to capture market share in a space currently dominated by Meta—although, due to the price tag, and the fact it has to be plugged into a power source at all times, we’re particularly unsure how this product launch will go.
In Partnership with OctoML
Fine-tuned LLMs are the best way to create highly customized experiences in your applications, and a smaller fine-tuned Mixtral 7B can even outperform larger, general-purpose models like GPT 4 in quality and cost for specific use cases.
But popular LLM serving platforms charge 2x for inference APIs on fine-tuned models. Say no to excessive taxation and bring your fine tunes to OctoAI!
Host any fine-tuned Llama 2, Code Llama, or Mi(s/x)tral models on OctoAI
Run inferences at the same low per-token pricing as the default Chat and Instruct models in OctoAI

SMART HOMES & MORE
At CES 2024, LG showcased its commitment to AI with a shift towards smart living solutions, by redefining AI as 'Affectionate Intelligence'.
Amongst other things, they introduced a new Smart Home Hub for secure data management and a helpful home robot for assistance and emergency support.
Their advancements also extend with a vision for AI-integrated vehicles, transforming driving into a more comfortable and interactive experience (see more on this from VW below).

AI CHIP TECHNOLOGY
At CES 2024, NVIDIA announced that it will be enhancing its consumer graphics cards to support local AI applications.
Their latest chips—including the RTX 4060 Super—feature additional tensor cores designed for AI tasks.
These advancements enable applications like image generation and background removal in video calls without relying on the cloud.
This move positions Nvidia to compete in the growing AI PC market, alongside rivals Intel and AMD, by offering powerful AI capabilities directly on PCs and laptops.
IN-VEHICLE AI
Volkswagen have introduced vehicles with a voice assistant featuring ChatGPT technology at CES 2024.
The integration allows drivers to access researched content and control in-car entertainment through voice commands (pretty great for keeping drivers focused on the road).
They are the first major car manufacturer to standardize this technology in their compact car segment (other companies have put this in standard models).
Volkswagen plans to expand the chatbot's capabilities for more interactive conversations.
COPYRIGHT LAW & AI
OpenAI (currently facing a lawsuit from The NYT) has emphasized its support for journalism with a new blog.
They’ve highlighted their efforts to work with news outlets, offering AI tools to assist journalists.
They’re maintaining that training AI models on publicly available materials is fair use and offers an opt-out for publishers.
