Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The five-day drama, which showcased the firing of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and then reinstating him as the company’s Chief Executive, is just another example of how haywire the realm of Silicon Valley can be. However, Altman’s firing was not due to him maintaining a rebellious attitude with the board but due to an AI breakthrough discovery by OpenAI researchers that could potentially be dangerous to humanity. Several OpenAI staff researchers wrote a letter to the board, informing them of the dangers this AI breakthrough possesses, which ultimately led to the firing of Sam Altman Assuming AI is left unchecked […]
After a remarkable weekend in Silicon Valley that saw its latest innovation, A.I., sitting dead center between typical corporate boardroom politics, OpenAI's former C.E.O Sam Altman returned to his company triumphantly. Altman's friction with OpenAI's board has caused a lot of discourse in social and traditional media, with the disagreements believed to stem from the divide between OpenAI and its holding company's profit/non-profit nature. However, a for-profit approach might not have been the only reason for the divide, as a fresh report from the New York Times shares that a key source of friction was a research paper written by […]
The limited ability of the current iterations of Large Language Models (LLMs) to comprehend increasing loads of context remains one of the biggest impediments at the moment to achieving AI singularity - a threshold at which artificial intelligence demonstrably exceeds human intelligence. At first glance, the 200K-token context window for Anthropic's Claude 2.1 LLM appears impressive. However, its context recall proficiency leaves much to be desired, especially when compared with the relatively robust recall abilities of OpenAI's GPT-4. Our new model Claude 2.1 offers an industry-leading 200K token context window, a 2x decrease in hallucination rates, system prompts, tool use, […]
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had announced shortly after the firing of Sam Altman that the software giant would be recruiting the former Chief Executive, Greg Brockman, and other colleagues to lead a new advanced AI research team. To ease the new recruits’ transition to the new roles, Microsoft was not readying any of its Surface devices for the team, but new Macs, hence proving that it is the superior product line for a wide range of tasks. OpenAI employees were likely using MacBooks at their current position, but given the latest news of Altman rejoining the startup, the new machines will […]
After OpenAI co-founders set aside their differences to work together again, former and current CEO Sam Altman announced his return to the company late at night yesterday. The announcement was confirmed by the company, too, on X, after xAI CEO Elon Musk shared a letter on GitHub with stunning allegations against the firm that was formed as a moonshot attempt at humanity's first artificial general intelligence (AGI) computing software. OpenAI's ChatGPT, trained on the latest semiconductors designed by NVIDIA Corporation, has been the center of media coverage for a year now, and with the fairy tale completing its first 12 […]
Shortly after being fired and replaced with Emmett Shear as interim CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman will return to the company at his rightful place of Chief Executive, with the drama finally coming to a close after five days. In response to his firing, around 500 employees stationed at OpenAI threatened to walk out of the company and join Microsoft, the software giant that recently announced that both Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and other colleagues will lead a new advanced AI research team. Needless to say, OpenAI’s value would likely have dropped to zero if the board did not backtrack […]
There is no denying that OpenAI is going through a turbulent time, and while the company has a hard time finding solid ground to step on, it has also gone ahead and announced that ChatGPT Voice is now available for free for everyone. ChatGPT Voice is a really fun way to use the platform and feels so much better than text-based conversations Now, it is worth noting that ChatGPT Voice is nothing new, as it has been around since September earlier this year and offers a really nice AI experience. It is a lot like talking to a virtual assistant, […]
Just when you thought there could not possibly be any more climactic twists left in this ongoing saga, former OpenAI employees have come forward to level serious allegations against the just-deposed CEO, Sam Altman. What's even more surreal, the letter from these employees has landed in the hands of Elon Musk who has now called for a thorough investigation. For the benefit of those who might not be aware of all of the intricate details in this live soap opera, OpenAI's board of directors sent shockwaves throughout the global tech sector on Friday when it dismissed Sam Altman for not […]
The ambitious CEO is fired by the company's uptight board of directors. The fired CEO nurses his bruised ego by decamping to a quasi-competitor's headquarters. The employees revolt against the board, baying for blood and retribution. Chaos, drama, heartbreak, and poignancy: you'd think I was narrating the plot of a fast-moving corporate thriller. Instead, these are the events currently unfolding at OpenAI's HQ, prompting Microsoft to usurp the startup's global AI leadership, benefitting the tech behemoth's shareholders, including the former US House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
