The biggest announcement was an assistant that will live in all Meta apps, and can help you with almost everything. It doesn’t have a knowledge cutout, because old sweet Microsoft let them use Bing to search the internet.

On top of that, you can now make stickers with text and chat with AI characters representing popular influencers such as Mr Beast, Snoop Dogg, or Kendall Jenner.

OpenAI is talking with a former Apple designer and SoftBank's big boss to create a new mobile phone aimed to make using AI as easy as using an iPhone. They're in early stages, but SoftBank is ready to put in over $1 billion and help them with chip production using theirchip design firm, Arm.

There is a shortage of data science engineers, and researchers try to fill in the gap with smarter AutoML models.

Lossless compression is about finding patterns to make data smaller without losing information; and LLMs are great at predicting the next “pattern” so they can be great compressors. And, DeepMind’s LLM Chinchilla 70B beat the PNG algorithm, by compressing 43.2% of the original file sizes.
