Opera has unveiled its latest innovation, the AI side panel called “Aria.” Powered by OpenAI’s GPT technology, the new browser sidekick helps users:
Find information on the web
Generate text, including code
Provide support about the browser itself (it has access to internal docs)
Maybe most important, however, is the fact that Aria is constantly fed new information - meaning no more limited to 2021 messages (looking at you, ChatGPT).
Try it for yourself here
Fun fact: Aria’s first task… was to name itself.

In a recent move, Google has merged DeepMind and Google Brain into a unified AI supergroup, called… Google DeepMind. Quite the name.
The team has shared insights into its visual language model (VLM) called Flamingo, which is being utilized to generate descriptions for YouTube Shorts.
Flamingo analyzes the initial frames of a video to generate text descriptions, enabling better categorization and matching of search results to viewer searches.
The generated descriptions are stored as metadata and remain behind the scenes, aligning with Google's responsibility standards. Because, you know, data.
Since YouTube shorts are usually made quickly, helpful titles are often a second thought for creators. Flamingo seeks to fix this issue and make search relevance a focal point moving forward.
Nvidia, the US chipmaker and force behind the Bitcoin-mining-GPU-goldrush, has released a revenue forecast (that soared past Wall Street’s expectations) due to increased demand for chips used to train advanced AI systems like ChatGPT.
The company expects sales to reach $11 billion in the next three months, more than 50% higher than analysts' projections.
The announcement led to a significant surge in Nvidia's stock price, with shares jumping 27% and the company's market value hitting a record $960 billion.
The expanding use of generative AI across consumers, cloud computing, and enterprise sectors, along with the explosion of sales to data centers, has done wonders for the company’s growth.
Anyone getting $GME flashbacks?
