🍎 New startup from ex-Apple workers

Is it a fashion accessory or a potential smartphone alternative? Founded in 2017 by former Apple employees, Humane, a tech company, had remained enigmatic for the past five years despite securing over $200 million in funding from investors like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman—until now.

The company made its grand debut during Paris Fashion Week, showcasing its AI Pin device, worn by models including Naomi Campbell. The AI Pin is a wearable gadget equipped with a variety of sensors to facilitate interactions. Humane describes its innovation as follows: "The Humane Ai Pin is a screenless, independent device and software platform purpose-built for AI.

This smart clothing-based wearable harnesses a range of sensors to enable natural and intuitive computational interactions, seamlessly integrating into users' daily lives while prioritizing privacy, omitting a wake word, and avoiding 'always on' listening—a reflection of Humane's commitment to trust-centered products."

Though many details remain undisclosed, the device's emphasis on autonomous functionality suggests it may aspire to replace smartphones in some capacity. A comprehensive unveiling is scheduled for an event on November 9th.

🕸️ ChatGPT’s web access returns

In a recent update, OpenAI has reintroduced the ChatGPT browsing feature, allowing the chatbot to tap into current internet information through integration with Bing search. Key details include the availability of web browsing for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users, with plans to extend this capability to free-tier users in the near future.

This feature revival follows its temporary suspension months ago, prompted by concerns about the tool bypassing publisher paywalls. With real-time data access, ChatGPT's knowledge base now extends beyond its previous limitation, which was restricted to training data up to 2021. Demonstrations showcasing the feature's capabilities and potential limitations can be found in a Twitter thread.

This development is significant as it positions ChatGPT as a formidable contender to replace conventional search engines, addressing the limitations of its previous knowledge cutoff.

🧠 INSIGHTS

🔫 Amazon joining AI arms race

AWS has recently unveiled a range of fresh offerings and collaborative efforts aimed at enhancing the accessibility of generative AI. Among these, the Amazon Bedrock AI service, featuring Anthropic's Claude chatbot and Meta's Llama 2 model, has now entered general availability.

Bedrock simplifies the utilization of core AI models while maintaining robust security measures. Anthropic's Claude, designed to comprehend queries, collect information, and perform tasks as an AI agent for AWS users, has been optimized for this purpose.

Notably, Claude's launch follows Amazon's prearranged $4 billion investment in Anthropic, securing priority access to their models over OpenAI. This strategic move underscores Amazon's growing influence and places it in direct competition with other leading AI players, which is poised to accelerate advancements within the entire AI field.
