FACT OF THE DAY

🤔 The term “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy—one of the known founders of AI—but its origins go back to ancient myths of automatons, which were tales of self-operating machines, often with animal-like faces, created by Gods and inventors of the time, like Leonardo da Vinci.

STOCK MARKETS

🚚 AI & tech stocks mainly consolidated during Tuesday’s trading session. Nvidia & TSM were the outliers rising 3.97% and 4.13% respectively. TSM received a $7.5B boost for the plans of the Arizona expansion.

SAFETY

🚫 Meta rejects EU AI pledge

meta

Our Report: Meta announced it will not sign the European Union's voluntary AI safety pledge, which aims to set standards for regulating AI development before the EU's AI Act takes full effect in 2027.

🔑 Key Points:

  • Meta's decision contrasts with other tech giants like Microsoft and Google, who have confirmed they will sign the pledge.

  • The company's stance may be influenced by its AI model, Llama, which has open-source features designed to be repurposed by users with minimal developer control, complicating compliance with risk-mapping requirements.

  • While not legally binding, the AI Pact asks signatories to comply with key obligations of the AI Act before they become law, including identifying potential "high-risk" applications of their AI tools.

🤔 Why you should care: Meta's refusal to sign the AI Pact highlights the challenges in regulating the rapidly evolving AI industry. The EU seeks to set standards without stifling innovation, but companies like Meta may prioritize their own development strategies over voluntary commitments, leading to increased scrutiny and potential clashes with regulators.

TECHNOLOGY

💪 Intel flexes new AI chips

nvidia

Our Report: Intel has launched two new AI-focused chips, the Xeon 6 CPU and Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, aiming to boost its position in the competitive AI chip market and challenge rivals AMD and Nvidia.

🔑 Key Points:

  • The Xeon 6 CPU offers twice the performance of its predecessor, featuring increased core count, double the memory bandwidth, and embedded AI acceleration capabilities.

  • The Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, designed for large-scale generative AI, boasts 64 Tensor processor cores, 8 matrix multiplication engines, and 128GB of HBM2e memory.

  • Intel explains Gaudi 3 delivers ~1.09x inference throughput and 1.8x performance per dollar compared to Nvidia's H100 GPU on Meta's LLaMA 3 8B large language model.

🤔 Why you should care: The explosive demand for AI compute driven by generative AI has Intel, AMD, and others racing to catch up with Nvidia's 90% GPU market share. Intel's new chips and collaborations with major tech players signal its determination to be a serious contender, but it still faces challenges in validating Gaudi 3's performance and securing sufficient supply.

CREATION

🎙️ ChatGPT's voice gets smarter

Our Report: OpenAI has announced the rollout of Advanced Voice Mode (AVM) for ChatGPT, expanding access to Plus and Team users. This upgrade significantly enhances the conversational capabilities of ChatGPT, making interactions more natural and responsive.

🔑 Key Points:

  • AVM introduces five new voices (Arbor, Maple, Sol, Spruce, and Vale) and features improved accent understanding and faster, smoother conversations.

  • The update allows users to interrupt ChatGPT mid-sentence and adapts responses based on the user's emotional tone, creating a more dynamic interaction.

  • OpenAI has safety-tested AVM with external experts speaking 45 languages from 29 geographies, but it's not yet available in several European regions.

🤔 Why you should care: The expanded rollout of AVM is just another example of OpenAI's push to make interacting with its AI models feel more natural and engaging. As competition heats up, features like emotionally aware voice conversations will be the ones that drive user growth.
