Apple has quietly acquired a Mountain View-based startup, WaveOne, that was developing AI algorithms for compressing video.

Apple wouldn’t confirm the sale when asked for comment. But WaveOne’s website was shut down around January, and several former employees, including one of WaveOne’s co-founders, now work within Apple’s various machine learning groups.

WaveOne’s former head of sales and business development, Bob Stankosh, announced the sale in a LinkedIn post published a month ago.

Against conventional architecture, the novel device enables processing to happen within the storage of a system.

The advent of ChatGPT has made Artificial Intelligence (AI) coupled with a language model accessible and practical for daily tasks, including paper writing, translation, coding, and more, all through question-and-answer-based interactions.

The disruptive launch of OpenAI’s product has created ripples in the industry, with technology giants like Google and Microsoft scrambling to maintain their position in the market by launching their half-baked AI-powered models.

The company will charge $50 million per launch of its next-gen rocket, bringing it in line with SpaceX.

Rocket Lab is developing a larger, reusable rocket called Neutron to help it compete with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch capabilities.

Rocket Lab’s Neutron will “compete directly with the Falcon 9”.

The space agency teamed up with university researchers to investigate the best methods for 3D printing space batteries.

A team of researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and Youngstown State University (YSU) are collaborating to develop 3D-printed batteries for future lunar astronauts.

3D-printed batteries for lunar habitats.

The ability of Ernie Bot to create images from text commands is thought to be a distinct advantage over ChatGPT, claims a report.

Baidu’s Ernie Bot scores better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT in accuracy but needs more political knowledge.

The stringent restrictions in China maybe made it difficult for Ernie Bot to answer inquiries about Chinese politics, according to a random test conducted by South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Sunday.

And scientists have been working tirelessly to decode the mystery of dark matter.

The quantum computer is now operational on the clinic’s Ohio campus.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, sat down with Lex Fridman for a frank discussion on a variety of subjects, including the contentious question of whether the language model GPT is “too woke” or prejudiced.

Although admitting that the term “woke” has changed over time, Altman finally conceded that it is prejudiced and probably always will be, according to the interview published by Fridman on Saturday.

“People study cells in the context of their biology and biochemistry, but cells are also simply physical objects you can touch and feel,” Guo says. “Just like when we construct a house, we use different materials to have different properties. A similar rule must apply to cells when forming tissues and organs. But really, not much is known about this process.”

His work in cell mechanics led him to MIT, where he recently received tenure and is the Class of ’54 Career Development Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

At MIT, Guo and his students are developing tools to carefully poke and prod cells, and observe how their physical form influences the growth of a tissue, organism, or disease such as cancer. His research bridges multiple fields, including cell biology, physics, and mechanical engineering, and he is working to apply the insights from cell mechanics to engineer materials for biomedical applications, such as therapies to halt the growth and spread of diseased and cancerous cells.
