🍎 Apple is testing a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot

Apple is developing artificial intelligence tools to challenge OpenAI, Google and others, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The tech giant has created a chatbot that some engineers are internally referring to as “Apple GPT.” Apple has yet to determine a strategy for releasing the technology to consumers, but is reportedly aiming to make a significant AI-related announcement next year.

The report says Apple has built its own framework, codenamed “Ajax,” to create large language models, which are AI-based systems that power offerings like Open AI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. Ajax runs on Google Cloud and was built with Google JAX, the search giant’s machine learning framework, according to Bloomberg. Apple is leveraging Ajax to create large language models and serve as the foundation for the internal ChatGPT-style tool.

🤖 Meta is giving away its AI tech to try to beat ChatGPT

Meta announced it’s open-sourcing its large language model LLaMA 2, making it free for commercial and research use and going head-to-head with OpenAI’s free-to-use GPT-4, which powers tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Bing.

Meta announced the move as part of Microsoft’s Inspire event, noting its support for Azure and Windows and a “growing” partnership between the two companies. At the same time, Microsoft revealed more details about the AI tools built into its 360 platform and how much those will cost. Qualcomm also announced it is working with Meta to bring LLaMa to laptops, phones, and headsets starting from 2024 onward for AI-powered apps that work without relying on cloud services.

😈 Crypto's Biggest Federal Villain Says AI Could Help Cause the Next Big Financial Crisis

Tech hype comes in waves, and while the focus constantly changes (first crypto, then metaverse, and now AI), some things—like tech’s critics—remain the same. SEC Chair Gary Gensler has been the crypto community’s public enemy no. 1 for a few years now, but now he’s offering his somewhat caustic assessment on Silicon Valley’s latest heartthrob: artificial intelligence.

During a talk at the National Press Club conference on Monday, Gensler told the crowd that “AI may heighten financial fragility.” He offered some rather staid comments we’ve heard plenty of times before—that AI is the most transformative technology since the printing press—and so on. But he also said his agency was working to suggest new regulations that could stymie the potential for AI to abuse investors.
