SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – Last week, we talked about what A.I. is, when the idea was first proposed, and where we are now with the technology.
Since then, we’ve had several updates come out from big software, hardware, social media and tech companies.
Google (Alphabet) search’s “A.I. Mode” has now expanded globally into 180+ countries, and added early “agentic abilities, for booking tasks and opt-in personalization in Labs.
U.S. access to this starts with Google AI Ultra subscribers.
ChatGPT now has a project-only memory users can enable, which means only the memory from the specific chat you’re in will be saved to that specific chat, and no memory outside of that chat will interfere.
This project-only memory update is to create a self-contained, focused space where you want ChatGPT to stay anchored to one specific chat.
Microsoft Edge is testing “Journeys,” which is an A.I. feature that summarizes your recent browsing to assist in resume tasks. Early reports are suggesting that it might require Copilot Pro, which costs $20/month.
Copilot is an app for Windows 11 that was recently updated for redesign and smarter modules, built to enhance productivity and creativity across all Microsoft 365 applications, serving as an A.I. assistant.
Apple is in talks with Google about powering a revamped Siri with Gemini, which negotiations are exploratory as Apple is reportedly weighing other partners.
NVIDIA is considered by many as the most powerful and valuable graphics processing unit, or GPU, company in the world.
They’re reportedly developing a Blackwell-based B30A accelerator for China, at roughly half the B300’s compute, to fit export rules.
The U.S. government is said to buy 9.9-10% of Intel, that $8.9 billion, to push tech manufacturing in an extraordinary stake in a major chipmaker.
In a new Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Midjourney licensing deal, Meta will license Midjourney’s image/video “aesthetic” tech and collaborate on research for future Meta models and products.
Microsoft revealed their “Majorana 1” quantum chip, a topological-qubit quantum processor, on Feb. 19, 2025; a device intended for the most advanced future quantum autonomous A.I. systems.
As of Aug. 20, they formalized their company-wide “Quantum Safe Program (QSP).”
The goal of this program is to make all Microsoft products and services quantum-safe by 2033, with early adoption by 2029.
