Meta announced new AI add-ons to the Ray-Ban smart glasses collection, including video calling and a “Meta AI with Vision” feature.

Key Details:

  • Now, users can share their view on video calls via WhatsApp and Messenger completely hands-free.

  • Meta’s AI assistant can now process visual data to provide content-specific information like translating text or identifying objects.

  • The social media giant is also integrating multimodal AI capabilities to create a hands-free, on-the-go experience where users can ask their glasses questions about what they see.

Why It’s Important:

  • AI-powered smart glasses can complete complex tasks such as scanning and analyzing surroundings or offering contextual information about objects in view.

  • The new “Meta AI with Vision” feature integrates with the camera to process visual data. This new feature could normalize the idea of Augmented Reality (AR).

  • Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience that overlays computer-generated content into the real world.

Nvidia acquired Run:ai, a Tel Aviv-based startup that helps developers and operations teams manage and optimize their AI hardware infrastructure.

Key Details:

  • CTech reported that Nvidia and Run:ai were in “advanced negotiations,” with Nvidia offering upwards of $1 billion to acquire the startup.

  • Nvidia claims it’ll continue to offer Run:ai’s products and services under the same core business model while investing in the startup’s roadmap to enhance Nvidia’s DGX Cloud.

  • Nvidia’s DGX Cloud is a supercomputing service that provides enterprises access to the infrastructure and software required to train and deploy generative AI models.

  • Run:ai is Nvidia’s largest acquisition since purchasing Mellanox Technologies for $6.9 billion in 2019 to supply end-to-end high-speed Ethernet solutions.

Why It’s Important:

  • Nvidia is developing an AI infrastructure management platform to incentivize companies to also use Nvidia’s proprietary technology.

  • For example, more than 4 million global developers rely on Nvidia’s CUDA software platform to build and deploy AI tools. These developers naturally leverage Nvidia’s GPUs because they’re optimized for CUDA’s architecture.

AI RESEARCH

🧬Editing the Human Genome With AI?!

Profluent researchers developed OpenCRISPR-1, the world’s first precision gene editing process, using molecules designed from scratch with AI models.

Gene editors like CRISPR/Cas9 are complex systems that alter an organism’s DNA by allowing genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at precise locations in the genome. However, CRISPR/Cas9 can cause undesirable site effects due to delivery efficiency.

To address these issues, Profluent researchers trained Large Language Models (LLMs) on the most diverse set of CRISPR-based gene editing systems to develop OpenCRISPR-1: an AI-generated gene editor that facilitates research.
