Brief New Tech Stuff
Apple Vision Pro, GPT-5 + Trillion dollar AI Chips, Google Gemini AI, Open-Source Catching Up????
What’s up everyone?
I won’t make this too extensive I simply want to open source the few ounces of knowledge in my brain, and the weights that underly the Ethan LLM.

In my uneducated opinion:
This is the V1 of many more iterations to come.
This will inevtably change the way we go about:
Learning - Spatial video shows life-like examples of how to do tasks, you can be fully immersed in a virtual school environment like this (but a bit different…won’t go too deep into it)
Playing - When kids (or bored adults) get their hands on this (most likely when the device gets under $3,500), the VR gaming industry is going to boom. Why the heck would you play on a 45” inch tv that can’t run all of Cyberpunk 2077’s graphics, when you can play on an infinitely clear+large theatre screen… while also watching tik tok?

Meditating - I’ve used a meditation app on my Meta Quest 3 and let me tell you, it’s astonishing!!
Reading - You can fulfill all of your Disney loner dreams, and read under a tree (while trying to look mysterious) anywhere in the world.

GPT-5 is coming soon.
Altman has spoken at YC (Y Combinator) events, telling founders “to build like GPT-5 is coming.”

Goodbye BARD, Hello GEMINI!
Google has dropped Gemini.
Gemini Ultra — our largest and most capable model for highly complex tasks.
Gemini Pro — our best model for scaling across a wide range of tasks.
Compared to your favorite homework helper ;) GPT-4. (According to Google, the premium version of Gemini is better).
This is Google’s shot at winning the AI race, and they know it.
OPEN-SOURCE MODELS
Can Open Source Models, beat out giants like Google and OpenAI?
Companies like MISTRAL (LLM name: Mixtral) and META (LLM name: Llama) are giving them a run for their money.
