So this week kicked off a series of insane weeks where we're about to just get bombarded with AI news. This week there was a ton. Now, if we're looking closely here, most of it came out of either Google or OpenAI. Seeing as how OpenAI had their spring event on Monday and Google had their annual IO event on Tuesday. It's pretty much been a week that I can't really describe as anything else but a giant announcement fest. The week kicked off on Monday with OpenAI's spring update. I actually did a full breakdown video of that spring update on the channel. You can find it. It's called ChatGPT's Amazing New Models Feel Human and It's Free. However, I do know a lot of people watch just this one end of the week video on this channel to get totally caught up with all the AI news. So I will give you a quick recap. Plus I'll share a few other things that they didn't talk about in that keynote that are pretty cool. The event kicked off with the announcement of GPT4O. The O stands for Omni because it's a multimodal model that can handle audio and video and images and kind of everything you can throw at it. Last week when we were all talking about this mysterious GPT2 chatbot that was on the limsys.org website and we were all speculating that it was a new OpenAI model, well, we were right. This is what GPT4O was. Now this new GPT4O model is much faster. It's multimodal, it understands audio, text, images, video, and just generally seems a lot better of a model than what we were getting out of the previous GPT4 model. But one of the big announcements that they made at this event was that it's going to be made available for all the free ChatGPT users. So now you, you don't even need to have a paid plan of chat GPT to get access to the GPT Store. The Vision models, the browsing, the Internet models, the memory, the advanced data analytics, AKA code interpreter, all of this is now available inside of the free Chat GPT model. Now, if you are a ChatGPT plus member, you're still going to get features a little bit earlier than the free members and you get, I think five times more outputs from ChatGPT so you can use it a lot more. But free users now get access to all of the cool features that paid members have gotten for those developers out there. The GPT4O API is actually 2 times faster than the last model and it's 50% cheaper and has a 5 times higher rate limit. All those developers out there building with OpenAI's GPT4 API, you just got a lot better model for less expensive. But it was the conversational aspect of this new model that I think really had people talking about. It's very reminiscent of that movie her. And even the voice sounds a little bit like Scarlett Johansson's voice from her. Here's a few examples of what they showed off.
Hey, ChatGPT, I'm Mark. How are you?
Oh, Mark, I'm doing great, thanks for asking. How about you?
Hey.
So I'm on stage right now. I'm doing a live demo and frankly I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Can you help me calm my nerves a little bit?
Oh, you're doing a live demo right now. That's awesome. Just take a deep breath and remember, you're the expert.
I like that suggestion. Let me try a couple deep breaths. Can you give me feedback on my breaths? Okay, here I go.
Whoa, slow down a bit there, Mark. You're not a vacuum cleaner.
They also showed off a demo where they had a math problem and then they used the camera to look at the math problem and. And then it helped them solve the math problem step by step. It didn't just give them the answer, they asked for help to solve it. And so it actually walked them through how to solve it instead of just giving them the answer. And you can see it eventually helped them get to the correct answer. They also showed off their new desktop app, which apparently is going to be available on Mac first at PC sometimes in the future. But it works in the same way that you use the mobile app where you talk to the app. However, one huge difference is that it can actually see what's going on in your screen. You can see there's a little screen button here, and you can allow it access to see what's going on in your screen to help you with code or debug, whatever you're working on. They showed it interpreting some data on a graph here, and then they showed the capabilities of actually changing how it speaks, which is really cool. So cool that I think you actually need to see the clip. But they're definitely trying to make it much more emotive.
And I want you to tell them a bedtime story about robots and love.
Oh, a bedtime story about robots and love. I got you covered. Gather round, Barret. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a Robot named Byte Bite was a curious robot, always exploring this story.
But I want a little bit more emotion in your voice, a little bit more drama.
Got it? Let's add some drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named byte.
No, no. ChatGPT. I really want maximal emotion, like maximal expressiveness. Much more than you were doing before.
Understood. Let's amplify the drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Byte Bite.
Can we do this in a robotic voice now?
Initiating. Dramatic robotic voice. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Byte.
They also show that it can recognize your face and guess the sort of emotions you're going through. Based on your facial expressions, it looks.
Like you're feeling pretty happy and cheerful with a big smile and maybe even a touch of excitement. Whatever's going on, it seems like you're in a great mood. Care to share the source of those good vibes?
Those were really the main things that they shared during this keynote presentation. It's worth the watch. It's only 26 minutes to see the whole presentation and everything they showed off. However, there were some things that they didn't show in the presentation that they talked about in their blog post here. They completely left out the fact that GPT4O is actually an image generator as well. Here's an image that they generated of somebody writing on a whiteboard, and the text is actually legible. And it's a lot of text too, which is not something we've seen really yet. But if you check out the blog post which will be linked below the video called hello, GPT4O. They actually have a whole bunch of demo videos of it doing different stuff that they didn't show in their main keynote. You can watch some of these videos to see things like the two phones singing back and forth to each other and helping somebody prep for an interview and playing rock paper, scissors and seeing how good it is at sarcasm and more math examples. There's a whole bunch of really cool demo videos that show off similar stuff to what they showed in the demo video there. But if you scroll down a little bit further, you've got this section called Explorations of Capabilities, and then it's got a dropdown of all of these other capabilities that it's got that they did not show off in the keynote. Like poster creation for the movie Detective Input. Let's design another poster with two new characters. This is a picture of Alex Nickel and a casual picture of Gabriel. Go. They gave a description of what they're looking for in the poster and it generated this picture here. It botched their names, but managed to get both of their faces into the poster and write the word detective on it. They asked it to do some cleanup and it got even closer. Look at that pretty cool poster. This was done with GPT4O. Here's another example that shows character consistency. They created Gary the robot here and then prompted that same robot into different scenes. They uploaded the original image that it generated and then asked it to generate an image of him playing Frisbee. And it created the same character but playing Frisbee. Or he likes to program computers. Same character at a computer, riding a bike, cooking, playing violin. It all started with generating a character and then uploading the character. And then it was able to consistently use that same character again. This is really impressive stuff. Like why wasn't this stuff in the keynote? Here's a commemorative coin that they made for GPT4O and then they actually had it generate the sounds of coins clanging on metal.
They have this photo two caricature ability which where they upload an image like this and then it makes a caricature version of that image. Or here's another one where it turned that into this sort of cartoony caricature image. Here's another example and another example and another example. This looks like it's pretty impressive. And they were able to do this with one single input image. They have text to font where you can describe a font and it will actually generate entire fonts for you. 3D object synthesis.
What?
How was this not in the main keynote a realistic looking 3D rendering of the OpenAI logo with OpenAI shown below. It created this. It then created, it looks like five more images of it at different angles and then animated it into this 3D logo here. Here's another one of a sea lion where it basically generated the image at multiple angles. And once it had all of the angles, it was able to create a 3D reconstruction with all of the images. They have examples of brand placement here where they uploaded the OpenAI logo and this coaster here and then it actually transferred that logo onto the coaster. So after you watch that OpenAI video where they show off the speaking and it sounds like her and they're talking back and forth and having conversations and helping with math. Definitely come check out the OpenAI blog post. Watch some of these other demos, but then click through the exploration of capabilities of some of the other stuff they did with it because this is so much more powerful than what they actually let on in their keynote on Monday. Like they could have done what Google did and just made announcement after announcement after announcement and showed off all this stuff one by one. But they kind of pared it down and just showed you a few of the features, which is crazy because some of this stuff here to me is actually more impressive than what they showed in their demo on Monday. The day after their presentation, Sam Altman was interviewed on the Logan Bartlett show and one of the questions he was asked was what use cases have you found for this new tech that you just put out that has been really helpful for you?
One surprising one is putting my phone on the table while I'm like really in the zone of working and then without having to like change Windows or change what I'm doing, using it as like another channel. So I'm like working on something. I would normally like stop what I'm doing, switch to another tab, Google something, click around or whatever. But while I'm like still doing it for to just ask and get like an instant response without changing from what I was looking at on my computer, that's been a surprisingly cool thing.
Now, GPT4O and all of the capabilities we just saw weren't the only news to come out of OpenAI this week. In fact, on Tuesday, during the big Google I O event, we got word that Ilya Suskover, one of the original founders over at OpenAI, who started the company up with Sam Altman, decided to step away. And now, if you remember, back In November of 2023, Sam Altman was fired and then brought back in. Well, Ilya was one of the people that was on the board at the time that made the decision to fire Sam. He then regretted his decision, made a public apology on X, said it was a mistake to get rid of Sam. But then nobody really heard from Ilya since. Until this week when we got word that Ilya was stepping away. I can only speculate at this point, but my guess is that he, he wasn't really a fan of the direction that OpenAI is heading in. Now, Ilya himself is a researcher, he's an academic. I believe he loves the science and the technology behind it. He's less of a fan of the monetization, capitalization of the technology. And I think he sees the direction that's all headed and deciding that that's not really where he wants to go. Again, just speculation. I have no conversations with anybody at OpenAI, so I don't know for sure, but that's kind of the vibe that's going around about it. It seems like Ilya left on good terms, he said. After almost a decade, I've made the decision to leave OpenAI. The company's trajectory has been nothing short of miraculous and I'm confident that OpenAI will build AGI that is both safe and beneficial under the leadership of Sam, Greg and Mira. It was an honor and a privilege to have worked together and I will miss everyone dearly. So long and thanks for everything. I'm excited for what's to come next. A project that is very personally meaningful to me, about which I will share details in due time. So he is moving on to some other project. He's just being kind of hush hush about it right now. Sam also took to Twitter to say nice things about Ilya. Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways. It's very sad to me. Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field and a dear friend. OpenAI would not be what it is without him and he has something personally meaningful that he's going to go work on. They have a new chief scientist. His name is Jacob Pachocki, but again, it seems like he left on good terms. Who knows what's really going on behind the scenes? But after Ilya made the announcement that he was stepping away, we got word that more people at OpenAI were also leaving, including key members of the Super Alignment team, the people that are there to make sure that AI doesn't go rogue and try to kill us all. Essentially, according to this article, Jan Leek, Leopold Aschenbrenner and William Saunders all quit. Now I'm sure I butchered some of those names, but that's besides the point. These are all people that actually didn't sign the memo early on when when everybody was trying to get Sam Altman back. These people that left, according to this article on Gizmodo, here were some of the holdouts that weren't signing notes to get Sam Altman back into the company. Now these are the same people that left right when Ilya left. Now if I had to guess, I think Ilya made the decision to leave quite a while ago and they sort of timed the decision with the GPT4O announcement and Google Build event and all that stuff that was going on to see sort of bury it a little bit. They didn't want this news of Ilya leaving to be the main hype in the news cycle right now. So they Sort of just squeezed in the news among everything else that was happening. That's kind of my feeling on what's going on here. The very next day after the OpenAI event was Google IO, Google's annual event where they make a ton of announcements. And this year, again, the announcements were all about AI. It's pretty clear at this point that OpenAI is strategically planning their announcements to happen right around the time Google does their announcements, because they always seem to be trying to overshadow Google. Now, while OpenAI sort of had one big announcement, they were really sort of showing off GPT4O and the voice capability and how to use it like a voice assistant. Google took a different approach and just bombarded us with AI announcements. In fact, Google themselves put out a blog post called 100 Things We Announced at IO 2024. If you want to listen to this article, it's 21 minutes long. But again, I also did my own breakdown of this. You can find it here on YouTube called Google just took over the AI world. A full breakdown. In that video, I walked through all of my thoughts from Google IO and all of the various announcements. But for those of you who this is the one video per week that you tune into from me, I'll give you the quick highlights of what I thought was the most interesting. They introduced Gemini 1.5 Flash, a new large language model that's faster but maybe not always the most intelligent. So if you need it to respond fast, you use this model. If you need it to have the best possible output, you use the Gemini 1.5 Pro model. Both 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash have a 1 million token context window with plans to jump it to a 2 million token context window. And if you don't know what that means, one token is about 75% of one word. So 1 million tokens, that means between the amount of text you input for the large language model and the text you get back in, the response combined can be about 750,000 words. When it jumps to a 2 million token context window, you can now input and output about 1.5 million words. Now, the biggest showstopper from the event, in my opinion, was when they showed off Project Astra. With Project Astra, they were able to take a mobile phone and it was able to see what the phone was looking at. And then you could ask questions about what it was looking at and even draw on your phone and get more details. Here's an example of what that looked like.
Tell me when you see something that makes sound.
I see a speaker which makes sound.
What is that part of the speaker called?
That is the tweeter. It produces high frequency sounds.
And so the phone was actually watching everything that the camera can see, but it also remembered everything that it saw during this whole process. So let me fast forward this a little bit because there was one really interesting part here. Notice how she casually moves past the glasses there. Well, let me zoom ahead a little bit further and check this out.
Do you remember where you saw my glasses?
Yes, I do. Your glasses were on the desk near a red apple.
And you can see it remembered where those glasses are. And, and here's a little Easter egg that most people probably didn't catch. If you watch what happens next, this might be a sneak preview of what Google's working on next because she grabs the glasses here, puts them on, and then you no longer actually see her doing this with her phone. It appears from that point on she's doing it with glasses. They didn't specifically talk about this in the keynote, but if you watch the video, that's clearly what happened. So just watch the rest here.
She puts her phone down, puts on the glasses. Now you see her wearing glasses.
What can I add here to make this system faster?
Adding a cache between the server and database could improve speed.
And notice how there's some text on the screen there. I'm assuming that's what she's seeing in her glasses as she's talking. So it might have like a little bit of a heads up display on the glasses, a little bit of an augmented reality element to them, but they haven't actually confirmed this. So I'm just reading into this from seeing this in the video. Let's take a peek down here in the corner. We can see her wearing these glasses here. This might be the next iteration of Google Glass. I mean, Google Glass was ahead of its time because now we're seeing stuff like the meta ray bans actually become popular now. This was one of the things that I actually got to demo in person. You can see they had a little camera up top looking down at these objects here. And you were able to ask questions about the objects. It would tell you stories about a T. Rex and a duck. You can see he just added this donut here. It would add the donut into this story. And all of this stuff worked in real time. This was me shooting from my 360 camera, so you can see me watching here. But I actually did get to demo this and it seemed to work as they showed it off in their demos. On stage. They also showed off this feature in NotebookLM where you can throw a whole bunch of data in there, throw in docs and spreadsheets and your own audio messages and all sorts of stuff into this Notebook lm. And then it would actually create this like interactive podcast for you where it would explain whatever information you dumped into it and you can kind of cut it off and ask questions of it. It was really, really cool. They showed off Imagine3, which is their new text to image model that's getting really, really impressive. These images are looking much more realistic than the previous generations of Imagine, so here's some more examples. These are really approaching mid journey level of realism in my opinion. But what was Even cooler than Imagine 3 was when they showed off Veo, their new video generation model, which looks like it wants to compete with Sora. I don't feel like the quality of the demos they showed are quite up to the same par as what we see out of Sora, but this is like the second best video generation model we've seen so far behind Sora. It creates videos in 1080p and from my understanding it can actually generate videos over one minute long. And they even managed to tap Donald Glover to make videos using this new VEO video model. And we'll get to see the film that he produced using this sometime soon. Now while Sora, we have absolutely no clue when they're going to make it available, VEO is actually going to start letting people use it. They actually have a waiting list over on the AI Test Kitchen website and apparently are going to start letting people actually use this one. Sora, who knows, we may not even see it this year in our own hands. The Google search got some upgrades as well using AI where now they claim that Google will do the Googling for you. They gave this example of multi step reasoning capabilities where they were able to ask a question to Google like find the best yoga or Pilates studios in Boston and show details on their intro offers and walking time from Beacon Hill. And it would take in that entire question slash prompt into Google, do a search and answer all of that for you. Another really cool thing they showed off was in Gmail you'll be able to have this little chat box and ask questions like catch me up on emails from Maywood Park Elementary School and it will look through all of your emails related to school and give you a nice recap so you don't have to skim through tons of emails. You get it all in one place. They're also going to have that in Google Meet and pretty much the entire Google suite of tools are going to get this little sidebar here. They even said later this year in labs, you can ask Gemini to automatically organize email attachments in drive, generate a sheet with the data, and then analyze it for you. They also showed off Ask Photos, which was a really cool feature where it knows the context of all the photos and you can say, when did my daughter learn to swim? And it would look through all your photos and find times where she was swimming and tell you when she learned to swim. Or remind me what themes we've had for Lena's birthday parties. Here are the themes for Lena's last four birthdays. Third, A Princess Celebration. Fourth under the Sea. Fifth and sixth Magical Unicorn Parties. It found all that information by just looking at the photos. One really, really interesting moment that crowd kind of went crazy for was when they showed this feature where when somebody's trying to scam you on a phone call, not a text message on an actual phone call, it will try to detect that and warn you that you might be getting scammed right now. Check this out.
Let's say I get rudely interrupted by an unknown caller right in the middle of my presentation.
Hello?
Hi, I'm calling from Save Moore bank security department. Am I speaking to Dave?
Yeah, this is Dave. Kind of in the middle of something.
We've detected some suspicious activity on your account. It appears someone is trying to make unauthorized charges.
Oh yeah? What. What kind of charges?
I can't give you specifics over the phone, but to protect your account, I'm going to help you transfer your money to a secure account we've set up for you.
And look at this. My phone gives me a warning that this call might be a scam. Gemini Nano alerts me the second it detects suspicious activity. Like a bank asking me to move my money to keep it safe. And everything happens right on my phone. So the audio processing stays completely private to me and on my device. We're currently testing this feature and we'll have more updates to share later this summer.
Now, there were a ton more announcements. Again, I shared an article that had a hundred different announcements and it was just announcement overload. And again, I also made a whole dedicated video just talking about the announcements and my feelings around those announcements. So if you do want to go deeper and learn even more about what happened at Google, I o definitely check out that video as well. I think Joshua Skigala here sort of summed up the two events. Well, the difference between Google and OpenAI OpenAI demos, cool stuff. And I know where to go try it. Google demos 50 things with all sorts of names, random places to go use them, vague release dates and random permission walls I need to pay, apply or move country for. I'm totally lost and thus disinterested. Now, I don't totally agree with that. I am super interested in what Google's releasing. I think they showed off some really, really cool stuff. I also met a lot of the people that were developing these products, a lot of the product managers and the leads on some of these things. And the people building this stuff were really excited about it. They were really passionate about what they were building. When you go to events like this, and I did mention this in my other video, when you go to events like this, you get a better concept of the humanity underneath it all. Google is a big sort of faceless corporation. But you go to an event like this and you meet all the people building this stuff, and they're just as interested in AI and progressing this stuff forward and just as nerdy and passionate and really excited about the work they're putting in. And so I know a lot of people are rooting against Google, but then when you meet the people that are building this stuff and are excited, you don't want to root against them. They're building this stuff that's really cool that they're passionate about, and Google gives them a place to go and try this out and build it. But I do agree that Google has some issues with the naming conventions. I haven't talked to one person at Google who admitted that it's sort of an inside joke at Google that the naming of all this stuff is confusing and hard to keep track of. They also do have a tendency to make big announcements and say it's coming soon and then take forever to release it. I mean, that's just the reality, but that does not diminish what they're showing. The tech that they showed off is really cool. We just want to get our hands on it. All right, let's move on past the OpenAI and Google News, because again, I've talked about it a lot in this video already and I made two other videos about those two events already, but there was some other, albeit more minor, updates from some other companies. And I'll just quickly run through those for you now as well, starting with Anthropic. Anthropic hired Instagram's co founder as its head of product, Mike Krieger, who was one of the co founders at Instagram and also the co founder of the Artifact app, a news app that used AI to help surface relevant news for you, joined Anthropic as the company's Chief Product Officer. It sounds like his role at the company is to engineer good user interfaces and user experiences to get more people excited and talking about and using Anthropic tools like Claude. And while we're on the topic of Anthropic, they just released a new prompt generator. You can now generate production ready prompts in Anthropic Console. Describe what you want to achieve and Claude will use prompt engineering techniques like chain of thought reasoning to create more effective, precise and reliable prompts. So if you go to console.anthropic.com, you can see a little menu here, including one that says Generate a prompt. If we click Generate a prompt, we can give it some minor information about what we want the prompt to achieve. Let's say come up with several ideas for a YouTube title for a video recapping a lot of news in the AI world for the past week. Let's generate the prompt and see what it comes up with. And you can see it generated a pretty in depth prompt here. Your task is to come up with several engaging YouTube video title ideas for video recapping recent developments in the world of artificial intelligence. I'll provide you with a summary of the recent AI news and you will use that to brainstorm title ideas. Here's the summary. Gives me a little area to plug in a summary here. First, brainstorm. After brainstorming, select three top titles. Remember, the goal is to come up with titles that will entice people to click, et cetera. So it took my short one sentence prompt and built it into a really dialed in prompt engineering optimized prompt to use inside of Claude. A few weeks ago I talked about a new AI company called Hume AI, a company that actually can detect the emotion and feelings in your voice when you speak. Like whether or not you're happy or angry or excited. Things like that. Well, Hume just released a new tool called Chatter, an interactive podcast experience. And basically this is a podcast that you can sort of steer the direction of. It's hard to explain, so I'll just show you. If I click Start here, it will just kind of start telling me the news.
Hello, welcome to Chatter, an interactive news podcast. The date is May 16, 2024. Today's top headlines are absolutely riveting.
Hey, I'm going to stop you real quick. Instead of talking about overall news, can you share just the interesting news from the AI world?
All right, let's dive into the fascinating world of AI. Today. There's some thrilling news from this ever evolving field. First up, Nvidia continues to dominate the AI scene. Their processors are in high demand for cloud computing, driving significant AI growth.
What were the big announcements that came out from Google and OpenAI this week?
Oh, yes. All right, let's dive into the latest from Google and OpenAI. Starting with Google, they've made some rouge waves. At their recent Google Isolation event, they introduced the Gemini AI models, which are set to revolutionize how we interact with AI. These models are designed to be more intuitive and efficient.
Well, I think you get the idea. You can sit there and have a conversation with it and it's like listening to the radio, but you can sort of inject your own questions. It will stop talking and then respond to basically what you were asking it to respond to. It's pretty cool. Again, that's called Chatter and you can find it over at Chatter. Hume AI. At the end of last week, this clip kind of went viral from Whitney Wolf Herd, who is the founder of Bumble. And she talked about what the future of dating could look like. Specifically. What was interesting was the part where she talked about how you. You'll have like an AI dating concierge and your dating concierge will go and date other people's AI concierge. And the AIs dating each other will decide if the two real people are compatible. So check this out.
If you want to get really out there. There is a world where your dating concierge could go and date for you with other dating concierge. No, no, Julie. And then you don't have to talk to 600 people. Scan all of the San Francisco for you. Say these are the three people you really ought to meet.
Interesting. I'm not in the dating pool, so I will probably not ever experience this, but I'm pretty dang sure. That is an episode of Black Mirror. I think I saw that one. This week we learned that Meta is exploring AI assisted earphones with cameras. Now, there's not a lot of news about this. This seems to be kind of early speculation, but it sounds like they're exploring, making like airpod type earbuds that have cameras on the little tip of the earbuds so that they can see what's going on. And, you know, imagine like the rabbit or the AI pen or even the Meta ray ban glasses that you wear. Well, this sounds like it could potentially do the same thing where you can hear everything it's telling you but it can also see what's going on around you. Maybe it'll record video, maybe the camera is just to see what's going on to give context to the LLM. I don't know. There's not a lot of details about this yet. This seems to be kind of a rumored thing, but seemed interesting, so I thought I'd share. And finally, this is just the beginning of event season. Next week is Microsoft's build event, which is sort of the equivalent of Google I O, but Microsoft's version and Microsoft tends to do similar to Google where they do these events. Instead of a 30 minute keynote like OpenAI, they do a two hour keynote and, and just bombard you with announcements. So that's kind of what I'm expecting from Microsoft. Also, now that we have GPT4O, we also know that Microsoft works really closely with OpenAI. Microsoft is OpenAI's biggest investor. I also kind of have a feeling a lot of the announcements are going to be this product now has GPT4O in it. This product now has GPT4O in IT. It's probably going to be a lot of. Copilot now works with GPT4O. Copilot now has a voice where you can just chat directly with it. I think we'll probably see some of what we heard from OpenAI being rolled into a lot of Microsoft products. This is another event that I'm going to be at, so I'm going to be doing my best to keep you informed on what I learn at this event. You'll probably see more videos of me recording from a hotel room, but I want to learn as much as I can, meet as many people as I can at these events and turn around and share what I'm seeing and what I'm learning and what I think is really cool. That's in the pipeline. So. So that's happening next week. So next week's news will probably be mostly dominated by Microsoft. And then in June we have a Cisco event where they're gonna be talking about AI and cybersecurity. We have a Qualcomm event where they're probably gonna be talking a lot about their Snapdragon chips and doing more AI processing on mobile devices. And then we also have an Apple event in June, their worldwide developer conference where they're expected to be unveiling a whole bunch of AI features. There's a lot of events coming up. I'm going to be at most of them. I'm not going to be at the Apple event, but I'LL be at the Cisco event, I'll be at the Microsoft event, and I will be at the Qualcomm event, sharing whatever I learned from all of those events in their own respective videos. So super excited. We're just getting started. The AI sort of hype time of the year is ramping up and this is, this is what I'm here for. I love this time of year. I love it when all of these announcements are coming out and I get to try new tools and make videos and tell you about what's coming out. There is so much. You're probably going to see a lot more videos from me over the next couple of weeks because there's going to be a lot to talk about. But that's what I got for you this week. Again, it was mostly Google and OpenAI with a few other little bits and bobs sprinkled in there. Next week it's probably going to be mostly Microsoft. I'm here for it. It's going to be exciting.
