Updates & News - Week 9

Meta's new AR glasses - Aria Gen 2

Context

Meta has revealed the second generation of its Project Aria research glasses, aiming to push the boundaries of machine perception and contextual AI.

Key Information

  • Enhanced Sensor Suite: Includes RGB cameras, 6DOF SLAM, eye tracking, microphones, IMUs, and heart rate sensors.

  • On-Device Processing: Designed to collect real-world data for AI training without cloud dependency.

  • AI and Robotics Research: Supports Meta’s push into AI-driven assistants, AR, and next-gen interfaces.

What to Take Away from This

Meta is going all in on real-world AI learning. The goal is AI that actually understands its surroundings, making assistants, AR, and robotics way smarter. This is a big move toward AI that doesn’t just guess but actually knows what is happening around it.

Siri's Real AI Upgrade Might Take Years

Context

Apple is working on a major AI revamp for Siri, but real improvements could still be years away.

Key Information

  • Generative AI Plans: Apple is developing an upgraded Siri powered by on-device AI.

  • Delayed Rollout: Large-scale improvements may not arrive until 2025 or later.

  • Focus on Privacy: Apple is prioritizing privacy-first AI rather than cloud-based models.

What to Take Away from This

Apple are taking their time to make AI more private and efficient, but that means we will likely see small tweaks before any real AI breakthrough with Siri.

DeepSeek AI Reveals Huge Margins on Its Models

Context

DeepSeek, a rising AI company, claims its theoretical margin on AI model deployment is a staggering 545 percent.

Key Information

  • Massive Profit Potential: Suggests AI services could be far more profitable than previously thought.

  • Lower Compute Costs: Optimization is driving down the cost of running large AI models.

  • China’s AI Push: DeepSeek is emerging as a major player in China’s AI race.

What to Take Away from This

AI is not just advancing, it is getting way more profitable. DeepSeek’s numbers suggest running AI models could be cheaper than expected, meaning bigger margins and more aggressive competition. If true, this could reshape the entire AI business model.
