NVIDIA has just updated its ChatRTX AI chatbot with support for new LLMs, new media search abilities, and speech recognition technology. Check it out:

The latest version of ChatRTX supports more LLMs including Gemma, the latest open, local LLM trained by Google. Gemma was developed by the same research and technology that Google used to create Gemini models, and is built for responsible AI development.

ChatRTX now supports ChatGLM3, an open, bilingual (English and Chinese) LLM based on the general language model framework. The updated version of ChatRTX now lets users interact with image data through Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training from OpenAI. CLIP is a neural network that, as NVIDIA explains, through training and refinement will learn visual concepts from natural lanage supervsion -- a model that recognizes what the AI is "seeing" in image collections.

NVIDIA isn't going to be left out with the coming AI PC revolution, with AMD and Intel already releasing NPU-powered processors for AI workloads, NVIDIA has just announced the "Premium AI PC" with RTX hardware, compared to the "Basic AI PC" with an NPU on the CPU.

NVIDIA compares that a Premium AI PC with an RTX GPU for AI workloads can provide gigantic performance uplifts for AI TOPS of between 100 and a whopping 1300+ TOPS (int8 + FP8 workloads) compared to just 10-45 TOPS on current, and next-gen CPUs with beefed-up NPUs.

Intel and AMD will combine the TOPS performance of the CPU + GPU + NPU, because if they used the NPU alone, the AI power is nowhere near as great. The more the NPU is used, the more resources that are taken away from other key parts of the chip: ya know, like the CPU and GPU.

Intel has just announced that it has surpassed 500 AI models running optimized on its Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" CPUs.

The company issued a press release today, saying that the industry's leading AI PC processor is available right now enabling new AI experiences, immersive graphics and optimal battery life. This significant milestone is a result of the investments by Intel in client AI, the AI PC transformation, framework optimizations and AI tools including OpenVINO toolkit.

Intel said that the 500 AI models that were trained can be deployed across the CPU, GPU, or NPU, with models drawing from categories of local AI inferencing, including large language, diffusion, super resolution, object detection, image classification/segmentation, computer vision, and more.

Intel's next-generation Core Ultra 200 "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors will launch later this year, with 6 different SKUs and a flagship 24-core CPU based on next-gen P-Core and E-Core architectures.

Now we've got some new information regarding upcoming SKUs in the Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU family, with the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K, and Core Ultra 5 245K. The new Core Ultra 9 285K will be the successor to the Core i9-14900K, the Core Ultra 7 265K is the successor to the Core i7-14700K, and finally, the Core Ultra 5 245K is the successor to the Core i5-14600K.

We'll also see non-K variants of these processors, with the Core Ultra 9 275, Core Ultra 7 255, and Core Ultra 5 240 processors. The leaks are coming from "OneRaichi" on X, who said that "the rules of names look like a little change".

AMD is preparing a huge wave of next-gen Zen 5 processors in the coming months, with its Strix Halo APUs shaping up to be beasts.

In a new video from Moore's Law is Dead, we're hearing whispers of AMD's new Strix Halo-LP APU, which would be a low-power version of Strix Halo with 6 to 8 cores, and 20 CUs of GPU power that would provide RTX 3050 performance-per-watt-style power.

MLID says that AMD's new Zen 5-powered Strix Halo APUs will come in four different SKUs: Best, Better, Good, and the new LP model we're talking about today. The Strix Halo "Best" APU will feature 8, 12, or 16 cores based on the new Zen 5 architecture, with 40 CUs of RDNA 3.5-based GPU power that provides RTX 4070-class performance. We'll see a 256-bit memory bus on the Strix Halo "Best" APU with around 270GB/sec of memory bandwidth.

Apple TV Plus, the Apple-owned streaming service best known for shows like Severance and Ted Lasso, has announced the first season premiere date for something entirely different - an epic animated adventure called WondLa. The season is the first of a trilogy and is based on the New York Times bestselling book series "The Search for WondLa" by Tony DiTerlizzi.

Apple TV Plus confirmed that the seven-episode first season of WondLa will premiere globally on the streaming service on Friday, June 28, although there is no confirmation on when the rest of the trilogy will land on our screens.

The press page for the WondLa show on Apple's website says that the adventure centers around Eva, a character voiced by Jeanine Mason, a character who's described as being curious, enthusiastic, and a spirited teenager. She's being raised in a state-of-the-art underground bunker by Muthr, a robot caretaker, voiced by Emmy Award nominee Teri Hatcher. But on her 16th birthday, an attack on the bunker forced her onto the Earth's surface which just so happens to now be inhabited by aliens and otherworldly fauna.

If you're an Apple TV Plus subscriber you're no stranger to having some top-notch TV show content to watch, and it would appear that there's something new for you to start to get excited about. Presumed Innocent is an eight-part limited series starring and executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal and Apple TV Plus just made the first teaser trailer available online. And it looks very good indeed.

The show also includes a star-studded ensemble cast including Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, O-T Fagbenle, Chase Infiniti, Elizabeth Marvel, Nana Mensah, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard and Kingston Rumi Southwick

The new show will premiere on Apple TV Plus with the first two episodes on Wednesday, June 12 before a new episode arrives every Wednesday until the season's completion on July 24. The show, like many of Apple TV Plus' best, is based on a New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Scott Turow.

If you're a soccer fan who hasn't yet signed up for the MLS Season Pass offering on Apple TV, now is the time to do just that. Apple is offering a full 25% discount off the usual asking price for a year's subscription, giving you the chance to take all of the soccer in at a discounted price. However, as great as that is, there's a catch.

That catch? You're getting a 25% discount because this isn't a full season - the subscription will give you access to the rest of the season's content but you've obviously already missed a chunk after the MLS season began in February. Still, if you want to jump in now it's great that you aren't paying for content that you've already missed.

This offer means that you can take out an MLS Season Pass subscription for just $69 for the remainder of the season, down from the usual $99 asking price that was being offered previously. Those who are already Apple TV Plus subscribers can also benefit from an additional discount, making the MLS Season Pass offering just $59 for the remainder of the season. The MLS Season comes to a close on October 19 and the pass also includes the end-of-season playoffs that are expected to kick off around that time too.

When Apple announced the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus back in September of last year, there were tons of different colors for people to choose from. However, the lack of a (PRODUCT)RED version was a surprise, especially given the fact the (PRODUCT)RED version of previous iPhones had proven so popular among customers. There was a suggestion at the time that perhaps Apple was holding the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 15 back for a mid-season refresh, and that's something that's popped up once again.

That's after (RED)'s X social network account posted a photo of a (PRODUCT)RED iPhone atop some donuts. The caption simply suggested that people should have an Apple before their donuts, but it's as-yet unclear what the iPhone in question actually is. It's possible that it's just an old iPhone 14 of course, but that would be a surprise given the fact that the device is no longer the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer.

With that in mind, this could actually be an iPhone 15 although there's one possible complication here. The iPhone 15 has a color-infused back glass which is matte and has a very distinctive look. This iPhone, shown in the X post embedded above, doesn't appear to have that feature which does make us think this isn't an iPhone 15 after all.

There has been a lot of talk about the upcoming iOS 18 software update for the iPhone of late, much of it revolving around an expectation that Apple is going to bring some new AI capabilities to bear. While we haven't yet had confirmation as to what those new features will be, there's a lot of excitement about what they could offer iPhone users around the globe. However, not all of the new iOS 18 upgrades will be related to AI, and some of them will be good old-fashioned feature improvements. And a new report suggests that there will be improvements to the way people manage tasks and their time on their devices.

According to a new AppleInsider report, Apple plans to make changes to the Calendar app in iOS 18 and macOS 15 software updates to allow people to add reminders via that app for the first time. Currently, reminders must be added via the dedicated Reminders app, but that now looks set to change.

Citing unnamed sources who are reportedly familiar with the iOS 18 and macOS 15 software updates in their current pre-beta state, AppleInsider says that people will be able to right-click on a date in the Calendar app and then choose to create a new Reminder for that day. Creating a new reminder via this method will offer people the chance to choose a title, add a note, or assign a tag as a way of making it easier to find again at a later date.
