Earlier today, Samsung began sharing its vision for AI through a generative AI model called “Gauss.” We figured with the timing of this AI reveal that Samsung was going to toss this Gauss AI into the Galaxy S24 when it launches early in 2024.

In my recent post of 30 Days With Pixel 8 Pro, I mentioned the AI-powered Magic Editor feature, found inside Google Photos. It’s a really fun feature that allows you to edit your images based on suggestions from Google’s AI. It can tweak sky colors, generate fantastical things, fix closed eyes, and much more.

With the release of the August Android update, the original Pixel 4a received what should have been its final update.

We just got Android 14 last month as a Pixel Feature Drop, and we know that December’s update is a big QPR1 build, so for November, a sprinkling of bug fixes onto specific devices would make sense. … Continued Read the original post: Google Fixes 7 Bugs in Pixel’s November Update Read more ›

Google spent the majority of its Pixel 8 launch event talking about AI, just like they did at Google I/O a few months earlier.
