AI Robots & Apple Intelligence

1/ It's Glowtime! – Apple Intelligence

Get ready for a glow-up, Apple style! In June, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, a game-changing suite of AI-powered tools debuting on iOS 18. This is just the beginning—Apple's next-gen smartphones, armed with the cutting-edge V9 chip, will take this intelligence mainstream, rolling out to the broader market in late 2024 or early 2025. The future is looking bright!

2/ AI Laundry Robot?

Ever dreamed of a robot doing your laundry and brewing your morning coffee? Meet Isaac, the multitasking marvel from startup Waeve. Controlled by voice, text commands, or scripts, Isaac is designed to handle those pesky chores you’d rather skip.

At $59,000, it’s a luxury, but remember when Teslas were just for the elite? Like Elon’s strategy, expect the price to drop as Isaac gears up to disrupt the market. Your chore-free future might be closer than you think!

3/ Robot Utility Models?

And speaking of robots… let’s talk about the next big wave: Robot Utility Models, or RUMs. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized tech in the past two years, RUMs are setting the stage for a whole new era. Think of them as zero-shot robo-geniuses, tackling tasks in unfamiliar homes with over 90% success rates!

Check out this visual from NYU’s CS professor, Professor Pinto, for a deep dive into RUM structures:

Soon, robots might just outnumber us humans, and RUMs could be the key to prompting them in all the right ways!
