At this point, it is becoming easy to say which AI startup is Mark Zuckerberg Is not Seeing to get
In addition Elias Suttsor’s Safe Sprintelins (SSI), sources, told me that the CEO of Meta recently discussed buying the former Open CTO. Of my darling Thinking machines lab and anxiety, AI-local Google competitors. None of these talks could move forward in the formal offer stage for various reasons, including differences on the prices and strategies of the contract, but they make it clear how Zuckerberg is aggressively re -resumeing its AI efforts to resume its AI efforts.
Now, details about Team Zuckerberg are being collected. SSI co -founder and CEO Daniel Grass, With the former Gathb CEO Nut fresman, Meta AI is ready to guide the assistant. Both people will report Alexander WangThe former CEO, Zuckerberg, paid only more than $ 14 billion to hurry. Wang said goodbye to his scale team last Friday and was at the Meta Office on Monday. This week, he is meeting with top Meta leaders (more on it) and the new AI team is recruiting for Zuckerberg. I expect the team to be unveiled next week.
Instead of joining the CEO of Meta, Stskore, Divine, and Troubled Arand Srinivas The highest prices have moved forward to raise the maximum amount. The Titan Susor of the AI Research Community, a joint foundation for Open, recently raised $ 2 billion for the SSI. I have been told that both Meta and Google are investors in their company. Mariti has just raised only one billion dollars. Neither he nor the saucever is nearing issuing a product. Meanwhile, Srinivas, an uproar of anxiety, is in the process of raising about $ 500 million.
The spokesperson of all the companies involved either refused to comment or did not respond on time for publication. Information And Cnbc The first Zuckerberg reported the conversation with the Safe Sprintilus, while Bloomberg First reported the trouble conversation.
Although Zuckerberg’s recruitment campaign feels to fix Meta’s AI strategy, it has been encouraged, but the situation also highlights the tough competition of high AI talent these days. In my conversation this week, Zuckerberg made nine figures-or even, yes, 10 figures-the best AI is not surprised by the industry because of a compensation offering for the best AI talent. For example, there are some senior people in the Open, who are already paying compensation in this Balpark thanks to the company’s reduction over the past few years.
Speaking of Openi, it is clear that CEO Sam Altman At least a little bit of Zuckerberg has been stirred. His brother’s decision to appear on the podcast this week and said that “none of our best people” is going for Meta is probably going to describe the position of his power, but in fact it seems that he is throwing his ex -colleagues under the bus. I was confused by the reversal of the reversal that paying too much price for meta talent would not “establish a great culture.” Nevertheless, Openai did not pay only $ 6.5 billion for rent Joni ive And his little hardware team?
“We think glasses are the best form factor for AI”
When I joined with zoom call Alex hemalMeta’s VP offware, this week, he just called with Zuckerberg’s new AI chief, Alexander Wang.
Hamil joked as we began our conversation about the release of a new Meta glass with Okley, “There is a growing number of Alexis that I speak on a regular basis.” “I was just in my first meeting with him. There were three people in a room like the real age of the camera, and I was like, ‘Who’s talking right now?’ And then I was like, ‘Oh, hey, it’s Alex.’
The following is modified for the length and description of the question and answer:
How did your appointment with Alex just?
The meeting was about how to make AI as frightening as it could be for glasses. Obviously, there are some unique matters used in glasses that you don’t have on the phone. What we are trying to know is how to balance it all, because AI can be everything for everyone or it can be amazing in more specific cases of use.
We are trying to find out how to beat the right balance because the basic lama models have a ton of things and the whole pipeline we don’t care about glasses. Then there are things that we really care about, such as trying to feed the video in the episode and models to help in some cases of use that we do not make otherwise.
You are referring to this new lineup with Okley “AI glasses”. Is this new branding for this category? They are AI glasses, not smart glasses?
We refer to the category as AI glass. You saw the Orion. You used it for a long time in the demo, which I appreciate you. We used to think that you needed to target the scale for this new category. You need to overload virtual content. You need a large field view and display. Our opinion about this has certainly changed. We believe that we can hit the scale rapidly, and that is why we think this is possible.
Right now, the top two cases used for glasses are audio -phone calls, music, podcasts – and taking photos and videos. We look at the participation rates of our active users, and they have been one and two since the launch. The audio is one. There are a very close photo and videos.
AI ranks three from the beginning. Since we are launching more markets – now we are in 18 years – and we have been adding more features, AI is ringing. Our biggest investment is AI functionality at a mile distance towards software, as we think glasses are the best form of AI. They are something you wear all the time. They can see what you are seeing. They can hear what you hear. They are extremely accessible.
Does your goal is to make AI supided audio and picture for the most used feature for glasses, or is it not how do you think about it?
From a mathematical point of view, best, you can tie. We want AI to become something that is used rapidly by more people. We think there is definitely room for audio to improve. There is definitely scope for the quality of the image image to improve. There is a lot of headrooms in AI’s goods.
How much is AI in glasses compared to the cloud? I imagine that you have many physical obstacles with such a device.
We now have a billion parameter models that can run on the frame. So, faster, there is goods. Then we have things going on the phone.
If you were watching the WWDC, Apple made some announcements that we had not yet had a chance to test, but we are excited about it. A WiFi is familiar with APIS. Every time we should be able to transfer photos and videos without taping this disturbing dialog box. It will be great. The other had access to the background of the processor, which would allow us to process the image when you move to the media. Synchronization will work just as it is on Android.
Do you think the market for these new Okley glasses will be as big as the Ray Bin? Or is it more niche because they are more out and athletes concentrated?
We work with Asyloroxatica, which is an excellent partner. Ray Bean is his biggest brand. Inside it, the most popular style is a warfare. When we launched the original ray Ben Meta glasses, we went to the most popular brand for the most popular brand.
His second largest brand is Okle. Many people wear them. Holbrooke is really famous. HSTN, which we are launching, is a really popular analog frame. We see people using ray meta glasses for rapid use issues. This is our first step in the performance category. There is more to come.
How do you react to Google Announcements for their XR glass platform and spectacular partnerships in I/O?
We have been working with Eselurloxotica for five years now. It’s a long time for contributions. It takes some time to really be synchronized. I feel great about the state of my contribution. We are able to work quickly. Okley meta glasses we have the fastest program. It took less than nine months.
I thought the demo they (Google) were very good. I thought some of them were very compelled. They did not announce any product, so I could not particularly react to what they were doing. It is flattering that people see the traction we are getting and they want to jump.
In front of AR glasses, what are you now learning from Orion that you are showing it in the outside world?
We are moving at full speed. The next version of it We We have really targeted some good internal milestones, which we plan to sell. The biggest teaching of their use is that we feel good about the input and interaction models with eye tracking and nerve bands. I wore myself during the march’s obsession at the office. I was watching the game literally. Picture yourself sitting on a virtual TV table just above people’s heads. It was amazing.
- Taktok has to continue to work illegally. As expected, President Trump extended the deadline for the enforcement of the law that has banned Chinese -owned tricktok in the United States. It is important to understand what is really happening here: Trump is instructing his Attorney General not to impose land fines on Apple, Google, and every other American company that helps to run Teltok. The idea that he will not use this great advantage to remove whatever he wants from these companies, and that the whole process makes fun of everyone involved, not to mention the US legal system.
- Amazon will hire fewer people due to AI. When you make a press release to the employee memo, you are trying to tell the whole world what is coming. In this case, CEO of Amazon Andy Jesi It wants to make it clear that she’s going to embrace AI to reduce costs. About 30 % of the Amazon code is already written by AI, and I am sure that automatically looks at human extreme areas, such as sales and customer service.
