🗣️ GOOGLE'S VOICE COUP - BEATS OPENAI

Google launched Gemini Live, a mobile conversational AI with advanced voice capabilities, while OpenAI's ChatGPT voice mode remains in limited alpha.

How does Gemini Live up the ante?

• Offers "in-depth" hands-free conversations

• Features 10 different human-like voice options

• Allows mid-response interruptions and follow-ups

What's missing from the package?

Camera view integration is planned for later this year, not available at launch.

How does it compare to other tech giants?

Similar to Apple's upcoming Intelligence features, Gemini integrates directly with Google for context-aware answers.

Who gets to play with it first?

• Default assistant on Google's Pixel 9

• Available to all Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android

• iOS version coming soon

Why should we care?

This launch signals a shift towards AI as a collaborative intelligence we interact with naturally, potentially reshaping how we engage with technology daily.

Is OpenAI losing its edge?

As anticipation builds for OpenAI's unreleased products, Google's swift rollout could be stealing the spotlight in the AI voice race.

TODAY`s PICK

• Canalys reported AI PCs accounted for 14% of all personal computers shipped in Q2, and Apple led the way with a 60% market share.

• Atlas AI partnered with Airbus to provide hyperlocal travel demand forecasts using AI analysis of satellite imagery.

• xAI’s next model, Grok 2.0, supposed screenshots have begun circulating on X. It’ll allegedly feature Black Forest Labs’ new text-to-image model Flux as well as new writing and coding capabilities.

• A Financial Times investigation found that about half of job applicants are using LLMs to help craft their cover letters and resumes. Recruiters say their pool of candidates is larger than ever now that anyone can generate an application in a matter of seconds.

• A new computer model from researchers in Iraq and Australia can reportedly detect diseases like diabetes and asthma with 98% accuracy — using nothing more than a photo of someone’s tongue.

• OpenAI has reclaimed the LMSYS throne with a new version of GPT-4o. This version powers ChatGPT right now and is also available via API.
