TOP STORY
🗞️ Nvidia unveils new superchips to power AI PCs
Source: Nvidia
Yesterday Nvidia debuted its GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series of desktop graphics cards at CES 2024.
Key points:
The GeForce RTX 40 SUPER family features three chips that are up to 2.5x faster than Nvidia’s previous generation of GPUs.
Although the cards are primarily designed for gaming, Nvidia says the new GPUs are also powerful options for running AI applications locally.
AI PCs will eventually allow users to access generative AI apps from their own devices, ensuring that private data isn’t uploaded to the cloud.
What this means: Nvidia’s new GPUs will usher in a new wave of laptops and desktops designed to run AI natively rather than in the cloud. AI PCs will be available to consumers and enterprises soon.

Volkswagen is upgrading its in-car voice assistant by integrating ChatGPT into its software.

Questions and answers are deleted immediately and ChatGPT does not gain access to any vehicle data.
Volkswagen will debut the new assistant as a standard feature during the second quarter of 2024.
