NEWS UPDATES
Meta Recruits Apple's Head of AI Models
Meta has hired Ruoming Pang, the Apple executive who led foundation-model work for iPhone features. Pang joins Meta’s super-intelligence group less than a month after seven OpenAI researchers came aboard. Internal memos suggest Pang will help Meta push smaller frontier models onto Quest headsets and smart glasses.
If you depend on Apple for privacy-grade, on-device AI, watch for near-term brain drain. For your own team, this is a cue to review non-competes, retention grants, and patent coverage before rivals call your senior scientists.
ChatGPT is Testing a New Feature Called “Study Together”
Select ChatGPT Plus users now see “Study Together,” a sidebar that lets people share notes, flashcards, and time-boxed study sessions in real time. Early screenshots show Pomodoro timers, group chat, and automatic quiz generation from shared docs. OpenAI is collecting feedback before wider release.
If you run learning or certification programs, the feature could replace third-party study rooms overnight. Start examining how to pipe your internal docs into ChatGPT spaces so employees learn from the same source of truth.
xAI updated Grok to be more politically incorrect
Elon Musk’s xAI rolled out Grok-1.7 with fewer content filters and a self-described “fun” mode that answers edgy or borderline questions. The update follows Musk’s claim that legacy models are too censored. Early testers report jokes and political takes that GPT-4o would refuse. xAI says an opt-in safety setting will arrive soon.
You need to weigh brand risk against user demand for unfiltered chat. If your product plugs into Grok APIs, set guardrails or content flags before the new tone reaches customers.
