Hello, Starters!

AI-powered PCs are taking over, and most companies are looking for ways to enhance their offerings with this technology. Of course, Microsoft is one of them. Windows will soon get a complete revamp with AI magic.

Here’s what you’ll find today:

  • Microsoft unveils its Copilot+ PCs

  • Introducing: Grounding DINO 1.5

  • Beyond languages: the EuroLingua-GPT project

  • Dell announces a new AI Factory

  • Google’s plan for sustainability

  • And more.

💻 Microsoft unveils its Copilot+ PCs (3 min)

Microsoft is celebrating its Build 2024 developer conference today. However, the announcements started yesterday when they unveiled new versions of their Surface devices with enhanced performance and battery life. Most importantly, they introduced their latest offering: the Copilot+ PCs.

These Windows PCs, built on an AI-first approach, will soon be offered by manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung. Microsoft's initiative, powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and Plus chips, aims to improve the Windows experience with a range of AI-driven features, including Recall for app retrieval, real-time translation, and image editing.

Grounding DINO 1.5 is a groundbreaking object detection model developed by IDEA Research that excels at open-set object detection. Built upon a larger Vision Transformer model and trained on over 20 million grounding images, it has scored well across several benchmarks.

It comes in two versions: Pro, for comprehensive open-set object detection, and Edge, optimised for edge computing. Grounding DINO 1.5 showcases how models are continuously improving through fine-tuning, holding great potential for use in various scenarios, including caption phrase grounding.

Looking to overcome language barriers in AI development, Fraunhofer IAIS (Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems) and AI Sweden are joining forces to start training the first models of the "EuroLingua-GPT" project. This initiative aims to deploy multilingual models trained on datasets covering 45 European languages, dialects, and codes.

Both organisations have been granted computer time on the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer in Barcelona. They are using Nvidia's H100 chips to train the models, which range from 7 to 180 billion parameters, and will be available as open-source in the next few months.
