📦 Microsoft's custom chips, Amazon presents Astro, OpenAI hits pause
Microsoft is celebrating its Ignite event today, and there’s a lot of AI-related news coming from them as we speak. The most relevant one? They're rolling out their own chips! Amazon just dropped Astro for business – a cute robot to patrol businesses at night... But maybe it needs to increase the intimidation factor a bit. Oh, and hold off on joining ChatGPT Plus for now. Seriously, OpenAI hit pause due to crazy demand.
