This week, Google made a comeback with Gemini, a sophisticated, all-encompassing new AI model. Wikipedia, on the other hand, served as a reminder to the tech industry of the dominance of OpenAI by revealing, among other statistics, that "ChatGPT" was the most popular article on the platform in 2023.
Hypebeast has compiled the week's best tech stories below so you can keep up with market developments.
Regarding products, CASETify is releasing an extensive line of Naruto cases for tablets, AirPods, computers, and phones. A $650 mechanical keyboard that JJJJound introduced was also a hit, selling out in a single day.
'Naruto' Is the Inspiration for CASETiFY's New Collection
Based in Hong Kong CASETify is well-known for its extensive selection of useful but entertaining tech accessories. Over the years, the brand has partnered with a variety of entities, including popular snack brands like Oreo, well-known automakers like Lamborghini, and superheroes like Marvel's Spiderman. For a new accessory line, the brand has partnered with the well-known manga and anime Naruto.
Along with Naruto's iconic graphics, the brand looked to military and modern living themes to bring the new collaboration to life. For instance, specially designed images of Sasuke and Minato can be found on smartphone cases. One of the other iconic images from the well-known manga and anime series is the Akatsuki cloud symbol.
Wikipedia's Most Popular Article of 2023 is "ChatGPT"
Wikipedia has made available its 2023 user statistics. Even though AI chatbots appeared to be the talk of the past year, people were particularly interested in learning more about OpenAI's ChatGPT.
49,490,406 pageviews were recorded on the "ChatGPT" page, which was shared by the Wikimedia Foundation. Users flocked to see "Deaths in 2023" with 42,666,860 pageviews, second only to ChatGPT. The "2023 Cricket World Cup" ranked third. Even with their popularity, those pages make up a very small portion of all of Wikipedia. This year, the platform saw over 84 billion views overall.
$650 USD Vintage-Inspired Mechanical Keyboard by JJJJound Engineers.
JJJJound is paying homage to the mechanical keyboards of the 1970s with its own rendition. For the $650 USD JJJJound-branded Model F keyboard, the brand collaborated with vintage-inspired keyboard manufacturer Model F Labs.
The distinctive clicket-clack sound of the already sold-out board is produced by a capacitive bucking spring system. The keys have a serif font and are housed in a zinc metal die-cast case. The board is compatible with most USB-C devices, including Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Google Unveils Gemini, Its "Largest and Most Capable" AI Model
With its own interpretation of the AI chatbot, Bard, Google followed in the footsteps of OpenAI earlier this year. With what it describes as its "largest and most capable" AI model, the company has returned.
To meet user needs, the multimodal language model known as Gemini is divided into multiple components. For example, Gemini Pro is designed for a broader range of applications, whereas Gemini Ultra is intended to handle exceptionally complex tasks. On the other hand, Gemini Nano is designed to work with mobile devices.
According to Demis Hassabis, CEO and co-founder of Google DeepMind, Gemini is built to "generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across and combine different types of information including text, code, audio, image, and video."
