The new model, called RFM-1, was trained on years of data collected from Covariant’s small fleet of item-picking robots that customers like Crate & Barrel and Bonprix use in warehouses around the world, as well as words and videos from the internet. In the coming months, the model will be released to Covariant customers. The company hopes the system will become more capable and efficient as it’s deployed in the real world. So what can it do? In a demonstration I attended last week, Covariant cofounders Peter Chen and Pieter Abbeel showed me how users can prompt the model using…

The news: In the summer of 2021, OpenAI quietly shuttered its mulrobotics team, announcing that progress was being stifled by a lack of data necessary to train robots in how to move and reason using artificial intelligence.Now three of OpenAI’s early research scientists say the startup they spun off in 2017, called Covariant, has solved that problem. They’ve unveiled a system that combines the reasoning skills of large language models with the physical dexterity of an advanced robot. How it works: The new model, called RFM-1, was trained on years of data collected from Covariant’s small fleet of item-picking robots,…
After making a name for itself in the Apple-dominated tablet market with ultra-affordable and generally compact devices, Amazon finally unveiled a larger-than-average slate last year. The aptly named Fire Max 11 comes with an 11-inch screen and other specs described by its maker as “high-end” but also a decidedly not-premium price tag.That normally starts at $229.99 (with lockscreen ads), but for a presumably limited time, you can slash a substantial 60 bucks off a $244.99 list price without any such interruptions. That’s for an entry-level 64GB storage configuration, of course, while a 128 gig variant is currently even more deeply…

Artificial intelligence seems to have become the main focus of many tech companies. Everyone has a chatbot these days and while this is certainly not a bad thing, it’s probably going to take some time before the AI will be used for truly meaningful tasks like discovering treatments for diseases or solutions to prevent global warming.Opera is one of the companies that invested heavily in AI. Opera One, its rather new AI-focused browser, is an attempt to offer users an innovative experience to those looking for such a product.Over the weekend, Opera announced it’s starting an AI Feature Drops program…
Although Samsung hasn’t yet announced anything related to the Galaxy M15, the smartphone has already been listed on the company’s Iraqi website. The phone’s page contains all the technical specifications, but there’s no mention of availability and price.Even so, the price of the Galaxy M15 is not that hard to guess since this has almost the same specs as the Galaxy A15, a phone that’s already been released on the market. That being said, we expect the Galaxy M15 to cost no more than the equivalent of $200. Considering that the Galaxy M15 doesn’t feature 5G support, it might be…

Last year the FDA created a new category of hearing aids that can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription, a medical exam, or a fitting. And with that in mind, Apple could be poised to enter this market with the AirPods Pro. According to Mark Gurman in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, we shouldn’t expect to see any changes to the AirPods Pro hardware in 2024. Instead, Gurman writes that the “big news will be a major new hearing aid mode, coming alongside iOS 18.”Back in November 2022, we told you about a study conducted at the…

A CAD render posted on X shows us what the iPhone 16 may look like.Like the iPhone 16 Pro, the iPhone 16 is expected to have the same general design as its predecessor.

Gurman said that the design Apple was working on around 2020 was similar to the rounded Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle. This is a van that at the time, looks the same in the front and back so that it always appears that the vehicle is moving forward. Gurman says that the vehicle resembled no other vehicle mass-produced at the time and was designed for full Level 5 autonomous driving. At one point, the Apple Car would have resembled the 2017 VW ID Buzz prototype While Apple changed the looks of the car’s interior a few times, the look was a minimalist…
