Our galaxy is being tugged toward a mysterious spot called the Great Attractor. It's kind of like the universe's big magnet.
Hidden by the Milky Way's own bulk, making it hard to see directly, this space oddity packs a gravitational punch with a mass tens of thousands of times that of the Milky Way, pulling everything towards it.
TODAY:
Gaudi 3, Intel’s secret AI weapon.
Meta and OpenAI have some mind-blowing plans.
Around the web: What’s back in China after 14 years? And a hot laptop with AI features.

INTEL
Intel just launched a new AI chip called Gaudi 3, making waves in the AI world.
As companies strive to develop chips for complex AI, like the tech behind ChatGPT, Intel's latest offering is grabbing attention for its power and speed, giving Nvidia a run for its money.
Why Nvidia is sweating
It's over twice as energy-efficient and 1.5 times faster at running AI models than its main rival, Nvidia’s H100 GPU.
Plus, Intel offers it in various styles to fit into different setups, from a pack of eight chips for big projects to a single card that fits into current systems.
Let's zero in on three big points about the Gaudi 3:
It beats other chips in how fast and efficiently it works.
You can get the Gaudi 3 in different setups, making it easy to use in many systems.
Intel is aiming to take on Nvidia’s lead by offering competitive prices and teaming up with others for broader software support.
Intel tested the Gaudi 3 with AI models like Meta’s Llama and saw it excel in tasks from image generation to speech recognition.
Its power-saving feature and ability to fit into various systems make it a strong Nvidia competitor.
Intel plans to sell the Gaudi 3 chips later this year but hasn't said how much they'll cost.
They're promising something that’ll stand up to Nvidia’s chips, though.
Big names like Dell and HP are already planning to use these chips in their products.
The chip goldrush continues
The AI chip market is booming, fueled by the need for powerful AI and more affordable computing.
Intel's move with Gaudi 3 suggests it's ready to mix things up, offering alternatives and pushing for open software that could change how tech companies pick their AI chips.
After proving that they’re undefeated in the AI chip wars, Nvidia finally has some real competition!

PRESENTED BY SUPERHUMAN
Superhuman was already the fastest email experience in the world, designed to help customers fly through their inboxes twice as fast as before.
We’ve taken it even further with Superhuman AI — an inbox that automatically summarizes email conversations, proactively fixes spelling errors, translates emails into different languages, and even automatically pre-drafts replies for you, all in your own voice and tone.
Superhuman customers save 4 hours every week, and with Superhuman AI, they get an additional hour back to focus on what matters to them.
On This Day
11th April 1970 - Apollo 13 is launched towards the Moon. The mission suffers a critical failure en route, leading to the famous "Houston, we have a problem" transmission. The crew safely returns to Earth on April 17.

AI MODELS
In the fast-paced world of AI, big players like OpenAI and Meta are getting ready to launch some exciting updates.
They're about to introduce new AI models that do more than just chat – they're designed to think and plan like humans.
Meta is on the brink of releasing Llama 3, which aims to make AI smarter in reasoning, planning, and remembering.
OpenAI, with Microsoft's backing, is hinting at their next big thing, likely called GPT-5, which is set to tackle more complex challenges with advanced reasoning, shared by OpenAI's COO, Brad Lightcap.
Moving from basic tasks to deeper thinking is a huge step towards making AI as smart as humans.
Not your average AIs
This isn't just about making conversation; it's about AI managing a series of tasks, knowing the impact of its actions, and making smart choices.
Additionally, this progress is part of a larger trend with companies like Google, Anthropic, and Cohere also joining the race.
They're all working towards creating AI that can generate text, images, code, and videos that are indistinguishably human-like, speeding up the journey to smarter AI.
Here’s what you should know:
OpenAI and Meta are about to unveil AI models that think and plan, moving us closer to AI that's as smart as humans. This step forward aims to make AI not just talk but think deeply and plan ahead.
This progress is a big deal in the AI world, showing how far we've come towards creating AI that can do tasks, predict outcomes, and make decisions like humans, making our interaction with technology smarter and more intuitive.
These smarter AI models will be part of our everyday tech, from helping us out on WhatsApp to guiding us through repairs with smart glasses. This means AI will play a bigger, more helpful role in our daily tech use.
Yann LeCun from Meta points out that today's AI can't yet think ahead or remember things for long, which can lead to mistakes.
But with the upcoming upgrades, AI could help plan a trip from Paris to New York, handling all the steps.
Both Meta and OpenAI see these new AI models becoming a big part of our lives, helping us with everyday tasks through apps and smart devices.
The future looks like it'll be one where AI helps us more naturally and effectively.
In short, the next wave of AI is not just about being more capable but making our digital interactions smarter, easier, and more understanding.
These new models are giving me serious Jarvis vibes (minus the snark, hopefully).

Don’t Miss - After nearly eight years of efforts by the FCC, internet providers must now disclose detailed information about the costs, fees and speeds of their broadband services starting this week. This requirement, aimed at all but the smallest ISPs, mandates the publication of “Nutrition labels” for broadband plans, as announced by the regulator. The FCC aims for these labels to help consumers easily compare plans, ensuring transparency and preventing hidden fees.
