1. New iMacs, Macbook Pros may be announced on Oct. 30/31, as generative AI features coming in 2024

  • New 24ā€ iMac and Macbook Pros are likely coming on Oct. 30 or 31, right before Apple reports earnings on Nov. 2.

2. 3D-GPT converts text into low-quality 3D renders

3D-GPT.

  • Code to be released ā€œsoon after paper acceptance.ā€

  • A joint effort of researchers from the Australian National University, University of Oxford, and the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence. - VentureBeat, 3D-GPT

  • Other groups have published similar models, such as 3D-LLM.

Our view: these models are just toys in 2023, but could become completely revolutionary in 2024+

  • Similarly to the jump from GPT-2/3 to GPT 3.5/4, these AI models are improving at a rapid pace, and could be generating high-quality 3D models in a few months.
