Meta shows off ‘3D Gen’ AI tool that creates textured models faster than ever.

Meta’s AI research team has a new system to create or retexture 3D objects based on a text prompt. It combines text-to-3D and text-to-texture generation models to go beyond AI-generated emoji or still images,

Their paper (pdf) claims 3D Gen’s output is “3× to 60× faster” and preferred by professional artists in comparison to alternatives.

Apple has talked about AI partnerships with Meta and a few others.

At WWDC, Apple announced a deal with OpenAI to make ChatGPT available for certain tasks on iPhones with iOS 18 and other devices (as long as you aren’t in the EU). Execs also mentioned Google Gemini, but the list doesn’t end there, according to the Wall Street Journal.

In addition to Google and Meta, AI startups Anthropic and Perplexity also have been in discussions with Apple to bring their generative AI to Apple Intelligence, said people familiar with the talks.

Say hi, Gemini.

Google’s new ad showcases the many things its Gemini large language model can do — from the Gemini chatbot to Circle to Search and AI Overviews.

I can’t believe we’ve entered the LLM ad phase of this reality, but with ChatGPT becoming a household name and “Apple Intelligence” around the corner, the branding efforts will only increase.

Where did the viral “All eyes on Rafah” image come from?

Two people from Malaysia both say they used Microsoft Image Creator to produce the graphic in support of Palestinians.

It’s been shared over 50 million times now, and now NPR has spoken to both of them: Zila Abka, who months ago posted the version found by 404 Media on Facebook, and Amirul Shah, who shared the now-viral Instagram template.
