A first look at Nvidia’s new RTX 4070 Super.

Nvidia only just announced its new RTX 40-series Super GPUs today at CES, but we’ve already got our hands on one. The RTX 4070 Super launches on January 17th at the same $599 price point as the original, but there are more CUDA cores to power 1440p gaming. It looks very similar to the RTX 4070, but Nvidia has picked a slightly darker shade of alloy frame.

Samsung’s CES keynote starts in 20 minutes, and the theme is unmistakable.

Samsung is about to kick off its CES 2024 keynote presentation. You can expect to hear all about new TVs, smart home tech, and maybe even a few surprises.

But the throughline for everything discussed on stage will be AI. I’ve been to CES many times, and artificial intelligence has never dominated the show quite like this — and we’re only on day one.

Maybe AI will help me figure out dress sizes.

Amazon Fashion is banking on large language models to standardize clothing sizes among brands. Amazon said it will use LLMs to extract information from multiple sources and build a “more accurate and consistent size chart,” including recommendations to size up or down.

Amazon Fashion was already using machine learning to recommend sizes. But it’s hoping LLMs will augment that by pulling information like “size accuracy, garment fit on specific body areas, and fabric stretch” from reviews.

TCL announced an updated — and lighter — version of its RayNeo X2 AR glasses.

The RayNeo X2 Lite AR Glasses come in at “just around” 60 grams, according to a press release, which is about half of the X2’s 120g weight, Mashable says. The glasses are tentatively set to launch in Q3, Mashable reports.

TCL is also gearing up for a global launch of the first X2 glasses... on Indiegogo, sometime in February.

Duolingo laid off 10 percent of its contractors because of AI.

Bloomberg reports that a spokesperson for the language learning app said Duolingo doesn’t as many people anymore to perform the contractors’ work, adding that “part of that could be attributed to AI.”

The spokesperson also said AI isn’t a “straight replacement” because workers are already using AI to help them work. Duolingo has long used AI, having incorporated chatbots in 2016 and OpenAI’s Chat GPT-4 early last year.

See LG’s transparent TV roll into CES.

While these days, CES pressers are little more than watching a video with some exec standing on stage talking about it, LG at least had the decency to physically roll out its much-anticipated Signature OLED T TV at its press conference today.

They did it with sufficient flair, and even from the fifth row it was impressive, the galaxy of shooting stars and rising moons making for an awesome display.

Still, a walking, talking robot demo would have been more impressive ...
