Opera may soon get its own version of ChatGPT

Opera’s web browsers, including its Opera GX, may soon be next to receive the ChatGPT upgrade if its parent firm has anything to say about it.

According to CNBC and reported on by Neowin, Opera's parent company Kunlun Tech plans on integrating the hugely popular OpenAI program ChatGPT into its own products. So far there have been no confirmations on which products those would be, or whether that includes its Opera and Opera GX web browsers.

This announcement comes on the heels of Microsoft and Google revealing their own ChatGPT-like products, with the former integrating it into both Bing and Edge while the latter’s Bard AI will be attached to Google Search. And it’s been revealed that both the Chinese search engine Baidu and Chinese firm Alibaba are set to release their own ChatGBT clones.

Why use ChatGPT?

As ChatGPT grows in popularity, tech giants have been rushing to get their own versions of the OpenAI program out the door, whether as completely separate programs or attached to existing services.

According to the latest data from Statcounter, Opera’s current market share in the desktop browser market is 3.41%, the lowest of the major browsers. Integrating its browsers with its own version of ChatGBT could most certainly bump up that percentage, especially if it offers a higher quality experience than its competitors.

Of course, this is pure speculation as we don’t know which of Kunlun Tech’s products will be getting the AI program treatment, but considering how many browsers have already rolled out similar ones, it makes the most sense for Opera to be next in line.

There's a risk to investing in such new technology, as we've seen how much damage bad actors can cause with it. Not to mention plagiarism, dangerous misinformation spreading, and other major issues because of it. Still, it's already energized the nearly terminal Microsoft Bing search engine, so it's likely to help give Opera a shot in the arm as well.

The latest Apple TV 4K test lets you watch four sports streams at once

Apple is trying something new with the latest beta version of tvOS 16.5: the option to watch up to four simultaneous streams at once. Right now it's limited to live sports streamed through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K , specifically MLB Friday Night Baseball and the MLS Season Pass. A multi-view option was spotted in the tvOS software last month, but the code was hidden and not enabled. MacRumors reported that the feature would be enabled this weekend, and beta testers have since been able to use it. As yet multi-view hasn't been officially announced by Apple, but it's expected that tvOS 16.5 is going to be pushed out in its final form within the next month or so. WWDC 2023 is around the corner as well, when we should be hearing about the next major updates for Apple's various operating systems – including tvOS 17. How it works Over at 9to5Mac there's a hands-on demonstrating how the multi-view feature works, and it's pretty much as you would expe...

Quantum computers are fast becoming cheaper and smaller — and they could be coming to a data center near you very soon

IonQ claims we’re closer to widespread enterprise quantum computing deployment as it lifted the lid on two rack-mounted models that can be deployed on-premises.   The startup has built the fourth-generation #AQ35 IonQ Forte Enterprise and fifth-generation #AQ64 IonQ Tempo, both of which are designed to be deployed in enterprise and government data centers. It’s also said it is deploying two quantum computers to the US Air Force.  While revealing these two models, IonQ co-founder and CTO Jungsang Kim said quantum computers are already in use by enterprises to churn through machine learning workloads. This, he added, suggests we’re much closer to readily available and affordable machines. Priming enterprises for a quantum future “We believe in the enterprise-grade quantum computing, which is where it can be something of value for enterprises, can happen in the next few years as we build powerful enough quantum computers that can actually do things that classical computers w...

Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU could get cheaper with a new version – but don’t get your hopes up

Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is purportedly getting a new spin on the GPU which could reduce the cost, but any price reduction will likely be very minor, sadly, if it happens at all. Tom’s Hardware flagged up this rumor – and treat it with caution, as with anything from the ever-spinning mill – that originated from HKEPC (a tech site in Hong Kong), claiming that while the current RTX 4080 graphics card is built on the AD103-300 chip, Nvidia is going to use a slightly different GPU in the future, namely AD103-301. There’s now more evidence this is actually happening, Tom’s points out, courtesy of a graphics card maker, Galax, which under its RTX 4080 product details lists the GPU as ‘AD103-300/301’. Furthermore, VideoCardz , which also picked up on this, informs us that Gainward, another card maker, has also listed the updated GPU variant AD103-301 in its product specs. With two separate third-party graphics card makers mentioning this new spin on the GPU in their specs, it seems pret...
