The Samsung Galaxy S24 has some top AI features - but the cloud provider behind them might be a bit of a surprise

Samsung’s latest flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S24, has finally been unveiled, and we now know that it will come packed with artificial intelligence enhancements, but they’re not in-house developments.

Instead, Samsung has revealed a “multi-year” partnership with Google Cloud to bring generative AI into its phones.

Google’s Gemini Pro multimodal model, plus Imagen 2 on Vertex AI, are set to be deployed to Galaxy S24 devices, putting powerful AI in the hands of thousands of consumers.

Galaxy S24 gets Google’s generative AI

Samsung proudly proclaimed in its announcement that, in doing so, it had become the first Google Cloud partner to deploy Gemini Pro on Vertex AI to consumers. The Gemini family of models were announced just recently and poses a big threat to OpenAI’s GPT models.

Being a multimodal model, Gemini can combine text, code, images, and video. In the case of its deployment on Samsung Galaxy S24 devices, it promises to generate summaries across Notes, Voice Recorded, and Keyboard.

Janghyun Yoon, Corporate EVP and Head of Software Office of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, said: “After months of rigorous testing and competitive evaluation, the Google Cloud and Samsung teams worked together to deliver the best Gemini-powered AI experience on Galaxy.”

Imagen 2, a text-to-image diffusion technology, will deliver “safe and intuitive” photo editing capabilities to consumers, and will be built right into the Galaxy S24’s Gallery app.

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, said: “With Gemini, Samsung’s developers can leverage Google Cloud’s world-class infrastructure, cutting-edge performance, and flexibility to deliver safe, reliable, and engaging generative AI powered applications on Samsung smartphone devices.”

Looking ahead, Samsung’s future looks to be getting a generative AI boost. As part of the partnership, it also became one of the first customers to test Google’ flagship version, Gemini Ultra, which outperforms GPT-4 in many benchmark tests.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

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...
