/in /tarafından

Meta (META.O) announced on Friday its partnership with sports eyewear brand Oakley to introduce AI-powered smart glasses, marking an expansion in Meta’s wearable technology lineup following the success of Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

The new product, named Oakley Meta HSTN, features a hands-free high-resolution camera, open-ear speakers, water resistance, and integrated Meta AI capabilities. The limited-edition glasses will be available for preorder starting July 11 at $499, with additional models priced from $399 launching later this summer.

Meta plans to release the Oakley Meta HSTN initially across North America, Australia, and several European countries, with further expansion to Mexico, India, and the United Arab Emirates expected by the end of the year.

The launch will coincide with major sports events this month, including Fanatics Fest and UFC International Fight Week, highlighting Oakley’s strong sports brand presence.

In the growing AI-powered wearables market, Meta faces competition from companies like Snap, which recently announced its consumer smart glasses “Specs” for release next year, and Google, which is also exploring similar technology investments.

OpenAI Unveils “Deep Research” AI Tool for Advanced Web-Based Research

/in /tarafından

On Sunday, OpenAI launched a new AI tool called “Deep Research,” designed to perform multi-step research tasks by gathering and synthesizing information from various online sources. This tool is powered by an advanced version of OpenAI’s upcoming o3 model, specifically optimized for web browsing and data analysis.

With Deep Research, users provide a prompt, and ChatGPT uses the tool to find, analyze, and compile data from various sources, including text, images, and PDFs, to produce a detailed research report comparable to the work of a research analyst. OpenAI claims that the tool can accomplish in minutes what would typically take a human several hours.

However, OpenAI has noted that Deep Research is still in its early stages and has some limitations. For instance, it may struggle to differentiate between authoritative information and rumors. Additionally, it faces challenges in accurately conveying uncertainty, often failing to present the level of confidence required in certain cases.

Deep Research is now available via the web version of ChatGPT, with plans to roll it out to mobile and desktop apps in February. This launch follows OpenAI’s introduction of another AI tool in January, called “Operator,” which is designed to assist with a variety of tasks, such as creating to-do lists or helping with vacation planning.
