I am particularly interested in the AI advancements of leading companies such as Google, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, AWS, NVIDIA, Microsoft, AMD, Hugging Face, Snowflake, Cohere, Anthropic, Perplexity, Mistral and other promising startups. My focus includes products like language models, GPUs, chatbots, AI agents, robotics, image generation, video generation, speech synthesis, code assistants, and more. I don't want news about autonomous driving or news unrelated to AI.
