OpenAI Shuts Down Atlas, Expands AI Browser Features
TechCrunch AIhigh confidence
Why it matters
- →OpenAI's shift indicates a strategic focus on integrating AI into existing platforms rather than creating standalone products.
- →The new features enhance ChatGPT's utility, making it a more comprehensive tool for users.
- →This move positions OpenAI to compete directly with similar offerings from Google and Microsoft.
OpenAI is discontinuing its AI-powered browser, Atlas, launched in October, but is not stepping away from AI-driven web browsing. Instead, it is incorporating Atlas's features into ChatGPT's desktop application and a new Chrome extension. This strategic pivot suggests OpenAI sees the browser as a feature rather than a standalone product. The new Chrome extension allows users to interact with web pages and perform tasks directly from the browser, while the desktop app now includes a more advanced browser. These updates aim to make ChatGPT a continuous workspace across platforms.

Llama.cpp b9948 Release Enhances CUDA Efficiency
The latest b9948 release of llama.cpp focuses on optimizing memory usage in CUDA operations, specifically in the ggml_top_k() and ggml_argsort() functions. By processing data in smaller chunks, the update reduces the need for large temporary buffers, enhancing performance on CUDA-enabled systems. This release also includes minor code improvements like allocating temporary destinations only once and refining the use of ternary operators. While no new model architectures are introduced, these changes make llama.cpp more efficient for developers working with CUDA, particularly in memory-constrained environments.
