With Googles Pixel event coming to a conclusion, we now have a comprehensive look at what AI upgrades are coming to the Pixel 9 devices, as well as a fair understanding of what Apples plans are for AI (or Apple Intelligence) on their upcoming iPhone 16 series. Although neither of these features has launched yet (both Google and Apple plan on rolling out their multimodal AI assistants later this year), its fair to quickly compare how they stack up against each other, and whether it makes sense to go the Pixel or the iPhone route this smartphone season.On-Device ModelsBoth Google and Apple boast the ability to handle AI queries on the device itself, which means all the AI processing is happening on your phone instead of a server on the cloud. For Pixel phones, this is courtesy Gemini Nano, Googles on-board multimodal AI model, while for Apple, they just call it Apple Intelligence instead of bogging you down with model names and version names. When the phone cant handle a task on-device, it accesses the cloud something common to both Gemini and Apple Intelligence. However, every single thing Gemini does is handled by Googles own AI model, whereas for Apple, some tasks get outsourced to ChatGPT, without logging any private data but more on privacy later. Google benefits from owning the entire stack, whereas Apple benefits from being able to be truly diverse by leaning on ChatGPTs capabilities when it finds itself lacking.MultimodalityThe term multimodality refers to the ability to work across different modes text, video, and audio. Both Gemini and Apple Intelligence are designed to be multimodal. They accept text input, can take voice commands, can analyze audio files, inspect images, and can even search within videos. Its worth noting that while Google and Apple both announced these multimodal capabilities, the final AI assistants are still weeks/months away from launch.Language InputApple Intelligence has only been demonstrated to work in English as of this writing. Googles Gemini, however, holds the edge by accepting 45+ different languages as input.The Gemini Feature QuiltText Generation/RewriteThis might be the simplest yet most effective feature on both platforms, and one youll find yourself using the most. Text generation and rewriting isnt new for Gemini at all, and is available across all of Googles own apps/services regardless of your device. You can prompt Gemini to compose emails, write letters/flyers, and even proofread your documents, either within the Gemini website or across apps like Gmail, Docs, etc. Apple Intelligence offers the same features too (refining, proofreading, rewriting), but these capabilities seem limited only to Apple devices like the iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and Mac desktops. While Apple Intelligences text-generation features are yet to make their debut on Apple devices, Googles Gemini-powered features are already available across all devices regardless of their make.Image GenerationAside from just analyzing images, Gemini and Apple Intelligence have image generation features too, with their own different abilities. The Pixel Studio text-to-image feature was unveiled today, limited to Pixel 9 models only. Type a prompt out and the app creates an image that you can then view variants of, refine by refining the prompt, or even change the style by choosing from a selection of style templates. At WWDC this year, Apple unveiled their Image Playground which has the exact same capabilities. However, the Image Playground offers fewer styles to choose from, staying consciously away from generating realistic images. Googles Pixel Studio can generate photorealistic images, although the company also unveiled tools to detect AI images earlier, which may play a crucial role in minimizing the spread of deepfakes and misinformation.Additionally, Googles Magic Editor (its upgrade to the Magic Eraser) is set to debut on Pixel phones and also see a broader Android (and even iOS) rollout. The feature lets you correct your photo by adjusting parameters like reframing or expanding the composition, or edit parts of your photo by adding GenAI details to them. Google, however, doesnt get Apples GenMoji, or the ability to generate custom emojis based on prompts and context. These custom emojis can be shared on Apples Messages app, but can also be saved as stickers and used on other messaging apps like WhatsApp and Instagram.Live ModeDebuted at Googles Pixel Launch event today, Geminis Live Mode lets you talk to your AI the way you would another person. If you remember ChatGPTs GPT 4o model from not too long ago, thats what the Live Mode lets you do. You can summon the AI and just have a conversation with it, asking it questions, sparring on ideas, or instead collaborating over them. This feature is currently available only in English, and to Gemini Advanced subscribers, which means free users wont be able to tap into the Live Mode feature. Apple Intelligence doesnt have a Live Mode as of now, but you could expect it to drop in the future as soon as the intelligence features actually begin rolling out. Notably, ChatGPT lets you chat with the GPT 4o model for free, but its limited to a few times within a limited time window.Call Record/TranscribeBoth Gemini and Apple Intelligence boast the ability to record and transcribe conversations. Recorded calls get transcribed using on-device AI, and all participants are notified that the call is being recorded. Apple, however, adds transcriptions to the Notes app, while Google lets you view the transcriptions right within the Call Log using a feature called Call Notes.The Apple Intelligence Feature QuiltMemory + ContextWhat good is an AI if it doesnt remember your conversations? Both Gemini and Apple Intelligence allegedly get context very well by understanding what you require, which apps need to be referenced, and also people within your contacts. You can have a steady conversation with both AI models, and theyll remember what youre talking about without constantly needing to be reminded. This is in major contrast to just a few years ago when Voice Assistants only had a limited memory that existed only within that chat command. Now you can reference something from an image taken years ago, or details from an email buried in your inbox, and the AI models will get working without missing a heartbeat. Or at least thats what Apple and Google will have us believe. Were still waiting to see these features roll out on devices, and can only understand their limitations once they do.PrivacyA lot of AI talk is also supplemented by a fair amount of fearmongering. AI replacing humans, AI training itself on your data, and AI going rogue all valid concerns that Google and Apple understand rather well. To that end, a lot of the Pixel 9 Gemini Nano and Apple Intelligences features occur on device, without even connecting to the internet (the Gemini Nano on-device AI is different from the Gemini available on other Android devices). However, when Gemini or Apple Intelligence needs to access an on-cloud version of the AI model, it happens within its own sandbox, without having any data be accessible to any third parties. Notably, Apple also relies on ChatGPT to power some of its AI experiences, although Craig Federighi was quick to mention that ChatGPT doesnt (or cannot) log any data or queries inputted through Apple Intelligence.AvailabilityAs far as availability goes, Googles Gemini Nano model will only be available on Pixel 9 devices, with an official release said to occur weeks from now. While Gemini will be available across all devices, the ability to use Gemini as a personal smartphone assistant is limited only to the latest Pixel 9 range. Apple Intelligence awaits a formal launch too, and will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro series from last year, along with this years iPhone rollout. EU users, unfortunately, will not be able to use Apple Intelligence features on the iPhone following the EUs strict DMA (Digital Markets Act) legislation.Neither Gemini Nano nor Apple Intelligence have an official launch date, but chances are theyll both debut in the weeks/months to come. Apple Intelligence will be free for all users (you can even use the ChatGPT features for free without making an account), and Gemini Nanos core features will be free for Pixel users too. Pixel users also get a 1-year access pass to Gemini Advanced, which can handle more complex tasks, has a larger context window, and allows you to use the Gemini Live Mode.Watch the official videos on Gemini Nano and Apple Intelligence below.The post Google Gemini Nano vs Apple Intelligence: Which AI Assistant is Better? first appeared on Yanko Design.

Mid Century Modern Boucl ChairsVisualizer: Alibek KilibassovBoucle fabric was covering cozy furniture long before it became chic Chanel suits. Eero Saarinen used the looped fabric to create the iconic Womb chair in 48, known for its organic, enveloping form. Now, we have curvy boucl tub chairs to round out our living room furniture arrangements with that touch of texture and glamorous mid-century charisma.10. Mid Century Modern Stone Feature WallsVisualizer: Mohamed SayedMid-century modern stone feature walls create a harmonious indoor-outdoor blend. Freeform in character, these focal walls instill natural beauty and deep texture into a cozy living room decor scheme. In this modern concept, a contemporary concrete fireplace underlines the rugged feature wall, slicing a cool, crisp juxtaposition. You wouldnt have seen a wall-mounted TV back in the day, but they look right at home upon the stone.11. Mid Century Modern Arched Doorways and Design MotifsVisualizer: Aigerim ZhorabekArched doorways were a hallmark of Mid-Century Modern design. Today, arched doorways and arched motifs add elegance and fluidity to an otherwise boxy contemporary interior. Try incorporating this mid-century modern trend into unexpected vignettes, like this distinctive built-in bookcase with its series of small archways. Each arched nook makes a playful frame for books, decorative vases, knick-knacks, and art prints.12.

Balance out a circular accent chair with round biomorphic wall art like this mesmerizing 3D wall sculpture.17. Mid Century Modern Glass Block Feature WallVisualizer: Nataliia RyzhukGlass block feature walls came in during the mid-century modern period but then fell out of favor. Nowadays, theyre making a big comeback in the interior design world, where homes are becoming smaller and homeowners are craving more natural light. The glass block wall allows you to section off a space without sacrificing your light source. A glazed wall also feels far less hemmed in than a solid counterpart, resulting in a small living room that feels bright and airy.18. Graceful Mid Century Modern Living RoomsVisualizer: TRN THY KHUCozy mid century modern living rooms dont have to contain a lot of color or space-age silhouettes.

Mid Century Modern MaterialsPhotographer:Federico CedroneCreate the mid-century look with different materials and textures. To design an eclectic, cozy living room without creating visual overwhelm, partner classic brown leather Barcelona-style chairs with a blue cushioned, wireframe Platner style accent chair. Throw in some cast aluminum tulip-style end tables to grow your mid-century silhouettes, and finish with a chic floor reading lamp. A smooth Serge Mouille-style duckbill lamp would really take your retro space to new heights.22.

Diablo 4 Season 5 is in full swing, but one of its best changes, guaranteed ways to earn greater affix items, wasn't working properly--until the game's most recent hotfix, that is.The current season, dubbed Season of the Infernal Hordes, introduced a new endgame activity of the same name that sees players battling against waves of enemies, all the while selecting boons and banes in between waves that modify gameplay. One of the most-lucrative rewards for this activity is the ability to choose a Greater Equipment Chest as a reward: one that houses an item guaranteed to have at least one greater affix.We have released a new hotfix this morning to address runeshards not dropping in NMDs and the Greater Affix items not being guaranteed in Infernal Horde 60 Aether chests.

Prior to Season 5, finding these rare items was entirely based on luck, making a guaranteed way to obtain them a godsend for min-maxing players.

Elite Dangerous, the spacefaring game from Frontier Developments, has had quite a few updates this year. The latest adds a new starship called the Lakon Type-8 to the roster, only the second to be added to the game in the last five years. I recently took it for a quick test drive, and I think it could breathe a bit of life back into the venerable title. But the update is not without its controversies.The Lakon Type-8 looks more like a forklift than a spaceship, but those big booms out front serve several interesting purposes. For one, they get the nearly 100-meter-long ships maneuvering thrusters further out from the ships center of gravity. That extra length gives you much more control over the rate of speed while maneuvering, an excellent feature since were talking about a ship thats twice as long as an Asp Explorer.The second big perk of those twin booms is aesthetic. While in flight, they allow you to watch the lights of multiple stars play off your ships hull in real time. Thats not something you can do when youre perched in a cockpit stuck to the nose of the ship, as in an Asp Explorer or a Type-9. Meanwhile, even though those booms block the view a bit, the Type-8s massive domed canopy provides an excellent field of view overall, especially when landing. You can even see your forward landing gear extend and lock into place right from inside the cockpit.Stepping outside the ship using the in-game photo mode, you can also see lots of other animations during take-off, landing, and when maneuvering. Cooling vanes and wings extend and lock into position as you depart, while the ships four massive main engines jut out to lock into place, and even vector slightly when turning. All told, theres quite a few bells and whistles on this ugly beast just the thing for avid in-game videographers keen to record their journeys.The Type-8 is billed as a speedy little hauler. The stock boost is also pretty spicy, netting a significant speed boost compared to the Python. And even all kitted out, its still got more than 100 extra tons of cargo room than a Python. It also sports loads of hardpoints for exotic weapons, but that beefy size makes it a challenging choice for combat.So what about exploration? Ive spent more time in the game searching the stars than doing anything else, and I have yet to give up on my beloved Evelynne Christine, the Asp Explorer that I flew to Beagle Point in 2019. A video by longtime Elite Dangerous YouTuber AlsWulf (embedded above) makes the case that the Type-8 can fill the explorer role as well. His stripped-down version with fully-engineered components and a Guardian FSD booster comes close to 60 light years per jump. While thats not quite as far as my Asp will take me, those are some seriously long legs for a cargo ship.Heres the controversial bit: Currently, the Type-8 is only available as a pre-built ship, meaning that youll have to pay a little over $12 in real-world money to fly it in the game. But we expect that in a few months it will be available for purchase using in-game currency just like its nearest predecessor, the Python MK II, which first became available for purchase in May. In a game that originally began its life a decade ago as a $150 closed beta experience, its a relatively small price to pay the developers who have been at it for well over a decade. You can find the Type-8 in its standard configuration for sale on the Elite Dangerous storefront, where it requires the PC client to play.

The new collection from Nicol Morales for Italian brand Paola Lenti starts with the natural resources in the landscape of Caltagirone, Italy, where the master ceramicist lives and works. In ancient times, potters had no means to procure clay on a large scale, and turned to the mountains and rivers that surrounded them. Morales gathers soils and mineral samples from the very same environment, which he then translates into different compositions and textures in clay. Comprising four pieces, the Stelo structure, the Primula table, the Helico table, and the Anemone side table, this collection celebrates the alchemy achieved using expert craftsmanship with found materials.The Stelo, a standing ceramic structure, is made up of independent majolica elements stacked on top of each other to form organic, jaunty columns. These elements are hand painted, and are installed with rubber spacers in between to protect the pieces from damage. This also allows for a smoother fitting process. These elements can be arranged in any manner, up to client preference.The Primula is composed of extruded majolica elements, which create the legs, and a slightly opaque glass top. Reminiscent of limpets and other primeval sea creatures, these components offer different views from the top and the side, adding interest at every angle.Morales is a professional diver, deeply inspired by the aquatic world he is so close with. Much of his work is inspired by the sea or aquatic forms, allowing the artist to play with the intricacies of clay composition and color with each nuanced take. The top of the table is finished with the slightest of opacities and is rounded smooth on all edges, reminding us of sea glass found tumbling naturally onto rocky shores.Helico is our next piece in the collection, the thick glass tabletop hand-finished to create beautiful texture on the underside of the table. This slightly opaque top reveals the forms of the extruded legs, ceramic pieces reminiscent of prehistoric trilobites and shells that dot the ocean floor. The irregularity of the organic shapes within the confines of the clay composition makes for a beautiful originality in the finished pieces. The legs are glued to the top for security, and the feet are capped with rubber to prevent damage.Anemone is a side table like no other, hand sculpted using custom blends of clay from the hillsides of Caltagirone. Layer upon layer of glaze creates ribbons of color running horizontally along organic shapes, filleted softly on the sides. Each color combination is unique, relying on the consistency of the glaze to pull the color organically down the surface of the table.Indeed, all of the glaze combinations are numbered with a color code describing the tone thats inside. Morales is colorblind, working with collaborators to tune the finishes and combinations of clay and chemicals to clients exact specifications. This requires much trial and error, and the artist keeps the experiments in composition to further inform future iterations.To follow Morales work on Instagram, click here.
