My insights on @abc7newsbayarea regarding today's big @Apple #WWDC24 announcements...lots to unpack here, but give @Apple lots of credit for its thoughtful approach to implement #AI in a #responsible, understandable and #privacy focused manner...I was impressed @Qualcomm @HP @Dell @Lenovo @ABCNews @Intel @AMD @Microsoft

@Apple finally folds. But does the iPhone Duo deliver enough to justify the compromises?

In my latest SmartTechCheck newsletter, I explore where Apple’s first foldable impresses and where it leaves room for improvement. Read my take and subscribe for more independent technology analysis.

@SynaCorp has an AI story to tell. Its latest earnings leave questions unanswered.

Revenue rose just 1%, with management citing supply constraints, memory-related demand issues, and smartphone softness. The pending onsemi acquisition means no earnings call or financial outlook, leaving little room to probe those explanations.

Temporary turbulence or deeper business pressure? My SmartTech Research take: the jury is still out.

@NVIDIA isn't just building AI models. It's building the foundation for the next era of computing, and the implications for the entire AI industry are enormous.

In my latest SmartTech Research News of The Day deep dive, I unpack NVIDIA's exclusive analyst briefing on its aggressive open foundation model strategy, spanning agentic AI, robotics, autonomous driving, life sciences, weather forecasting, and quantum computing.

From Nemotron and Cosmos to GR00T and Alpamayo, NVIDIA's playbook is becoming crystal clear: Make the models open, empower developers, accelerate enterprise adoption, and drive demand for its entire computing ecosystem.

With partners like Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, Uber, Dassault Systèmes, and Eli Lilly already building on its technologies, this isn't simply a roadmap. It's a potentially massive competitive moat.

My take? NVIDIA's biggest strategic advantage may ultimately be less about the GPUs it sells and more about the AI infrastructure it makes indispensable.

Watch my deep dive to understand why NVIDIA is playing the long game.
