Hello tech enthusiasts! Buckle up because we have some exciting updates brewing in the world of artificial intelligence.

This week, we’re diving into OpenAI’s groundbreaking new model, GPT-4.5, which they’ve affectionately code-named Orion. This is not just any update; it’s their largest model yet, boasting massive computing power and data.

But hold your horses! With such demand, OpenAI has hit a snag and is reportedly out of GPUs, leading to a staggered rollout of GPT-4.5. For those itching to get their hands on it, subscribers of the ChatGPT Pro plan are in luck, with access as part of a research preview!

In other news, the tech scene is buzzing with controversy surrounding a demo from Y Combinator’s Optifye.ai. Their ambitious AI software, which aims to monitor factory workers in real-time, faced intense criticism, leading to Y Combinator deleting posts related to it. It seems that the line between innovation and ethical implications is ever so thin.

Amazon isn’t sitting idle either. They have unleashed a revamped version of Alexa called Alexa+. Priced competitively at $19.99 per month but free for Prime members, this upgrade is set to redefine your digital assistant experience.

Lastly, let’s not forget the latest closure of Skype by Microsoft, marking an end of an era. Users must transition by May 5 or risk losing their data!

This wraps up our tech roundup — remember to stay curious and keep exploring the endless possibilities in technology!
