Final Fantasy-utvecklaren: Konsoler kommer vara utdöda inom loppet av tio år

Att blicka in i kristallkulan och försöka förutspå branschens framtid är något som många försöker sig på, och nu har Naoki Yoshida, en av veteranerna hos Square Enix, också delat med sig av sina tankar. Den nu 50-årige producenten har trots allt hängt med ett tag och enligt honom kommer konsoler i dess nuvarande form försvinna inom loppet av tio år. Istället är det molnbaserade lösningar som kommer att ta över, och spelen kommer att strömmas till användare världen över. Tech som så klart redan finns idag men som över de kommande åren tveklöst kommer att både förfinas och förbättras avsevärt. Något som Yoshida ser väldigt mycket fram emot, och som i hans tycke egentligen redan borde ha skett

Google’s Gemini Is the Real Start of the Generative AI Boom

Google’s release of Gemini, claimed to be a fundamentally new kind of AI model and the company’s most powerful to date. In fact, although the 12 months since ChatGPT launched have been a banner year for AI, there is good reason to think that the current AI boom is only getting started. Google had already rushed out a direct response to ChatGPT in the form of Bard earlier this year, finally launching LLM chatbot technology that it had developed earlier than OpenAI but chosen to keep private. With Gemini it claims to have opened a new era that goes beyond LLMs primarily anchored to text—potentially setting the stage for a new round of AI products significantly different from those enabled by ChatGPT.

The EU has launched a €1.2 billion cloud project to crack US dominance

The EU has approved state aid of up to €1.2 billion for a cloud and edge computing project across Europe in a bid to compete more effectively with the US. The scheme, called IPCEI Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI CIS), has been backed by France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, and is aimed at creating the first interoperable and openly accessible European data processing ecosystem. "The IPCEI will provide for highly ambitious research, necessary to enable the uptake of innovative data processing applications and services for European businesses, public administrations, and citizens." The plan is to develop open source software that will allow for real-time and low-latency services, EU lawmakers said, with individual projects covering the entire cloud edge continuum, from the basic software layer to sector-specific applications.

Gartner Forecasts Worldwide Public Cloud End-User Spending to Reach $679 Billion in 2024

Worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to total $678.8 billion in 2024, up from $563.6 billion in 2023, according to the latest forecast from Gartner, Inc. “Cloud has become essentially indispensable,” said Sid Nag, Vice President Analyst at Gartner. “However, that doesn’t mean cloud innovation can stop or even slow. The tables are turning for cloud providers as cloud models no longer drive business outcomes, but rather, business outcomes shape cloud models.” “For example, organizations deploying generative AI (GenAI) services will look to the public cloud, given the scale of the infrastructure required,” said Nag. “However, to deploy GenAI effectively, these organizations will require cloud providers to address nontechnical issues related to cost, economics, sovereignty, privacy and sustainability. Hyperscalers that support these needs will be able to capture a brand-new revenue opportunity as GenAI adoption grows.”
