● ThrowForward Thursday – LAMs: Large ACTION Models and the future of smartphones
The era of conversational AI is upon us, and it’s not just about chatting anymore. ChatGPT, CoPilot, Llama, Bard, Grok, and their counterparts have laid the groundwork, showing us the power of natural language interaction with technology. But now, it’s time to take it a step further.
