🥟 Chao-Down #139 Google brings generative AI to Assistant, Amazon forms new team to work on its most ambitious models, PC maker Dell goes all-in on GenAI

A quiet move that Google made recently was removing the AI Test Kitchen app from Android and iOS.

Originally meant to be an app to allow people to beta test some of the latest AI features across Google products, its delisting signals that Google might want to keep some of their latest AI tech behind closed doors.

It’s an interesting move and another indicator that the competition in AI among the tech giants is heating up.
