Welcome to todayβs SMMRY. The key highlights:
Arm shares soared 29% yesterday, extending last week's rally as investors continue to applaud the chipmaker's 'better-than-expected' third-quarter earnings and its position in the artificial intelligence boom. The company also said it was breaking into new markets, such as cloud servers and automotive, due to AI demand.
Beeper Mini promised a more convenient way for Android phone users to use iMessage as a blue bubble. Unfortunately, Apple clamped down on the solution and effectively killed it. Now, FCC commissioner Brendan Carr has called on the FCC to investigate Apple for this crackdown.
Brilliant Labs has introduced the Frame AI glasses, which can translate languages, identify images, search the internet for information all through the power of augmented reality and artificial intelligence. The Frame comes with a special AI assistant called Noa, which uses different large language models to find the best answer to any question you ask.

There's also now a paid tier for Google's generative AI engine for the first time, which means another digital subscription for you to weigh up. But should you upgrade?
