BEAVR BYTES: 10/31/23 Edition
Porsche's dive into Google-driven tech, Australia's holographic revolution led by Hologram Zoo, Berkeley's breakthrough with memGPT and Beavr Labs' upcoming trip!
Happy Halloween readers! Another week, another dive into the world of tech with your trusted guide, Beavr Bytes 💪🏽 We're fresh and ready with hand-picked updates and insights from the ever-evolving digital landscape. Whether it's our own company updates or the industry's most innovative trends, we'll get you up to speed.
🚗 Porsche x Google 🚗
In an exciting shift, Porsche is steering its digital course right into Google's lane. The iconic automaker has unveiled plans to infuse their future rides with native Google apps – think Maps and Assistant for your next drive! This move isn't just about a luxurious in-car experience; it's a reflection of the evolving tech landscape in the automobile industry.
Porsche's pivot mirrors a broader digital trend, lead by auto giants like Honda, GM, and Volvo already embracing Google’s tech. Although the specifics are under wraps, we're on the edge of our seats, waiting to see which Porsche models will debut this new integration.
🦍 Holographic Breakthroughs 🦍
Australia's Hologram Zoo is reshaping entertainment with its 50 laser-created lifelike shows, offering glimpses of dinosaurs, gorillas, and a breathtaking 30-meter whale. Beyond entertainment, the technology behind this attraction boasts wider applications; Bruce Dell, the mind behind Hologram Zoo, has now partnered with heavyweights like Honeywell and Airbus as well. Simultaneously, innovations at the Australian National University could soon revolutionize medical diagnostics and theater productions. As costs drop and technology matures, we may stand on the brink of a holographic revolution.
🤖 MemGPT 🤖
Similar to Beavr’s personal endeavors with BrainGPT, Berkeley researchers are introducing memGPT to the LLM arena. This new innovation equips LLMs with a structured memory hierarchy, allowing them to retrieve and store information more efficiently. Picture ChatGPT, but now with the ability to reference past interactions and maintain contextual understanding over extended conversations! This is more than just an upgrade; it signifies a pivotal evolution in how AI understands and communicates with us.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for our Founder Frenzy event last Wednesday. The night was bustling with innovation, collaboration, engaging discussions, and most importantly, good vibes. While we'll be taking a brief pause on hosting events, it's for an exciting reason: the Beavr Team is heading to Portugal for Web Summit! We'll resume our events upon our return, but in the meantime, we invite you to follow our tech adventures in Lisbon via our social media channels. We're super looking forward to sharing this journey with you!
