“Begun, the clone wars have” — Microsoft 365 apps have been copied by the AI dev who cloned the Adobe suite

Developer Brandon Thomas is creating open-source alternatives to Microsoft’s applications—Word, Excel, and PowerPoint—using artificial intelligence. His suite includes GridCraft (Excel clone), DeckCraft (PowerPoint clone), and WordCraft (Word clone), all powered by the Claude AI model and available for free download on the ArtCraft GitHub page. These applications mimic the functionality and design of Microsoft 365, challenging the necessity of expensive subscriptions for productivity tools. Thomas has previously replicated the Adobe suite and aims to provide competitive alternatives to established software giants.

Jensen Huang remembers Windows early days, crediting Microsoft, says that ‘Nvidia was founded because of Windows’; CEO Satya Nadella jokes: If you could just do a little transfer of…

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that Nvidia was founded due to the introduction of Windows 3.1 in 1992, which laid the groundwork for GPUs. He highlighted that Windows 95 and DirectX allowed for the integration of GPUs into PCs, with DirectX 8 enabling the creation of the first programmable GPU featuring programmable shaders, leading to CUDA. Huang emphasized that without Windows, there would be no GeForce, and consequently, AI researchers might not have had the necessary computational resources for deep learning. The conversation also touched on a four-year collaboration between Nvidia and Microsoft that resulted in the RTX Spark project, which required over 4,000 engineering years and extensive testing across more than 1,200 applications. Laptops featuring RTX Spark are available for preorder, with shipments starting on October 16.

Google Acknowledges Day 1 Android App Performance Issues on New Laptops

Google's newly launched Intel-based Googlebooks may have compatibility issues with certain Android applications, as some apps designed for Arm chips might require developer adjustments to function optimally. The affected models include three produced by Lenovo, Acer, and Asus, which use Intel's Panther Lake architecture. In contrast, the two models from Dell and HP utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips and are expected to run all Play Store apps without issues. Performance challenges are anticipated due to the incompatibility of Intel silicon with Android software. The initial wave of Googlebooks is available for purchase, with prices starting at 9 for the Acer model. Each device includes a year of Google AI Pro, Nvidia’s GeForce Now, three months of YouTube Premium, and Adobe Photoshop.
