Samsung’s Galaxy AI represents a comprehensive suite of artificial intelligence features integrated across Samsung’s mobile devices, offering various tools for communication, productivity, and creative tasks.

Core functionality: Galaxy AI introduces eight distinct features that enhance everyday smartphone usage through artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.

  • Call Assist enables real-time translation during phone calls through an on-device processing system
  • Chat Assist provides translation services, text generation, and writing improvements directly through the Samsung keyboard
  • Interpreter facilitates live translation for face-to-face conversations, with the ability to save recordings
  • Note Assist transforms the Samsung Notes app with formatting, summarization, and translation capabilities

Advanced capabilities: Galaxy AI extends beyond basic productivity to include creative and browsing enhancements that leverage artificial intelligence.

  • The Voice Recorder app now includes Transcript Assist for automatic transcription and summarization
  • Browsing Assist helps users better understand web content through summarization and translation features
  • Photo Assist introduces generative editing capabilities for manipulating images
  • Drawing Assist allows users to create animated stickers from simple drawings

Technical implementation: Samsung’s artificial intelligence system combines local and cloud-based processing to ensure both privacy and performance.

  • The system is powered by Samsung’s proprietary Gauss large language model (LLM)
  • Processing occurs through a hybrid approach of on-device and cloud computing
  • Advanced techniques like knowledge distillation and quantization optimize performance

Device compatibility: The AI features are being rolled out across Samsung’s premium device lineup with potential expansion to mid-range devices.

  • Currently available on the Galaxy S24 series
  • Planned support for S23 series, S22/S22+, Z Flip 6/5, and Z Fold 6/5
  • Rumors suggest select Galaxy A series devices may receive some features

User control and accessibility: Samsung has implemented straightforward controls for managing AI features while maintaining user privacy.

  • Features can be individually enabled or disabled through the Settings menu
  • Each tool is accessible through intuitive interfaces within their respective apps
  • No master switch exists for controlling all AI features simultaneously

Future implications: While Samsung’s Galaxy AI represents a significant step forward in mobile AI integration, its success will likely depend on real-world performance and user adoption, particularly as competitors continue to develop their own AI solutions.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment

The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
