SAM YEH via Getty Images It's hard to find a company that had a better 2024 than NVIDIA. Even after some choppiness in recent weeks, the chip giant's stock price finished last year up 178 percent, and its market cap of more than $3.3 trillion dollars with a T is currently second only to Apple. That's thanks to the fact that the ongoing AI revolution is powered largely by NVIDIA processors, which is raking in billions on its hardware even as its customers stay firmly in the red. So what does founder and CEO Jensen Huang do for an encore? It's a great question, but we won't have to wait long for an answer. Huang is kicking off CES 2025 in Las Vegas with the first keynote address. He'll be taking the stage at the Mandalay Bay on Monday, January 8 at 9:30PM ET and you can watch his remarks live right here. What to expect at NVIDIA's CES 2025 press conference In addition to plenty of AI-centric partnerships and services, NVIDIA had a PC gamer-friendly slate of announcements at its CES 2024 press conference, with new RTX 40 Super GPU cards and upgrades to its GeForce Now game streaming platform. For 2025, look for the inevitable sequels, with rumors suggesting a blazing fast RTX 5090 for starters. Of course, Wall Street will be more focused on the details Huang will undoubtedly share on the status of NVIDIA's AI hardware. We're likely to hear more news on the company's Blackwell AI chips, which should begin shipping in greater volume this year after first entering the market in late 2024.

Hisense unveiled its latest L9 series laser TV the L9Q at CES 2025. The television (an ultra-short-throw laser projector paired with a screen) comes with one of five screen sizes, ranging from 100 to 150 inches. The L9Q is the first in the series with auto screen alignment to ease the transition when you project it onto a different-sized screen. The L9Q uses a proprietary Hisense triple-laser light engine, which helps the TV reach 110 percent of the BT.2020 (aka Rec. 2020) color space a good omen for lifelike colors that pop. This model also boosts the brightness from previous models, reaching up to 5,000 lumens and a 5,000:1 contrast ratio. The laser projectors paired ambient light rejection (ALR) screen comes in five sizes: 100, 110, 120, 136 and 150 inches. (ALR screens tend to have better contrast and viewing angles in brightly lit environments.) In addition to auto screen alignment, the projector has manual keystone correction to adjust for any proportional irregularities in the image. Hisense says the L9Q is the first laser TV with a 6.2.2 surround sound system. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual X and eARC audio technologies. The projector has a sleek black walnut décor panel with brushed metal finishes. It has HDMI 2.1 and supports Wi-Fi 6E and NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) for broadcast channels. It runs Google TV and can be controlled by Google Assistant, Alexa and Apple HomeKit. Hisense hasnt yet shared a launch date or pricing info. But for the uninitiated, premium laser TVs like this dont come cheap typically retailing for at least several thousand dollars.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/home/home-theater/hisenses-new-laser-tv-projector-boosts-the-brightness-and-contrast-172431429.html?src=rss

Anthropic has partly resolved a legal disagreement that saw the AI startup draw the ire of the music industry. In October 2023, a group of music publishers, including Universal Music and ABKCO, filed a copyright infringement complaint against Anthropic. The group alleged that the company had trained its Claude AI model on at least 500 songs to which they held rights and that, when promoted, Claude could reproduce the lyrics of those tracks either partially or in full. Among the song lyrics the publishers said Anthropic had infringed on included Beyoncés Halo and Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5. In a court-approved stipulation the two sides came to on Thursday, Anthropic agreed to maintain its existing guardrails against outputs that reproduce, distribute or display copyright material owned by the publishers and implement those same measures when training its future AI models. At the same time, the company said it would respond expeditiously to any copyright concerns from the group and promised to provide written responses detailing how and when it plans to address their concerns. In cases where the company intends not to address an issue, it must clearly state its intent to do so. Claude isnt designed to be used for copyright infringement, and we have numerous processes in place designed to prevent such infringement," an Anthropic spokesperson told Engadget. "Our decision to enter into this stipulation is consistent with those priorities. We continue to look forward to showing that, consistent with existing copyright law, using potentially copyrighted material in the training of generative AI models is a quintessential fair use." As mentioned, Thursdays pact doesnt fully resolve the original disagreement between Anthropic and the group of music publishers that sued the company. The latter party is still seeking an injunction against Anthropic to prevent it from using unauthorized copies of song lyrics to train future AI models. A ruling on that matter could arrive sometime in the next few months.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/anthropic-agrees-to-work-with-music-publishers-to-prevent-copyright-infringement-154742806.html?src=rss
