#OpenAI brings ChatGPT to phones - and not just smartphones.
Now, if you need help and are in the US, you can call the AI assistant at 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478). It uses the same technology as the Advanced Voice Mode feature. Users who prefer text or who are in other countries can chat with it using WhatsApp.
This version has a daily conversation limit. Users will be notified once they are about to reach it, at which point they should continue in the ChatGPT app or on the website. Additionally, custom instructions aren't supported.

#Galaxy Unpacked is coming - and now we know when.
Evan Blass, also known as evleaks, shared the teaser for next year's Galaxy Unpacked event. The date was revealed - the event will take place on January 22.
The teaser shows a blue star formed by 4 phones. The star is likely hinting at Galaxy AI, as Bixby is rumored to get a major upgrade next year. The phones, however, reveal a more interesting detail.
The phones are likely the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Three of them are likely the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra. The fourth might be the rumored Galaxy S25 Slim (or Galaxy S25 Special Edition), a new high-end flagship. It is rumored to have a 6.6-inch display, a 200MP primary camera and a battery between 4700mAh and 5000mAh.
Alongside it, Samsung will likely tease Project Moohan, its virtual reality headset powered by Android XR.

Happy new year!
Time does fly fast - this year, there were many major tech announcements. Google came back to virtual and augmented reality, ready to compete with Meta who brought AR glasses to the next level with its Orion prototype. OpenAI released its first reasoning model, while Apple announced AI features in iOS. HMD offered a refreshing take on smartphones with HMD Skyline. And of course, we can't forget the CrowdStrike incident from July and the potential acquisition of Intel.
Meanwhile, we improved our post format, with more event recaps, alongside a shift in content. And next year, Technodroid turns 5 years old.
Wishing all of our subscribers a happy and prosperous 2025, filled with impressive new tech.

Small but mighty: meet NVIDIA's personal AI supercomputer.
The computer, called "Project DIGITS", has a custom built chip that contains a 1 petaflop Nvidia Blackwell GPU and an Arm CPU. A single computer can run models with 200 billion parameters, while two connected units can run models with 405 billion parameters. For example, this is the size of the largest variant of Meta's Llama language model, its alternative to ChatGPT.
Project DIGITS has 128GB of RAM and up to 4TB of storage. It runs NVIDIA's Linux-based DGX OS, which comes with popular AI developer tools like the NeMo framework.
Project DIGITS starts at $3000 and will be available in May.
