Microsoft will soon showcase the new Prometheus AI in Word, PowerPoint and Outlook
Microsoft is gearing up to demonstrate how new AI will change Office applications. This system is called Prometheus (the same one used by Bing).
Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans told The Verge that the company is preparing to show Prometheus soon, in the coming weeks. According to the company itself, this will happen in March. Microsoft noted that they want to improve the performance and quality of the search and the Office suite.
Language models have already been tested in Outlook to improve search quality and teach the system to respond to emails. It uses Azure OpenAI Service and GPT. It looks like the same is expected in other applications.
In addition, the source claims that AI will be added to Teams, and in the web versions of Office applications, the Prometheus model is already available through the Bing sidebar in the Microsoft Edge browser. For example, with the help of AI it is already possible to generate tables and charts for Excel and presentations for PowerPoint.
Thus, in the coming weeks, we can expect an avalanche-like growth in the number of applications with AI “on board”. One of them will soon be the Opera browser.

Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption
Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.
The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.
Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.

Realme GT Neo5 SE on Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 tested in AnTuTu. The result is like recent flagships
Qualcomm officially unveiled mid-range Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 single-chip system a few days ago, and already one of the first production models based on this SoC – Realme GT Neo5 SE – has been spotted in the AnTuTu benchmark.
The result is impressive. Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 is not a top platform at all, but a phone based on it has broken the mark of 1 million points. Until recently, only flagships were capable of this. For comparison, this is the level of the Dimensity 9000 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platforms.
As for the specifications of the Realme GT Neo5 SE, it has 16 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, 1 TB (!) of UFS 3.1 memory and Android 13 out of the box. This smartphone will go on sale on April 3rd.
Electric Cars
Truck “Ural” tried on a hybrid power plant. The company showed its first such prototype and set its sights on an all-electric version.
The Ural Automobile Plant demonstrated its first prototype of an electric truck equipped with a hybrid power plant.
A car with a 4×2 wheel formula is still called simply “Ural”. It is powered by an LNG engine that is used as a generator to charge a battery, which in turn powers an electric motor. At the moment, it is known that the power reserve is only 100 km, but in this case, we mean the ability of a car to drive such a distance solely due to the battery. Since the car is also equipped with an internal combustion engine, as a result, in general, the power reserve is quite worthy of 500 km.
The company is reportedly planning to develop an all-electric truck and then a hydrogen fuel cell version. But so far we are only talking about prototypes, but there is no data on serial machines with similar power plants.
