How the VFX industry is recovering from last year’s strikes
Jonathan Bronfman, CEO at MARZ, tells us: “I don’t think the industry will ever be the same. It will recover slowly in 2024. The streaming wars cost studios too much money and now they are all reevaluating their strategies.”
He notes that AI will play a big role in how things shake out. “Technology is pushing out the traditional approach, something which is long overdue. Studios in Hollywood have been operating the same way for decades, and now AI will move them off their pedestal.
“The entire industry is in for a reckoning. I think studios would have come to this realisation eventually, so it was inevitable, but I think the pressure from the strikes accelerated this.”

Using Meta’s Llama 3 for your business
Meta is the only Big Tech company committed to developing AI, particularly large language models, with an open-source approach.
There are 3 ways you can use Llama 3 for your business:
1- Llama 3 as a Service
Use Llama 3 from any cloud provider as a service. You pay by use, but the price is typically much cheaper than proprietary models like GPT-4 or Claude.
→ Use Llama 3 on Azure AI catalog:

If you have GPU infrastructure (on-premises or cloud), you can run Llama 3 internally at your desired scale.
→ Deploy Llama 3 on Amazon SageMaker:

Tools like Ollama allow you to run the small model offline on consumer hardware like current MacBooks.

Light-Matter Particle Breakthrough Could Change Displays Forever
https://scitechdaily.com/light-matter-particle-breakthrough-could-change-displays-forever/
This foundational polariton particle breakthrough could lead to significant improvements in displays using an entirely novel approach compared to all previous ones. One significant difference is the ability of each polaritron to emit any wavelength, eliminating the need for separate red, green and blue (RGB) emitters intermixed in a grid. They are also able the achieve significantly greater energy levels, in other words, brightness.
