Perhaps the main reason many are hesitant to use generative AI is the unpredictability of the output, but custom models might just change that. And now they're available in public beta.

Amazon announced on Tuesday that it’s making it easier for users to find products eligible for its 1-hour and 3- hour delivery options with a new “getitfast” page for same-day delivery products available in their area. Amazon is also introducing new search filters for 1-hour and 3-hour delivery, along with tags on eligible products — which could be convenient, but could also do even more to squeeze out local businesses if this becomes a popular option.

Unlimited Google Photos storage was the biggest selling point of what quickly became the most popular photo storage service, but as it became hard to sustain with scale, Google pulled the plug.

Australian collaborationware company Atlassian has announced it will shed ten percent of staff – around 1,600 people. “It would be disingenuous to pretend AI doesn’t change the mix of skills we need or the number of roles required in certain areas. It does,” wrote CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes. “This is primarily about adaptation. We are reshaping our skill mix and changing how we work to build for the future.”
