Samsung has unveiled its own generative AI model, known as Samsung Gauss. The ChatGPT rival has been developed by the company’s research division, and is named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, a pioneer of AI and machine learning.

The new tool will consist of three distinct elements:

Samsung Gauss Language
Samsung Gauss Code
Samsung Gauss Image

Gauss Language is a large language model that functions much like ChatGPT. The tool can understand human language and answer questions while also helping users write and edit emails, translate languages, and summarize text documents. Samsung plans to incorporate Gauss Language into its range of smartphones, tablets, and laptops to increase productivity.

Gauss Code is a tool that will help developers to write code more quickly. Samsung explained that the AI model will support “code description and test case generation through an interactive interface”.

Gauss Image, as the name suggests, is an image generation and editing tool that can also be used for tasks such as creating high-resolution images from older, low-resolution copies.

Samsung has revealed that Gauss is already being used internally by staff and will be available to public users “in the near future”. In addition, the tech company has created an AI Red Team to monitor potential AI security, privacy, and ethical issues.

“We will continue to support and collaborate with the industry and academia on generative AI research,” said Daehyun Kim, executive vice president of the Samsung Research Global AI Center, at the AI forum.

Samsung’s generative AI announcement comes seven months after the company issued a temporary ban on the tools for company-owned devices — including ChatGPT and Google Bard — after a serious internal data leak earlier in 2023.

Truecaller has rolled out a major update for iPhone users, introducing API support that brings real-time caller identification and automatic spam blocking. The upgrade aims to bring the iOS version of the app closer to its Android counterpart, which has long offered these advanced call-screening features.

The latest update integrates with Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework, launched with iOS 18 last year. The technology allows third-party apps to cross-check incoming calls against a database of known spam numbers in real-time. Importantly, the process employs “homomorphic encryption,” ensuring user privacy by masking the caller’s number, concealing the client’s IP address, and using anonymous authentication.

With this update, Truecaller has also introduced global automatic spam call blocking for iPhones. However, the real-time caller ID feature is being released gradually and is available only to Truecaller Premium subscribers on iPhones running iOS 18.2 or later. Free users will still have access to ad-supported features, such as manual number searches and caller identification for verified businesses.

How To Enable The New Features

To activate the new features, follow these steps:

Update the Truecaller app to version 14.0 or newer via the App Store.
Go to Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification on your iPhone.
Turn on all Truecaller toggles, then restart the app.

While these features are new to iOS, Truecaller has hinted at this update for months. Following Apple’s iOS 18 update and the introduction of its Live Caller ID API last September, Truecaller Co-founder Alan Mamedi shared his excitement on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Truecaller finally works on iPhone”.

The global rollout of spam call blocking is already live, but users may need to wait for gradual access to the live caller ID feature.
