What’s poppin, fellas! Today we’re diving into some powerhouse AI moves. Shopify’s stock is soaring on killer Q3 results, with new AI tools keeping merchants hooked. Meanwhile, GitHub’s stepping up with a turbocharged Copilot, adding models from Anthropic and Google. But it’s not all smooth sailing—OpenAI’s new Orion model faces diminishing returns, showing even AI giants hit bumps. It’s clear: AI’s making waves and rewriting the playbook in real-time. Let’s break it down!

GitHub Goes All In: Copilot Sparks A Power-Up

GitHub’s packing heat with two new upgrades: Copilot’s getting a multi-model boost, and they’re dropping ‘Spark’—a slick platform for building web apps just by talking to it. They’re roping in Anthropic and Google models to join OpenAI, giving developers more firepower. And with Copilot now popping up in Apple’s Xcode, this is GitHub’s biggest play yet in the AI game. Each model’s got its own set of tricks, so devs can finally pick the right muscle for the right job.

OpenAI’s Orion: All Guns, Less Glory 

So OpenAI’s got a new toy called Orion, but it’s not packing the same punch as before. It’s training hard but only matching GPT-4 at 20% completion. After that, it’s kinda like, ‘Where’s the firepower?’ The jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4? That was a big one. But from 4 to 5? Not so much. Investors dumped $6.6 billion into OpenAI, so they better show results. Thing is, the AI biz is hitting limits on training data. So, looks like OpenAI’s gotta play smart, not hard, or risk future bankroll drying up.

Shopify’s Q3 Knockout: Big Gains, Bigger Hopes

Shopify just blew Q3 outta the water, raking in $2.16 billion—a 26% boost from last year. They’re pulling in merchants thanks to new AI sidekicks like ‘Sidekick’ and ‘Shopify Magic,’ tools that do the grunt work and help stores run smoother. Stock’s up 23% today and climbing, and with holiday sales coming, Q4’s looking even better. Investors? They’re eating this up. Shopify’s still got a way to go to hit those 2021 highs, but it’s making moves.

The Tommy Vee Take

AI’s on fire, and the stakes are only getting higher. Shopify’s riding the wave, but even OpenAI’s latest model is hitting some rough patches. The question is: who’s going to stay ahead when the dust settles? Keep your eyes peeled, fellas—this tech race is far from over, and you won’t want to miss the next curve-ball. Until next time, keep pushing the envelope and remember: in AI, if you’re not evolving, you’re being left behind.

Stay ahead, stay sharp, and maybe—just maybe—keep your job! Until next time, fellas. This is Tommy Vee, signing off!
