Tesla beats Wall Street expectations to produce record number of vehicles
Tesla narrowly beat Wall Street expectations in the second quarter of 2023, marking a solid start to the year as the electric carmaker produced a record number of vehicles. Revenue for the quarter topped $24.97bn compared to analyst predictions of $24.7 bn. The report comes after Tesla slashed costs for its most popular vehicle models and drove a major increase in sales. Earnings were $0.91 a share compared with estimates of $0.79. Investors were closely watching Tesla's gross margins, monitoring if they were negatively impacted by the company's move to decrease consumer prices.

What Chatbot Bloopers Reveal About the Future of AI
What a difference seven days makes in the world of generative AI. Last week Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, was gleefully telling the world that the new AI-infused Bing search engine would "make Google dance" by challenging its long-standing dominance in web search. The new Bing uses a little thing called ChatGPT--you may have heard of it--which represents a significant leap in computers' ability to handle language. Thanks to advances in machine learning, it essentially figured out for itself how to answer all kinds of questions by gobbling up trillions of lines of text, much of it scraped from the web. Google did, in fact, dance to Satya's tune by announcing Bard, its answer to ChatGPT, and promising to use the technology in its own search results.

Using a Language Model in a Kiosk Recommender System at Fast-Food Restaurants
Zubchuk, Eduard, Menshikov, Dmitry, Mikhaylovskiy, Nikolay
Kiosks are a popular self-service option in many fast-food restaurants, they save time for the visitors and save labor for the fast-food chains. In this paper, we propose an effective design of a kiosk shopping cart recommender system that combines a language model as a vectorizer and a neural network-based classifier. The model performs better than other models in offline tests and exhibits performance comparable to the best models in A/B/C tests.

Better AI Stock: Nvidia or Palantir
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) operate in different sectors, but both tech companies are profiting from the secular expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) market. Nvidia's GPUs are often associated with video games, but a growing number of data centers are installing its high-end GPUs to process AI tasks. Palantir's data mining platforms accumulate and process data from disparate sources to help government agencies and big companies make AI-driven decisions. Both companies have generated impressive gains over the past 12 months. Nvidia's stock more than doubled as it continued to sell more gaming and data center GPUs. Palantir's stock soared about 160% as it dazzled investors with its robust revenue growth rates and optimistic long-term targets.

The 3 Best Artificial Intelligence Stocks of 2017
Over the course of the last few years, the world has embarked on a transformation that is the result of artificial intelligence (AI). These changes have come about primarily because of advances in the AI technique of deep learning, which processes mass quantities of information and is able to establish relationships and draw conclusions based on the data. While each of the following three companies represents a distinctly different approach to the AI revolution, they have all benefited enormously by being among the early adopters of this groundbreaking technology. Read on to find out why Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ: ADBE), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) were among the best performing AI stocks of 2017. Adobe is best known for its Portable Document Format (PDF), which is used to create and exchange documents, and its suite of creative software tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

C3ai Is Down 55% This Year. Is Now the Time to Buy?
Few emerging technologies today are as exciting as artificial intelligence. We're witnessing its capabilities applied in new ways, from rapidly analyzing enormous amounts of data to boosting efficiencies in hardware and software. C3.ai (NYSE:AI) is one of the only companies in the world that develops artificial intelligence as a stand-alone service -- put simply, AI is the entirety of its business. Investors have shunned the stock this year as larger technology companies begin to work on artificial intelligence projects, sparking fears of mounting competitive threats. But C3.ai continues to grow revenue, narrow its losses, and it added 82% more customers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 (ended April 30, 2021).
Gaining the Enterprise Edge in AI Products - insideBIGDATA
In this contributed article, Taggart Bonham, Product Manager of Global AI at F5 Networks, discusses last June, OpenAI released GPT-3, their newest text-generating AI model. As seen in the deluge of Twitter demos, GPT-3 works so well that people have generated text-based DevOps pipelines, complex SQL queries, Figma designs, and even code. In the article, Taggart explains how enterprises need to prepare for the AI economy by standardizing their data collection processes across their organizations like GPT-3 so it can then be properly leveraged.
Price Optimization in Fashion E-commerce
Kedia, Sajan, Jain, Samyak, Sharma, Abhishek
With the rapid growth in the fashion e-commerce industry, it is becoming extremely challenging for the E-tailers to set an optimal price point for all the products on the platform. By establishing an optimal price point, they can maximize overall revenue and profit for the platform. In this paper, we propose a novel machine learning and optimization technique to find the optimal price point at an individual product level. It comprises three major components. Firstly, we use a demand prediction model to predict the next day demand for each product at a certain discount percentage. Next step, we use the concept of price elasticity of demand to get the multiple demand values by varying the discount percentage. Thus we obtain multiple price demand pairs for each product and we have to choose one of them for the live platform. Typically fashion e-commerce has millions of products, so there can be many permutations. Each permutation will assign a unique price point for all the products, which will sum up to a unique revenue number. To choose the best permutation which gives maximum revenue, a linear programming optimization technique is used. We have deployed the above methods in the live production environment and conducted several AB tests. According to the AB test result, our model is improving the revenue by 1 percent and gross margin by 0.81 percent.
