Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsTabletSamsung Galaxy’s AI Feature Likely to Become Chargeable Soon!
The South Korean company, once the world leader in smartphone sales, has officially unveiled its Galaxy S24 series. These flagship smartphones will be the first from the company to feature the new Samsung Galaxy AI functions. However, as the fine print reveals, these functions are likely not to be permanently free, but instead available on a subscription basis.
Don’t miss out: The Samsung Galaxy AI in the first test
Will the Samsung Galaxy AI be chargeable?
Samsung devoted significant time to showcasing the new Galaxy AI at the Galaxy Unpacked event, in collaboration with Google. This artificial intelligence seems to work, at least partially, with the Google Large Language Model (LLM) Gemini Nano.
One of the many impressive AI functions presented was ‘Circle to Search’, which initiates an internet search by circling, tightening, or tapping on an object in an image, browser, or other document.
However, the small print on the Galaxy AI product page states that the functions—at least some of them—could be subject to a charge from 2026.
Galaxy AI functions will be provided free of charge on supported Samsung Galaxy devices until the end of 2025. Different conditions may apply for AI functions provided by third parties.
Samsung has not yet responded to inquiries from 9to5Google, which can be indirectly interpreted as confirmation of a possible subscription model. Overall, too much is uncertain about this forecast, so we will have to wait and see to what extent which services will actually be charged for.
Microsoft and OpenAI, for example, offer the chatbot ChatGPT from version 4.0 as a paid subscription model. In the long or short term, we will probably have to get used to the fact that such services also cost something to pay for themselves.
What do you think of the possibility that Samsung will offer special AI functions as a subscription model? Would you be willing to pay for certain services? Write us your opinion in the comments below and let’s discuss the topic.
