The artificial intelligence (AI) landscape is buzzing on the back of technology advancements that are sending chatter to all-time highs.
LikeFolio’s social media engine is logging a 39% increase in AI mentions year over year – and a 14,000% surge on a two-year stack.
Read that again: +14,000%. Consumer conversations around AI have exploded by 14,000% since 2022.
Two major announcements have captivated consumers this week:
No. 1: Google’s Launch of Gemini 1.5
Alphabet (GOOGL) unveiled Gemini 1.5, a massive leap forward in AI model development. This next-generation model boasts significant advancements in performance and efficiency, thanks to its new Mixture-of-Experts architecture.
Notably, Gemini 1.5 introduces an experimental capability for long-context understanding, capable of processing up to 1 million tokens. This feature, the longest context window for any large-scale foundation model to date, opens new doors for AI applications and capabilities.
While initially available in a limited preview, Google plans broader rollout and future optimizations.
You can see Gemini overtaking mentions of AI tools from other brands like Microsoft’s (MSFT) Copilot and Adobe’s (ADBE) Firefly.
No. 2: OpenAI’s Introduction of Sora
Alongside Google, OpenAI has made waves with the release of Sora, a text-to-video model that stands out for its ability to generate realistic, complex videos.
Sora’s introduction marks a significant step forward in the AI video generation space, promising detailed scenes and character incorporation that surpass current offerings by competitors like Meta Platforms (META) and Google’s ongoing projects.
The examples are insane.
These innovations not only showcase the rapid development within the AI field but also highlight the growing consumer interest.
With companies like Microsoft, Adobe, and Google pushing the envelope with AI features, the initial consumer response, especially towards Google’s Gemini, has been overwhelmingly positive.
Welcome to the Next Surge in AI Profits
As we track the momentum of these developments, the future of AI appears more vibrant and promising than ever.
We can tell you firsthand what this amazing technology is capable of because AI is supercharging our own proprietary stock-picking device – the Social Heat Score.
Basically, what it does is harness AI to analyze hundreds of millions of individual data points on a given company – from brand mentions on social media to web traffic patterns to stock price movements – and distills it all into a single 0 to 100 score that tells us whether that stock is a buy or a sell.
This thing works with remarkable accuracy. And I’ll give you proof.
It tipped us off that Coinbase (COIN) was a buy last May – assigning COIN a Social Heat Score of 89 when shares were trading at just $57. Fast forward to today, COIN hit a 52-week high of $193.64, and our position is now up 237%.
The Social Heat Score identified The Trade Desk (TTD) in December 2022 before it, too, hit a 52-week high today – delivering a 100% win.
Oh, and DraftKings (DKNG), yet another stock the Social Heat Score picked up on early at less than $12 a share, believe it or not, just hit its own 52-week high today of $45.62 – for a 293% gain.
Look, I won’t mince words. The next phase of AI investing is unfolding as we speak, and investors who don’t secure an edge in this market WILL get left behind.
The Social Heat Score is our edge. And it can be yours too.
See for yourself what the Social Heat Score is capable of right here.
Until next time,
