The highly renowned Galaxy S21 series, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3, will soon get the much awaited One UI 6.1 update. This version is expected to greatly enhance the user experience, with a plethora of new features and enhancements tailored to meet evolving consumer needs. In addition, One UI 6.1 promises improvements in terms of performance, functionality, and customization choices, all of which contribute to a smooth and user-friendly interface that enables users to get the most out of their experience and maximize their productivity. The One UI 6.1 upgrade is planned for the Galaxy S21 series in addition to the company’s foldable phones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3. These three phones will only receive support for the first two of the new Galaxy AI features, in contrast to more recent models from South Korean smartphone manufacturers. Samsung has been rolling out One UI 6.1, which offers up to ten AI-powered features, to Galaxy Z and S series phones over the past few months.

Through the end of 2025, Galaxy AI Functions will be Available for Free

The company said on Friday that users of the Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be able to use Circle for Search and Chat Assistance. The company’s announcement also states in a footnote that Galaxy AI functions will be accessible “for free until the end of 2025”; this is the same statement that was posted on the company’s website when the Galaxy S24 series was introduced earlier this year. The Circle to Search function, currently exclusive to Samsung and Google smartphones, will be available to owners of Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 3 smartphones with the One UI 6.1 update. Using the navigation pill, users can perform a visual lookup by drawing on, scribbling, or highlighting a section of the screen, all without ever leaving the program they are using.

It’s official: Samsung won’t Update these older Phones with any more Galaxy AI Capabilities

In addition, Chat Assist—an additional AI feature that translates incoming or outgoing messages seamlessly—will be available on all three phones. This feature will help users compose communications in many languages. As per Samsung, this feature is designed to work with other applications as well, so users won’t have to open a translation app in order to communicate another user. Chat Assist, according to the business, can also help users change the tone of their messages. With its statement that it will update the Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung has stated that it will not be introducing its other Galaxy AI features to these older phones. The AI features that won’t be upgraded are: interpreter, live translation, note assistance, transcript assistance, browsing assistance, generative edit, edit suggestion, and AI-generated wallpaper. As it continues to push the boundaries of smartphone technology, Samsung has once again shown with the introduction of the One UI 6.1 update how committed it is to giving customers all around the world state-of-the-art inventions that will revolutionize their mobile experience.

The Google and DeepMind subsidiary Isomorphic Labs has created a new artificial intelligence model that is purportedly more accurate than existing methods at predicting the configurations and interactions of every molecule in life.

The AlphaFold 3 system, according to co-founder of DeepMind Demis Hassabis, “can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA, and RNA.”

Protein interactions are essential for drug discovery and development. Examples of these interactions include those between enzymes that are essential for human metabolism and antibodies that fight infectious illnesses.

Published on May 8 in the academic journal Nature, DeepMind said that the findings might drastically cut down on the time and expense needed to create medicines that have the potential to save lives.

“We can design a molecule that will bind to a specific place on a protein, and we can predict how strongly it will bind,” Hassabis stated in a press release, utilizing these new powers.

Earlier, AlphaFold revolutionized research by making protein 3D structure prediction more straightforward. Nevertheless, prior to AlphaFold 3’s improvement, it was unable to forecast situations in which a protein bound with another molecule.

Despite being limited to non-commercial use, scientists are reportedly excited about its increased predictive power and ability to speed up the drug discovery process.

“AlphaFold 3 allows us to generate very precise structural predictions in a matter of seconds, according to a statement released by Isomorphic Labs on X.”

“This discovery opens up exciting possibilities for drug discovery, allowing us to rationally develop therapeutics against targets that were previously difficult or deemed intractable to modulate,” the blog post continued.

The AlphaFold Server Login Process

The AlphaFold Server, a recently released research tool, will be available to scientists for free, according to a statement made by Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs.

Isomorphic Labs is apparently collaborating with pharmaceutical companies to use the potential of AlphaFold 3 in drug design. The goal is to tackle practical drug design issues and ultimately create novel, game-changing medicines for patients.

Since 2021, a database containing more than 200 million protein structures has made AlphaFold’s predictions freely available to non-commercial researchers. In academic works, this resource has been mentioned thousands of times.

According to DeepMind, researchers may now conduct experiments with just a few clicks thanks to the new server’s simplified workflow.

Using a FASTA file, AlphaFold Server’s web interface will enable data entry for a variety of biological molecule types. After processing the task, the AI model displays a 3D overview of the structure.

AI-Connect, a revolutionary conversational speech artificial intelligence (AI) service, was unveiled by Phone.com today. AI-Connect, the newest development in Phone.com’s commercial phone system, offers callers and businesses a smooth and effective contact experience.

AI-Connect is specifically designed to handle inbound leads and schedule appointments without the clumsiness of cookie-cutter call routing or the expense of a contact center. This is ideal for small and micro businesses that need to take advantage of every opportunity to convert interest into sales but lack the luxury of an administrative team or a call center to handle the influx of prospects or sales calls.

AI-Connect can effectively manage duties like call routing, schedule management, and FAQ responding since it is built to engage in genuine, free-flowing conversations with callers. Modern automatic voice recognition (ASR), large language model (LLM), text-to-speech (TTS), natural language understanding (NLU), and natural language processing (NLP) technologies are used to enable this capacity.

The real differentiator with AI-Connect is its capacity to provide goal-oriented, conversational communication. Excellent intent recognition is provided by the company’s creative use of LLM in conjunction with NLU/NLP hybrid infrastructure. Notable is also how the new service leverages machine learning to deliver customized suggestions and detailed call metrics for every engagement.

Phone.com CEO and Co-Founder Ari Rabban stated, “AI-Connect is much more than just a service or new iteration of AI-enabled CX; it’s a strategic game-changer that strips away the burden of expensive, complicated technology designed for small businesses.” “AI-Connect, a component of our UCaaS platform, dismantles conventional barriers and gives companies of all sizes access to a realm of efficiency and expertise that would normally require significant time and investment.”

A professional voice greets customers and provides them with a number of easy options when they initiate a call to an AI-Connect script. AI-Connect guarantees that Phone.com customers maximize every engagement, regardless of their availability to answer, from easily arranging, rescheduling, or canceling appointments to smoothly connecting with a specific contact or department.

AI-Connect effectively filters out spam and other undesirable calls by utilizing sophisticated call screening capabilities, saving both business owners and callers important time.

The discussion between callers and AI-Connect is facilitated by sophisticated conversational design, which also optimizes call flow and delivers real-time responses that are most effective. Businesses may easily modify and implement AI-Connect to meet their specific needs thanks to the intuitive user interface (UI).

“We look forward to embarking on the next chapter of communications with great anticipation as innovation is in our DNA,” said Alon Cohen, the acclaimed Chief Technology Officer of Phone.com, whose engineering prowess produced the first VoIP call ever. The FCC’s Pulver Order, which removed certain IP-based communication services from conventional regulatory restrictions, ushered in a new age and was implemented 20 years ago. With AI-assisted interactions, “we are now in a position to investigate their transformational potential. Our commitment to transforming communication is reaffirmed as we embark on a journey towards a future characterized by intelligent solutions.”

Phone.com is celebrating 15 years of consecutive year-over-year growth, driven by a strong clientele that includes more than 50,000 enterprises and an impressive increase in market share. Supported by an unwavering dedication to providing state-of-the-art services and technology at reasonable costs, the company’s approach works well for enterprises of all sizes, accelerating its trajectory of steady expansion.
