In a surprising turn of events, a prototype unit of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Classic has surfaced on eBay, providing what appears to be the first real-world confirmation of the much-discussed "squircle" design. The term "squircle" – a hybrid of square and circle – has been floating in tech circles for months, and now it seems Samsung is indeed taking a bold step away from its traditional circular watch face design.
This development marks a significant moment in the evolution of Samsung's wearables, suggesting not just a cosmetic shift but a broader rethinking of the Galaxy Watch’s usability, ergonomics, and software optimization. In this in-depth breakdown, we’ll explore everything we know so far about the Galaxy Watch8 Classic, the implications of the squircle form factor, the leak’s origin, what the eBay listing reveals, how it compares to past Galaxy Watch models, and what this could mean for the smartwatch market as a whole.

GPT-3: Introduced by OpenAI in mid-2020, GPT-3 had 175 billion parameters initially. GPT-4: While specific figures haven’t been officially shared, GPT-4 is larger than GPT-3. Some reports suggest it has 1.76 trillion parameters. Gemini Ultra: Google’s model, which performs similarly to GPT-4, allegedly has 1.6 trillion parameters. MAI-1’s configuration positions it as an intermediate option between GPT-3 and GPT-4. It offers great response accuracy while using less energy than OpenAI’s flagship, resulting in lower inference costs for Microsoft. The development of MAI-1 is being supervised by Mustafa Suleyman, who co-founded DeepMind (Google’s AI research team) and joined Microsoft in March. The model’s training dataset likely includes text generated by GPT-4 and web content. Microsoft is using a “large cluster of servers” equipped with Nvidia graphics cards for the development process. While it may be too complex for consumer devices like mobile phones, MAI-1 could find its ...
