Moreover, it can process text, vision, and audio simultaneously, making it faster and more versatile than its predecessors. 

The recent solar storm mentioned in a podcast episode disrupted GPS systems, significantly impacting precision farming and critical agriculture operations. The disruption affected the accuracy of GPS systems, particularly real-time kinematic systems used in modern tractors. Precision agriculture heavily relies on these systems for planting crops with uniform spacing, and any inaccuracies could result in crop damage and reduced yield. This incident highlighted the vulnerability of modern tractors to satellite disruptions, emphasizing the need for robust contingency plans and resilient infrastructure in the agriculture sector.
