    Moto’s getting in on the (large) action (model).

    Motorola loves a concept, and its latest is a large action model: AI capable of taking action for you. I got a demo of the model on a Razr Plus, where a simple text prompt cued it to open the Uber app and call a ride. Neat! It’s not shipping anytime soon, but Moto has a few other AI features that might.

    <em>The action model opened the Uber app and entered the destination based on a prompt.</em>
    <em>In theory, you can use the action model to make dinner reservations, too.</em>
