Recently, IBM announced the launch of version 3.1 of its open source language model Granite, which brings many important enhancements. The new version of the model has been redesigned with a denser architecture, capable of handling up to 128,000 tokens at once. This update signifies a substantial improvement in Granite's ability to process complex text and tasks. The Granite 3.1 model has been trained on datasets in 12 languages and 116 programming languages, processing a total of 12 trillion tokens.

An unexpected personnel change brought OpenAI's Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil to the stage of the Marriott Hotel in San Francisco. This Silicon Valley product master, who previously achieved commercial miracles at Twitter and Instagram, now bears the responsibility of OpenAI's commercialization transformation. Just days earlier, the sudden departure of the company's CTO Mira Murati once again placed OpenAI in the spotlight. This executive reshuffle is not a coincidence. Over the past year, OpenAI has faced wave after wave of challenges.

Beijing TuSimple Technology Co., Ltd. officially launched its first 'Image-to-Video' large model - 'Ruyi' on December 17, 2024, and has made the Ruyi-Mini-7B version open source for users to download from the huggingface platform. TuSimple was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in San Diego, California, focusing on the application of AI technology across various industries, including animation gaming and transportation.

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of architectural design is unstoppable, but it is not omnipotent and cannot currently replace human creativity. Kostika Lala, founder and head of Toronto's Flashcube Labs, believes that while AI has brought significant changes to the industry, it is still in its early stages, and the current design outcomes are 'very basic.' He emphasizes that AI will not replace creativity but can enhance the creativity of architects. Flashcube Labs is currently using AI to generate renderings.

Earlier this year, Google released the sixth generation of TPU, the Trillium, which is the most powerful TPU to date. Today, Trillium is officially available for Google Cloud customers. Google has trained its latest AI model, Gemini 2.0, using the Trillium TPU, making it the strongest AI model created by Google so far. Now, enterprises and startups can leverage the same robust, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure. The core of the AI supercomputer: Tri

OpenAI recently launched its video generation model Sora, but the training data for the model may contain a lot of copyrighted game content, raising concerns about legal issues. Sora can generate videos of up to 20 seconds based on user text prompts or images, supporting various aspect ratios and resolutions. At the time of its release, OpenAI mentioned that Sora's training data includes Minecraft videos, sparking curiosity about other potentially used game content. In practical tests, Sora is able to...

In the digital age, computer chips are getting smaller, but computing problems are becoming larger. With the continuous advancement of AI models, energy consumption and computing demands in data centers are growing exponentially. IBM's recent breakthrough in optical technology promises to transform this situation. Traditional data centers face two major technical bottlenecks: the limitations of copper wire transmission and electronic transmission speeds. Currently, most CPUs are largely idle, simply waiting for data packets to be transmitted. This represents a significant waste of computing resources.

According to the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, Shanghai has once again set a new record in medical technology. On November 6, Huashan Hospital's neurosurgery department successfully completed a pioneering clinical implant trial of a brain-computer interface, bringing hope to paralyzed patients for regaining autonomy in their lives. This groundbreaking technology was jointly developed by Borye Medical Technology and Professor Hongbo's team from Tsinghua University. Patient Xiao Dong, after being paralyzed for four years, successfully collected neural signals from the sensory-motor area of the brain using a brain-computer interface device the size of a coin. Unlike traditional invasive brain-computer interfaces, this system employs a wireless minimally invasive design.
