Recently, OpenAI revealed during a Q&A session that there are currently no plans to launch an API for its video generation model Sora. Sora can generate relatively realistic videos based on text descriptions or reference images, attracting significant attention. However, Romain Huet, the head of the development team at OpenAI, stated that they do not plan to launch the API at this stage. He mentioned at the meeting: 'We currently have no plans for a Sora API.' This decision may be related to capacity issues.

On December 16, 2024, MidJourney announced an exciting new feature - 'Moodboards', a collection of images inspired by Pinterest. This feature allows users to upload a carefully curated selection of images to serve as inspiration for generating new artworks. By analyzing the uploaded images, MidJourney's latest AI model (version 6.1) can adapt to diverse and complex visual elements, creating unique outputs.

At the re:Invent conference on Tuesday, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch of its new multimodal generative AI model series - Nova. The released Nova series includes four text generation models: Micro, Lite, Pro, and Premier, as well as the image generation model Nova Canvas and the video generation model Nova Reel. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that the Micro, Lite, and Pro models will be available that day.

Recently, the Australian Senate Select Committee released an investigation report on the national application of artificial intelligence (AI), pointing out numerous issues with large technology companies, including OpenAI, Meta, and Google, regarding their large language models (LLMs). The report, resulting from an eight-month investigation, revealed a lack of transparency from global tech companies in using Australian training data and called for their products to be included under new high-risk AI legal regulations.

In the vast universe of artificial intelligence, mathematics has long been considered the last bastion of machine intelligence. Now, a new benchmarking test named FrontierMath has emerged, pushing AI's mathematical reasoning capabilities to unprecedented limits. Epoch AI has collaborated with over 60 top minds in mathematics to create this challenge, which can be described as the 'Olympics of Mathematics' for AI. This is not just a technology test; it is the ultimate interrogation of artificial intelligence's mathematical wisdom. Imagine a laboratory filled with the world's top mathematicians, meticulously designing...

During the 2024 World Internet Conference held today in Wuzhen, Honor CEO Zhao Ming shared his vision for the future development of mobile phones. He stated that by 2027, phones are expected to be able to incorporate large AI models with 100 billion parameters. This advancement will enable phones to learn, understand, and predict user behaviors and intentions, thereby providing users with more personalized arrangements for their lives and work.
