MRI images have long been a significant challenge in medical imaging analysis due to their complexity and large data volume. To train large language models (LLMs) for MRI analysis, developers have had to slice the captured images into 2D images. While this approach is feasible, it limits the model's ability to analyze complex anatomical structures, particularly in intricate cases such as brain tumors, skeletal diseases, or cardiovascular conditions. Image source note: Image generated by AI, licensed by Midjourney. However, GE Healthcare this year...

According to South Korean media The Elec, Apple has recently requested Samsung to start researching a new packaging method for Low Power Double Data Rate (LPDDR) DRAM in order to further enhance the edge AI performance of the iPhone. This requirement marks Apple's continued efforts to enhance the AI capabilities of its devices. Currently, Apple's iPhone uses a Package on Package (PoP) solution, stacking LPDDR DRAM directly on top of the System on Chip (SoC), a design that has been in use since 2010.

Recently, a research team from the University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland introduced a new technology called 'MyTimeMachine' (MyTM), which is an advanced system capable of personalized facial age transformation. By uploading just 50 photos, the system can learn your facial features and estimate what you might look like at different ages. This technology combines global aging models with users' personal selfies, allowing for high-fidelity age regression (youth restoration) and age progression (aging) effects, while maintaining individual identity features.

Xiaomi today revealed the imaging configuration details of the REDMI K80 series smartphones, marking a comprehensive upgrade in photography capabilities for this series.
