With the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series smartphones, the highly anticipated upgraded Bixby voice assistant will also make its way to the global market. Currently, this powerful AI assistant is only available on the Galaxy W25 and W25 Flip phones in China, but it is expected to expand to most markets soon after the Galaxy S25 launches. According to Korean media ETNews, the new Bixby assistant features a custom large language model (LLM), which

The legal battle between OpenAI and Musk has been ongoing for months, with the core dispute centered around whether OpenAI has deviated from its original non-profit mission to make AI research benefits accessible to all. Last month, Musk filed a motion in court seeking to prevent OpenAI from transitioning from a non-profit organization to a for-profit company. In response, OpenAI published a lengthy statement on its official website and released emails exchanged with Musk from 2015 to 2023 to address Musk's allegations. OpenAI accused Musk of being 'jealous...

Meta has recently launched a new neural watermark system called VideoSeal, designed to help identify AI-generated videos, even if the videos have been edited, it can effectively trace their origin. This watermark is invisible to viewers but can be verified through detection methods to confirm the video's authenticity. Meta has released the entire system as open source software under the MIT license, including the VideoSeal watermark model, research papers, and training and inference code.

OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever recently stated that artificial intelligence researchers must find new ways to scale machine intelligence to overcome current limitations. Sutskever delivered a talk at the 2024 Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) conference in Vancouver, Canada, where he suggested that the era of AI pre-training is nearing its end and predicted the emergence of superintelligent AI. Sutskever believes that through better hardware, software, and machine...

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.

Teuken-7B, a language model with 7 billion parameters, has now been launched on Hugging Face, supporting all 24 official EU languages. This model was developed by the EU OpenGPT-X research project and is available as an open-source project for users. Unlike most AI language models that are English-centric, Teuken-7B was built from the ground up, with approximately half of its training data sourced from non-English European languages. Image source note: The image is AI-generated.

Europe's most valuable artificial intelligence startup, Mistral, is actively expanding its operations in the United States to compete for AI talent with rivals in Silicon Valley. The Paris-based company is establishing a new office in Palo Alto, California, and is seeking to hire engineers, scientists, and sales teams to drive its growth in the U.S. market. According to insiders, one of Mistral's co-founders, Guillaume Lample, is also involved.

NVIDIA recently announced that its open-source BioNeMo™ biomolecular AI framework has gained widespread adoption in the pharmaceutical field, attracting significant attention from pharmaceutical companies, biotech innovators, and AI researchers. The introduction of this framework marks the formal entry of AI-assisted drug development into the supercomputing era. As a specialized AI toolkit for biomolecular research, the BioNeMo framework offers revolutionary breakthroughs for the pharmaceutical industry. Researchers can leverage this framework to significantly enhance the computational scale of AI models, analyze massive datasets more efficiently, and achieve remarkable advancements.

Recently, xAI engineer Hieu Pham posted an 'explosive' message on social media claiming that xAI's large language model Grok3 had successfully proven the Riemann Hypothesis, leading to a halt in the model's training. This news quickly sparked heated discussions in the AI community, with netizens expressing shock and struggling to discern the truth. After all, the Riemann Hypothesis is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, hailed as the 'crown jewel' of conjectures, its difficulty is well understood. Hours later, Pham revealed in another post that it was just a joke.

The European Union recently released a draft of guidelines for the behavior of General-Purpose AI (GPAI) models, aimed at providing companies with a framework to comply and avoid hefty fines. The document is set to be finalized in May and outlines risk management guidelines, offering a blueprint for compliance and avoidance of significant penalties. GPAI refers to AI that has been trained with a total computational power exceeding 10²⁵ FLOP. Companies expected to be bound by the EU guidelines include OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, and Mistral.
