In 2024, the global AI craze continues to rise, and Thailand is no exception, standing on the brink of an explosion in artificial intelligence (AI). Imagine strolling through the streets of Bangkok, where everything around you is quietly changing. Restaurants have smart ordering systems that can converse with you fluently in Thai, hospitals have AI diagnostic systems capable of accurately analyzing your health status, and even the shared bicycles on the roadside are equipped with smart navigation. This is no fantasy; it is the ongoing AI transformation in Thailand. Image source note: The image is generated by AI, and the image is authorized.

In the age of AI, large language models (LLMs) are akin to martial arts secrets; their training processes consume massive computing power and data, much like martial arts experts who have spent years in secluded training. The release of open-source models is like these experts sharing their secrets with the public, but they come with certain licenses (such as Apache 2.0 and LLaMA 2 Community License) to protect their intellectual property (IP). However, the world can be treacherous, and incidents of 'shelling' are bound to occur. Some developers claim they have trained new LLMs when, in fact, they are using other foundational models (like Lla

Google today announced the launch of its latest generation AI model, Gemini 2.0, which is the company's most powerful AI model to date.

According to Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, Gemini 2.0 has made groundbreaking advancements in multimodal capabilities and native tool usage. The new model can understand and process text, images, and video.

Recently, a series of imaginative AI images have gone viral on social media, cleverly integrating the cute character 'Cute Cat' from a game into the urban landscape of Shanghai, sparking enthusiastic discussions among netizens. Xiaohongshu blogger 'Quyuan' presented a series of surreal cityscapes using AI technology. This adorable character seems to possess a magical presence: drifting on the Huangpu River like an inflatable boat, leisurely sitting under the Oriental Pearl Tower sunbathing, checking in in front of the Wukang Building, and even transforming into a plush airplane. These whimsical images instantly garnered 43,000 likes.

Recently, users discovered the Anthropic Haiku 3.5 version appearing in the Claude.ai application on the X platform, which may indicate that this AI model will be released to the public in the coming days. Haiku 3.5 is the latest version of the smallest AI model in the Anthropic family. Well-known backend feature finder Tibor Blaho made another attempt; when he tried to upload an image using Haiku, he received a warning stating 'Claude 3.5 Haiku does not support images.'

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.

In the digital transformation of Thailand's retail industry, Central Food Retail Group is reshaping the shopping ecosystem with artificial intelligence. The company has partnered with Google Cloud to launch the 'Tops Chef Bot', Thailand's first generative AI-powered shopping assistant. This innovative product, dubbed the 'Chef Robot', is not just a simple shopping tool; it represents a significant attempt in retail technology. It deeply integrates Google Cloud's data analytics, generative AI, and enterprise search engine capabilities with the supermarket's personalized shopping services, aiming to provide consumers with a superior experience.

Recently, the AI research company Epoch AI released an interactive simulator designed to simulate the computational power required to train large language models. Through this simulator, researchers found that while a 2012 outdated graphics card (like the GTX580) could be used to train GPT-4, the cost would be ten times that of modern hardware today. Epoch AI's research indicates that the number of floating-point operations (FLOP) required to train GPT-4 is between 1e25 and 1e26.

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...

Google recently launched the Health AI Developer Foundation (HAI-DEF), a health AI developer initiative designed to empower developers to efficiently build and implement medical AI models. The goal of this new initiative is to democratize AI development in the healthcare sector, promote innovation, and improve patient care. Unique challenges faced in medical AI development include the demand for large, diverse datasets, the need for expertise in both AI and healthcare, and the complexities of training and deploying these models.

Kimi Smart Assistant, a subsidiary of Moon's Dark Side, announces the evolution of the Kimi Exploration Version, introducing three major inference abilities: Enhanced Search Intent, Source Analysis, and Chain Thinking. The Enhanced Search Intent capability allows Kimi Exploration Version to convert abstract and ambiguous questions into specific queries, expanding users' true search intentions. The Source Analysis capability enables Kimi Exploration Version to filter through a vast number of search results to select sources that are more authoritative and reliable, providing traceable links down to the paragraph level. The Chain Thinking capability allows Kimi Exploration Version to handle reasoning based on a chain of thought.

The Traffic Police Division of the Pudong Branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau recently officially issued the first batch of identification plates designed specifically for autonomous driving equipment.
