Apple plans to release the iOS 18.2 system update in the first week of December, specifically during the week of December 2, aimed at allowing users to quickly experience more artificial intelligence features. According to Mark Gurman, this update will integrate ChatGPT technology into Apple's voice assistant, Siri, allowing users to access ChatGPT's text and image generation capabilities for free without needing to create an account. Siri will use the expertise of ChatGPT to answer questions and will seek user consent before making inquiries.

This week, MIT showcased a new model for training robots, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by imitation learning when introduced to small obstacles. Researchers pointed out that imitation learning can fail in conditions such as varying lighting, different environments, or new obstacles because robots simply do not have enough data to adapt. The team sought powerful data methods, like those used in models such as GPT-4, to tackle the problem. They introduced a new architecture called the Heterogeneous Pretrained Transformer (HPT), which aggregates information from different sensors and environments.

Recently, the image AI startup Recraft released its latest text-generating image model, Recraft v3, which has shown exceptional performance in independent testing, redefining the standards for image generation performance. According to Recraft, the v3 model excels in generating text within images, maintaining anatomical accuracy, understanding prompts, and creating high-quality visual content. Its biggest breakthrough is the ability to accurately present long segments of text in a single generation, while many other models struggle with more than a few words.

In today's rapidly developing artificial intelligence landscape, the phenomenon of AI 'hallucinations' has become increasingly frequent, causing significant inconvenience for many companies. Customer service chatbots confidently describe non-existent products, financial AIs fabricate market data, and medical bots provide dangerous medical advice. These issues are no longer mere curiosities; they pose serious risks that are affecting company reputation and profitability. To tackle this challenge, San Francisco-based startup Patronus AI has announced the launch of the world's first self-service platform aimed at real-time detection and prevention.

ByteDance quietly enters the new battlefield of AI communities, drawing industry attention with its internally incubated AI platform, Lumi. Positioned as a community for sharing AI models, the platform is still in the whitelist testing phase, but its complete ecological layout is beginning to take shape. As an important part of ByteDance's strategy in the AI field, Lumi's core positioning is to create a comprehensive platform that integrates model sharing, workflow building, and model training. In the context of AI technology rapidly penetrating various industries, the emergence of this platform may provide developers and researchers with greater opportunities.

Today in Chengdu, a significant breakthrough in technological innovation has been achieved! According to the official Chengdu WeChat account, the Chengdu Humanoid Robot Innovation Center has unveiled the country's first ultra-lightweight humanoid robot - 'Gongga No. 1'. This robot is not only lightweight and agile but also equipped with powerful intelligence, making it a proud 'Chengdu creation'. 'Gongga No. 1' is one of only three humanoid robots globally to possess the 'strongest brain', with a total weight of just 25 kilograms, well below the industry standard of 60 to 250 kilograms.

Today, OPPO announced that it has successfully applied the Expert Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture to mobile devices for the first time globally. This groundbreaking advancement significantly enhances AI processing efficiency, opening new pathways for the further development of terminal AI technologies and laying the foundation for the deep integration of AI and mobile hardware. As AI technology rapidly advances, an increasing number of AI tasks need to be completed on terminal devices. However, large AI models often require powerful computing capabilities, which poses a huge challenge for mobile devices with limited hardware resources. This breakthrough aims to overcome this limitation.

Recently, OpenAI announced an important personnel appointment, naming former U.S. Chief Economist Aaron Chatterji as the company's first Chief Economist. This former economist who worked under President Joe Biden will provide an economic perspective to OpenAI's research, focusing on the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on economic growth and employment prospects. Chatterji has a rich background in government work and previously served as a senior member of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.
