In the field of artificial intelligence, the rise of DeepSeek has sparked widespread attention and concern in the West. However, Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch has welcomed this emerging force, believing that DeepSeek's new models will promote the development of the open source ecosystem. Mistral, dubbed the 'European OpenAI,' has consistently advocated for open source principles, emphasizing the importance of openness and collaboration since its establishment in 2023. In an interview with Business Insider,

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, in a published column, urged the United States to ramp up its research and development efforts in open source artificial intelligence to address the rise of DeepSeek. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image provided by licensing service Midjourney. Schmidt believes that the rise of DeepSeek signifies a turning point in the global AI competition, proving that China can compete with major tech companies using fewer resources. Schmidt pointed out that to counter DeepSeek, the United States must...

Recently, engineers at Meta shared their thoughts on the anonymous social platform TeamBlind, revealing the immense pressure brought by the AI model R1 developed by the Chinese company DeepSeek. DeepSeek is considered to be the world's first open-source AI model comparable to OpenAI's o1 model. Compared to OpenAI, R1 not only has a higher degree of openness, but its training cost is astonishingly low, at just $5.5 million. In contrast, Meta's executives ...

Stanford University has made significant advancements in the field of artificial intelligence with their latest development, the open-source STORM & Co-STORM system. This system can generate high-quality long articles by integrating diverse information through simple topic input. This innovation not only avoids information blind spots but also greatly improves the efficiency and quality of scientific writing. The core technologies of the STORM & Co-STORM system include support from Bing Search and GPT-4o mini.

The highly anticipated Deepseek V3 is finally open source! This brand-new AI model has achieved significant breakthroughs in multilingual programming capabilities, even outperforming competitors like Claude 3.5 Sonnet V2 in the aider multilingual programming assessment, attracting widespread attention in the industry. It is reported that Deepseek V3 has made a qualitative leap in performance compared to previous versions. Deepseek V2.5 had a success rate of only 17% in the aider assessment, while V3 has surged to 4.

Recently, Meta officially launched an open-source AI virtual try-on framework named Leffa. This framework aims to enhance the user dressing experience by generating new images, allowing users to switch between different clothing and poses based on a reference image. Compared to previous methods, Leffa excels in detail retention and reducing image distortion. The launch of Leffa brings new possibilities for online shopping and virtual try-ons. Users only need to upload a reference image, and the system can generate an entirely new outfit effect based on that image.

Today, Deepfake is ubiquitous. With the rise of generative AI, the amount of false content online has exploded. According to identity verification platform Sumsub, the number of Deepfakes globally has increased fourfold from 2023 to 2024. By 2024, Deepfake will account for 7% of all fraud incidents, involving everything from identity impersonation and account theft to complex social engineering attacks. To effectively combat Deepfake, Meta...

Non-profit AI research organization Ai2 recently launched its new OLMo2 series, the second generation of its 'Open Language Model' (OLMo) series. The release of OLMo2 not only provides strong technical support for the AI community but also represents the latest development in open source AI with its completely open-source code. Unlike other 'open' language models currently on the market, such as Meta's Llama series, OLMo2 meets the strict definition of the open-source initiative, which means that the materials used for its development...

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.

In the application of artificial intelligence, achieving real-time interaction with AI has always been a significant challenge for developers and researchers. Among these challenges, integrating multimodal information (such as text, images, and audio) to form a coherent dialogue system is particularly complex. Although advanced large language models like GPT-4 have made some progress, many AI systems still struggle with achieving smoothness in real-time conversations, context awareness, and multimodal understanding, which limits their effectiveness in practical applications.

In the field of generative AI, Apple's efforts seem to be primarily focused on mobile devices, especially the latest iOS 18 system. However, the new Apple M4 chip demonstrates powerful performance in the recently released Mac Mini and MacBook Pro, enabling effective local operation of the most powerful open-source large language models (LLMs) available today, such as Meta's Llama-3.1405B, Nvidia's Nemotron70B, and Qwen.

Beijing Zhizhu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd. announced that its CogVideoX series models have launched the latest version - CogVideoX v1.5, which is now open source. Since its release in early August, this series of models has become a leader in the video generation field due to its industry-leading technology and developer-friendly features. The new version, CogVideoX v1.5, has been significantly upgraded, enhancing video generation capabilities and now supports 5/10 second, 768P, 16-frame video generation.
