Recently, a seemingly trivial question has sparked heated discussions worldwide: Are there more wheels or doors in the world? While this question may appear inconsequential at first glance, it actually provides an excellent opportunity to explore the capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI). This topic unexpectedly went viral in 2022, with a simple question igniting countless debates on Twitter and subsequently gaining widespread attention on TikTok. People began to fervently discuss which one has a greater quantity: wheels or doors. However, answering this question...

On October 22, 2024, Qualcomm unveiled its new flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, at the Snapdragon Technology Summit. This chip is manufactured using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process and features Qualcomm's self-developed Oryon CPU architecture, achieving a dual enhancement in performance and energy efficiency. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is Qualcomm's first mobile platform to adopt an all-large core design, eliminating the previous mix of big and little cores. The CPU consists of two super cores with a frequency of up to 4.32GHz and six cores running at 3.53GHz.

Procurement orchestration platform ZipHQ announced today the completion of a $190 million Series D funding round, bringing its valuation to $2.2 billion. The funding was led by BOND Capital, with follow-on investments from DST Global, Adams Street Partners, and Alkeon Capital, while existing investors Y Combinator and Charles River Ventures also participated. Founded in 2020, Zip is redefining enterprise procurement flows using AI.

At the Snapdragon Summit 2024 held today, Qualcomm officially unveiled the highly anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, a chip built on TSMC's advanced second-generation 3nm process technology, marking a new peak in performance for Android smartphone chips. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 features an entirely new core design, eliminating the small cores in favor of a full big-core layout, which includes 2 ultra-large cores with clock speeds reaching up to 4.32GHz and 6 large cores at 3.53GHz. This design sets a new historical record for smartphone processor clock speeds.

Recently, Perplexity introduced a new feature called 'Internal Knowledge Search', which allows its Pro and Enterprise Pro users to query both internet information and their internal databases on a single platform. This new functionality aims to enhance work efficiency for enterprises, enabling users to more conveniently access the information they need. However, it is important to note that users can only upload documents they deem important to the platform, and the Internal Knowledge Search feature will be limited to these uploaded documents.

Recently, a research team jointly launched an open-source AI image generation model named Meissonic. Surprisingly, this model uses only one billion parameters while being able to generate high-quality images. This compact design gives Meissonic the potential to enable localized text-to-image applications on mobile devices. The technology behind this model involves a research team that includes Alibaba, Skywork AI, and researchers from various universities. They employed a unique transformer architecture and innovative training methods, which allow

Against the backdrop of rising global chip demand, semiconductor manufacturing company TSMC announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2024, which were impressive. The company reported a net profit of NT$352.3 billion (approximately $10.1 billion), an increase of 54% compared to the same period last year. This achievement surpassed market analysts' expectations, with Reuters previously estimating a net profit of NT$300.2 billion. Image source: The image was generated by AI, provided by the image licensing service Midjourney. TSMC is a global leader in advanced chips.

Recently, a research team from Princeton University released an intriguing report indicating that as of August 2024, approximately 4.36% of new articles on Wikipedia contain significant AI-generated content. This study was conducted by scholars Creston Brooks, Samuel Eggert, and Denis Peskoff, who used tools named GPTZero and Binoculars to detect this AI-generated content.

As a newcomer curious about image processing, I have tried various image editing tools multiple times, but I was always overwhelmed by complex settings and tedious operations. It wasn't until I encountered RF-Inversion that I truly realized how simple and enjoyable image editing could be. Say goodbye to complexity and easily achieve image editing. In the past, transforming an ordinary image into a uniquely styled artwork often required professional drawing or image processing knowledge. RF-Inversion completely overturns this traditional notion. It utilizes stochastic differential equations.

In today's rapidly advancing technology landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is infiltrating various aspects of our lives at an unprecedented speed. However, the application of this new technology in the field of education has sparked a controversy, and a case in Hingham, Massachusetts is a typical example. The protagonists of the incident are a senior student at Hingham High School. According to his mother, Jennifer Harris, her son used AI to gather research materials and create an outline while working on a group project with a classmate.

Wenyuan Zhixing officially launched its new generation mass-produced Robotaxi — GXR on October 15. GXR draws on more than 1,800 days of public operation experience in the Robotaxi field, featuring L4 level public road driving capability, and can handle complex scenarios such as morning and evening rush hours, mixed traffic, and high-speed driving at night. The Wenyuan Zhixing GXR is equipped with comprehensive redundancy systems for architecture, F-O line control chassis, computing units, and braking, effectively avoiding single point failures. It also features the new HPC 2.0 high-performance computing platform.
