Microsoft recently released AutoGen v0.4, an orchestration framework for AI agents. This update aims to enhance the flexibility and controllability of AI agents to meet user demands for functional extension and observability. Since its launch, AutoGen has garnered significant attention from developers, but users have encountered some architectural limitations, inefficient APIs, and insufficient debugging and intervention capabilities. In the new version, Microsoft focuses on improving the modularity and scalability of the framework.

The Shanghai Municipal Cyberspace Administration announced the latest registration notice for generative AI services, aimed at further promoting the innovative development and standardized application of generative AI in the city. According to the requirements of the 'Interim Measures for the Management of Generative AI Services', Shanghai has orderly carried out the filing work for generative AI services and registered services that call the registered model capabilities through API or other methods. As of now, Shanghai has added 9 newly registered generative AI services, bringing the total number of registered services to 63.

Recently, Adobe's research team collaborated with researchers from the University of Michigan to develop an artificial intelligence system called MultiFoley, which generates sound effects for dubbing in films and videos, assisting in post-production. The innovation of MultiFoley lies in its ability to allow users to create sound effects through text prompts, reference audio, or video examples. In demonstrations, the system can even transform a cat's meow into a lion's roar, or convert the sound of a typewriter into piano notes, perfectly synchronized with video footage.

Baidu AI has recently launched a new feature that allows users to directly import files from Baidu Wangpan into the Wenxin Yiyan platform. This update greatly simplifies the process of uploading and managing files for users, enabling quicker access and processing of various documents stored in the cloud.

ByteDance and a research team from Shanghai University of Science and Technology have developed an innovative technology called 'HeadGAP' that can quickly generate highly realistic and animatable 3D virtual head models using just three photos taken from different angles, enabling facial expression synchronization. During the research process, the team first extracted 3D head prior information from a large multi-view dynamic dataset to customize the virtual avatar for the target individual. By utilizing a Gaussian point cloud-based self-decoding network and partial dynamic modeling, in conjunction with inversion and fine-tuning strategies, they efficiently achieved high-quality and diverse...

Synchron is pioneering brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to offer new hope for patients with limited mobility. By integrating implanted BCI with OpenAI's ChatGPT, patients can more easily control digital devices without invasive surgery. This combination allows patients to type and communicate using AI-predicted responses, significantly enhancing communication speed. As AI learns individual language habits, prediction accuracy improves. S....
