Geekbench AI is a brand new cross-platform tool designed to evaluate device performance under AI-intensive workloads. It tests the CPU, GPU, and NPU to determine the device's ability to handle machine learning applications. It supports various AI frameworks such as ONNX, CoreML, TensorFlow Lite, and OpenVINO, and evaluates performance from both speed and accuracy dimensions, providing scores in full precision, half precision, and quantized precision. Additionally, Geekbench AI's testing results...

To test the 'stress resistance' of these AIs, a group of researchers embarked on an 'adventure'. They created a test called Self-Contradictory Instructions (SCI), which is essentially the 'death challenge' for AI. This test includes 20,000 self-contradictory instructions, covering both language and visual domains. For example, you might be shown a picture of a cat and asked to describe this 'dog'. Isn't that a challenge for humans? Oh no, it's a challenge for AI.

OpenAI recently released the GPT-4o System Card, detailing the safety measures and risk assessments prior to the launch of the new model. GPT-4o was officially launched in May, and the assessment showed an overall risk rating of 'medium', with major risks concentrated in cybersecurity, biological threats, persuasive capability, and model autonomy. Researchers found that while GPT-4o may be more persuasive in influencing reader opinions, it did not surpass humans overall. At the time of releasing the system card, OpenAI faced criticism from internal employees and state senators questioning its decision-making.

Long context understanding is a key challenge in the field of natural language processing, especially when large language models (LLMs) handle text that exceeds their context window size. To address this issue, researchers developed the LooGLE benchmark test, aimed at assessing LLMs' capability to understand extremely long documents (averaging 19.3k words, comprising 776 articles across multiple domains). LooGLE includes 7 tasks that cover both short and long dependencies, evaluating model understanding across texts of varying lengths. The test data is sourced from open-access content after 2022.

The futuristic scenario depicted in the movie 'Her' is becoming a reality, as OpenAI's GPT-4o model has launched a gradual testing phase for its voice feature, providing users with a more natural and real-time conversational experience. This feature allows users to interrupt freely, can sense and respond to user emotions, and includes 'face-to-face' communication via video and screen-sharing capabilities. GPT-4o's output capability has significantly increased, allowing for an output range of 4000 to 64000 tokens in one go, equivalent to about 200 pages of a novel. During testing, users can use it to tell jokes.

Researchers from the Department of Psychology at the University of Cambridge have recently made a significant breakthrough in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. They have developed an advanced artificial intelligence tool that can predict the progression of Alzheimer's disease with an accuracy of 80%. This innovative approach aims to reduce reliance on invasive and expensive dementia diagnostic tests while also hoping to significantly improve treatment outcomes in the early stages of th

At the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), SenseTime Technology launched a controllable character video generation large model named Vimi.
