Google Research recently announced the innovative 'Titans' series model architecture, achieving a groundbreaking 2 million token context length through bionic design, with plans to open-source related technologies in the future. The core innovation of this architecture is the introduction of a Deep Neural Long-Term Memory Module, inspired by the human memory system. Titans cleverly combines the rapid response capability of short-term memory with the persistence characteristics of long-term memory, while utilizing an attention mechanism to handle immediate context, forming an efficient information processing system.

According to reports, the U.S. Department of Commerce has added Zhipu AI to its entity list for export controls, accusing it of promoting China's military modernization and infringing on U.S. national security and diplomatic interests. ** This decision makes Zhipu AI the first Chinese large model company to be added to the U.S. entity list, marking a new round of suppression by the U.S. on China's artificial intelligence industry. Zhipu AI subsequently issued a statement emphasizing that the company is based on technology transfer from Tsinghua University and provided a detailed review of its technological development history. Zhipu AI started developing the GLM pre-training architecture in 2020 and launched it in 2022.
