Tencent's AI workspace IMA.copilot (referred to as IMA) announced today the release of its mobile application, first launching on Android, with iOS coming soon. Additionally, it offers a free cloud storage expansion to 2GB, further extending its multi-device ecosystem. As an AI workspace product centered around a knowledge base, IMA has been available on Windows, Mac, and WeChat Mini Programs since its release in October 2024, and the launch of the mobile app signifies that users can enjoy 'searching, reading, and writing' anytime and anywhere.

Recently, artificial intelligence development company OpenAI announced that it will allow some European customers to store and process data related to their interactions with the chatbot within the European Union, rather than storing the data in the United States or elsewhere. This move highlights the profound impact of EU regulations on large digital platforms and AI developers concerning data usage. Image source note: The image is generated by AI, and the image licensing provider Midjourney has paid fees for companies and educational institutions to use the chatbot.

Today, iFlytek officially launched its first deep reasoning large model, the Xunfei Spark Deep Reasoning Model X1, trained on a fully domestic computing power platform. This innovative achievement marks another significant advancement for iFlytek in the field of artificial intelligence. The Xunfei Spark Deep Reasoning Model X1 demonstrates characteristics similar to human 'slow thinking' during problem-solving, while achieving industry-leading results with relatively low computing power, with several key metrics ranking first in the country. Particularly in Chinese mathematical capabilities, this model performs exceptionally well, showcasing strong technical prowess.

Recently, a research team has released a new image super resolution (SR) technology based on Diffusion Inversion, aimed at enhancing image resolution and clarity by fully utilizing the image prior information within large pre-trained diffusion models. This research was jointly completed by three scholars from different academic institutions, who aim to bring new breakthroughs to the field of image super resolution. In this technology, the researchers designed a method called 'Partial Noise Prediction'.

Recently, a research team from the University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland introduced a new technology called 'MyTimeMachine' (MyTM), which is an advanced system capable of personalized facial age transformation. By uploading just 50 photos, the system can learn your facial features and estimate what you might look like at different ages. This technology combines global aging models with users' personal selfies, allowing for high-fidelity age regression (youth restoration) and age progression (aging) effects, while maintaining individual identity features.

After a 5-year restoration project, this masterpiece of Gothic architecture dating back to the 12th century is set to reopen to the public. The devastating fire in 2019 not only destroyed the iconic spire of Notre-Dame but also severely damaged this ancient building that holds the memory of human civilization. However, with the assistance of modern technology, this historical structure is returning with a renewed appearance. The ambitious project, costing approximately €700 million (about 5.3 billion RMB), involved more than 250 companies and over 2,000 craftsmen.

MinIO is a popular open-source S3 compatible object storage system that is widely used for various data storage needs due to its excellent performance and ease of use. However, with the rapid rise of generative AI, MinIO has recognized the opportunity to introduce an AI-centric object storage solution. Therefore, today MinIO officially launched AIStore. AB Periasamy, the founder and CEO of MinIO, has been cautious about adding new features.

Xiaomi's upcoming Xiaomi 15 series smartphones will no longer offer an 8GB RAM version, instead, the base model's RAM configuration will start at 12GB, with a projected price increase. Xiaomi representative Wang Teng noted that future flagship models are likely to eliminate the 8GB RAM option due to the higher memory demands of on-device AI models. He suggested that as AI technology becomes more widespread in smartphones, users should opt for higher RAM versions whenever financial conditions permit. He also advised consumers to be aware of the pricing differences of RAM across different brands.

Recently, UK mobile communications giant Vodafone announced a new collaboration with Google to promote a range of cloud services, generative artificial intelligence tools, and cybersecurity services among customers in Europe and Africa. This partnership continues their existing relationship, which has developed over the past decade, and this expansion will further enhance the market competitiveness of both companies.

According to Vodafone's statement released on Tuesday, the new collaboration will focus on promoting Google’s cloud storage subscription service, among other initiatives.

RapidLayoutRecover is an innovative document image processing tool designed to efficiently convert scanned documents or PDF pages into editable Word or TXT text formats. Its core advantage lies in the intelligent automatic recognition capability, which can accurately identify elements such as text, tables, and formulas, automatically complete layout analysis, and extract content, significantly saving users time and effort. The tool quickly classifies document orientation, conducts detailed layout analysis, and recognizes text, tables, and formulas, achieving conversion from document images to structured TXT.

Facing the direct impact of video quality on viewing experience, especially regarding the presentation of facial details, current methods such as simply applying super-resolution networks to face datasets or independently processing each frame often struggle to balance the detail of facial reconstruction with temporal consistency. To address this challenge, the research team at Nanyang Technological University has launched the innovative framework KEEP, which utilizes the principles of Kalman filtering to achieve a 'memory' capability in facial restoration, significantly enhancing the consistency and continuity of facial details during the restoration process. The KEEP framework consists of four key modules: Encoder, Decoder, Kalman.
