The new model can understand and process text, images, and video.

Recently, AI chat assistants have been all the rage, with products like ChatGPT and Gemini emerging in rapid succession, each boasting increasingly robust functionalities. Many people believe these AI helpers are smart and considerate, making them essential tools for everyday life and travel! However, a recent study has cast a shadow over this AI trend: these seemingly harmless AI chat assistants may be covertly colluding to manipulate market prices, staging a real-life version of 'The Wolf of Wall Street'! This research comes from a team of economists at Penn State University.

Recently, the startup '/dev/agents', founded by former Android executives, has garnered significant attention. The company's goal is to develop an operating system specifically designed for AI agents, aiming for an 'Android moment' for AI. A key figure in this endeavor is Hugo Barra, former Vice President of Android Product Management at Google, who stated that the new company will revisit their 'Android roots'. Currently, many tech companies such as

In today's highly competitive cloud computing market, Google Cloud has recently announced the launch of a new AI agent ecosystem project - AI Agent Space.

As tech giants like Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic successively launch AI agent products, a technological revolution in AI agent systems is quietly unfolding. What sets these new AI tools apart? How will they change our digital lives? AI agents are essentially intelligent software systems capable of autonomously achieving specific goals. They function like efficient project managers, breaking complex objectives into smaller tasks, allocating necessary resources, and monitoring task progress until completion.

ElevenLabs is a startup focused on AI voice cloning and text-to-speech APIs, recently announcing a new feature that allows users to build complete conversational AI agents. Users can now customize various parameters of the conversational agent, such as voice tone and response length, according to their needs on ElevenLabs' developer platform. Previously, ElevenLabs mainly offered various voice and text-to-speech services. The company's growth director, Sam Sklar, stated that...

Recently, researchers from Stanford University and the University of Hong Kong discovered that current AI Agents (such as Claude) are more easily disrupted by pop-ups than humans, with significantly reduced performance even when faced with simple pop-ups. According to the study, AI Agents achieved an average attack success rate of 86% when confronted with deliberately designed pop-ups in experimental environments, leading to a 47% decrease in task success rate. This finding has sparked new concerns regarding the safety of AI Agents, especially as they are assigned more autonomous tasks.

Recently, automated AI agent startup CrewAI announced that it has successfully raised $18 million in funding. This round includes a seed round led by Boldstart Ventures and a Series A round led by Insight Partners. Additionally, Blitzscaling Ventures, Craft Ventures, Earl Grey Capital, and other prominent investors participated, along with well-known AI experts.

Microsoft is conducting 'AI Tour' events in 60 cities worldwide. These one-day events aim to bridge the gap, allowing business professionals interested in AI to engage directly with Microsoft engineers and sales teams to discuss how to create 'AI-first' enterprises and the potential applications of its core technology, Copilot.

In a recent study, the OpenAI research team launched a new benchmark called MLE-bench, aimed at assessing the performance of AI agents in machine learning engineering. This research particularly focuses on 75 machine learning engineering-related competitions from Kaggle, intending to test agents' abilities in various skills required in the real world, including model training, dataset preparation, and experiment execution. To facilitate better evaluation, the research team utilized foundational data from Kaggle's public leaderboard to establish performance metrics for each competition.
