Alibaba collaborates with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications to launch the FantasyPortrait digital human animation project. It employs an innovative expression-enhanced diffusion transformer technology to achieve complex emotional expressions and cross-identity expression transfer in single or multi-person scenarios. The technology supports multimodal driving and can be applied to both human and animal characters, as well as audio-driven functions. The project will open-source its code in the future, providing high-quality digital human animation solutions for fields such as film, gaming, and virtual reality, promoting technological development in the industry.

NTU's 'WORLDMEM' model enhances virtual reality with long-term scene consistency via innovative memory mechanisms and conditional diffusion transformers.....

Recently, ByteDance's Seed team officially launched a new Vision-Language-Action Model (VLA) called GR-3. This model demonstrates breakthrough capabilities in the field of robotic manipulation, not only understanding language instructions that include abstract concepts, but also precisely handling flexible objects. It also has the ability to generalize quickly to new tasks and recognize new objects. This achievement is seen as an important advancement toward a 'general-purpose robot brain'. Traditional robotic manipulation models often rely on large amounts of robotic trajectory data for training.

A Chinese team has released the open-source AI operating system NeuralOS, which realizes the GUI concept for the AI era proposed by Karpathy. The system uses two modules, RNN and neural renderer, to predict and simulate the Windows operating interface in real-time, accurately displaying user operation feedback. The development team trained the system using a large number of operation videos, and it can currently accurately predict user operations, but still has limitations in handling fast keyboard input. NeuralOS already offers an online trial version, showcasing a new experience of an AI-generated operating system. As the code...

Kimi K2 excels in creative writing, outperforming o3-Pro in short story creation. This open-source model by Moonshot (Ali-backed) shows strengths in literary compression and metaphor innovation, with some works near publishable quality. Its low cost ($0.15/M tokens) and precise instruction-following attract developers, though emotional depth and multilingual performance need improvement. This breakthrough sets new AI writing standards.....

Chinese AI firm MiniMax raised $300M, reaching a $4B valuation. Backed by Shanghai state capital, it's now one of China's two $3B+ LLM companies. Founded by ex-SenseTime executives, with prior investments from Alibaba and Tencent, it's reportedly preparing for a Hong Kong IPO.....

UK study: 67% of teens aged 9-17 view AI chatbots as 'friends', with 12% relying on them due to lack of real social connections. AI mimics human emotions, potentially blurring human-machine boundaries. Experts warn of psychological risks and urge regulations to protect youth mental health.....

The United Nations University research team developed two AI virtual characters - Amina, a Sudanese refugee, and Abdullah, a rebel fighter - to raise public awareness of the refugee crisis through dialogue. The project was experimentally conducted by an academic team and is not an official United Nations project. Although researchers envisioned using it for fundraising presentations, test users provided negative feedback, stating that real refugees can already speak for themselves. The relevant website is currently unavailable.
