At the theme speech of Huawei Developer Conference HDC2025 held this afternoon, Zhang Ping'an, Executive Director of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud Computing, officially announced the release of PanGu 5.5, marking the comprehensive upgrade of five basic models in natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), multimodal, prediction, and scientific computing.

As artificial intelligence products and tools continue to deeply integrate into the way people interact with the internet and capture market share and funding, traditional web tools are facing unprecedented survival challenges. The Browser Company seems to have keenly picked up on this trend and taken bold action. Last year, the company made a significant decision: to stop developing its popular web browser Arc. Despite having a certain user base among enthusiasts, its steep learning curve made it difficult to achieve large-scale adoption.

Dark Side of the Moon researcher Flood Sung recently published a lengthy article, revealing for the first time the development ideas behind the k1.5 model and deeply reflecting on the technological insights brought by the OpenAI o1 model. According to Flood Sung, the importance of Long-CoT (Long Chain of Thought) was actually validated over a year ago by Tim Zhou Xinyu, co-founder of the Dark Side of the Moon. By training small models for multi-digit calculations and transforming the fine-grained calculation processes into Long Chain of Thought data for SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning).

On January 22, 2025, Shanghai Step-Video Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. announced the official upgrade of its video generation model Step-Video to version V2. This upgrade brings significant technological breakthroughs and enhancements, making it even more powerful in simulating the real world.

Microsoft Research has launched a powerful AI system called MatterGen that can generate new materials with specific properties, potentially accelerating the development of key technologies such as batteries and solar panels. The introduction of MatterGen signifies a fundamental shift in how scientists discover new materials. Unlike traditional methods that screen millions of existing compounds, MatterGen directly generates new materials based on desired characteristics, akin to how AI image generators create visuals from textual descriptions.

Recently, the artificial intelligence startup OpenAI stated in a blog post on its official website that, in face of its growing funding needs, the company urgently requires more funds to achieve its goals. This news has attracted widespread attention, as OpenAI has always operated as a nonprofit organization with the mission of 'building safe and beneficial general AI for the benefit of humanity.' With the rapid development of AI technology, OpenAI has realized that large enterprises are investing significantly in AI development in the current market.

Recently, the artificial intelligence company OpenAI announced plans to transform its organizational structure into a for-profit entity to meet its enormous funding needs. OpenAI stated that current AI industry giants have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in technology research and development, and therefore its future growth requires corresponding financial support. Image source note: The image was generated by AI, and the image licensing service provider Midjourney mentioned in a blog post, OpenAI's board stated: 'We again need to raise more funding than we anticipated.'

Yann LeCun, head of AI research at Meta, recently stated in an interview that current AI systems are not as powerful as some researchers have claimed. He noted that the true understanding, planning, and reasoning capabilities of AI are still lacking and that multiple 'conceptual breakthroughs' are needed to achieve human-like intelligence. Image source note: Image generated by AI, image licensed from provider Midjourney. LeCun criticized the overly optimistic attitudes of OpenAI and Google DeepMind towards AI.

Recently, a research team from the fields of computer science and sociology, in collaboration with Google DeepMind, successfully developed a new type of artificial intelligence application that can generate a personality simulation of a person after just two hours of interviews. The research team published a related paper on the arXiv preprint server, introducing this innovative technology and its future development directions. The research is based on the popular ChatGPT large language model, developing a new model aimed at asking questions to participants and recording their answers.

OpenAI has launched a major upgrade to its ChatGPT Plus subscription users with the latest large language model (LLM) upgrade - the 'Creative Writing' feature of ChatGPT-4o. According to a brief statement from OpenAI on X (formerly Twitter), the upgraded model's writing capabilities are more natural and engaging, and can be tailored to user needs, enhancing the relevance and readability of the content. With this upgrade, ChatGPT-4o is considered to have reached new heights in the field of creative writing.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, humanity seems to be closer to the virtual scenes depicted in the movie 'The Matrix'. Recently, an innovative AI basic world simulator named 'The Matrix' was officially launched by an all-Chinese team, capable of infinitely generating high-fidelity 720p realistic scene videos and supporting real-time interaction. This simulator showcases a 14-minute demo video, but in reality, it can continuously generate content for up to an hour, covering various scenes such as deserts, grasslands, bodies of water, and cities.

Recently, researchers from ByteDance Research Institute and Tsinghua University jointly released a new study, pointing out that current AI video generation models, such as OpenAI's Sora, while capable of creating stunning visual effects, have significant flaws in understanding basic physical laws. This study has sparked widespread discussion on the capabilities of AI in simulating reality. The research team tested AI video generation models under three different scenarios: predictions under known patterns and predictions under unknown patterns.

After an accidental encounter at a thrift store, former Apple engineer Alex Ruber and former Twitter and Asana engineer Parth Chopra joined forces to establish the second-hand goods search engine Encore, aimed at addressing the challenges consumers face in finding desired items within the vast second-hand market. This emerging startup has successfully been selected as one of the inaugural fall startups in Y Combinator's history. The two initially met on Y Combinator's founder matching platform, and later at an event.

Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon recently predicted that artificial intelligence smartphones (AI smartphones) will become accessible to every consumer worldwide within five years. He forecasts that almost everyone could possess an AI-based smartphone in the near future. Amon believes that the proliferation of AI smartphones will follow the mature trajectory of the transition from feature phones to smartphones, requiring a gradual enhancement and enrichment of application scenarios. He is convinced that with ongoing technological advancements, AI smartphones will lead market trends and become mainstream in the industry.
