Raised $300M led by Shanghai state fund, backed by Alibaba, Tencent. Founded by ex-SenseTime execs, focuses on general AI platforms, recently launched new inference and video models.....

PolyU & OPPO developed DLoRAL, a video super-resolution framework using dual LoRA: CLoRA for temporal consistency and DLoRA for spatial details. Its two-stage training balances quality and speed (10× faster inference), with open-source code/models available. Limited in tiny text recovery but promising for real-time applications.....

Hong Kong Polytechnic University and OPPO Research Institute jointly released the open-source video super-resolution framework DLoRAL, which generates high-definition videos in one step using diffusion models. The framework adopts a dual LoRA architecture: C-LoRA maintains temporal consistency between frames, while D-LoRA enhances spatial details. Through a two-stage training strategy, it optimizes temporal coherence and high-frequency information. Compared to traditional methods, DLoRAL improves inference speed by 10 times while maintaining smoothness, significantly enhancing image details, and providing an efficient open-source solution for video HD enhancement.

According to media reports, the artificial intelligence startup MINIMAX is reportedly planning to go public in Hong Kong.

Researchers from Hong Kong and the UK have recently proposed a novel image tokenization method designed to convert images into digital representations (tokens) in a more compact and accurate manner. Unlike traditional methods that distribute information uniformly across all tokens, this method employs a hierarchical structure, capturing visual information layer by layer, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of image reconstruction. Traditional image tokenization techniques typically divide each part of an image equally into multiple tokens, whereas the new method adopts a hierarchical structure. Initial tokens encode rough shapes and structural elements,

Amidst the rapid global advancement in technology, Hong Kong is striving to transform itself into an innovation and technology hub, leading to a significant surge in demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) professionals. Recent reports indicate that Hong Kong employers are currently seeking to fill over 2000 AI-related positions, which will be showcased at the upcoming NetEase Hong Kong Career Expo. The expo, scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, will feature over 580 organizations, including startups, tech companies, government bodies, and large corporations such as Hang Seng Bank and Centaline Property.
