ByteDance's Pico is developing a lightweight MR glasses, weighing only 127 grams. It uses a split design to transfer computing tasks to an external processing unit and is developing a dedicated chip to reduce latency. This move directly targets Meta's MR strategy, as the latter has paused the development of Quest 4 and shifted towards lightweight devices. Both major companies are betting on split-style MR glasses, indicating that the industry is transitioning from traditional VR headsets to more compact forms.

Amazon AWS launches a new AI development tool called Kiro, focusing on the concept of specification-driven development. The tool is based on the open-source Code OSS platform and is compatible with the VS Code ecosystem. It uses AI collaboration to first generate requirement documents and system designs, then automatically generates code, test cases, and documentation, ensuring code quality. Kiro supports multimodal input and automated testing features. It is currently available for free preview, and a paid version will be released in the future. Its specification-driven development model has the potential to address maintenance challenges with AI-generated code, but the initial usage may be complex.
