According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to integrate Apple Intelligence into the Vision Pro headset as early as April. This AI suite was initially set to launch in June 2024, and will be introduced through the visionOS 2.4 software update, which is expected to be available for developers this week. Just a few weeks after the initial release of Apple Intelligence in June 2024, Gurman reported that Apple is looking to expand its AI capabilities.

Recently, Alibaba announced its latest technological achievement, Animate Anyone 2. This groundbreaking technology enables precise character replacement in videos. According to the project’s official website showcasing case studies, users only need to provide the original video and target character images, allowing the system to achieve real-time character replacement while preserving the original video’s motion trajectory. Experimental data shows that the system can completely transfer a soccer player's shooting motion to an animated character while maintaining the true physical characteristics of the ball's movement. This addresses the complex needs in film production.
