Amidst the intensifying global competition in AI technology, the Indian government has launched a significant artificial intelligence project called BharatGen. Supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, this project has allocated approximately ₹23.5 billion (approximately $27 million USD) to build India's own foundational AI models, aiming to secure the country's technological sovereignty. Image Note: Image generated by AI, image licensing service provider Midjourney. The BharatGen project's development is not coincidental. It follows China's DeepSeek...

Microsoft recently announced a significant technological breakthrough, claiming that its newly developed chip could enable the construction of quantum computers within years instead of decades. The highlight of this chip lies in its use of the world's first topological conductor, a material that creates a new state of matter that is neither solid, liquid, nor gas. This innovation makes it possible to design quantum systems that can fit on a single chip, and the chip itself is smaller than a palm. Microsoft's research has been published in the Nature Journal, and numerous experts have expressed their...

Within just six days, participants successfully bypassed all security measures of Anthropic's AI model, Claude3.5, sparking new discussions in the field of AI security. Jan Leike, a former member of OpenAI's alignment team now at Anthropic, announced on the X platform that one participant managed to breach all eight security levels. This collective effort involved approximately 3,700 hours of testing and 300,000 messages from participants. Despite the challengers

Recently, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. published a patent regarding a training method and related equipment for large language models on the Tianyancha app. The patent is titled 'Training Method, Device, Computer Equipment, and Storage Medium for Large Language Models' and aims to enhance the learning capacity and accuracy of large language models through innovative training methods. In the training process of large language models, traditional methods often rely on a single text summary, which may lead to model overfitting and negatively impact the accuracy and diversity of generated content. However, Tencent's new...

In nature, animals communicate through various sounds, from dolphins' whistles to elephants' rumbles and birds' chirps. Each sound contains specific patterns and structures. These subtle differences in sound are difficult for humans to recognize, but the pattern recognition capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) provide new possibilities for decoding these 'wild calls.' Shane Gero, a whale biologist from Carleton University in Canada, has spent 20 years studying how whales communicate. He discovered that the same...

Recently, OpenAI revealed at the C21Media conference in London that the company’s Sora video generator is set to launch an updated version. OpenAI representative Chad Nielsen stated that this new version will support three video generation methods, including: text-to-video, text and image-to-video, and text and video-to-video, with each video lasting up to one minute. It is reported that the upgraded Sora video generator has improved in efficiency and speed, with relevant API leaks.

The rapid development of generative AI has raised the challenge of comprehensively evaluating its performance. A plethora of models have emerged, each showcasing increasingly impressive results. However, the pressing question remains: how do we assess the effectiveness of these text-to-image models? Traditional evaluation methods often rely on subjective visual assessments or simple metrics like CLIPScore, which frequently fail to capture the intricate details found in complex text prompts, such as relationships between objects and logical reasoning. This leads to inaccurate evaluation outcomes for many text-to-image models.

This week, MIT showcased a new model for training robots, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by imitation learning when introduced to small obstacles. Researchers pointed out that imitation learning can fail in conditions such as varying lighting, different environments, or new obstacles because robots simply do not have enough data to adapt. The team sought powerful data methods, like those used in models such as GPT-4, to tackle the problem. They introduced a new architecture called the Heterogeneous Pretrained Transformer (HPT), which aggregates information from different sensors and environments.

Biotechnology company Chai Discovery has received nearly $30 million in investment from Thrive Capital and OpenAI within six months of its founding. The company focuses on the application of biotechnology in drug development, developing innovative technologies that can predict biochemical molecular structures and reprogram molecular interactions, aiming to transform biology into 'engineering.' Chai Discovery's goal is to accelerate and optimize the drug development process by enhancing drug molecule design through technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Tokyo-based AI development company Sakana AI has announced the completion of a $100 million Series A financing round, with investors including NEA, Khosla Ventures, Lux Capital, and NVIDIA. Sakana AI focuses on nature-inspired intelligence and model optimization, particularly in evolutionary optimization and sparsity. The partnership with NVIDIA will provide advanced GPU technology support and access to Japanese data centers, aimed at promoting AI research and innovation. Collaboration goals include advancing research and leveraging NVIDIA's infrastructure.

During the themed event on 'The Deep Empowerment of AI Technology in Primary and Secondary Education', Li Ying, CEO of Baidu Xiao Du Technology, shared the latest developments in Xiao Du's education business. As of July 2024, the Xiao Du Learning Machine has surpassed 2 million cumulative users, with more than 50% being daily active users, indicating its popularity. The usage rate of AI teachers has increased by 3.5 times compared to traditional methods, with users spending an additional 25% time on the learning machine, totaling 114 minutes per day. Notably, during the immersive interactive preview section for Chinese language, the average usage time reached 22 minutes.

Text-to-SQL technology allows ordinary users to query databases easily through natural language, but accurately converting complex database structures into SQL commands poses challenges. A research team from South China University of Technology and Tsinghua University has proposed a new method—MAG-SQL (Multi-Agent Generative Model), aimed at enhancing the accuracy of this process. MAG-SQL achieves this through the collaboration of multiple agents, including a 'Soft Pattern Linker', a 'Goal-Condition Decomposer', a 'Sub-SQL Generator', and a 'Sub-SQL Refiner'.

The academic community is currently facing a controversy over data usage rights, as many academic publishers begin to package and sell research paper data to technology companies for training AI models. This action has sparked widespread discussion. Deals between Taylor and Francis and Microsoft, as well as Wiley and another company, have led to academic achievements being used to enhance AI systems. This practice has caused waves in the research community. Experts point out that once papers are used for training, it is difficult to remove them later, and the widespread acquisition of datasets enables AI models to learn and generate high-quality text.
