A groundbreaking achievement in quantum computing has been reached with the successful fine-tuning of a billion-parameter AI model on Origin Quantum's Wukong, marking a significant milestone in the development of quantum-enhanced AI.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the release of Ocelot, a new quantum computing chip that significantly reduces the cost of error correction by approximately 90%. This breakthrough promises to accelerate advancements in the field of quantum computing.

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...

Recently, research teams from Tsinghua University, Fudan University, and Stanford University jointly released an Agent development framework called 'Eko'. This framework aims to help developers quickly build production-ready 'virtual employees' using simple code and natural language. The Eko framework can take over a user's computer and browser, performing various tedious tasks on behalf of humans. With Eko, users can achieve automated data collection, testing, and file management, among other functionalities. For instance, users can set Eko to automatically gather information from Yahoo Finance.

Google once again proves the magic of technological innovation. Today, the Willow quantum chip delivered a remarkable report card, achieving two groundbreaking breakthroughs in the field of quantum computing. Since the proposal of quantum error correction theory in 1995, scientists have been tackling the most stubborn problem in quantum computing: how to control the computational errors of quantum bits. Quantum bits are extremely fragile, easily affected by environmental noise, leading to information loss. It’s like writing in the sand; even a slight breeze can wipe it away. The Willow chip has completely changed this status quo.

The Japanese government is vigorously advancing its strategic layout for the chip and artificial intelligence industries. This fiscal year, the government will allocate an additional 1.5 trillion yen (approximately $9.9 billion) in a special budget targeting cutting-edge technology fields such as next-generation chips and quantum computers. This budget is divided into two important parts: 1.05 trillion yen will be used for the research and development of next-generation chips and quantum computers, while 471.4 billion yen will focus on supporting domestic advanced chip production. Notably, the 'moon landing plan' of Rapidus is drawing attention, although details are still pending.
