Alibaba came out with another powerful vision large model. Seems just better than anything else out there across the board.

I tried its end to end audio module online and it is really good. We need audio models this good on the market. If they can ever get the size down a little bit so you can just run on a humanoid robot, it would be deadly. Right now, 30B imo is still a little large. 7B parameter is the most ideal size for edge devices.

somehow, it's OCR is better than google's OCR. which is just mind blowing.

New Qwen3 Omni version released... native audio, video, text, reasoning....

On second thought, this seems more interesting than it was on first glance.

1. This is just a technical road map that Huawei intends to do to provide hardware for AI.

2. However, looking more closely at the projections, this seems almost like an attempt to commodized AI services with this kind of vast increases in computing power. More computers begets more data which begets more AI which needs more compute, and here is Huawei saying they intend to scale it up. If this goes exponential, like it should theoretically speaking, then AI will be commodized rather quickly.

3. The United States as a whole, does not want to see AI commodization, as they want a big payout for themselves.

4. This puts a different light, on that so-called ban request by the CCP on Nvidia chips, news from the previous week. Maybe this is not a ban, it is the CCP giving advise to its other companies, that don't bother, Huawei is going beat the Americans to the punch, commodized this AI sucker, and if you spend money on Nvidia you probably will be wasting that money.

Curious times ahead.

It would appear Open AI in a hyper scaling war with Elon Musk:

Open AI still believes it can reach AGI via hyper scaling and is doubling down on the "Star Gate" projects. Naturally, this requires enormous capital. That Sam and Elon can find people to fund these projects is a testament to US financial power (the US has a reported $269 trillion in total assets across its house holds, with about half of it being borrowed money).

But one has to wonder if it's not just a greater fool cycle:


With the amount of capital being thrown around (and wasted), it is no wonder $100 million salaries for top AI talent are just a drop in the bucket. It's also a signal to how just how hopeless anyone other than China will find the "AI race" - how exactly can you even hope to compete with the level of investment and capital we're talking about?

yes, we do have a pyramid scheme going on between Nvidia and buyers. But then, there is also the xAI/Elon situation where people just give him money. All to be wasted obviously

Anyhow, Alibaba had a truly great presentation yesterday on its clouding computing plans and I have a thread here on how it is doing things.

so, I plan to do an upcoming podcast on the current AI development in China. If you are knowledgeable in this area and want to jump on to discuss things with me, feel free to pm me.

Yeah its already a 2 way race between the US and China at this moment. That much is clear at least. Europe can just look for niche sectors to focus on. The reat dont have enough scale, capital and huge talent/workforce required to compete with the US/China
