Jiwei.com reported that on the evening of August 14th, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi, said in his annual speech that Xiaomi fully embraces large models. The latest large model with 1.3 billion parameters has successfully run locally on the mobile phone, and some scenes can be compared to the 6 billion parameter model. The result of running in the cloud. Xiao Ai has upgraded the large model, and invites to test it today.
Lei Jun said that Xiaomi’s R&D investment in 2023 is expected to reach 20 billion. Currently, the number of global patent authorizations is 32,000+, and the 5G standard essential patent statement is valid for 4.1% of the global patent families. Xiaomi has laid out 12 technical fields and 99 subdivided tracks, and will invest 100 billion yuan in technology in the next five years. In terms of AI, Xiaomi has been laying out since July 2016, and established a large-scale model team in April this year, with more than 3,000 AI-related teams.

this is kind of interesting. Now that Huawei came out with Xiaoyi, everyone else is going to have to talk about it even if what they have is not on the same level or worth talking about yet.

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts launched a Chinese AI model capable of predicting global weather on its website late last month.

The model, Pangu-Weather, was developed by

In an exclusive interview with the South China Morning Post on August 4, Huawei’s chief scientist for AI, Tian Qi, discussed the cooperation between the two organisations, as well as the potential for

iFlyTek out with Spark model 2.0. A lot of interesting stuff in there. All use Huawei hardware tech behind it (including the developer box which uses Kunpeng CPU & Ascend NPU)
After watching their presentation, I think the voice assistance is quite impressive in understanding+carrying out voice commands. This is expected to help schools & businesses.

The ability to look at a picture and create & tell a story is also impressive. Could be great for families reading books to kids

Spark Model can create AIGC contents in perfect English. Would be ideal for advertising from corporations & travel agencies

It also has a language teacher that can be used to learn English & Chinese. In general, iFlyTek showcased how AI tools can be used as education tools.

The AI machine they came out is also quite interesting. They really emphasized about it being fully domestic, using domestic technology (Huawei, ascend, Mindspore, high speed comunication & distributed storage combined with iFlyTek’s LLM training platform) and cannot be sanctioned. It’s kind of like iFlyTek’s A100 DGX.

Saudi Arabia and UAE race to buy Nvidia chips to power AI ambitions​

This is interesting. The Saudi AI research center is primarily staffed by Chinese,I didn't even realize China already started to export AI talents abroad

According to people familiar with the moves, Saudi Arabia has bought at least 3,000 of Nvidia’s H100 chips — a $40,000 processor described by Nvidia chief Jensen Huang as “the world’s first computer [chip] designed for generative AI” — via the public research institution King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust).

The Saudi LLM is being developed by the Provable Responsible AI and Data Analytics lab at Kaust, which is primarily staffed by Chinese researchers.

Many Chinese nationals with AI expertise have chosen to work at Kaust because they have been prevented from studying and working in the US after graduating from Chinese universities on the US entity list, according to two Kaust sources.

BrainCog: A spiking neural network based, brain-inspired cognitive intelligence engine for brain-inspired AI and brain simulation​

Highlights​

  • BrainCog is an integrated platform for brain-inspired AI and brain simulation
  • BrainCog offers a variety of universal foundational components
  • BrainCog supports diverse cognitive functions in various domains
  • BORN integrates BrainCog’s cognitive functions to create advanced AI

The bigger picture​

To integrate the scientific exploration of the nature of biological intelligence and develop artificial intelligence (AI), the research community urgently requires an open-source platform that can simultaneously support brain-inspired AI and brain simulation across multiple scales. To meet this need, we release a spiking neural network (SNN)-based, brain-inspired cognitive intelligence engine (BrainCog) that provides a variety of universal essential components, including spiking neurons, encoding strategies, learning rules, brain areas, and hardware-software co-design. With these easy-to-use components, BrainCog incorporates numerous brain-inspired AI models that cover five categories of brain-inspired cognitive functions. It also supports multi-scale brain structure and function simulation. We also provide BORN, an SNN-driven, brain-inspired AI engine that integrates multiple BrainCog components and cognitive functions to build advanced AI models and robotics applications.
