Sora-level AI video generator, AI predicts your life, breakthrough vision chips, & more!
Welcome to the AI Search newsletter. Here are the top highlights in AI this week.
Future Self Chatbot Foreshadows Your Life Ahead
Researchers have developed an AI-powered chatbot called "Future You" that allows users to converse with a virtual version of themselves in the future. The system uses a large language model to generate a personalized synthetic memory for the user's future self, based on a pre-intervention survey that gathers information on the user's goals, personal qualities, and hopes for the future. The chatbot also ages the user's portrait to increase the believability of the future-self character.
New Sora-level Video Generator Available Now
Chinese app Kuaishou has launched Kling, an AI model capable of generating high-quality 1080p videos up to 2 minutes long from text prompts, rivaling OpenAI's Sora. Kling uses a diffusion transformer model to create realistic videos with smooth movements and supports various aspect ratios. The model also boasts advanced 3D face and body reconstruction, enhancing the accuracy of expressions and limb movements.
Breakthrough Vision Chip Mimics Human Eye Perception
Researchers have developed a cutting-edge vision chip, called Tianmouc, which achieves human eye-like perception in machines. Inspired by the human visual system, the chip uses a complementary sensing paradigm to decompose visual information into primitive-based representations, enabling high-speed and low-latency visual perception. The chip can process 10,000 frames per second, with 10-bit precision and a high dynamic range of 130 dB, while reducing bandwidth by 90%. This breakthrough has significant implications for unmanned systems, such as autonomous driving and embodied intelligence.
ChatLLM by Abacus
ChatLLM by Abacus AI is an integrated platform that allows enterprises to use multiple LLMs, deploy custom agents, and collaborate with team members. Choose from state-of-the-art LLMs such as GPT-4o, Claude 3 Opus, and their new open source Smaug.
AI's Irrationality Differs from Humans' in Cognitive Psychology Tests
Researchers tested the rational reasoning abilities of LLMs using cognitive psychology tests, revealing that these AI models exhibit irrationality in their responses, but differently from humans. The study found that LLMs, like those behind ChatGPT, provided inconsistent answers to the same question, made simple mistakes, and were prone to errors. While humans also struggle with these tests, the AI models' mistakes were often due to basic misunderstandings, such as confusing consonants with vowels.
NVIDIA Unveils Rubin GPU, Vera CPU, and 1.6T Networking at Computex 2024
NVIDIA's Computex 2024 keynote has revealed several exciting announcements, including the Rubin GPU, Vera CPU, and 1.6T networking capabilities. The company highlighted its AI-powered notebooks, the Grace Blackwell GB200 production chip, and the HGX B200 15kW board. NVIDIA also showcased its 5th Gen NVLink Switch and passive NVLink spine, which enable high-speed connectivity. The company's roadmap includes plans for 800Gbps networking in 2025 and 1.6Tbps networking in 2026, with the Rubin GPU and Vera CPU expected to launch in 2026.

Using AI to Understand Your Dog
Researchers have developed an AI tool that can decode dog vocalizations, distinguishing between playful and aggressive barks, as well as identifying a dog's age, sex, and breed. By repurposing a speech processing model originally trained on human speech, the team was able to analyze a dataset of dog vocalizations and achieve accuracy rates of up to 70%. This breakthrough has implications for animal welfare, as it could improve human understanding of canine communication, leading to better care and prevention of potentially dangerous situations.
AMD Challenges Nvidia with New AI Chip Lineup
AMD has unveiled its latest line of AI chips, poised to challenge Nvidia's dominance in the market. During a keynote speech at Computex 2024, AMD CEO Lisa Su announced the company's next-generation processors, including the Instinct MI325X, which is set to be released later this year. The new chips are designed to power AI applications, from data centers to laptops, and have already gained support from major laptop manufacturers like Microsoft, HP, Lenovo, and Asus.
