China’s leading tech firms, including ByteDance, Alibaba (HK:9988), and Tencent (HK:0700), have reportedly stockpiled close to one million units of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) H20 AI chips in anticipation of tightened U.S. export restrictions, according to Nikkei Asia. The bulk purchases—valued at over $12 billion—aimed to secure nearly a year’s supply before the April export ban took effect. The H20 chip, a scaled-down version of Nvidia’s high-performance H100, is tailored to meet U.S. export controls and is widely used for AI inference tasks. Demand for AI computing in China is soaring, driven by the rapid growth of AI-powered applications like DeepSeek, now…

We introduce CameraBench, a large-scale dataset and benchmark designed to assess and improve camera motion understanding. CameraBench consists of ~3,000 diverse internet videos, annotated by experts through a rigorous multi-stage quality control process. One of our contributions is a taxonomy of camera motion primitives, designed in collaboration with cinematographers. We find, for example, that some motions like “follow” (or tracking) require understanding scene content like moving subjects. We conduct a large-scale human study to quantify human annotation performance, revealing that domain expertise and tutorial-based training can significantly enhance accuracy. For example, a novice may confuse zoom-in (a change of intrinsics)…

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…
