Chinese tech giants like Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), and ByteDance have placed over $16 billion in orders for Nvidia’s (NVDA) H20 AI chips during the first quarter of 2025, according to The Information. The rush in demand comes amid concerns that the U.S. may soon ban the sale of these chips to China. While Nvidia has not commented, these orders could significantly boost revenue if the company manages to deliver the chips before any restrictions take effect.Don’t Miss Our End of Quarter Offers: The H20 is currently allowed in China, but it’s less powerful than Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are…

But a collaboration between Google’s Cloud and DeepMind research divisions didn’t only rely on off-the-shelf AI-upscaling techniques to create a new version of The Wizard of Oz with enough resolution for the Sphere’s 16,000 pixel by 16,000 pixel screen. The team at Google used “fine-tuned Gemini models, Veo 2, and Imagen 3 to intelligently enhance the film’s resolution, extend backgrounds, and digitally recreate existing characters who would otherwise not appear on the same screen.”To make audiences feel more immersed as if they were part of the movie, scenes that originally cut back and forth between characters due to framing limitations…

Existing reasoning evaluation frameworks for Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) predominantly either assess text-based reasoning or vision-language understanding capabilities, with limited dynamic interplay between textual and visual constraints. To address this limitation, we introduce CrossWordBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate the reasoning capabilities of both LLMs and LVLMs through the medium of crossword puzzles-a task requiring multimodal adherence to semantic constraints from text-based clues and intersectional constraints from visual grid structures. CrossWordBench leverages a controllable puzzle generation framework that produces puzzles in multiple formats (text and image) and offers different evaluation strategies ranging from direct puzzle…

IBL News | New York Stability AI released in research preview mode this week Stable Virtual Camera, a model that transforms 2D images into immersive 3D scenes with realistic depth and perspective. With its tool, Stability is adding generative AI to virtual cameras, often used in digital filmmaking and 3D animation to capture and navigate scenes in real-time. The model is available for research use under a noncommercial license. It can be downloaded on Hugging Face, and the code is accessible on GitHub. The full research paper is here. “We invite the research community to explore its capabilities and contribute to…

Almost a fortnight ago, a wave of pastel-coloured, soft dreamscapes took over our social media timelines. These portraits, with their glimmering eyes, lush scenery, and whimsical touches, were reminiscent of the deft hand of Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, the creator of enduring masterpieces such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.But as timelines filled with Ghibli-inspired creations, a thornier conversation began taking root. Some critics and legal observers raised questions about the permissibility of using prompts like ‘Ghibli-style’ or ‘anime-inspired’ in AI tools. Is this art, homage, or something closer to infringement? Could AI tools or their users be…
