Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Zhipu on Friday debuted its video generation model, in the latest sign that local tech firms are gaining ground in the AI video arena. The Ying text-to-video model accepts both text and image prompts to generate six second video clips in around 30 seconds. Users can fine-tune the results with style options that include 3D animation, cinematic or oil painting look, as well as emotional themes such as tense, lively and lonely. The service, accessible through the official website and mobile apps of Zhipu AI’s ChatGLM chatbot, was made immediately available to all users for…

TeEFusion enhances text-to-image synthesis by efficiently incorporating classifier-free guidance into text embeddings, reducing inference costs without sacrificing image quality. Recent advances in text-to-image synthesis largely benefit from sophisticated sampling strategies and classifier-free guidance (CFG) to ensure high-quality generation. However, CFG’s reliance on two forward passes, especially when combined with intricate sampling algorithms, results in prohibitively high inference costs. To address this, we introduce TeEFusion (Text Embeddings Fusion), a novel and efficient distillation method that directly incorporates the guidance magnitude into the text embeddings and distills the teacher model’s complex sampling strategy. By simply fusing conditional and unconditional text embeddings using…

What if coding could be faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever before? Enter Qwen 3 Coder, a new open source large language model (LLM) developed by Alibaba. With a staggering 480 billion parameters and the ability to handle up to 256,000 tokens in a single context, this model isn’t just another incremental upgrade—it’s a seismic shift in how developers approach programming. Imagine crafting complex, scalable applications or automating tedious coding tasks with precision, all while using a tool that rivals the best proprietary models out there. And here’s the kicker: it’s completely free and open source, inviting developers worldwide…

Artificial intelligence (AI) titan Nvidia is priced for perfection in an imperfect market. For nearly three years, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has dominated discussion on Wall Street. The prospect of AI-empowered software and systems making split-second decisions without the oversight of humans is a game-changer that the analysts at PwC believe can add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by the turn of the decade. No company has been a more direct beneficiary of the evolution of AI than Nvidia (NVDA 1.75%). Since 2023 began, Nvidia has gone from being a tech company of fringe importance to the…

While he first went to work warning about the rise of AI scams, his speech has covered a wide range of concerns.He warned of his vision of an AI-dominated future where entire categories of jobs would be taken over, presidents follow the suggestions of ChatGPT, and AI is used for war and injustice.It’s a pretty bleak image, and possibly one of the darker warnings from inside…

Earlier this week, Anthropic received a $2.5 billion, five-year revolving credit line. Annualized revenue reached $2 billion in the first quarter, the company confirmed, more than doubling from a $1 billion rate in the prior period. OpenAI announced a $4 billion credit facility last October. Earlier this week, Anthropic received a $2.5 billion, five-year revolving credit line to amp up its liquidity in an ever-expanding — and expensive — competition in the artificial intelligence industry. Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI research executives, launched its Claude chatbot in March 2023. The company closed its latest funding round in March at a $61.5 billion valuation, and…

IBM just posted a solid second quarter with cash generation staying strong, the company has raised its 2025 free cash flow forecast to over $13.5 billion. The update reflects IBM’s confidence in the direction of modernizing its offerings and strengthening its cloud and enterprise tech portfolio. The company delivered a strong second quarter, with GAAP revenue climbing 8% year-over-year to $16.98 billion beating the Street’s forecast of $16.59 billion. The predicted $2.65 was much exceeded by the $2.80 non-GAAP earnings per share.

Google announced on Thursday that it’s launching a new AI feature that lets users virtually try on clothes. The tech giant is also rolling out updated price alerts and teased an upcoming feature that will let users explore shoppable outfits and room inspiration using generative imagery. The official launch of the virtual try-on feature comes two months after Google began testing it. The feature works by allowing users to upload a photo of themselves to virtually try on a piece of clothing. The feature is launching in the United States today, letting users try on apparel items in Google’s Shopping…

The UK’s High Court has rejected a final appeal by the Icelandic artist Oddur Eysteinn Friðriksson, known as ODEE. He was trying to retain ownership of a conceptual artwork in the form of a website apologizing on behalf of Iceland’s largest fishing company, Samherji, for its alleged role in the so-called Fishrot scandal.ODEE made the work, titled We’re Sorry, in 2023. It was a fake UK-registered website replicating Samherji’s official website, but with the artwork’s title plastered in large font across the homepage.The Fishrot scandal takes its name from a cache of over 30,000 documents leaked by a former Samherij…

Cohere cofounders Ivan Zhang, Nick Frosst, and Aidan Gomez.Cohere Companies will soon focus on customizing AI solutions for specific needs, Cohere’s CEO says. AI 2.0 will “help fundamentally transform how businesses operate,” he wrote. Major AI companies like OpenAI are also releasing tools for customization. If this was the year companies adopted AI to stay competitive, next year will likely be about customizing AI solutions for their specific needs. “The next phase of development will move beyond generic LLMs towards tuned and highly optimized end-to-end solutions that address the specific objectives of a business,” Aidan Gomez, the CEO and cofounder…
