Face Wall Intelligence releases the Eurux-8x22B open source large model - it can be called the "science champion"
Face Wall Intelligence recently released the open source large model Eurux-8x22B, including Eurux-8x22B-NCA and Eurux-8x22B-KTO, focusing on reasoning capabilities. The official introduction said:
Compared with the well-known Llama3-70B, Eurux-8x22B was released earlier and has similar overall performance, especially stronger inference performance - refreshing the SOTA inference performance of open source large models, and can be called the "science champion" among open source large models.
Eurux-8x22B surpassed Llama3-70B in LeetCode (180 real LeetCode programming questions) and TheoremQA tests, and surpassed the closed-source GPT-3.5-Turbo in LeetCode tests.
Arc Browser for Windows 1.0 officially GA
Arc Browser is officially open to all Windows 11 users ( only supports Windows 11, support for Windows 10 is still under development). The browser developer The Browser Company began testing the Windows client in December last year, and more than 150,000 people are currently using it.
The biggest difference of Arc Browser is the introduction of the "Space" concept (similar to "Groups"). Users can create different "Spaces" to meet the browsing needs of different scenarios. The URL collection under each Space can be shared with others at once. .
58 lines of code scale Llama 3 to 1 million contexts, any fine-tuned version is applicable
Llama 3, the majestic king of open source, the original context window is only... 8k, which makes me swallow back the words "it smells so good".
Today, when 32k is the starting point and 100k is common, is this intentional to leave room for contributions to the open source community?
The open source community certainly didn't miss this opportunity: now with just 58 lines of code, any fine-tuned version of Llama 3 70b can automatically scale to 1048k (one million) contexts.

Open Source Rabbit R1
An artificial intelligence assistant made with Apple Shortcuts, Cloudflare Workers and llama 3.
Shortcuts provides automatic speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS) and HTTP request functions, which basically cover all the functions we need locally. You can also bind a shortcut action to your iPhone's action button for quick access even when the screen is locked.
Next, the author simply wrote a Cloudflare Worker, which receives the text from the shortcut action, sends it to llama 3 for processing, and then returns the function call result.
Although this is just a basic example, it can be extended to include more complex function calls and data storage.
It’s more responsive than any AI wearable and requires no additional hardware or monthly fees.

An old coder has been lurking in Google for seventeen years and summed up the secrets to success. The first two are actually...?
I've found that most of the skills I learned in my career are just as useful in my new job. Two of them are particularly useful:
If there's something that most people say can't be done, don't listen to the majority. Take action when it's time to do it, and you'll be in a hurry.
Everything starts from first principles and solves problems essentially.

Tragically, Rabbit R1 continues to be skinned: the AI trend has transformed overnight, NFT recharge users are crying without tears, and the large action models are also in shells
Not only has the APP been criticized for being a rip-off of Android, but the popular big action model LAM relies on the OpenAI interface, and now the company has also been criticized for being fishy——
Rabbit company was originally engaged in the metaverse, but changed its name and switched to AI? !
This startup that once focused on NFT games transformed into an AI terminal (i.e. R1) last year. And after the transformation, it was suspected of "deleting the account and running away", leaving a bunch of users who had paid for it.
You know, GAMA, launched by Rabbit’s predecessor, is a game that requires prepayment to purchase NFTs. Some of the NFTs sell for as much as 2,000+ US dollars (equivalent to more than 20,000 RMB).
Recalling that Rabbit also requires prepayment, netizens asked: If the CEO runs away again, what value will Rabbit R1 have?

Shanghai's artificial intelligence industry is entering a period of concentrated explosion. 24 large models have passed national registration
Zhang Ying, director of the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, said when participating in the 2024 Shanghai People's Livelihood Interview column that artificial intelligence is one of the three leading industries that Shanghai will unswervingly develop, and it is also a top priority in cultivating new productive forces. Artificial intelligence is currently entering a period of concentrated explosion. In November last year, Shanghai released "11 measures" to promote the innovative development of large models, making a comprehensive layout in terms of computing power, corpus, models, testing, etc. At present, 24 large models including the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory's "Scholar" and SenseTime's "Consultation" have passed national registration, ranking second in the country, forming a "1+4" general large model pattern (1 open source, 2 commercial , 2 models under development), reflecting the in-depth application in the industry. This year, general large-scale models are gradually converging, and a large number of vertical models focusing on manufacturing, finance, government affairs, etc. are accelerating.

Google removes Android Common Kernel (ACK) support for RISC-V architecture
A series of patches recently merged by Google's Android system upstream - AOSP have removed support for the RISC-V architecture from the Android universal kernel. The Android common kernel is the Common Android Kernel, also known as the AOSP common kernel or ACK.
Since ACK has removed support for RISC-V, companies and institutions that want to compile the Android RISC-V version immediately need to create and maintain their own Linux branches to further integrate RISC-V patches.
Review
RISC-V, as an open standard, has yet to materialize in smartphone applications despite international support and collaboration. Google's decision may have an impact on the application of RISC-V architecture in the smartphone field.
And many chip manufacturers and processor designers have already invested in the future development of the RISC-V architecture. For example, Qualcomm is developing RISC-V chips for Wear OS. Google's decision may have an impact on these chip manufacturers.
Additionally, the RISC-V architecture is seen as competition to the ARM architecture. Google's decision may also affect RISC-V's competitiveness in the SSD controller market.
Microsoft's investment in OpenAI may be due to concerns about Google's AI progress
A letter titled "Thoughts" between Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, CEO Satya Nadella and co-founder Bill Gates on OpenAI” internal emails reveal some of the high-level discussions surrounding investment opportunities in the months before Microsoft disclosed the partnership.
"We are years behind our competitors when it comes to machine learning scale," Scott wrote in a June 12, 2019 email to Nadella and Gates. It detailed how Microsoft engineers spent six months replicating and training Google's BERT language model "because our infrastructure was not up to the task."
Review
Microsoft's investment in OpenAI reflects its awareness of its relative backwardness in the field of artificial intelligence and its pursuit of technological leadership. The investment decision may be related to Microsoft's anxiety about Google's lead in artificial intelligence technology, highlighting the battle for market dominance.
Microsoft's investment in OpenAI, along with Google's leadership in artificial intelligence, underscore the strategic importance of artificial intelligence technology in today's technology industry. Cooperation and competition among large technology companies, and how they balance these relationships, is an important issue behind this incident.
In addition, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's investigation of major players in the generative AI market also shows regulatory agencies' concerns about market competition and investment cooperation. This incident also reflects the profound impact that artificial intelligence technology may have on future social and business environments.
A programmer born in the 1990s developed a video porting software and made over 7 million in profit in less than a year. The ending was very punishing!
CCTV's "Today's Statement" column recently reported a case in which a programmer born in the 1990s made more than 7 million in less than a year by developing illegal video transfer software and was eventually sentenced.
A well-known domestic short video platform reported to the police that someone was selling an illegal software on the Internet. People who use the software can bypass the review mechanism of their platform and directly steal other people's works for publication. An investigation by the police in Taizhou, Zhejiang found that behind this was an illegal and criminal industrial chain. The upstream of the criminal gang developed and produced illegal software and evaded platform supervision by changing the code of the short video platform.
Review
This case highlights the importance of protecting intellectual property rights, especially today as digitization and networking become more common. While entrepreneurship is encouraged, it is crucial to choose legal and compliant projects; emphasizing the ethical responsibility of individuals in cybersecurity, serious legal risks may lie behind even seemingly harmless actions.
On the other hand, with the development of technology, the law may not be able to keep up with the speed of technology application, resulting in a lack of legal supervision. It also reflects the importance of network supervision and platform security. Platforms need to strengthen technical measures to prevent such illegal activities from occurring.

OpenAI’s AI search is coming, but do we need so many AI searches?
Although AI search technology is very powerful and valuable, from the perspective of user experience, habits and enterprise resource allocation, it may be more reasonable to use it as a feature to enhance existing products rather than develop it as an independent search product. direction. This will not only better meet user needs, but is also a better choice for enterprises.
It seems that AI search is still far from the Killer App in the era of generative artificial intelligence, and it may not even be an ideal business. We don’t need so many AI search products, but we need more AI search Features.

Microsoft’s anxiety and ambitions can no longer be hidden
Although AI startups are still in the stage of making ends meet and struggling to explore profit models, the AI craze has made AI infrastructure providers who provide computing power and data a lot of money. Observing the two main lines of Microsoft's AI investment, the leader's ambitions are also clear: on the one hand, it maintains its advantages in generative AI technology through external investment or direct "merger" of AI start-ups; on the other hand, through vigorous layout AI infrastructure, focus on the cloud computing market, and create a stronger performance growth curve.

User point of view
The “35-year-old curse” of Chinese coders
- Point of view 1: Newcomers are not cheap nowadays. After working for a few years, their salary is almost the same as that of an old person.
- Viewpoint 2: Wouldn’t it be better to fire the boss?
- Viewpoint 3: Therefore, strict implementation of the 8-hour work system can save the 35-year-old crisis
- Viewpoint 4: During the project, I came into contact with several front-line technical personnel from foreign companies. One of the foreign project leaders is over 60 years old and is still coding. This is the gap.
- Viewpoint 5: If you don’t work overtime, the cost-effectiveness of young people and middle-aged people will be almost the same.
- Point 6: You won’t be 18 forever, but someone will always be 18
- Point of view 7: It’s not just programmers, the IT industry is like this
- Opinion 8: Young people are motivated, let them rush first and cause problems, and we old people will come out to wipe the butt. The young people will get the opportunity to exercise, and the old people will keep their jobs. It is great to kill two birds with one stone.
- Viewpoint 9: Ha, in an environment with a low birth rate, but also wanting a younger workforce is inherently conflicting. Furthermore, if the work requires overtime to complete, it is either due to lack of ability or the incompetence of the company.
- Opinion 10: Working at 35 is too old, and retiring at 60 is too early.
Former Microsoft engineer says Windows 11 performance is ridiculously poor, no wonder market share continues to decline
- Opinion 1: A former Microsoft engineer said that the performance of Windows 11 is ridiculous. No wonder the market share continues to decline, so he is now a former Microsoft engineer.
- Viewpoint 2: The only problem with Microsoft is that it has no taste at all...
- Viewpoint 3: Resource management is often stuck, and open software is often stuck.
- Viewpoint 4: Linux cannot create this kind of graphical interface
- Viewpoint 5: Use Win11 to let more users use Win10
- Opinion 6: I also think this menu is outrageous. At first I thought it was a problem with my mouse.
- Viewpoint 7: Microsoft’s focus is on cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
- Point of view 8: No matter win10 or 11. There is always something that I don’t understand. Why does it take longer and longer to boot up and enter the desktop? After pressing the power button, the hard disk light was almost always on. It felt like the computer was struggling to get to the desktop. Even if it enters the desktop, the hard drive will still work crazily for a while before it stops. As for the boot process, do you have to do so many things? I use a normal ssd.
- Viewpoint 9: The law that one version of Windows is good and one version is bad has not been broken yet.
- Opinion 10: Nowadays, new machines are pre-installed with win11. I don’t understand how the share of win10 has increased? Are there a large number of systems being downgraded? It feels like it's just a matter of statistics.
A programmer born in the 1990s quit his job to start a gray business: he developed video transfer software and made over 7 million in less than a year. The ending was very punishing!
- Viewpoint 1: Luban No. 7 has no technical content but has saved many people. 1.0 replaced the cached video to be released. The last updated Ragnarok version was to replace the video template. At that time, it was the era of live broadcast slicing. A mobile phone sold tens of thousands a day (think about the matrix profit yourself). ) Only those who understand know the value generated by Luban No. 7. The card I sold at that time made many people turn over and take a breath.
- Viewpoint 2: Is this considered surrender?
- Viewpoint 3: What’s amazing is his sales, selling 200,000 copies a year. What can I do if I have such sales ability?
- Viewpoint 4: The videos he stole were the hard work of unknown original authors. There is no so-called income, it is just robbery.
- Viewpoint 5: This can earn more than 7 million? I really don’t find this technique difficult, but I admire this guy’s sales skills.
- Viewpoint 6: Yes, many people don’t realize that acquiring customers is much more difficult than coding…
- Viewpoint 7: If income is not directly proportional to expenditure, some evil thoughts will arise.
- Point of view 8: The correct way to operate is to join a company with a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan. The work is very easy. The boss likes to watch short videos, so he will share the download software he developed with the boss "for free". After working for half a year, the company went bankrupt, but the salary of 300,000 yuan had been paid. Do you think he needs to take responsibility?
- Viewpoint 9: Replacing the approved video is equivalent to tampering with the database data, indicating that the video platform has exposed relevant interfaces and the video platform has many vulnerabilities.
