NO.1 Scientists successfully collect solar energy from space for the first time

Scientists have never stopped exploring clean and sustainable energy sources. According to foreign media, a research team from the California Institute of Technology recently took a key step in this direction. They successfully used an orbiting satellite to collect solar energy and successfully transmitted it to Earth.

Commentary: This experiment provides important data and experience for the construction and operation of future space solar power stations, and also provides new hope and direction for solving the energy crisis and environmental problems on Earth.

NO.2 Tesla reportedly has mastered video generation capabilities

After OpenAI released the text-to-video generation model Sora, Musk recently praised Tesla's real-world simulation and video generation capabilities. He said on social platform X that Tesla had the ability to generate real-world videos with accurate physical effects about a year ago, but the generated videos were not interesting because the training data came from its cars. He also said that Tesla's video generation surpasses OpenAI in that it can predict extremely accurate physical properties, which is critical for autonomous driving.

Commentary: Musk hinted at the future possibilities of Tesla in the field of video generation, perhaps leading to more competition and cooperation with OpenAI.

NO.3 EU to fine Apple for music streaming

According to foreign media, Apple is about to be fined for the first time by the European Commission, with the fine amount expected to be around 500 million euros. The fine will be part of the conclusion of the case after Spotify filed a formal lawsuit in 2019. It is reported that the EU's ruling on the music streaming case is expected to be officially announced in the next few weeks.

Commentary: The fine will damage Apple's reputation and profits, and will also促使Apple to adjust its business strategy and operating model to adapt to a more complex and diverse market environment.

NO.4 Amazon develops largest text-to-speech model

According to foreign media, an artificial intelligence research team at Amazon announced that they have developed the largest text-to-speech model ever. The so-called "largest" refers to having the most parameters and using the largest training dataset. This new model, called BASE TTS, has 980 million parameters, the largest in its class, and surpasses previous iterations in both scale and capability.

Commentary: This demonstrates Amazon's investment and strength in the field of artificial intelligence, and also sets new standards and expectations for the quality and efficiency of text-to-speech.
