NO.1 Apple Releases Open-Source AI Models

Apple has released several open-source large language models (LLMs) called OpenELM on the Hugging Face platform, with parameters ranging from 270 million to 3 billion. Analysts believe that this move shows that Apple is firmly focused on "making AI run locally on Apple devices."

Commentary: This shows that Apple is making local AI execution its goal and is expected to have an impact on the development of device-side AI.

NO.2 AI Virtual Human Can Accurately Express Human Emotions

On April 24, the AI technology of British startup Synthesia received a major upgrade. The company's fourth-generation AI virtual human can now accurately express human emotions. Synthesia claims that its latest virtual human, EXPRESS-1, blurs the lines between the virtual world and real people and is the world's first facial expression-rich AI virtual image. In the released demo video, staff members entered text expressing different emotions, such as "I'm happy, I'm sad, and I'm frustrated," and then the AI virtual human was able to read the text aloud with the corresponding emotion.

Commentary: Synthesia's AI technology will have a major impact on the entire virtual human field.

NO.5 AI Successfully Rewrites Human DNA

The world's first molecularly precise gene editor designed from scratch using AI has been created. Gene editing startup Fluent announced that it has open-sourced the world's first AI-designed gene editor and has successfully edited DNA in human cells. Researchers trained LLMs on the most comprehensive dataset of CRISPR-based gene editing systems to date. The proteins produced by these LLMs expanded the diversity of almost all naturally occurring CRISPR-Cas families by 4.8 times. In addition, the gene editor showed activity and specificity in human cells that were equal to or better than the SpCas9 gene editor.

Commentary: This gene editor expands the diversity of the CRISPR-Cas family and will have a revolutionary impact on the field of gene editing.
