NO.1 Apple reportedly to optimize iOS 18 with Ajax

Apple is planning to optimize iOS 18 with its own large language model, Ajax. Siri is expected to get a major overhaul. Apple's Ajax model was first exposed in July 2023, when it was reported that the model was built on Google's Jax machine learning framework and runs on Google Cloud. Overall, it is similar to large language competitors such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing, and Google's Bard. Some engineers refer to the model as "AppleGPT".

Commentary: Apple's Ajax model could bring a revolutionary intelligent upgrade to iOS 18. Although it will not be transformed into a chatbot, it heralds significant progress for Siri.

NO.2 OpenAI CEO: Humans don't need to be afraid of superintelligent AI

In a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed the future of artificial intelligence with MIT President Sally Kornbluth. Altman said that OpenAI is "building tools for humans to use," not creating biological beings, and that humans are often biased without realizing it. Artificial intelligence is a new tool on the human technology tree, and humans need not be afraid of superintelligent AI. The shortcomings of each new model are the driving force behind its continuous iteration.

Commentary: Altman's interpretation of artificial intelligence responds to some of the more extreme theories today and may provide new ideas for ordinary people to understand artificial intelligence.

NO.3 Breakthrough in quantum simulation: atomic spacing reduced to 50 nanometers

Using a quantum simulator to arrange atoms as close together as possible can help scientists explore exotic states of matter and build new quantum materials. Traditionally, these simulators captured atoms with a spacing of at least 500 nanometers. Now, researchers at MIT have developed a new technique that breaks through this limitation and reduces the distance between atoms to 1/10 of the original, to only 50 nanometers. The study was published in the latest issue of the journal Science.

Commentary: The breakthrough made by MIT researchers in the field of quantum simulation has opened up new avenues for exploring new quantum materials and states of matter.

NO.4 Boeing Starliner to make its first manned flight

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft will make its first manned flight on Monday, carrying two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The Starliner will be launched by a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, scheduled for launch from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 10:34 p.m. EDT.

Commentary: The first manned flight of the Boeing Starliner marks another important milestone in the commercial space industry, demonstrating the impact of private companies in space exploration.
