Xiaomi Auto hosted another session of their “Q&A program” to answer user inquiries about the Xiaomi SU7 electric car. The company revealed that the SU7 prioritizes long journeys with its Super Power-Saving Mode. When the estimated range dips below 50km, the car prompts you to activate this mode, maximizing battery life. Manual activation and deactivation are also available.
The Power Saving mode also turns off heated seats and steering wheel
Super Power-Saving Mode reduces power consumption by limiting functionalities. This includes a capped speed of 90km/h, smoother acceleration, and reduced air conditioning performance. Comfort features like heated seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting, and heated mirrors are also deactivated.
To further conserve energy, the mode disables intelligent driving assistance, parking functions, entertainment systems, and even the car refrigerator. Don’t worry, Super Power-Saving Mode deactivates automatically when the estimated range climbs above 300km. Drivers can also temporarily override the speed limit for short bursts when needed.
Also, the SU7 features a camera positioned between the steering wheel and instrument screen to monitor driver alertness. This camera detects signs of fatigue or distraction like closed eyes, head turns, or phone use.
If fatigue or distraction is detected, the system issues voice warnings and displays on-screen reminders to refocus on driving. Xiaomi assures users that the system only analyzes driver behavior locally within the vehicle, with no image data recorded or transmitted externally. Users who don’t require the driver fatigue/distraction reminder can disable the function or the camera itself through the car’s central control screen settings.
Meta Platforms has unveiled details about their next-generation artificial intelligence chip, codenamed “Artemis.” This chip is designed to address the ever-increasing need for processing power required to run AI features across their social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
This launch means that Meta will rely less on external suppliers like Nvidia
The development of Artemis addresses two key goals for Meta. Firstly, it reduces their dependence on external suppliers like Nvidia for AI chips. This shift will not only give Meta more control over their hardware but also help them reduce energy costs. Secondly, according to a Meta blog post, the chip’s architecture is specifically designed to optimize the balance between computing power, memory bandwidth, and memory capacity. This makes Artemis ideal for powering ranking and recommendation systems, a critical function for social media platforms.
However, the development of Artemis doesn’t signal the end of Meta’s relationship with Nvidia. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed plans to continue acquiring a substantial number of Nvidia’s H100 flagship chips this year. Together with acqusitions from other suppliers, Meta expects to have a combined total of 600,000 AI chips in 2024.
Made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) using a 5nm process, Artemis boasts three times the performance of Meta’s first-generation AI processor. The chip is already deployed in Meta’s data centers, actively supporting various AI applications. Additionally, Meta has plans to further expand the chip’s capabilities to handle generative AI workloads in the future.

Additionally, the MIX Fold 4 includes a 60MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom, a 13MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP sensor for 5x optical zoom.
Both the inner and outer displays feature 16MP selfie cameras. The screen resolution also appears to be slightly decreased compared to the Fold 3. While these leaks are compelling, they remain unconfirmed. We’ll need to wait for the official launch date (which is still unknown) for definitive information.
