Chinese Researchers Develop New Chip that Mimics the Human Visual System, Tackling a Major Hurdle for AI

Chinese researchers have made a significant leap in brain-inspired chip technology with Tianmoc. This new chip, unveiled by Tsinghua University, mimics the human visual system for superior performance in complex environments.

Traditional chips struggle with sudden light changes or interference

Tianmoc tackles a major hurdle for AI – visual perception. Traditional chips struggle with sudden light changes or interference, hindering self-driving cars and other applications. Tianmoc boasts high-speed, high-precision processing at low power consumption, excelling in these challenging scenarios.

China chip

Inspired by the human brain, Tianmoc breaks down visual information into “primitives” that are then combined, mimicking human perception. This “dual-pathway” approach surpasses traditional methods and ensures system stability.

Beyond self-driving cars and robots, Tianmoc has the potential to revolutionize everyday devices like smartphones, offering new features as production costs decrease.

This research builds on the team’s prior success with Tianjic, another brain-inspired chip. They envision Tianmoc and its predecessors creating a comprehensive “brain-like intelligence ecosystem” that could pave the way for artificial general intelligence, a type of AI that learns and reasons like humans.

Tianmoc marks a significant step towards a future powered by original, brain-inspired AI technology, with the potential to solve complex problems and create groundbreaking applications.

Apple is Reportedly Adding New Text Effects for Messages with iOS 18

Apple is bringing a new iMessage experience in iOS 18! The company is rumored to be introducing even more new text effects that could stylize messages, even when sending to Android users.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • Animated Text: Say goodbye to static text messages. iOS 18’s iMessage might allow you to animate individual words within a sentence. Imagine sending a “Happy Birthday” with the word “Happy” exploding in a shower of confetti, or a “Congrats” highlighted by shimmering fireworks. MacRumors reports that these effects would be a step beyond the existing whole-message animations like balloons and confetti showers.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: This is where things get interesting. While iMessage currently limits fancy effects to iPhone users, Apple’s confirmation of RCS messaging support in iOS 18 raises the possibility that these new text effects could be sent and viewed on Android devices as well. RCS (Rich Communication Services) is a messaging standard that aims to bridge the gap between SMS and iMessage features.
Apple

Beyond these text effects, the rumor mill also suggests that iOS 18’s iMessage could leverage Apple’s growing AI capabilities in exciting ways. Imagine prompting iMessage to generate an image based on your description, and then seamlessly sending it within your message.

With the official iOS 18 reveal expected at WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference) coming up soon, we shouldn’t have to wait long for confirmation of these features and more.

US’ loss, Saudi Arabia’s gain – BYD opens first EV showroom in Riyadh

Global leading electric vehicles manufacturer BYD has opened its outlet in Saudi Arabia. The company has been struggling under tough Sino-US relations and stringent tariffs preventing its progression to the US market. The BYD shop is located in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The store integrates a flagship showroom, a discovery center, and a service center.

BYD

The new BYD store offers a full range of new energy vehicles by the brand for local consumers. Participants at the opening ceremony were allowed to have a close look and also test drive three all-electric BYD vehicles. The vehicles were the Han, BYD ATTO3 (or Yuan PLUS), and BYD Seal. Participants were also offered the opportunity to test drive two plug-in hybrid vehicles – the Qin PLUS and Song PLUS.

The strong debut of BYD in the Saudi EV market comes at an opportune time and aligns with the Saudi government’s goals to achieve a 30% prevalence of new electric vehicles. BYD will work with Al-Futtaim to continue to develop a new energy vehicle ecosystem and jointly promote the rapid development of the local EV industry. The BYD brand was officially launched in February 2024 and it has received positive feedback from consumers on its NEV offerings in the Saudi market. The models on offer come with outstanding designs and offer excellent performance, in sync with the BYD philosophy.

Recent research by Ipsos showed that up to 62% of Saudi consumers are attracted to BYD’s cutting-edge technology and show strong love for the brand. The entry of the brand into the very lucrative Saudi market while BYD still stays out of the US market. A stringent tariff regime in the US has effectively prevented the brand from setting up shop in the US but its operations in Saudi Arabia are blossoming.

To clarify, the tipster has confirmed June 13th to be the Indian launch date of the series, which apparently will come with at least three models. We can expect them to be called the Oppo F27, F27 Pro, and F27 Pro+.

The leak from earlier today claims that the Oppo F27 Pro will feature an IP69 certification for dust and water resistance. The phone is also said to feature a 3D curved AMOLED display. Other details are still under wraps, however, if the Oppo F27 Pro does turn out to be a rebrand of the Chinese OPPO A3 Pro, then we can expect it to feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 950 nits refresh rate.

Apple’s Vision Pro Headset will Likely See a Global Launch This July

Apple‘s mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, is setting its sights on a global launch this July, according to sources familiar with the matter. Here’s a closer look:

The sales of Vision Pro have stabilized, and even decreased since the launch

This news comes after interest in the Vision Pro softened in the US market. Apple is hoping a July release in international markets, likely sometime in the third or fourth week, will reignite consumer interest. An official launch date might even be revealed during Apple’s WWDC keynote on June 10th. This global launch comes later than some analysts predicted, with Guo Mingchi expecting a release before WWDC.

Apple-Vision-Pro

Hints of the global launch are already appearing in some Apple Stores. For instance, UK stores have received a large shipment of sofas, presumably for Vision Pro demonstrations, although staff are currently restricted from opening the boxes. Additionally, Apple Stores are revamping their Avenues areas to better display Vision Pro accessories, suggesting a visual refresh planned for July.

The high price tag of $3,500 remains a potential barrier to adoption for the headset, and Apple has yet to announce pricing for international markets. There’s still a chance that the WWDC keynote might shed light on this.

The path to launch in China seems clear as the Vision Pro has passed the country’s 3C certification.

Leaks suggest that other countries expected to receive the Vision Pro after WWDC include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. With the WWDC just around the corner, we can expect to hear more details about the official launch date and international pricing for the Apple Vision Pro.

Canon Teases Launch of a New EOS C Movie Camera on June 5, Likely to be the EOS C70 Mark II

Canon dropped a teaser image today hinting at the release of a new EOS C movie camera on June 5th. While details are scarce, the image suggests it might be the long-rumored EOS C70 Mark II.

The teaser image has the silhouette of the camera resembling the existing EOS C70

The teaser image features text in Japanese that translates to “Cinema” and “June 5th,” with a countdown timer underneath. The silhouette of the camera itself closely resembles the existing EOS C70, a full-frame mirrorless camera designed for filmmakers and cinematographers. This has led many to believe the upcoming release will be the EOS C70 Mark II, an update to the popular camera.

The original EOS C70 boasts a Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor capable of over 16 stops of dynamic range. It also features Canon’s unique Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology for sharp focus, even when recording at high frame rates.

With the official announcement set for June 5th, we can expect to learn more about the rumored EOS C70 Mark II’s features, specifications, and pricing in the coming days. Stay tuned for updates!
