Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials, creating a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic materials, including 25 previously unrecognized compounds that remain magnetic even at high temperatures.Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have harnessed artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery of new functional magnetic materials, creating a searchable database of 67,573 magnetic materials, including 25 previously unrecognized compounds that remain magnetic even at high temperatures.Engineering[#item_full_content]
SoftBank is back, and the AI hype cycle is eating itself
SoftBank and OpenAI announced a new 50-50 joint venture this week to sell enterprise AI tools in Japan under the brand “Crystal Intelligence.” On paper, it’s a straightforward international expansion deal. But SoftBank’s role as a major investor in OpenAI is raising questions about whether AI’s biggest deals are creating real economic value or just moving money in circles.

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Hyun Oh Song from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has developed a new AI technology called KVzip that intelligently compresses the conversation memory of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots used in long-context tasks such as extended dialog and document summarization. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Hyun Oh Song from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering has developed a new AI technology called KVzip that intelligently compresses the conversation memory of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots used in long-context tasks such as extended dialog and document summarization.

When users ask ChatGPT to generate an image in a Ghibli style, the actual image is created by DALL-E, a tool powered by diffusion models. Although these models produce stunning images—such as transforming photos into artistic styles, creating personalized characters, or rendering realistic landscapes—they also face certain limitations. These include occasional errors, like three-fingered hands or distorted faces, and challenges in running on devices with limited computational resources, like smartphones, due to their massive number of parameters.When users ask ChatGPT to generate an image in a Ghibli style, the actual image is created by DALL-E, a tool powered by diffusion models.
