❶Apple
is said to have acquired Canadian AI startup DarwinAI to fully develop generative AI
It is reported that Apple has acquired Canadian artificial intelligence (AI) startup DarwinAI. Apple aims to make a big push into the field of generative AI this year, and its acquisition of DarwinAI adds new technology to its arsenal. DarwinAI develops AI technology that enables visual inspection of parts during the manufacturing process and serves customers in a range of industries. One of DarwinAI's core technologies makes AI systems smaller and faster, a technology that could help Apple as it focuses on running AI on devices rather than entirely in the cloud.

AI completed a new round of financing, with Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund participating in the investment
Recently, Zhipu AI, a large "Tsinghua-based" model company, stated at a small media communication meeting that the company had completed a new round of financing at the beginning of this year, and the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund participated in the financing. Zhipu AI stated that this financing will continue to be used for further research and development of large-scale base models. Public information shows that Zhipu AI is committed to building a new generation of universal cognitive intelligence models, cooperating to develop a bilingual 100-billion-level ultra-large-scale pre-training model GLM-130B, and based on this to create ChatGLM (chatglm.cn). In addition, Zhipu AI also launched Bigmodel.ai, a cognitive large model platform. (Mijing.com)

❸South
Korea’s
memory chip exports increased by 108.1% in February
Recently, preliminary verification data released by South Korea's Ministry of Science, Technology, Information and Communications on the 14th showed that South Korea's information and communication technology (ICT) exports in February were US$16.53 billion, a year-on-year increase of 29.1%, an increase of more than 20% for two consecutive months. According to analysis, the rapid expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) market has promoted the related chip industry to maintain a good growth trend, thus driving the expansion of the overall ICT market export scale. Specifically, semiconductor exports were US$9.96 billion, a year-on-year surge of 62.9%, maintaining double-digit growth for four consecutive months. Thanks to the increase in fixed transaction prices and the increased demand for high value-added products such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM), memory chip exports amounted to US$6.08 billion, an increase of 108.1%. System chips grew 27.2% to $3.42 billion. (Financial Associated Press)
