It is said that Kimi is testing the deep reasoning function internally, and a team will work overtime for seven days during the National Day holiday
The news that "Kimi is conducting internal testing of the deep reasoning function" has attracted widespread attention in the industry. Some netizens broke the news that Kimi's team worked overtime for seven days during the National Day holiday and received three times the salary. According to people familiar with the matter, Kimi is preparing to launch a very powerful function related to deep thinking. In the next version, there will be a "deep reasoning" switch under the search entrance, which can answer questions that simple searches cannot solve, and even conduct self-reflection, so the progress has been crazy during the National Day holiday. As for when the new version will be released, there is no news yet.
The internal testing of the new function aims to improve the machine's ability to understand context through more complex algorithms and models. In future conversations, Kimi will not only be a simple question-and-answer robot, but will be able to have deeper conversations, understand intentions and provide corresponding suggestions. This technology hopes to break through the limitations of current smart assistants, allowing machines to better reason and judge when understanding user needs, and provide more accurate and personalized services.

Revealing that the platform reduces the bit rate and other operations to compress the image quality, the film and television hurricane removed the video and became blurry. Popular science video: Due to various reasons, it can only be removed from the entire network. iQiyi responded
Recently, Hurricane Film and Television released its latest video: "The clarity is not as good as it was 4 years ago! Is the blurry video just an illusion?" The video explains how video platforms reduce traffic costs by reducing the video bitrate, changing the encoding format, and other methods to compress the quality of uploaded videos. Some video websites even dynamically adjust the video based on the number of views. When the number of viewers is small, they will give a higher bitrate. Once the video becomes popular and the number of viewers increases, they will reduce the bitrate and adjust the format to save traffic costs. In the video, Tim said that this method of compressing video quality has affected the blogger's content expression. As of noon on the 9th, the video has received more than 400,000 views on Bilibili.
However, on the afternoon of October 9, Film and Television Hurricane posted a message saying: "Due to various reasons, the video about the clarity has to be removed from the entire network. We still hope that Internet technology can continue to evolve so that everyone can see clearer videos." In fact, it is almost a well-known secret that domestic video platforms reduce the bit rate. As early as three years ago, the relevant topic was on the hot search. At that time, some people found that the clarity of 1080P on domestic video platforms was not as good as YouTube's 720P, and the difference with 4K was even greater.
According to reports, regarding the video clarity issue, iQiyi customer service responded that because the question is quite professional, it cannot be answered for the time being. A specialist will be arranged to verify and give an accurate answer after verification. If there is a problem found by self-inspection, it will definitely be handled.
In response to this dynamic,
Station A also responded quickly, forwarding the Weibo of Film and Television Hurricane and humorously stated: "Here, there is no extra charge for watching 4K content." At the same time, Station A did not forget to ridicule its own current situation: "Although we are facing business challenges, we will never compromise on the insistence on video quality."
It is worth noting that
Film and Television Hurricane is one of the most professional teams in the domestic video industry, and is nicknamed "the quality leader" of Station B by netizens. The team has also been constantly exploring higher quality images
, and has launched 4K and 8K quality images on Station B for the first time. It has also launched many popular science videos about videos, including video frame rate, etc. (Fast Technology, Phoenix Finance)

matter was so popular, many people with ulterior motives shot videos to spread rumors, smear and slander him. For a time, all the criticism was directed at him, and the more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.
Dalan said that the unprecedented and very strange ups and downs in the stock market were unimaginable in the past when information was not well developed. This black swan event was used by many people with ulterior motives to attack him. He was very sad to see many people scolding him, and everyone misunderstood him. "Can you understand the feeling of grievance of losing the game even though you calculated everything correctly? I think I am pretty good, and I think I am a kind person."
It is worth mentioning that Dalan has removed all videos that predicted a sharp rise in the stock market and called on fans to invest in stocks, and set a setting in the comment area that "authors are only allowed to comment on their own." (Sanyan Technology)

On October 9, after raising $6.6 billion from several financial companies, OpenAI executives have informed employees that the organization will play a greater role in protecting data centers and AI chips, and will no longer rely solely on Microsoft.

The U.S. Department of Justice's plan to split up Google was exposed, forcing it to sell part of its business and restore search competition, which may be the first large-scale antitrust split in history
According to foreign media reports, the U.S. Department of Justice told a federal judge on Tuesday that it is considering recommending that the judge force Google to sell part of its business to reduce the harm caused by the company's monopoly in the online search market. If Google is split up, it will be the first time the U.S. government has sought to split up a company on the grounds of illegal monopoly since the Justice Department's failed effort to split Microsoft 20 years ago. The 32-page court document filed by the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday lists a framework for the judge to consider potential options when the case enters the remedial stage.
The Justice Department said in the document that it is "considering behavioral and structural remedies to prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to gain an advantage over competitors or new entrants in Google Search and Google Search-related products and features." Google has gained benefits in scale and data by signing illegal distribution agreements with other technology companies to make its search engine the default option on smartphones and web browsers.
If the US Department of Justice's proposal is eventually supported by the court, Google will face the severe situation of being forced to sell part of its business. At present, Google has not yet made an official response to this matter. (Caizhong News)

SpaceX plans to conduct the fifth Starship test flight on October 13

Previously, the FAA has repeatedly stated that this flight test may be postponed to November.
