Qualcomm previews the next Snapdragon flagship, rebuilt around the agentic-AI phone

As smart terminals race toward agentic AI, more functions run efficiently and safely on device. An agent can run dozens or hundreds of steps from one sentence, or act before you speak by sensing context and memory. That experience rests on the silicon, and the agent trend is pushing chips to evolve: more performance, less … Read more

A Chinese lab taught a vision model to stop getting lost in 3D, and it beat general AI on robot tracking

Picture a robot watering flowers in order, holding the spout a few centimetres above each bloom. Getting that right is easy for people and hard for general AI, and a Chinese team behind RoboTracer argues the problem is how vision models represent space. Why general models get lost in 3D RoboTracer drops XYZ coordinates in … Read more

Across seven benchmarks the WAM architecture hit 1.55 times the success rate of the prior VLA model. High-precision manufacturing success rose from Dyna-1’s 20 per cent to … Read more

ModelBest and OpenBMB open-source ForgeStencil, rewriting 100-plus HPC programs in a week with zero human experts

China sits at the pivot from manufacturing giant to smart-manufacturing power, and industrial software, CAE simulation, fluid compute and electromagnetic EDA, is the bridge. Domestic industrial software has advanced fast in algorithms and physics modelling toward self-reliance, yet in aerospace, chip design and energy exploration it hits one core bottleneck: not enough speed, it runs … Read more
