谷歌云首席执行官托马斯·库里安 （Thomas Kurian） 将 维沙卡帕特南中心描述为"我们在美国以外任何地方投资 的最大人工智能中心"，是横跨 12 个国家的网络的一部 分。此前，谷歌在 2025 年将人工智能基础设施的全球资 本支出增加至 850 亿美元，这是在来自 Microsoft 和亚马 逊等竞争对手的竞争的推动下，这些竞争对手也在印度 数据中心投资了数十亿美元。阿达尼和信实等印度企业 集团同样正在扩大产能，以满足人工智能巨大的计算需 求。 该公告发布之际，印度与美国的科技关系不断发展，印 度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪强调了本地创新，但强调了谷歌在 加速印度"人工智能优先国家"愿景方面的作用。据报 道，谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊 （Sundar Pichai） 与 谷歌已承诺在未来五年（2026-2030 年）投资约 150 亿美元，在印度安得拉邦维沙卡帕特南建设其在美 国以外最大的人工智能基础设施中心。这标志着该公司迄今为止在该国最大的单笔投资，也是在全球对 云和人工智能服务的需求激增的情况下扩大人工智能能力的更广泛推动的一部分。 莫迪讨论了该项目，强调了其通过为企业和公民提供"全民人工智能"的潜力 ...

"有时候，真的被哈基米萌得哈特（heart）软软！""调理好的哈基米也太香了！" 如果你最近在小红书、微博上看到这类分享，别误会，大家讨论的不是猫，而是谷歌的AI大模型—— Gemini。 给AI起外号不稀奇，DeepSeek被叫"D老师"，Claude被叫"克劳德"，都还算正常。但"哈基米"这个称呼，透 着一股强烈的偏爱和宠溺，显得格外不同。 在AI圈内，这是一个很有趣的现象：一边，是谷歌在开发者大会上，"原生多模态"、"架构"、"延迟优 化"，努力将Gemini塑造成一个强大、可靠的生产力工具；另一边，是用户在小红书、SillyTavern和贴吧 里，把它当成"哈基米"、"猫猫"和需要"调教"的"逆子"。大家关心的不是模型参数，而是"怎么写prompt才 能让它不哈气"、"今天的哈基米心情不好，一句话怼我三次"。 技术严肃性与社区娱乐性之间正存在着巨大反差。 1 "哈基米"是怎么叫起来的？ 但语言有种奇妙的魔力，当"Gemini"被念成"哈基米"时，这个源于网络、充满宠溺感的猫咪梗，便不由分 说地为这个AI披上了一层情感滤镜。很快，"芥末泥"、"小gem"之类的爱称也层出不穷。 而Gemini自身的模型特 ...

美国当地时间周三，谷歌正式推出新一代AI视频生成模型Veo 3.1，通过一系列创意与技术升级，显著 提升了AI视频的叙事控制能力、音频融合度与画面真实感。 叙事与音频控制能力升级 Veo 3.1在前代基础上，增强了对对话、环境音效及其他音频元素的处理能力。值得关注的是，原生音 频生成现已全面集成到Flow平台的三大核心功能中： ●"帧转视频"：将静态图像转化为动态场景 ●"素材转视频"：整合多张图像中的元素，创作复合视频 ●"延伸视频"：基于已有片段持续生成，将初始视频延伸至30秒甚至1分钟以上 这些功能此前需要用户手动添加音频，现在则实现了音画同步生成。这不仅让用户能更好地掌控作品的 情感基调和叙事节奏，也省去了后期制作的繁琐步骤。 对企业用户而言，这种集成化的音视频处理方式，使得制作培训材料、营销视频等专业内容更加高效， 显著降低了制作门槛。 多模态输入架构支撑精细编辑 此次更新不仅为使用谷歌AI创作应用Flow的爱好者和创作者拓展了可能性，更为企业用户、开发团队 和创意机构带来了可扩展、可定制的视频解决方案。 新模型在画质、物理模拟效果上均有明显提升，同时保持了与前代一致的定价体系。控制与编辑功能更 加 ...
