“I think we probably need world models for an AGI that can fully render human endeavour useless on Earth.” Listen to our correspondent, Alex Hern, on “Babbage” https://t.co/EQWnh05tVC ...

2月17日，南都N视频记者了解获悉，在完成上一轮5亿美元融资仅一个多月后，大模型独角兽月之暗面 Kimi新一轮超7亿美元（约为人民币48.36亿）的融资即将完成交割，本轮由阿里、五源、九安等老股东 联合领投，腾讯也参与投资。此外，其新一轮100亿-120亿美元估值的融资亦已经开启。 去年12月31日，月之暗面创始人、CEO杨植麟发布内部信，称完成近期的5亿美元（约为人民币34.54 亿）C轮融资后，公司账上还有超过100亿元的人民币现金储备。 杨植麟还强调，"相比二级市场，我们判断还可以从一级市场募集更大量资金，事实上，我们B/C轮融 资金额就超过绝大部分IPO募资及上市公司的定向增发。所以我们短期不着急上市。当然未来我们计划 将上市作为手段来加速AGI，择时而动，主动权掌握在我们手中。" 1月27日，月之暗面Kimi发布并开源其Kimi K2.5模型，并称它是Kimi迄今最智能的模型，该模型除了在 长文本上展示了一定的优势以外，也在Agent、代码、图像、视频及一系列通用智能任务上取得一定的 表现。自此，月之暗面kimi正式合上多模态模型的"拼图"。 本文自南都N视频 采写 | 南都N视频记者 林文琪 当智 ...

如果还有"春晚最喜爱的节目评选"，2026年春晚你投哪个？ "春晚最夯" "MVP" "每一帧都是绝美" 这是2026春晚《贺花神》节目的网友评论。 当白居易舟行水上，吟出"犹在水中央"； 当绘画大家徐渭泼墨成花； 当王昭君凝眉转身回望中原，一拨琵琶； 我的中国文化DNA动了。 直到节目结束，主持人念出"火山引擎用豆包大模型图像和视频生成能力打造十二花神视效"，很多观众 才意识到，AI的能力已经走到了这一步。 这也是有史以来AI含量和科技含量最大的一届央视春晚。 这首先是一场给十几亿人的AI视觉奇观。 站在2026年的起点，谈论AGI的终极想象已经陷入流俗——大部分的人类想象，都没有超出过《Her》 或者《钢铁侠》里全知全能的AI助手。 相较之下，距离我们更近的现实，正在剧烈地发生变化。 在除夕当天，豆包AI互动总数达19亿，"豆包过年"活动，就已经帮助用户生成超过5000万张新春主题 头像、生成超过1亿条新春祝福。除夕当天，火山引擎豆包大模型的峰值TPM（每分钟token数）正是 在春晚主持人宣布用豆包进行第二轮互动之的这一分钟内，豆包大模型推理吞吐量达到633亿tokens。 AI界的"技术奇观"仍在继续 ...

For decades, engineers have been trying to create robots that look and act human. Now, rapid advances in artificial intelligence are taking humanoids from the lab to the factory floor. As fears grow that AI will displace workers, a global race is underway to develop human-like robots able to do human jobs. Competitors include Tesla, startups backed by Amazon and Nvidia and stateup supported Chinese companies. Boston Dynamics is a frontr runner. The Massachusetts company valued at more than a billion dollars ...
