Having been involved with NPU validation for several years, I realized I hadn’t organized and summarized my knowledge well, which makes it easy to forget. I will take some time to整理 and share some basic concepts. 1) Basic Definition of AI Figure 1 – Artificial IntelligenceAI, Machine LearningML, Deep LearningDL and GenerativeAI are interrelated Artificial … Read more
(Source: MIT News) Diffusion models (such as OpenAI’s DALL-E) are increasingly becoming effective assistants in design conception. Humans only need to input commands, and these systems can generate images, create videos, or optimize design drawings, leading to unexpected innovative solutions. But did you know that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has also made breakthrough progress in … Read more
In the 2018 film “Avengers: Infinity War”, superheroes struggle against the villain Thanos to save the universe. As they rack their brains to find a way to defeat Thanos, Doctor Strange mentions his time travel: “I walked ahead in time and saw different futures, saw all the possible outcomes of the impending conflict.” He glimpsed … Read more
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) recently released 2025 V1 version of the IDC Worldwide AI and Generative AI Spending Guide, the total global investment in artificial intelligence (AI) IT is expected to reach $315.8 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow to $815.9 billion by 2028, with a five-year compound annual growth … Read more
Today’s AI agents are capable of perceiving, making decisions, and taking actions independently. With the rise of large language model (LLM)-driven AI agents, we are on the brink of a new era: AI agents may form their own societies and coexist harmoniously with humans. Below, we will discuss what AI agents are, why they are … Read more
Generative AI has entered the daily work and life of many people. Nowadays, with just a simple input on a computer, users can generate answers or media content to their questions or needs through DNN models (typically using a large language model, LLM). However, the drawback of this application scenario is the overly simplistic operation, … Read more
