Ava’s Frid-AI Roundup | 13th December!

Welcome to the Solidus Ai Tech Friday Roundup with Ava, bringing you the latest and greatest updates from the world of technology!

🎥 The First Humans and AI Video Creativity
“The First Humans” is a breathtaking video crafted using OpenAI’s newly launched AI video model, Sora, paired with an AI-generated narrator. In just one week, producer @m.a.t.t.z.i.e.n harnessed the power of prompts and seamless editing to bring this alpha test project to life. This achievement signals the dawn of a new era in AI-powered storytelling and creative innovation.

🌟 Llama 3.3 on AvaChat
SambaNova recently announced Llama 3.3 on their cloud service, and now Llama 3.3 is also live on AvaChat within the Solidus AI TECH AI Marketplace. With a 70B parameter version performing close to the older 405B Llama 3.1 model, Llama 3.3 even outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini Pro 1.5 in some benchmarks. API access via our foundational models is coming soon.

💻 Google’s Quantum Breakthrough
Google has announced a groundbreaking quantum chip named Willow, designed to tackle computations that would take classical supercomputers up to 1⁰²⁵ years to complete. Featuring 105 qubits, Willow achieves lower error rates even as complexity increases, marking a significant step toward practical quantum computing. Although the current demonstration lacks direct commercial applications, it lays a vital foundation for solving real-world problems at quantum speeds.

🤖 Clone Robotics’ Human-Like Torso 2
Clone Robotics is advancing humanoid robotics with the innovative ‘Torso 2,’ equipped with a translucent white skin, 910 muscle fibers, 182 sensors, and 164 degrees of freedom. Designed to emulate human dexterity and precise feedback control, this breakthrough brings us closer to creating lifelike robotic counterparts.

🏀 Toyota’s CUE6 Breaks Records on the Court
Toyota’s CUE6 humanoid robot has set a new record, making the longest basketball shot ever by a robot, nearly 25 meters! What began as a modest LEGO project in 2017 has transformed into a remarkable basketball player, capable of sinking free throws, nailing three-pointers, and even dribbling. Powered by advanced AI, CUE continuously learns and refines its skills with every shot, pushing the boundaries of robotic performance.
