This means developers can ditch the hassle and cost of third-party scraping APIs, letting the model process real-time web content directly. It’s a game-changer for cutting costs and boosting efficiency! 🚀 Don’t miss this (AI News) interpretation to learn how to make the most of this awesome new feature!
   

Frontier Research

1. Do AI models get tunnel vision when understanding images, missing the forest for the trees due to fixed mindsets? A latest research (AI News) paper from arXiv introduces the CoKnow framework, which supercharges prompt learning by integrating multiple knowledge representations, drastically broadening the model’s “horizon.” 🧠 In plain English, it stops the model from sticking to just one path, instead offering various “knowledge perspectives” to analyze problems. This approach has outperformed existing methods across 11 public datasets, leading to more accurate model predictions.

2. How about an AI that doesn’t just talk, but truly “empathizes”? A frontier paper (AI News) titled E3RG proposes a groundbreaking new multimodal empathetic response generation system, breaking the task down into a three-part symphony: understanding, memory, and generation. This system can conjure up virtual human characters with rich emotions and consistent identities without any extra training, as if they possess genuine “empathy.” 🥰 This research bagged first place in the ACM MM 25 challenge, paving the way for more human-centric human-computer interactions.

Industry Outlook & Social Impact

1. Underneath the AI investment frenzy, the reality is a bit grim: a MIT study found that a staggering 95% of companies saw zero returns from their AI investments, effectively washing away approximately $40 billion in capital! 📉 The report pinpoints the root of this “Generative AI divide” not as a lack of talent or resources, but rather AI systems’ common inability to remember and adapt, preventing deep integration into critical workflows. As Baoyu’s (AI News) share suggests, successful AI deployment is more about forging deep collaborative relationships than simply purchasing a product.
