All these goodies are designed to give developers a highly autonomous AI-assisted coding and app development experience. How cool is that? 🤩 These fresh features guide AI behavior through rule files and let devs customize AI workflows, already rocking real-world projects like hydrogen economy platforms, fashion styling systems, Pokémon card management, and architectural design visualization tools.
- Mafengwo is officially rolling out some seriously cool stuff to all users! ✈️ Their deep personalized itinerary customization product, “AI Travel Planner,” is now available, and their AI Travel Assistant, “AI Xiaoma,” has simultaneously launched super handy features like “AI Japan Restaurant Booking,” “Menu Photo Recognition,” and “Multi-language Real-time Translation” (supporting 7 languages). The whole aim here is to give users a full-link intelligent outbound free travel experience, from planning trips to on-the-ground services. AI Travel Planner kicks things off with its unique “Proactive Questioning-Demand Calibration-Precise Generation” model, while AI Xiaoma’s new functionalities handle restaurant bookings without user involvement and provide menu translations with actual food images. Talk about convenience! 🤯
- Zhipu AI just dropped something awesome on July 10, 2025: AI Slides! 👩💻✨ This bad boy is a smart PPT generation tool built on their experimental GLM-Experimental model. Users can churn out professional-grade PPTs with just a theme input or document upload, all for free and with a single click.

Cutting-Edge AI Research
- Tri Dao, the co-author of Flash Attention, teamed up with Princeton University PhD students to drop the QuACK kernel library! ⚡️🚀 Developed solely with Python and CuTe-DSL, this bad boy achieves a whopping 33%-50% speed boost on H100 GPUs compared to existing PyTorch libraries. This innovation is seriously turning heads in the industry because it optimizes memory-intensive kernel performance without needing traditional CUDA code. And get this: they’ve even provided detailed tutorials for developers to dive right in. How awesome is that?
- Researchers dropped TreeBench 🧠📊, a diagnostic benchmark, to get a full handle on visual foundational reasoning capabilities. What they found? Existing models still struggle with visual perception and second-order reasoning in complex scenarios. To tackle this, they introduced the TreeVGR training paradigm, which combines localization and reasoning via reinforcement learning. This seriously boosted performance, proving that traceability is the real game-changer for pushing this field forward. You can check out the paper here: Paper Address
- This research dives deep 🔬🧠📈 into the wild idea of pre-trained large language models (LLMs) getting depth-adaptive architectures by dynamically skipping or repeating layers during testing. What’s the big takeaway? This method doesn’t just supercharge inference efficiency; it also cranks up the accuracy for samples that were initially predicted incorrectly. Basically, it’s shaking up what we thought were the limits of fixed model architectures. Want the full lowdown? Find the paper here: Paper Address
AI Industry Outlook & Social Impact
- Manus AI, the general AI agent company, recently shook things up with its China operations. 🇨🇳➡️🇸🇬🤔 We’re talking about some layoffs and moving core technical staff to their Singapore HQ. Right now, their official website screams “Not available in your region,” and their Chinese social media accounts are wiped clean. This pretty clearly signals that Manus is making some major adjustments to its China market strategy. Big moves happening! 🤯

- Xiangyang Qiaomu is absolutely raving about the sheer power of Claude Code! 🤩💻🔥 With just one prompt, it whipped up a web crawler to snag Paul Graham’s articles and turn them into an EPUB e-book in a mere four minutes. That’s insane efficiency!
More Details - Baoyu dropped some real talk, likening writing code to raising kids 👨💻👶💔. He sharply pointed out that developers shouldn’t just “birth” code without “nurturing” it. Not maintaining code after “Vibe Coding” is basically like being an irresponsible “scumbag.” Ouch! More Details
- Baoyu broke down the operating principles of Large Language Models (LLMs) in a super easy-to-understand way! 💡🤓📖 He highlighted that at their core, LLMs predict the next word based on conditional probability. He also dove deep into how the concept of Temperature influences the diversity and creativity of the generated content. This share is all about helping readers grasp the LLM prediction mechanism and the key to its flexible outputs. Super insightful! ✨
More Details - DeepLearning.AI just dropped the latest issue of their “The Batch” weekly report! 🗞️🤖🐝 In it, Andrew Ng dishes on how the U.S. is shaping AI regulation through legislation.
