DeepMind Research Reveals Outstanding Performance of Large Language Models in Image and Audio Compression


DeepMind CEO Hassabis said the gap between China and the US in AI is only a few months, specifically praising Chinese companies like DeepSeek for their impressive model performance, challenging the Western underestimation of China's AI.
Boston Dynamics announced at CES 2026 that its iconic humanoid robot Atlas has officially transitioned from a lab prototype to a commercial mass production stage. This fully electric robot, developed over more than a decade, has been upgraded to an enterprise-level high-strength version. The first batch will be deployed at shareholder Modern Motor and partner Google DeepMind. It is regarded as the most advanced industrial humanoid robot to date.
DeepSeek's research found that optimizing neural network architecture, rather than simply increasing model size, can significantly enhance the reasoning ability of large language models. Its "Manifold-Constrained Hyperconnectivity" technology makes subtle adjustments to existing architectures, providing a new path for AI development that does not rely on an infinite increase in parameters.
Google DeepMind predicts 2026 as a pivotal year for AI, with continual learning enabling autonomous knowledge absorption and self-improvement. The 'nested approach' introduced at NeurIPS 2025 enhances large language models' context handling, laying groundwork for this advancement.....
