At the Baidu AI Open Day event held today, Baidu Cloud Disk and Baidu Wenku jointly launched the "AI Camera" feature, aiming to provide users with a super entrance that integrates storage, search, photo editing, scanning, translation, and creation. This marks another important breakthrough for Baidu in the field of AI application scenarios.

The newly launched "AI Camera" function is now available on the Baidu Cloud Disk App. Users only need to click on the camera entry at the top of the app to access the feature interface, supporting direct photo shooting or importing images from the cloud disk and local photo albums on the phone for processing.

The "AI Camera" integrates a rich set of AI functional modules, including photo editing, beautification, photo recognition, problem-solving, text extraction, translation, scanning, contract checking, and other intelligent services. This design allows users to complete the entire process from shooting to processing within a single platform without having to switch between multiple apps.

According to Baidu, the newly launched "AI Camera" fully covers core capabilities in the "storage, management, usage, creation, and sharing" stages. By deeply integrating Baidu's technical advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, this feature aims to address 99% of users' needs for photo storage, shooting, processing, and management within a single Baidu Cloud Disk app.

The launch of this feature reflects Baidu's deep insight into user usage scenarios. In the mobile internet era, users often need to use multiple specialized apps to complete different image processing tasks, while the emergence of the "AI Camera" is expected to simplify this process and improve user experience efficiency.

Small Model Triumph! HKUST and Kuaishou Jointly Develop Evolutionary Search Technology, Letting AI Art Generation Move Beyond 'Brawn Over Brains'

In the field of AI art generation, there has long been a general understanding that generating high-quality images and videos requires larger models, more parameters, and stronger computing power. However, the research team from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Kuaishou Technology recently proposed the EvoSearch (evolutionary search) technology, which is completely overturning this traditional notion. The most impressive performance of this technology is: after using EvoSearch, the generation quality of the Stable Diffusion 2.1 model with only 865M parameters has astonishing results.
