Seven Major AI Transformation Trends to Watch in 2024


The first full-modal real-time interactive visual language model in China, VisualGPT, was launched in Qingdao. Users can upload images and videos and directly select areas to ask questions. The model provides answers, code, or 3D environments within seconds. It also opens up an intelligent agent training platform and computing resources, pushing AI interaction into a new stage of visual interface instant interaction.
AI search engine Perplexity officially launched its advertising program in the US market this week, creating a new model for search advertising. This highly anticipated AI company has successfully attracted several advertising giants, including Indeed, Whole Foods, Universal McCann, and PMG. Unlike traditional search advertising, Perplexity has innovated an advertising format that integrates into the AI interaction process. Advertisers can naturally incorporate questions in relevant contexts, such as how to use Indeed to optimize job search strategies.
Tests by the AI coding tool Cursor show that GPT-5.2 excels in complex programming tasks such as building a complete Web browser, with strong logical consistency, task persistence, and engineering understanding, significantly surpassing Claude Opus4.5.
The DeepSeek team launched the Engram module, introducing a 'conditional memory axis' into sparse large language models, aiming to address the issue of computational resource waste when traditional Transformers process repetitive knowledge. This module, as a complement to the mixture-of-experts model, integrates N-gram embedding technology into the model, improving efficiency in processing repetitive patterns.
The Volvo EX60 will become the world's first mass-produced vehicle to be equipped with Google Gemini large language model, achieving a conversational AI infotainment system. Its 'Raven Core' computing platform integrates Qualcomm and NVIDIA chips, enabling vehicles to understand intentions and proactively perform complex tasks, driving the intelligent vehicle into a new stage.
