UAE Tech Group G42 Launches Open Source Arabic AI Model Jais


The Stepwise Star open-source multimodal vision-language model Step3-VL-10B excels in multiple benchmark tests with only 10B parameters, solving the problem of insufficient intelligence in small models. The model achieves the best performance in its scale in visual perception, logical reasoning, and math competitions, even surpassing open-source and closed-source flagship models that are 10 to 20 times larger in size.
X Platform has implemented strict restrictions on the image function of the AI model Grok, prohibiting the editing of real person photos, especially严禁 modifying them into explicit images, in response to recent allegations involving 'child sexualization' images.
Musk announced that the new algorithm of the X platform will be open-sourced next week, including core code for content recommendation and ad delivery.

The X platform's open-source code had not been updated for three years prior to this.
The Meta's Llama 4 project was exposed as a 'data embellishment' scandal, with the former chief scientist, Yan Lequin, admitting that the team adjusted data to optimize benchmark test results. This behavior has sparked controversy, revealing management deviations in Meta's AI technology development. Previously, the Llama series was highly regarded for its open-source strategy, but this incident may impact its reputation.
Meta launched the open-source Unity application Spatial Lingo, which uses object recognition to assist language learning. The application is based on Meta's SDK and guides users to identify and describe objects in the real environment using the target language through virtual characters, offering a novel and engaging learning experience.
