    NVIDIA and MIT Team Open-Source a 4K Video Enhancement Solution Based on MiniMax H3

    The Efficient-Large-Model team, composed of researchers from NVIDIA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has released the model weights for the video enhancement project Open-H3-Regenerate-2K on Hugging Face, and the inference code has been made available in the NVlabs/Sana repository. The solution is based on MiniMax H3 and supports 2560×1440 2K output, and can achieve native 4K regeneration at up to 3840×2160. During training, the H3 Transformer backbone and the video VAE are frozen, and only the newly added refinement LoRA is trained. Team tests show that on a single NVIDIA B200 GPU, the combined time for upscaling, three-step refinement, and 2K decoding of an approximately 5-second video dropped from 87.26 seconds to 22.45 seconds; on RefinerBench-150, the solution's UniPercept average score is 60.0, compared with 53.4 for the official H3-Regenerate-2K API.

    Rokid Releases Full-Color AI Glasses Rokid Color, Misa Says Losing If It Can't Reach Ten Million Units

    Rokid founder and CEO Misa said after the debut of its first full-color AI glasses Rokid Color that next year Rokid's shipments will be in the millions, the year after that in the high millions, and the year after that ten million will definitely be reached, no later than 2030. Rokid Color was initiated in November 2024; through a partnership with JBD to customize a 0.16cc Micro-LED full-color optical engine, it retains complete functions such as a camera and speakers within a 55-gram body, falling short of Misa's previously stated goal of under 45 grams. The article also sorts out the unresolved issues of full-color solutions in areas such as color cast, yield and cost, field of view, power consumption and heat dissipation, and the lack of killer native applications.

    Xingyuan Intelligence Releases Cross-Embodiment Data Engine Chorus, Untangling the Challenges of the Embodied Data Pipeline

    Xingyuan Intelligence has released Chorus (Zhongxing), a cross-embodiment data engine for robot pre-training, which can convert human manipulation data collected by devices such as smart glasses, chest-mounted cameras, wrist cameras, and UMI into training data adapted to different robot embodiments. Xingyuan claims that the average usable data conversion rate has risen to 85%, that it adapts to 16 robot embodiments under the current test configuration, and that the processing cost per hour of effective robot trajectories has dropped to 15 yuan; combined with 3x instruction augmentation, this can achieve roughly 40x expansion of effective training data. The article also outlines the difficulties in the five stages of embodied data—filtering, annotation, motion conversion, validation, and feedback iteration—as well as the respective shortcomings of four types of data sources: real robots, simulation, UMI, and human first-person videos.

    Boya Intelligence's Liu Xin: After GPT-6, Hardware Will Hold Robots Back

    Liu Xin, founder of Boya Intelligence, judges that models may reach the capability inflection point earlier than hardware, and by then what limits robot operation will be the body rather than the brain. Boya's first dexterous hand, Gaoshan S1, has 22 degrees of freedom and uses a hybrid drive that is primarily tendon-driven, supplemented by direct gear drive and screw-rod linkages, and the company claims to be the world's first dexterous hand company to use a tendon-driven + screw parallel wrist configuration. Liu Xin also mentioned that domestic dexterous hand shipments last year were about 20,000 units, most of which were left idle after being used in humanoid robot performances.

    OpenBMB Reposts Real-World Test Case of MiniCPM-OCR on Handwritten Notes

    OpenBMB reposted a user's real-world test case of using MiniCPM-OCR to recognize actual handwritten notes, and thanked them for sharing. The quoted tweet explains that MiniCPM-OCR consists of one model responsible for reading documents and another model that evaluates the output and flags parts that may be wrong, and is open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license.

    OpenBMB just released an OCR parser alongside a separate model that evaluates its outputs. It’s called MiniCPM-OCR. One model reads your documents. A second model tells you which parts it probably got wrong. 100% open source. Apache 2.0. ↓ https://t.co/ihbtDjZaUy

    English text is being prepared.

    Every rollout, reasoning step and tool call is paid for before you know if it helped. Most don’t. We argue the next leap toward AGI comes not from computing more, but from a cheap System-1 that decides what a costly System-2 should compute at all. https://t.co/6GIRws2YNi

    Edge AI may give telecom operators a place in AI infrastructure

    Edge AI inference may open a new AI role for telecom operators, and the clearest near-term opportunity lies in metro sites such as central offices rather than at cell towers. EnterpriseWeb CEO David Duggal noted that deploying GPU inference at towers and cell sites faces a power and cooling Catch-22: the higher the power consumption, the greater the heat generated, so some AI-RAN approaches push heavy-load inference back to data centers or aggregation layers. Nvidia has already been advancing the edge deployment of AI-RAN and physical AI in collaborative projects with AT&T, T-Mobile, SoftBank, Telefónica and others.

    Wikimedia weighs in on OpenAI and New York Times copyright case: an unfavorable ruling could threaten the open web

    The Wikimedia Foundation has weighed in on the copyright lawsuit between OpenAI and the New York Times. General Counsel Stephen LaPorte said that if a ruling applies the fair use doctrine without careful consideration, it could threaten the sustainability of free knowledge and stifle the development of open-source technology. Wikimedia believes AI companies should comply with licensing requirements: using Wikipedia content requires attribution under the Creative Commons license, and any adapted works must carry the same license. CEO Bernadette Meehan said that expanding access to knowledge through AI is an important goal, but it must respect the contributors and communities that make reliable knowledge possible.
