📲 Meta's Latest Features for Messenger Calling Include AI

Meta

Meta has introduced several enhancements to its Messenger app, aiming to improve user experience during calls:

- AI-Generated Backgrounds: Users can now customize their video call backgrounds by selecting the effects icon and choosing "Backgrounds." This feature allows for a variety of AI-generated scenes, providing a personalized touch to video interactions.

- High-Definition (HD) Video Calling: Messenger now supports HD video calls, enabled by default on Wi-Fi connections. Users can also activate HD calling over cellular data by adjusting the "Mobile data for HD video" setting.

- Noise Suppression and Voice Isolation: To enhance audio clarity, Messenger offers background noise suppression and voice isolation features, which can be toggled on or off in the call settings.

- Voice and Video Messaging: If a contact is unavailable, users can leave voice or video messages by tapping the "record message" button, providing more dynamic communication options.

- Hands-Free Interaction via Siri: iPhone users can utilize Siri to send messages or make calls through Messenger by saying, "Hey Siri, send a message to [contact name] on Messenger," streamlining hands-free communication.

👾 The Matrix: Alibaba's New AI Model Creates Endless Virtual Worlds at 16 FPS

Researchers from Alibaba, University of Hong Kong, and University of Waterloo introduced a game-changing AI model called "The Matrix".

Until now, creating high-quality simulated environments has been incredibly expensive and time-consuming. Game developers spend countless hours manually crafting environments, and simulation creators face similar challenges. 

Key highlights:

  • Generates infinite-length 720p videos in real-time

  • Offers frame-by-frame control

  • Works in both gaming and real-world environments

  • Runs at up to 16 frames per second

The numbers are impressive:

  • Move-PSNR: ~28.98 (that's tech-speak for "really good quality")

  • Speed: 8-16 FPS in real-time

  • Can handle tasks like simulating a BMW X3 driving through an office (something it never saw in training!)

💊 OneCell Diagnostics Bags $16M to Help Limit Cancer Reoccurrence Using AI

NASIR KACHROO/NURPHOTO

OneCell Diagnostics, a biotech startup, has raised $16 million in funding to develop its AI-powered platform designed to reduce cancer recurrence by improving early detection and monitoring. The company uses advanced analytics on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood samples to detect minimal residual disease (MRD), the traces of cancer cells that remain after treatment.

By identifying MRD at an early stage, OneCell’s technology enables personalized treatment plans and continuous monitoring, reducing the likelihood of cancer returning. This approach represents a significant advancement in precision oncology, offering hope for better patient outcomes.

The new funding will be directed towards clinical trials, expanding the platform's capabilities to address a wider range of cancer types, and accelerating its journey to market. OneCell Diagnostics aims to transform cancer care with AI, making monitoring and treatment more effective and accessible.

🖥️ Google Tackles Quantum Computing's Biggest Challenge

Google's researchers dropped "AlphaQubit" - an AI model that acts like a spellchecker for quantum computers, but way more sophisticated.

AlphaQubit can understand and interpret the incredibly subtle signals coming from quantum computers. It's like teaching an AI to be a quantum mechanic, and it's doing the job better than any traditional algorithm.

Highlights:

  • Catches quantum computing errors with unprecedented accuracy

  • Outperforms traditional error-correction methods

  • Achieved error rates of 2.901% at distance 3 and 2.748% at distance 5 (that's really good!)

  • Actually learns from real quantum hardware, not just theory

How it works:

  • A neural network based on the transformer architecture

  • Two-stage training:

  1. First on simulated data

  2. Then on real quantum computer data

  • Continuous measurement processing instead of simple yes/no data
