first_img Central Daily News: Former CEO of Changxin Storage accused of pressuring for Samsung technology

According to a report by South Korea's "JoongAng Ilbo," a statement obtained from a former head of equipment investment at Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT), who has a background at Samsung Electronics, reveals that the former CEO of CXMT, Wang Ningguo, summoned the Korean team, including the individual in question, from October to December 2016. He demanded they bring back Samsung Electronics' Process Recipe Plan (PRP) and equipment information, threatening to report them to the South Korean government if they failed to do so, and warned them to verify their connections and not to lie. The individual stated that they felt scared at the time. The report mentioned that CXMT's management referred to Samsung Electronics as "Huangshan."After working at Samsung Electronics for 28 years, the individual joined CXMT and was prosecuted for allegedly leaking and using Samsung's 1.6 trillion won investment in the world’s first 18-nanometer DRAM process without authorization. In April of this year, they were sentenced to seven years in prison in the first trial and are currently in the second trial. The PRP includes the sequence of about 600 steps in DRAM manufacturing, equipment, condition values, and the companies and models of the equipment. Park, a former process design engineer at Samsung, hand-copied the relevant content into a 12-page notebook in September 2016 and brought it out, and is currently under an Interpol Red Notice.During the court hearing, the individual stated that there was a claim made during communications with the Chinese side that investment would not be provided to CXMT if they could not produce the 18-nanometer process. They later learned that the other party had wanted the technology from the very beginning, and CXMT initially had no plans to develop it independently. The pressure mentioned occurred before a meeting to prepare for the investment application. CXMT was established in 2016 with an investment of 14.4 billion yuan from Hefei Industrial Investment, a subsidiary of the Hefei municipal government, and had not been profitable for about 10 years, achieving its first annual profit last year with a net profit of 7.1 billion yuan.

Xiao Hong, the founder of General Intelligence Manus, stated that preparations for a domestic version are underway

The founder of the general-purpose intelligent agent Manus, Xiao Hong, stated that when Manus was born, Codex and Claude Cowork had not yet appeared in the market, and the product positioning has always been a general-purpose intelligent agent. He likened Manus to a computer-selling business, believing that users may primarily purchase computers for work, but if they cannot watch videos or play games, the experience will be quite limited; therefore, it should not be confined to office tasks.Xiao Hong indicated that videos and games are important scenarios for unleashing creativity, which need to be perfected through the local client Manus Studio. The related videos for Cue are entirely produced by Manus Studio, without using video generation models; instead, the agent first writes the code, which is then converted into video. With the help of cloud computers, Manus can also create online games that support user participation with friends.In terms of infrastructure, Manus cloud computers can provide cloud-based Linux, Mac, and Windows environments. Xiao Hong stated that when the agent operates the computer in the cloud, it will not compete with the user for the local mouse cursor, and he anticipates that individuals will be able to control large-scale computing clusters in the future to satisfy curiosity and conduct experiments and explorations in fields such as mathematics and science. He also described Cue as having an independent phone number, email, payment capability, computer, and sufficient intelligence, and stated that if such agents could be regarded as humans, there might be more changes in upper-level interactions. Xiao Hong mentioned that building product experiences in an overseas open ecosystem is relatively easier, and Manus is actively preparing a domestic version.

first_img Tencent secretly tests AI game companion product E-Cosmic

According to the WeChat public account DuJia, Tencent is secretly testing an AI game companion product called Goose Dimension, which focuses on digital human AI partners, providing capabilities such as voice conversation, real-time image recognition, and game companionship. The product features multiple virtual characters with different personalities, including female characters Gu Yu, Shen Lu Bai, and Xia Xia, which are available for selection. After users choose a character, they can chat casually or activate the game companion mode, which DuJia claims is compatible with many mainstream online games.DuJia uses the character Xia Xia as an example to introduce the product interface. The main interface displays the digital human image and a self-introduction of the character, who is set to be talkative and not aloof, and claims to be a bronze-level expert. The left side has options for time, desktop pet, and skill entry; the time feature is used to freeze the screen and can be set as a desktop wallpaper, while the desktop pet allows the character to be displayed as a dynamic cartoon or static comic image on the desktop. The bottom provides text input, voice calls, and voice input, and the top left corner allows users to return to the character selection page. In game companion mode, users can have real-time conversations during gameplay, and the character will automatically respond with voice.DuJia states that all functions of Goose Dimension are temporarily free during the internal testing period and do not consume energy, but the interface has revealed a billing framework for exchanging energy with star coins. The rules listed in the pop-up for the official version show that text conversations, game companionship, voice calls, and image generation will consume energy based on rounds, per minute, or per image. Energy can be exchanged for star coins, with a minimum consumption of 10 star coins per transaction, and quick selection options are provided. Currently, during the internal testing phase, the star coin balance and energy values have no practical effect.
