Google rehires the company's former AI researcher for $2.7 billion
Tech giants are racing to hire the best AI talent at a premium price, but Google is paying a price that is beyond everyone's reach. Noam Shazeer, a co-author of the 2017 seminal Neural Network Architecture Transformer paper, "Attention Is All You Need," left the company in 2021 to start Character.AI after Google refused to publish the chatbot he developed. When Character.AI is in trouble, the former employer suddenly shows up. Google wrote a check for $2.7 billion, and part of the deal, in addition to licensing Character.AI technology, was to get Shazeer to agree to work for him again. Internally, Shazeer's return is widely seen as the main reason why the company agreed to pay a $2.7 billion licensing fee. Shazeer is now one of the three people in charge of the next version of Gemini by the search giant. Google declined to let Shazeer be interviewed.

Two years after its launch, Meta discontinued the QuestPro headset
Meta has announced the discontinuation of its high-end virtual reality headset, the Quest Pro, and the company plans to empty its inventory of the Quest Pro by the end of the year. The Quest Pro was launched in 2022, but the market response was flat. Meta didn't explicitly state the reason for the discontinuation of the Quest Pro in a blog post, but it's clear that the headset wasn't widely welcomed by the market.
The Quest Pro was priced at a whopping $1,499 (currently about 10,536 yuan) at the time of its launch, and a few months later the price dropped permanently to $999 (currently about 7,022 yuan), but it's still not cheap, especially considering that Meta later launched the more cost-effective Quest 3 at $499 (currently about 3,507 yuan).

Intel has confirmed the root cause of the instability of the 13th and 14th Gen Core desktop processors, and will introduce a new version of the fix microcode
Intel employee Thomas Hannaford posted in the community on Intel's official website on the 25th local time, saying that Intel has confirmed the root cause of the instability of the 13th and 14th generation Core desktop processors, and will launch the 0x12B version of the microcode to further fix the problem in the future.
Intel said that the instability of the minimum operating voltage shift (elevation) of the Vmin Shift of these processors is that the Clock Tree Circuit in the IA core part of the CPU core is particularly prone to aging reliability at high voltages and high temperatures. However, the clock tree circuit with aging reliability may cause the clock duty cycle to shift, which in turn will cause the instability of the overall system.

Microsoft's new tool corrects AI illusions
Microsoft has revealed a new tool that corrects AI illusions, Correction. Hallucinations are inherent defects of large models, and Correction mainly corrects hallucinations through cross-validation, which does not fundamentally solve the problem of hallucinations. Correction first flags potentially erroneous text, then compares it to the source of the facts for fact-checking. Correction is available as part of the Azure AI Content Safety API and can be used with any text generation model, including Meta's Llama and OpenAI's GPT-4o. Os Keyes, a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington, thinks Correction may reduce some of the problems, but it will also create new ones, as its hallucination detection library also produces hallucinations.
