AI RACE

China to Boost Computing Power by 50% as AI Race with U.S. Ramps Up 💥

China is aggressively expanding its computing capabilities in an effort to keep pace with the US in the high-stakes artificial intelligence race.

Key Points:

• The Chinese government unveiled plans this week to increase the country's computing power by 50% by 2025. The goal is to reach 300 exaflops of computing power, up from 197 exaflops currently.

• The extra computing muscle will support AI and other data-intensive applications like finance and education. China sees AI as essential for driving economic growth.

• Expanding data centers and strengthening the domestic tech supply chain are also part of the strategy. China wants to reduce its dependence on foreign tech.

Both countries view leadership in strategic fields such as artificial intelligence and semiconductors as vital to their economic and national security interests.

Google Cloud Announces New Generative AI Search Capabilities for Doctors

Google has unveiled a major AI breakthrough for healthcare. Google Cloud's new search tools, announced this week, aim to cut clinician busywork and boost patient care.

Details:

• Google's Vertex AI Search platform can now aggregate data from across medical records into one searchable place.

• Doctors can ask natural language questions like "What medications has this patient taken?" and quickly get relevant answers.

• The capabilities integrate with existing systems and workflows, with no access to customer data.

• Healthcare organizations like Mayo Clinic and Highmark Health are exploring the potential, starting cautiously.

This is a promising innovation that could save healthcare workers precious time while helping them provide smarter, more informed care. As Google works closely with partners to refine the technology, it may soon transform how clinicians access and use vital health data.

AI Tutorial

Combine Images in Midjourney

Combine one or multiple images to create another one with one of these methods:

1. BLEND

This method allows you to combine up to 5 images in total.

Type /blend and select the two images you want to combine.

Example:

You can also change the aspect ratio:

This method allows you to combine up to 5 images in total.
The default aspect ratio is 1:1. It's possible to change it to portrait --ar 2:3 and landscape --ar 3:2. Blending images in the same ratio (as supported), will avoid black borders in the result.

2. IMAGE PROMPT

/imagine prompt: link img 1 + link img 2 + text prompt

Example:

[image link 1] [image link 2] Cinematic still, wide angle shot, a vase and a pink piece of fruit on a glass surface, in the style of eye-catching resin jewelry, in a time machine futuristic and a neon box in translucent glass and porcelain in glacier, fog, detailed craftsmanship, frozen movement, poolcore, soft and dreamy depictions, kodak portra, monochromatic serenity, b - movie aesthetics, surreal landscape, sci - fi, bold photography, old pink color scheme --ar 16:9 --no people --style raw

This method allows you more flexibility, as you can change the text prompt and parameters like chaos, stylize, image weight, etc.
