First Generative AI Model

 

Hong Kong unveils its first generative AI model


HONG KONG -- Hong Kong on Tuesday unveiled its first-ever generative artificial intelligence (AI) model, dubbed HKGAI V1, heralding a new chapter in the city's AI development.

The tool was developed by the Hong Kong Generative AI Research and Development Center (HKGAI) under the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government's InnoHK innovation program.

As of now, approximately 70 HKSAR government departments have test-run the locally developed AI tool powered by DeepSeek's data learning model. This innovative achievement signifies the successful localization of DeepSeek in Hong Kong, injecting new vitality into the city's AI ecosystem while showcasing the robust collaborative innovation capabilities between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland in AI, according to an HKGAI press release.

Speaking at the launch event, Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry of the HKSAR government, emphasized that AI is at the forefront of a new technological revolution and industrial transformation, and Hong Kong is actively engaging in this AI wave.

Sun also underscored the HKSAR government's broader efforts to support AI development, including the establishment of an AI supercomputing center, a 3-billion-Hong Kong dollar ($386 million) AI funding scheme, and the clustering of over 800 AI companies at Science Park and Cyberport.

He expressed optimism that the locally developed large language model will soon be made available for use, not only by businesses and residents but also by overseas Chinese communities.

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the

New Frost-Resistant Sand-Control Agent

  Across China: Chinese researchers develop new frost-resistant sand-control agent LANZHOU -- A Chinese research team has developed a chemical sand-fixation material suitable for use in cold desert regions, which is expected to serve as a new tool for sand control and desertification prevention in such areas. The application of chemical materials to stabilize shifting sands is one of the primary methods of desertification control. This approach involves the use of adhesive chemical substances to bind loose sand particles together, thereby mitigating encroachment by wind-blown sand. However, conventional chemical sand-fixation materials have been mainly designed for hot and arid regions. In colder, high-altitude or high-latitude desert regions, such as the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau, which are located in Northwest, Southwest and North China, cooler temperatures often render traditional methods of sand control ineffective. Researchers from the Northwest Institut...

Blueprint Of Human Brain Cortex

  Chinese scientists uncover complex blueprint of human brain cortex BEIJING -- Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic relationship between the topological structure of human brain cortex connections and genetic characteristics, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Fan Lingzhong, a researcher at the institute, explained that neural networks operate as human think, learn, or perceive the world, with trillions of connections enabling rapid information transfer. The study addresses a fundamental question: How do these intricate connections form, and why do distinct brain regions exhibit such orderly distribution across the cortex? "The brain begins following a genetic 'blueprint' during embryonic development," Fan noted. Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly correlated due to the vast numerical disparity between genes and...

Bamboo In The World’s Longest Sea Bridge

  How Chinese engineers used bamboo in the world’s longest sea bridge, and more Chinese scientists have been working on new technologies to make stronger and more durable bamboo-based materials for large-scale infrastructure, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in the emerging eco-friendly industry. Bamboo, which is known for its rapid growth and high strength, was engineered into composite panels used on the scenic platforms that stretch for kilometres along the  Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge , the official Science and Technology Daily reported on Wednesday. Six years after they were installed on the bridge – the world’s largest sea crossing – the bamboo-based panels have withstood sunlight, typhoons and seawater corrosion, remaining “as solid as ever”, according to the report. Lou Zhichao, from Nanjing Forestry University’s Bamboo Research Institute, said most of the world’s bamboo was grown in developing countries. “China is not only the world’s largest bamboo pr...
