Chinese platform QiMeng creates processors at Intel 486 and Arm level
Chinese scientists developed a new AI platform capable of independently designing processors at the level of human experts. Researchers from the State Laboratory for Processor Development and the Intelligent Software Research Center presented an open-source project called QiMeng.
This innovative system uses large language models for fully automated design of both hardware and software. According to developers, microchips created by QiMeng are not inferior in performance and efficiency to chips designed by human experts.
As a demonstration of the platform’s capabilities, researchers have already designed 2 processors. 1 variant – QiMeng-CPU-v1 – is comparable in capabilities to Intel 486. 2 – QiMeng-CPU-v2 – can compete with chips based on Arm Cortex-A53. Interestingly, there’s a 26-year gap of technological development between these historical analogs!
QiMeng architecture consists of 3 interconnected layers. Foundation – domain-specific large processor chip model. Middle tier – hardware and software design agent. Upper level – various applications for processor design. This entire system can perform in several days work that takes human engineering teams weeks and months of meticulous labor.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disordersA joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAIStartup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.

Companies are bringing back 5% of those fired due to AI implementation failureMany companies began bringing back employees fired because of artificial intelligence. Analytics company Visier studied employment data of 2.5 million employees from 142 companies worldwide. About 5% of fired employees subsequently returned to their previous employer. This indicator remained stable for several years, but recently began to rise.
