NO.1 OpenAI launches SWE-bench Verified

OpenAI has launched a more reliable code generation evaluation benchmark: SWE-bench Verified. The company said in a blog post on its official website: "As our systems get closer to AGI (general artificial intelligence), we need to evaluate them on increasingly challenging tasks." This benchmark is an improved version (subset) of the existing SWE-bench, designed to more reliably evaluate the ability of AI models to solve real-world software problems.

Comments:The SWE-bench Verified released by OpenAI is an important advancement, representing a deepening of the ability to evaluate AI models in practical software engineering tasks.

NO.2 US team announces new breakthrough in high-temperature superconductivity

The research team of the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, reported in the latest issue of Nature Communications the preparation of an ultra-high-performance superconducting wire based on rare earth barium copper oxide (REBCO), which is the world's highest-performance high-temperature superconducting wire segment, while significantly improving the cost-performance index. The University at Buffalo, State University of New York, stated in a press release on August 10 that this is the highest value of critical current density and pinning force reported so far under all magnetic fields and operating temperatures.

Comments:The new breakthrough in high-temperature superconductivity by the American team marks a huge progress in superconducting materials technology and is expected to bring revolutionary applications in areas such as energy transmission and magnetic levitation transportation.

NO.3 New research: There is a lot of liquid water deep inside Mars

A new study analyzed the seismic waves detected by NASA's InSight unmanned probe on Mars and found that there is a pore and crack area filled with liquid water deep inside Mars. The study believes that this area exists 11 to 20 kilometers below the surface of Mars, and its liquid water reserves far exceed the amount of water previously believed to be contained in the ocean on the surface of Mars. Although these underground water resources cannot be mined because they are too deep, this aquifer may be a "refuge" for life.

Comments:The discovery of liquid water deep inside Mars not only provides a new perspective for the study of Martian geology, but also provides new clues for exploring the possibility of life on Mars.

NO.4 After being convicted of search monopoly, US Justice Department considers breaking up Google

According to media reports, after a U.S. court ruled that Google had a monopoly on the online search market, the U.S. Department of Justice is considering a rare move to break up Google. If the Department of Justice really seeks to impose this penalty, Google will face the same risk of its core business being "split up" as Microsoft has faced for more than 20 years, becoming the first company in more than 20 years to be pushed by the U.S. government to be heavily fined for violating antitrust laws.

Comments:The U.S. Department of Justice is considering splitting up Google, a rare punishment that could have a significant impact on Google. If implemented, Google will become another technology giant after Microsoft that faces the risk of being split up for violating antitrust laws.

NO.5 Human first: SpaceX to carry out manned polar mission

SpaceX recently announced that it will carry out the first manned mission around the Earth's poles before the end of this year. The private space flight mission is led by cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang, and the other three members include a polar explorer, a roboticist and a filmmaker. The mission, called "Fram2", is named after the Norwegian exploration ship "Fram". It will carry the "Endurance" Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX's launch site in Florida into the polar corridor and fly directly over the North Pole and the South Pole.

Comments:SpaceX's crewed polar mission is another milestone in human space exploration, demonstrating the potential of private space travel and the future of commercial space travel.
